HOMING PIGEON
FEDERATION FORMED

The latest and by far the largest con-
course flying association OF the United
States was formally launched in Balti-
more the past week. Fourteen hyin.
clubs, composed of upward OF two hun
dred fanciers constitute the Southern
Federation of the Atlantic combine.
The officers elected to direct the new
organization were chosen by reason of
their especial fitness and consist OF the
following: Mr.. ID. c. Buscall OF the
Washington district, secretary of the At
lantic combine. and who has been iden-
titled with all leading movements IA
pigeon flying, president: Mr.. l.. q. Nun
Ter. secretary of the AmericuS Club of
Baltimore. the strongest independent dy-
ing organization in America vice presi-
dent; Mr.. c. w. Calls, the hustler OF
Baltimore and treasurer II the Atlantic
combine, secretary. and Mr.. George r..
Obrecht. who has always succeeded in
building up every organization with which
he has peen identiled, treasurer.
The meeting was the direct result of the
untiring efforts of Baltimore'S most re-
spected fancier Mr. {. w. Calls. and the
large outpour of fanciers attending tho
meeting was an Indication OF the high tS-
TEEN in which he rs held. SiXty-two gen
tlemen repre- senting the following districts
participated in the discussion: Washing
ton, Americus, Imperial. Feds Point. Fed
eral Hill, Blue Bell, Paterson. Hampden.
Belmont. Greater Baltimore, OriCle, Calu-
met Old Glory and Maryland.
The scope of the new organization is
a very wide one and is the outcome of the
recent Atlantic combine, which proposes
national races for the richest prizes ever
offered homing pigeon races, and for
which will compete the modern fanciers
of all the large cities in the east. 1t is
the purpose of the Southern Federation
to charter baggage cars for the trans
portation of its pigeons, which cars can
be run into siding at liberating points,
thus eliminating the rough handling which
is necessary where express trains have a
limited time to dispatch their freight.
Competent convoyeurs will accompany all
pigeons. which, by reason of the larS,
number of pigeons engaged. will reduce
the expenses of former seasons at least
20 per cent. Besides the ory of winning
in such strong competition, valuable
prizes will be awarded the winning pig
cons.
At present the districts represent n
membership of about two hundred fam
ciers but before the season pens in May
there will be many applicants who Will
want to become affiliated with an up-t
date organization.
AS in the past. the Washington Fedora
ton is behind this progressive movement

NEW YORK. December 27.-Further

Furthermore, the father Of the race is

Carlisle's Newest Athletic Find.
The splendid running of Louis Tewan-
ami of the Carlisle Indian School. on bot n
indoor and outdoor tracks. is bearing out
the truth of the statement by Trainer NJ
c. Murphy that this little Indian had the
making of one of the best distance rum
ners in this country. Tewanam is better
at distances above ten miles than below
He went with the American Olympic team
as five-mile runner but Trainer Murphy
started him to work AT the Marathon dis
| tance, and In the incredible short time OF
three weeks he was able to finish ninth
in the greatest Marathon ever run.
In many respects Tewanami is marvel.
He Is very slight OF build weighing less
than 10 pounds, and standing only > feet
inches in height. He belongs 10 the Hopi
tribe. and when he went with the Olympic
team he was unable to speak more than
dozen words of English. and has not
improved very much in this respect since
then. He has the high cheekbones and
the copper skin of the aboriginal savage,
which prompted President Roosevelt TO
hail him the only fullblooded American
on the American team when the athletes
were received at Oyster Bay last Septem
ber. Trainer Murphy declares that Te-
wanami could beat all of the Marat hon
runners of the present day if he devoted
all his time to running.
