FEEDING CHICKS.
Foods Which Should Supplement thS
Prepared Foods.

TVoos WhlCh Shoulo supplement the
Prepared Foods.
The chicken business has been re-
lieved of much of its drudgery by the
Introduction of the dry feeding method.
Formerly every poultryman or poultry
woman had a method of his or her own
and some of the bills of fare were
about as elaborate as those of the
Waldorf-Astoria. Now all is changed
The poultryman throws in a few hand
fuls Of chick feed four or five times q
day, and the chicks do the rest Bui
there is room for a few suggestions
even here. Chicks need vegetables to
balance the grains OF which the chick
feed Is composed. A blood beet cut In
Two or a mangel will be eagerly at.

ed A handful Of fresh beef scrans
scattered over the floor once a dav
VIII be found and devoured. It Is a
good rule never to give little chicks
more chick feed or cracked corn at n
time than they will eat up clean.
l find It good plan after the chicks
are two weeks old to keep before them
all the time a mixture made ID as
follows: Bran, two parts; clover meal
TWO parts; bone meal, one part; a little
salt and little charcoal. This is fed
dry and is in addition to the chick feed
ana vegetables. I ought also to add
that l keep clean cool water before nv
chicks from the very start.
l am In no hurry to get nv chicks
out on the ground unless the weather
Is exceptionally fine, for I feel that
they are safer and better in a house
In one Of the little houses such as !
build, with open front and with the
moor Uttered an inch deep with clean
sea sand, chicks are safer and better
on than they are anywhere else They

compartment of the hopper is a dry

ANDY SMITH A GOOD ONE.
Gives Joe Turner a Hard Tussle or
the Mat.

Shouts Of "Hold him, joe" were fire.
Quent and Joe held him one time for
about ten minutes, but the much "touted'
youngster from Baltimore, Andy Smith.
with a squirm and a twist, would regain
a good position In his bout with Joe
Turner. the champion welterweight Of
this city, last night at Odd Fellows Hall,
until one hour and thirteen minutes had
elapsed, when the local favorite secured
crotch hold and downed his opponent
for the first and only time of the meet.
1t was agreed upon that the best two
out of three falls would decide the winner.
and If the bout was still on at IL o'clock
tn, man with a fall or points was to
count. For a time 1t appeared as though
the first attempt would not result in a
fall, but Turner threw q surprise into the
big crowd present by getting the Balti-
morean's feet off the mat and his head
where his feet ought to be. and after put
ting his entire weight upon him was pat
ted on the back by the referee, Mr. Pat
O'Connor.
The second bout was resumed at II AZ
and at midnight the match was called off
, with Turner working like fiend to ge;
hold.
Two of the best little preliminar,
matches seen on local mat for long
time were on the c,rd which kept the
| crowd we'll interested and far from
Sunderland. Frye King and Bonnie
Burns were the first to clash, tugging eacf
other for about fifteen minutes without
either scoring a fall, and Referee Conway
| declared the bout a draw. Burns was or
| the aggressive. but failed to get his mar
in a serious position. Another bout wa:
between Jack Spaulding and Nick Ross
and the work put up by these young crap
piers proved to be what those present
| desired. They also went the limit o
| fifteen minutes without fall and another
draw was the decision. Ross had abou
| fifteen pounds on Spauldmg, and this
| fact aided him considerably in getting
his opponent in several tight places. auG
it was in these instances of the bout tina
Spaulding showed up the better.

The consen OF opinion Of these old

batsman equal to Fox. and the doings

were others equally as renowned in their
playing as Fox was with the bat.
Take. for instance. the case Of Billy
Williams. the pitcher. whose mastery

BILLY" Williams was a Washington boy

his life. He was a pupil in the old

school Billy first attracted attention. as a
pitcher because of the peculiar swing he
gave his arm in it's delivery, and the

LOCAL REGATTA PROSPECTS
PHILADELPHIA MAY GET THE
MIDDLE STATES EVENT.

Two important meetings will take place
in New York in the early part of March
that are of vital interest to the rowing
men of this vicinity and especially the
Potomac Boat Club
The first will be the meeting of the
National Association of Amateur Oars
men, which will decide on the place and
time for holding the national champion
ship races, and that decision Is of inn
portance here, as 1t is probable the Po-
tomacs will send out crew looking for
national honors similar to the one that
gained fame at the national Of 1907.
The impression among the critics is that
the regatta this year will be held on
the Seekont river. near Providence. r. l.,
though the people of this vicinity are
more eager to see it go either to Sara
transport boats to Providence. and the
accommodations are of the scantiest char
acter. The selection Of Providence means.
Of course. that the list of entries will be
that the National Association will jeop-
ardize its finances so much by going
there. It is a long trip for the clubs of
this city, and it is doubtful if any of the
locals could afford the heavy expense en-
tailed unless they raised the money out
side of the regular channels.
The other meeting is that Of the Middle
States Association. which will decide
where the Labor day regatta will be held.
Washington Is an active bidder for the
honor of having this regatta. Several
months ago it looked as if it were certain
that Washington would get the regatta.
but lately the people backing the Schuyl-
kill Navy have begun movement looking
forward to capturing the prize, and their
zeal in such matters may Offset the Poto-
mac river claims for the regatta.
The Schuylkill Navy has vote In the
Middle States Association Of thirteen
clubs, and this Is very potent factor in
deciding the question-that is, if the clubs
make a fight ito secure the race for the
Schuy,kill river. or course, all the Poto-
mac river has in it's favor is the popu-
larity of the Potomac Boat Club as a
host and the magnificent stretch of wate-
for racing purposes. Against this strong
array the Potomacs will fight, as they
have always fought, until the last, and
will not admit defeat until all the votes
are cast.
Should the regatta go to the Schuylkill
it is within the probability that the Poto-
macs will hold open regatta SONS
time toward the latter part of September
They would not desire to hold 1t earlier,
as it would compete with the National
and Middle States, but are sanguine they
could make a success of it in September.

speed with which he sent the ball across
the home base.
Up to the year 1896 the pitchers of the
! many teams served the ball up to the
| batsman in about the same way. a
straight swing of the arm almost paral-
| lei with the body. but in the case OF
"Riliy" Williams 1t was entirely different.
| He was the first to use what was then
called the underhand throw.
His style was in distinct contrast with
that of Creighton. the famous twirler OF
the Gothams OF New York and Dick Nc
Bride OF the Athletics of Philadelphia, bu I:
10 the credit Of the latter 1t must be said
he stayed in the game longer than VII
liams. and became famous as one OF the
.ater day pitchers
But Williams style was so radical in
north objected to the style as against al!
rules and presidents, but luckily the Ma
tionals had as their official head scorer
Harvey Munson. and being a first-c ass
lawyer, Munson always proved that WI
liams' pitching was well within the rules.
In the famous trip opening up the west
to the base ball people of the east the
National club depended on Billy Will
credit be 1t said he not only pitched every
winning game, but In every contest he did
lions share to win each by his good bat
ting. Next to- Fox and George Wright.
Williams wasvthe star batsman of the
team
The achievement that made Williams IA
nous in the north was the game he
pitched in 1866 against the champions OF
that time-the Unions of Lansingburg-the
game going e.even innings and the Ma
tomas winning by score of 81 to %. In
those days 1t was rare for game to go
over nine innings. but to play eleven and
win was an achievement Of more than
passing interest, and this victory was re-
ported all over the country as a wonder
full exhibition Of pitching by Williams.
HIS speed was terrific, so terrific that In
describing the ball pitched by him the
Sentinel Of indianapolis. Ind. said: 60
ing straight over the plate, it neral y
traversed sixty feet before striking the
ground the first time" His accuracy was
something phenomenal. and seldom did
he have nine balls called on him. hence
few of his opponents ever walked to first
base.
He was really the mainstay of the old
Nationals in their palmiest day, for while
they could have managed without a Fox
a Wright or a Berthrong. in those days
they could not get along without Billy
Williams.
Billy Williams was a typical lover of
base ball. and up to the time of his death
he was a constant visitor to all of the
games played here, in later years being
a trusted clerk In the Treasury Depart
ment. He was the pioneer OF the under
hand system of pitching and had that
system down to perfect science, so much
so that Zettekein, PabOr, Brainard and
others followed his style in their work
OF later years.
