~. matches
tween mufded gamecocks at the poultry
show continues to be a nightly feature and
have proved a good drawing card. The
birds go at each other tiercely. but the
features generally objected to at the cooking
mains are eliminated. the birds wearing
large muffs on their spurs.
The three-round match between two
young black stays, owned by Sadler and
Deakin and H. Heideman was a pretty eN-
hibition last night, both birds doing some
clever work on the defensive by ducling
and lodging.
The wind-up between ". H. Thompson's
big black red and Sadler and Deakin'.s gray
pyle was a spectacular bout. The Gray pyle
was outclassed. but game. The black red
when released started to crow. but his ex-
ultant note was cut short by the gray pyle's
fierce attack. But for the muffers the
black red probably would have finished the
other bird in the second round, as he land
ed neavify and was nearly always the ag-
sreSsor. The bouts were three rounds each,
with two-minute rounds and one minute
rests.
