25.OOO TURKEYS

Chicago, Nov. 19. Fifty car loads of turkeys, one million pounds, valued at $235, GOO.
 This is the chief item in Chica- go's order for her Thanksgiving dinner and for that item alone she will spend $40, GOO more than last year. Aside from the turkeys there will be an abun dance of domestic chickens, ducks and geese, and about as large quantity of prairie chickens, mallards, quail and cartridges and a profusion of bear meat and venison, besides the usual beef, pork and mutton, all of which will cost anywhere from 20 to 50 per cent more than last season. Conservative estl- mates made along South Water Street are that fully $1, ,O0O, 900 will be spent in Thanksgiving feasting, and there are many well-posted merchants who be- lieve that even that figure will be exceeded.

 Here is proof that the modern up start of turkey was already rivaling in favor the classic capon with the British farmer.
 The Jesuits long were credited with having introduced the turkey into France from Spain. This may ac- count for the lifelong animosity to the Jesuits of the great critic Boileau of Louis XIVs time. For Boileau, as child, fell one day in his fathers barnyard, and before he could pick himself up was so severely bitten by two old turkey cocks that he suffered from the effects for many years aft erward What more natural than that he should hate the Jesuits2
 The first official mention of our na- tional bird in Italy is in 1557, when the magistrates of Venice, in an ordi- nance to suppress luxury, forbade it's presence at any tables but those of the clergy, the nobility and their own. In 1870 Bartollomeo Seappi, chief cook to Pope Plus V, gave in his cookery book several recipes for roasting tur- keys and dressing them with chest nuts and garlic which have not been improved upon to this day-in Italy, at least.
 l. F. D. Smythe, who wrote in i7St q Tour of the United States of Amer ica declared that in the unsettled country back of Virginia he saw wild turkey floeks of more than 5000; while in the woods of Pennsylvania they were so numerous that their eggs were easily found by the farmers children and carried off to be placed under setting hens. No doubt tur keys were abundant enough within gunshot of the Plymouth settlement. and for this very reason would have formed, even had they been less dell cious in flavor, the piece de resist- ance of that first Thanksgiving feast with which ever since they have been inseparably connected

The New York Mail of Saturdays S issue says that Red" Waller has been the sensation of the practice of the New York Giants at Dallas. Tex, for the last few days. The following is a clipping from that paper: Waller, since he came down here with Me Graw, has been practising the spit ball. Raymond has coached him right along, and yesterday he was about ready to show what he could do with the damp ball. McGraw watched him hurl the ball for half an hour and nearly every ball pitched hit the bulls eye. This morning he took his place in the box again. and pitched to the batters. Few of the sluggers could hit the ball safely. only hope that boy morning. The spit ball is a great thing when you can control it. But I am not going to bank too much on this fellow. I want to see more of him be- fore we can trust him against some of the big fellows
 Catcher Tom Needham of the St. Paul club of the American association has been traded by Manager Chance of the Chicago Cubs for Fred w. L1eise and cash consideration. Needham was with the New York Nationals last season having been traded to that team from the Boston Nationals in 1907 with Bridwel1 and Penney for Bower man, McGann and a number of other players. The trade means that Chance has decided to let his famous catcher, Kling stay away if he wishes to. Need ham will give the champion their third experienced catcher.

Anderson won his by cunning the A mile on the track in 62 seconds flat. and again by running the mile in 5 minutes and B 1-5 seconds. Kelley won his "B' the first time by running the mile in the record time of min utes and 20 Is seconds and again by winning the 4 mile potato race in the dual meet held in Stamford. His time was 1 minute and 42 seconds. Me Clellan and Harry Batchelor both won their "B's' at Stamford in the potato race, doing the F mile in less than the

 There is a biz lot of interest af1oat in the meet to be held Friday n ght as in the meet held in Stamford the local association lost to the Stamford team by points. The members of the local team however, feel that they can trim the Stamford team even to the tune of g points which will be neces- sary in order for them to win the team trophy. Silver medals are offered as prizes to winners of first place and bronze medals to winners of second place. The team trophy is a solid sil- yer cup, gold lined. The team scoring the highest number of points in two meets wins the cup. The score thus far is Stamford 261s points, Bridgeport 1872 points.

The curtain rang down on the Ma tional Polo league Saturday night with the Providence "Grays'' on the top of the pile. The race from the start has been one of the most exciting in the history of polo. Towards the end when the league banned out to six clubs, and the players were more evenly divided it was anybody's race, the positions changing every evening. worcester $ climb from sixth to second place was most remarkable.
 The season started Oct 19, 1908, with ten clubs represented, New Haven, Fawtucket. Providence, Brockton, Salem, Worcester, Hartford, New B it ain, Fall River and Bridgeport About two weeks after the start, the Hartford club showed signs of weakening and its star players were sod to Worcester. About the same time the Salem players were distributed among the MaSSachu- setts teams. Things went along smooth ly until the Massachusetts managers began their underhand work. New Britain was the first to Succumb, Man ager Hanna selling his team to New Bedford interests. Towards the middle of December, the situation in this city in regard to the management attract ed the attention of the league direc- tors
 They sent Bill Hanna, who was then out of a job to see if matters could be strengthened out. Hanna did his best to retain polo here, but the interests in Massachusetts along with the fol- lowing attendances compelled the team to get out. Bridgeport withdrew "s it was supposed to Lawrence. New Ha- ven being the surviving Nutmegger took sail and landed in Lynn. A tight little circuit was looked forward to with in- tereSt by local fans, whose heart was now with the Lawrence club. as the towns were punched on the map. ana the rivalry between each was intense. |. A bomb was thrown however. when it was announced that the Lawrence team was to be disbanded and it's players distributed about the league. The experts all over the league picked the Lawrence team as the pennant winner, as her playing was the best of any in the circuit. Lewis went to Providence, Roberts to Lynn, Canavan to New Bedford, Carrigan to Paw tucket and Harper to Fall River Things went on this way for while until the Lynn team became hard pressed for accommodations, and could
 At the suggestion of its management it was disbanded and its players dis trituted to the other clubs as had been done with the Lawrence-Br dgeport players. A number of good men were thrown out of positions by the con- stant changes until the best were re- tained. The constant grind has told on some of the players as they have become very nervous and at times have completely lost their heads, as the constant scraps of last week will testify. The teams finished with the following players:
 Providence-Lewis, McGilvray, Men ard. Hardy Mallory and Curtis.
 New Bedford-Duggan. HarkinS Jean, Ho1derness, Sutton and Roberts
