Where the Crime Was.

Hal Chase. the prince of first basemsn,
is one of the fashion plates of the league,
for the enormous salary which he receives
allows him to buy expensive fittings

salary way as the young Californian
The other day Hal purchased a Panama
hat. for which he gave $780, and when
Clarke Griffith heard about il he said:

Lord Byron as a Liar.
He had learned that class alone was not
enough to win fights. He haG depended
on his class to carry him through and in
many battles it did not fail despite mid
night hours and empty bottles Not until

Baltimore to fight Kid Sullivan. third

what old King Corn had done for ham.
Then. when his eyes were opened. the man
behind the bar waved a towel like a flag
of victory. He had cashed at last.

Nick AItrock's Explanation.

When the Chicago team was coming
east recently the boys were all dining in
their special car and were making great
inrOads on the Viands placed before them
until they came to the cheese, which was
of a Samson-like quality as to strength.
Doc White picked up a piece. and after
sampling it he said to Nick AltrOck, who

Niles turned to the worried McAleer and

Without question the greatest baseball
family in the country is the Delehanty
family. James Delehanty of Cleveland is
the father of more good players than any
man in the United States. Six Of his sons
have won fame on the diamond, four of
them in the big leagues.
Ed. Delehanty was the greatest of them
all. He was with the Philadelphia club in
the National league and was with the
home team in the American league. He
gained the reputation as one of the great
est batsmen who ever played baseball. He
died four years ago.
Joe Delehanty, perhaps, bears a more
striking resemblance to Ed. than any
other of his brothers. He has played with

From another athletic authority at
Yale IL was learned tonight that if Ok
ford and Cambridge will not come to this
country next year Yale and Harvard are
likely to go to England and meet Oxford

tional intercollegiate track meet will
take place at that time in London.

S|LER ON BURNS
SQU|RES FIGHT
The Match Was Generally De-
nounced on Account of
Tommy'S Taking.
BY GEORGE SILER.

Interest in the international heavy
weight championship fight between Bill
Squires, champion of Australia. and Tom
my Burns, the recognized champion OF
America, scheduled to take place at
Colma on Independence day, is increasing
as the date of the contest draws near.
Little or no stock was taken in the af-
fair when the match was arranged be-
cause Bill was not taken seriously as
a fighter and because of the part Burns
took in his last encounter with O'Brien-
The rank and file of pugilism and the
lovers of square sport in particular
thought Burns should have been ostra-
cized from the game instead of given the
chance to fight for the highest honor in
pugilism-
The match was generally denounced and
Jim Coffroth, who brought the men to
gether, was censured for so doing
Root for Squires.
Convinced that the fight was a fixture
and that, in the words of our old friend
Joe Vendig, the fight surely would take
place" those who at first were set against

ly began, and still are. roofing for the
Australian to win Not because they wish
to see the heavyweight championship
title packed and shipped to Australia but
because Burns has brought himself into
disfavor with the lovers of square sport.
And also, 1 might add. because Squires.
during his sojourn in the country, has
proven himself a man in all the word i'm
plies
Tommy, however is not half as bad as
he has been painted. True, he has been
accused OF trying to fix fights, but his
accusers also floundered in the mire. His
affair with Jack OBrien at Los An
geles left a dark brown taste in the
mouths OF the lovers of the game, but
they have partly forgiven the part he
took in it because it exposed Jack. There
is no doubt Burns thought he was acting

but the American public detest double

Los Angeles affair is still fresh in their
memory, and that is why he is shy of
rooters.
Should he beat Squires all will be for
given, and, in the vernaculer of the old
timers, he will be the 'white-haired
boy"

turkeys at the least expense and most
profit is to let them roam at will and
gather their living while on free range
and the bugs, insects, grass hoppers,
small seeds, ETC., are the natural feed
for the turkey and will produce
greater and faster growth than any
other feed that can be given. The fowl
that produces this wondrous growth is
full and would be total waste II not
gathered and consumed by theturkeys
and converted by them into bone, mus
Gle and a vigorous constitution to pre-
pare them for the fattening process
later on. AS this natural turkey food
costs nothing and does cause them to
grow and develop extremely fast, why
not grow the Mammoth Bronze-the
largest of all turkeys and receive an
amount in cash for them that would
be about double that for a correspond
ing number of the smaller Bronze?
1t pays handsome profit to feed and
fatten the Mammoth Bronze for the
Christmas and New Year trade. 1t
costs no more to make pound of gain
with them than with any other live
stock, and as the price per pound is
from two to four times greater than
for beef, mutton or pork it pays just
that much better to fatten them. Any
one that will raise a good quality OF
this large, noble breed, and will have
them in such a marketable condition
that they will grade as choice, will
find that they are the most paying
property on the farm.
