Newest Thing I'm Ducks.

The newest thing In ducks Is the
Khaki, the producing duck OF
England. Whether they are more
valuable than the Indian Runner in
this respect remains to be seen; 1t Is
asserted that the Khaki duck usually
lays more eggs than a good hen, its
average being over 200 year. This
duck Is In great demand for utility
purposes. and has a very pleasing ap-
pearance. 1t was evolved from q fine
Rouen drake and a large Indian Run
ner duck, to which was added wild
duck blood to give flavor and hardi-
ness. Ducklings can be hatched every
month in the year, and no matter in
what month they come they can be
relied upon to begin laying at Ave
months old: at least this Is the as
sertion Of Feathered Life the Eng
lish paper. In carriage and general
appearance. this variety resembles
the Rouen. The color, as indicated
by the name, Is a yellowinsh fawn,
the neck Of the drake, wings and tail
marked In imitation Of the Rouen.
When first produced it was known as
the Campbell. The females are
marked rather indistinctly in the
piumage, like the Rouen females.
Entirely too many OF the so.called
Indian Runners that We have in this
country. which carry this style of
marking in the plumage Of the fe-
male. are probably more or less
crossed with this variety. The Khaki
are In great demand at present in
england. and very high prices are
asked Tor them. We imagine that
many OF our Indian Runners OF the
Rouen type are Of this same blood

Develop a Derby Winner. x
New York Times.
The third victory of filly for the
double event Of Derby and the Oaks.
at EPSON Downs, in the 12s years
OF the two famous English races, by
Signorinetta, has brought into singu-
lar prominence the eccentric Italian
turfman who owns the heroine Of the
two great events, the Chevalier e.
Ginistrelli. The owner is an elderly
man, who first took an active part fn,
English racing affairs a trife more
than 20 years ago. He then was a.
man Of moderate wealth, but his turf
ventures. which were directed almost.
excessively to efforts to win the classs
ic events Of the turf, soon exhausted
great part of his fortune and
though he retained an estate in Italy.
he made his home at Newmarket.
England, for about eight months
each year. and gave about all his at
tention to a tiny breeding establish
ment which he maintained in tho
town itself.
The chevalier's farm comprises
about ten acres Of land and is very
modestly equipped with buildings.
There, however with four or nva
mares he has bred on. year after
year. trying to produce a Derby or
Oaks winner, undaunted by the fiat
failures which came to him for 50
long a period. OF necessity he had
to conduct his breeding operations
ON as cheap q scale as possible and

stan of superannuated grooms, ana

THE STATE LEAGUE AVERAGES
Ihe Secretary Has Had Great Deal or
trouble in Getting the Scorers to

AHc Secretary Has Had Great Deal Of
Trouble in Getting the Scorers to
Report.
The fielding and batting of the
players Of the South Carolina State
league are in danger Of never being
known unless scorers at several of
the four towns hurry and send in
reports now month overdue.
1t Is the rule in the State league for
omcial scorers to file tabulated score
sheets with the secretary of the
league Immediately after each series.
secretary Houseab says that there
has nothing come to him from the
ROCK Hill scorer. and, officially, he
doesn't know whether or not the team
Is actually playing ball, or in the
league, for that matter. He has writ
ten to most every one whose name
appears on that baseball clubs let
ter head, but 80 far has not received
a reply. The league has been in prog
ress good long while now, and the
only games reported that were PLAYED
at Rock Hill were those Of the OPEN
ing series, which the Chester scorer.
who happened to be on the Rock Hill
lots. was kind enough to report to the
secretary. Orangeburg has also been
exceedingly lax. The club has had
three scorers, at least. The first man
turned In his work all right, the
middle man" hasn't sent anything,
while the man now in charge is
filing his reports and promises to
aid the secretary in getting those
missing.
The scorers at Sumter and Chester
deserve much credit for their prompt
and accurate reports and had the
scorers Of the other clubs done half
as well the secretary's books would
be IN excellent shape. 1t was the in
tention Of the secretary to publish
averages every two weeks, but as the
score sheets haven't been filed, this
has been impossible.
This Is a matter which the clubs
officials should not look lightly upon.
If club wants to sell a player it
must have the players average, as
baseball magnates have stopped
swapping or buying "sight on seen."
The secretary is anxious to have the
averages kept accurately but right
now Is In terrible plight. It has
been suggested that the offending
clubs be fined. This might help mat
ters.
After the above had been put in
type. the State was Informed by
Secretary Houseal that he had re-
ceived a letter from a Rock Hill off,
cial yesterday In which he stated in
reference to the Rock Hill scorer that
"up to the present time we have had
none although one Of our local
men has been keeping score for US
not give you the scores as asked, but
we will endeavor to do so as early as
possible"
The secretary says he feels quite
sure that the Rock Hill officials will
do all they can to get the score sheets,
but the matter only shows that the
clubs are so wrought up in winning
games that they seem to forget about
the business end Of the situation.
Sentiment seems to have gotten the
best Of them.
Anyway, it looks like It's going to
be q long time before any averages
can be issued. much to the regret of
the secretary and the hundreds Of
baseball fans who are watching the
doings Of the State league.-The
