FOUGHT GAME COCKS
IN PELT|NG RAIN

A cooking main was pulled of not far
from the Burrillviile line yesterday
morning between birds OF that town and
Woonsoc5et.
The main was the best in seven battles,
and was won by Burrillville, which took
four out OF six. Although the rain fell
In torrents, wetting 10 the skin those who
were present, the so sports from Burrill-
Vile, Woonsocket, Whitinsville and other
places who gathered around tho pit were
so much interested in the exciting battle.
and the betting that no attention was
paid to the rain.
The sports arrived at the scene OF the
main shortly after o'clock In the morn
ing, but 1t was $3.50 before the first battle
was begun Woonsocket showed a dark
red pound 10 ounce cock, and Burrill-
vile showed a ginger cock OF the same
weight The battle lasted four minutes,
but was lively. 1t was won by Woon-
socket.
The second battle was won by Burrill-
Vile In two minutes. The third battle
proved to be an interesting one, lasting
six minutes. 1t was won by Burrillvile
which showed a blue cock weighing
pounds ounces. Woonsocket In this bat
tie showed a pound ounce pyle. In the
next battle the birds were not evenly
matched and the battle was not very in
terestng. Each side showed a dark red
cock, the Woonsocket bird weighing Z
pounds and ounces, while the Burrill-
Vile bird tipped the scales at but pounds
and ounces. The little Burrillville bird
fought gamely. but the Woonsocket bird
was too big for him, and won the battle
after three minutes OF fighting.
The next battle was between cocks
weighing pounds and ounces each. and
was won by the Burrillvile bird after
five minutes OF lighting. The next battle
was also won by Burrillville, and was be-
tween cocks Weighing pounds and 8
ounces each This was the best battle of
the main. Both birds were about evenly
matched, and until the last minute of
fighting, which lasted 10 minutes. neither
bird appeared to have the advantage.
During the last minute, however. the Bur-
rillville bird continually spurred the
Woonsocket cock and won the battle.
This was the last battle OF the main.
Three scrub battles were also held, In
which Burrllvile and Whitinsville birds
took part. Burrillville won the first,
whitinsville the second and third. 1t was
nearly noon when the sports started for
home. drenched TO the skin but happy.
The main was for SIS a side and there
was considerable betting.

BET BOXES Of BALLS
But BAR bOOKES

The executive committee OF the Nation
al Lawn Tennis association has started
a crusade against betting on the matches
played under the auspices OF the associa-
ton and will do everything possible to
put a stop to the practice.
There was so much better during the
last season that before the beginning OF
this years schedule the executive COM
mittee caused the edict to be promulga-
ted that IL would not countenance the
practice OF betting. This was because 1t
jeopardiZed the true amateur status of
players, as has been observed by the
Amateur Athletic union and had on sew
eral occasions I'm the past led to unpleas-
ant scenes upon the courts, as men who
had pecuniary interest in the match In
progress had attempted TO distract the
attention OF the competitors.
Keen rivalry among a number OF the
leading players in the first tournaments
on the national schedule to be decided
has led to the obnoxipus practice reaching
high-water mark thus early In the year.
1t is no secret that on the final of one of
the tournaments player lost very con-
siderate sum, and the number OF what
may be regarded as reversals of form has
caused n large amount of money in the
aggregate to change hands.
Rrom within the executive committee IL
Is said that the matter will be summarily
dealt with as soon as the important re.
tails OF the international team are all
satisfactorily settled. The fact that regu-
lar bookmakers follow the English and
European tournaments with regularly
adjusted states is not taken as an ex-
cuse for establishing anything like a SIM
liar custom I'm this country.
Here the majority OF the players regard
the practice as detrimental to the game.
as they are jealous OF the high place Il
has held In being free from professional
talnt and a sport in which the highest
type OF amateur good-sportsmanship has
heretofore been pre-emnent.
II is certain that the powers of the gov
ernlng body will be directed quietly to-
ward abolishing betting except In the
most subdued and gentbemanly forms
such as the wager of a box OF balls upon
the outcome. for instance-and that IL
will cease to be a matter of contention at
coming tournaments of the season.
