THE COLONY PLAN.

There are some who do not under
stand just what is meant by the Co
lony plan of housing poultry. 1t is
this: A munger of houses, placed at
certain distances apart, without di-
vision fences; each house to hold
the poultry Of the same age, or
size
Large, stationary houses, or small
movable ones may be used. The lat
ter are preferable fer many reasons.
Many have success in building the
colony houses six by eight feet, height
in front six feet six inches, height in
back one foot less; two runners OF
AKA stuff are under the buildings,
thus rendering the moving, with a
good team, an easy matter. SUCH
houses cost about $14 for material,
at the Nrice it is here at present, and
a good days work for two men.
The east, west and north are all
interlined with lining felt; the roof
is made of some of the many coed
kinds, thus shutting out all drafts.
The south side has a door, and
also a large opening, or window,
closed with poultry netting only; as
the roof projects over foot or IA
inches no cloth curtain is used
This will insure good ventilation
without drafts; curtain could cas-
lily be added for use during very
stormy weather
There is room enough in such a
house for Is or 16 of the medium
sized breed fowls. The ease with
which such houses can be moved
will result in frequent removals, and
this is as fine for the hens house as
for the chick coop.-Indiana Farmer.

There will be little mourning by Los
Ahsoies patrons of the sport when
they learn this news. Those who are
unselfishly interested in the welfare
of the sport are anxious that nothing
be done that might tend to embarrass
the natural working out of the saliva
tion OF racing in this state along newer
and better lines. That this can be done
only by concerted and determined ac-
tion of the governing turf body in
this territory is recognized as true.
To attempt to divide forces at this
time would invite opposition from all
quarters and prevent a Capitalization
Of forces that are fighting to re-estab-
lish the sport upon an improved, more
basis than in the past. Mr.. Williams,
who built up the sport in the west
from nothing and who has spent many
thousands of dollars in doing so, is
at the helm al EmeryVille and is di-
recting the conduct of the sport along
lines that he believes will meet with
popular approval of the new methods
or at least minimize all opposition.
The sport in California has been
thoroughly divorced from the gambling
feature, and. while the patrons can
not be wholly prevented from some
sort of speculation, the betting end
of the game is reduced to a mere in
cident and is being held in proper
check at all times. The season at
Emeryville is far along toward the
date of closing a originally set, but
the gradual increase in attendance at
the races seems to indicate that the

Beaten

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 3.-The
fastest running that has been seen at
Moncrief park since the opening of the
meet came this afternoon when Rialto,
with little King in the saddle, went
seven furlongs in 1926 9-5. Pantoufe
was the heavily played favorite in this
event, but a close second to Rialto
was the best she could do. Toll Box
was the only favorite to win, and the
books finished the day as winners.
Summary:
First race SIX furlongs-Gypsy Girl won,
zymole second. Marlin May third. Time,
1:16 1-5.
Second race. five and a half furlongs-
Toll Box won, Select second, Mary Candle
mas third. Time. 1908 1-5.

people eventually will recognize the
vast improvement and will become
more tolerant.
Providing that the sport can sur
Vive the present season and go on
successfully through the extended sea-
son. there will be no doubt left re-
garding the future of racing In Cali
fornia. Next winter both tracks will
be opened at the usual time and will
run through the usual season. But, as
yet, the new methods are not fully
tested and the future is uncertain.
Mr.. Williams and his associates in
the conduct of the sport in California
firmly believe that the new order of
things will be accepted by the people
and that racing will become re-es-
tablished upon a permanent and highly
satisfactory basis.
Elimination of bookmaking may
prove the saving grace of the sport
1t is this feature of the sport that has
called down all opposition in the var
ioUs states where racing practically
has been outlaWed. Racing as a sport
is not objected to, but the wide-open
gambling conducted by the ring at
the various tracks proved offensive
and eventually strengthened the op-
position until it threatened to wipe
out the sport itself. That racing can
survive the death of bookmaking meth
DDS testifies strongly to its popularity
as sport with the people. Bookmak-
ing is a thing of the past in California
and the sp It will be cleaner and more
enjoyable, If not more popular than
ever by reason thereof

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 3.-Eddie
Van Week, Yale pitcher of last years
team, may be suspended by -: e ma
tional baseball commission on a pecu-
liar ruling. Last summer he pitched
a game for the Waterbury, team of the
Connecticut State league. Tile refused
to sign a contract. Now Manager Du-

can be suspended, because after taking
money for playing game he refused
to sign a contract. Van Week has re-
ceived offers to join big league clubs,
but has heretofore declined them. He
pitched the game at Waterbury to
help out that team when 1t was Grip

TO GIVING UP JOB

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-William ].
Murray, deposed manager of the Phila-
delphia National league baseball club.
and Horace Fogel. new president of
that organization, failed to agree TODAY
on terms on which Murray would sur
render his contract with the club,
This contract, made by former own
ers Of the club, calls for the payment of
$1,000 a year to Murray and has two
years to run. The new owners of the
club are anxious to install another
manager, and they offered Murray $4,000
to resign without litigation This MUIR
ray refused to do, and said he would
put his case in the hands of the Ma
tional commission.
Another meeting will be held tomor-
row, at which counsel representing the
new owners and the former owners will
discuss the legal aspects of the case.
Besides the $4,000 Murray claims on
contract, the club owes him $500 on
last years salary.

NURTIS BERNARD, the crack out
fielder of the Angel club for sew
~ eral seasons, attached his sigma
ture to a contract yesterday to play
out the entire season of 1910 with Hen
Berry's candidates for the pennant
This is great news for the army Of
cranks who support the game in Los
Angeles, as Bernie is most reliable
fielder and a dependable hitter. He
will be placed in right field instead of
at center, in all probability, as that
is the position Cap Dillon has selected
for him. Bernard will be a material
strength to the Angel band during the
certain hard fight of the season of 1910.
Happy Hogan was much wrought up
yesterday because Cap Dillon and Hen
Berry merely smiled when he wanted
to make a trade of players sight
unseen with them. Hap wanted to
name the Angel player, probably haY-
ing Dillon or Jud Smith in mind, and
would not divulge the name of the
wonder he proposed to use in ex-
change. He says that Berry will be
sore the remainder of his life when
he finds that the rejected player de-
veIops into a world beater.
Tom Stevens is threatening to kick
up a row in the event that Berry car
ries out his avowed intention of trad
ing him to Danny Long for Jack Glea-
son. Stevens says he does not pro-
pose to be traded and threatens to
jump his contract and quit organized
baseball if the deal goes through.
Berry is determined to get rid of him,
however, and insists that Tom must
accept the inevitable or take the con-
sequences of being forced to quit play
ing ball.
Bill Pickens, handsome and other
wise famous as the manager of Barney
Oldfeld-the man, not the horse
claims to have put in 500 worth of
drink checks in the lottery that Jack
Ripper is operating and has failed to
draw out anything. So he and Ripper
discussed it yesterday. and some one
overheard Pickens say something
about bunk" Now Kip and Pick go
by each other like they were in a deep
study.
Optimism is at high tide in metro
poitan turf circles these days as re-
suit of the successes of last season
under adverse conditions, and dis
patches tell of plans that are in the
making for materially increasing the
purses and stakes at the various New
York courses next season. Close to
81 900 900 will be paid out to hOrsemen
in the seven months of racing in that
vicinity. Nearly all of the established

MINOR LEAGUES
ARE OVERRULED
DENIED PROTECTION FROM
DRAFT RULE
National Commission Reiterates Claim
That Justice Is Being Done to
All Clubs In Organized
Baseball
Associated Pressl

CINCINNATI, Jan. Sin a decis-
ion reached today by Thomas }.
Lynch. president of the National
league, Ban B. Johnson, president of
the American league, and August
Hermann of Cincinnati, comprising
the national baseball commission, the
latter body tonight denied the request
of class c and D leagues for an
amendment to the rule concerning the
purchase of minor league players.
The attention of the commission was
called TO the case by j. II. Farrell, sec
retary of the National association,
who submitted a resolution offered at
the recent meeting held at Memphis
by the class c and d leagues request
ing that rule SO be amended so that
minor league players can be pur-
chased by one minor league club from
another without having such players
report to the purchasing club on or be-
fore the commencement If the major
league drafting season.
As the rule now stands when minor
league players are purchased by one
minor. league club from another and
they do not report by September l
they are subject to draft from the
clubs that they are with on August 20.
The commission in its ruling says:
1--WE reiterate that if the rule were
changed so as to cover the request as
now made it would be detrimental not
only to the major leagues and class A
clubs but to all players as WELL"
The statement recently issued by the
national commission shows the
amounts expended by major league
clubs alone last year for drafted and
= ala 10 oh
and in addition to this if all the play
ers in question are to be retained pay
ments amounting to practically $64 ,00C
additional are made. This shows that
the minor league interests have been
fully protected.

REALTO GOSSIP

stakes like the Suburban, Metropoli-
tan, Brighton handicaps, Futurity
stakes and Lawrence Realization
stakes Will carry greatly increased
net values as compared with the same
values in 1909, and overnight events
will be increased in value. A newer
and better order of things seems to
be the result of the anti-raclng legisla7
tion in that state.
Bat Nelson, Jack Johnson, Able At
tell and owen Moran seem to have
opened a campaign of education in
pugilistic affairs-a night school, as it
were-and are picking off the easy
marks and letting the dangerous in
dividuals severely alone. Fighting dubs
is not calculated to create much ex-
citement in the fight world, nor will 1t
bring in much big money, but it has
its advantages in that the top-notcher
is taking little or no chance Of losing
and is able to live on a bed Of roses
without much effort. When it comes
to fighting real fighter that is an
other question.
Quite an improvement was made yes
terday in the card for Friday night at
Maud Junction. The bout between
Marty Kane and frankie Harris was
by Kane and a six-round duel between
Jack Tippetts and Artie Collins was
substituted. Hobo Dougherty and Kid
Troubles met and agreed to fight at
catch weights, as Troubles found it
difficult to make weight, and they will
enter the ring close to the lightweight
limit, thus assuring a better scrap.
The preliminary card Is unbeatable.
There is no chance on earth to deny
that the Pacific Jockey club and the
Utah Jockey club would make a ten
strike in selecting Col. A. W. Hamilton
as presiding judge at the race meetings
to be held in Salt Lake City next sea-
son. And it would not be a bad scheme
to send Martin Nathanson along with
him. These men are known all over
the continent as men of highest quail
fications, strictest integrity and as pos
sessing the absolute confidence of
horsemen and the general public. With
this pair in control Salt Lake City peo-
pie would see some excellent racing
and could pay some attention to form.
Col. Hamilton is as famous as break
er of combinations as a certain states
man is as a ust-buster 1t would be
the greatest favor that the Pacific
interests in the intermountain region if
it would insist that this pair of Of
ficials should serve at all licensed meet
ings in that territory. That territory
is the best for summer racing in the
jurisdiction of the Pacific Jockey club,
and should be carefully nursed.

luIntQ the WIlQSI IIlUdy night.
One is at a loss to answer such an
argument. 1t may be said that VOL
CAST is a vastly improved fighter since
his meeting with Memsic, but the re-
tort that Memsic also may have i'm
proved at the same rate readily stumps
the Wolgast partisans. And why not?
True, Memsic went back, and he stayed
back for nearly two years before he
began to climb up the ladder In all
his recent bouts he has shown steady
Improvement, and one only has to take
a squint at him in training to become
convinced that he viii be in perfect
condition and high in spirits when he
trots out to raise his hands and mix
1t with his old-time enemy.
Memsic has not overlooked a single
bet in his training this time. He took
an early start and has been working
consistently and Systematically. He
has not overworked, nor has he loafed,
but he has plodded along for quite a
long time in gradual preparation, and
is about ready to knock off training
and say, Il am ready"
Confidence Has Returned
For some time he has lacked conf
dence in himself, caused by undeserYed
defeats and reverses, but now all Is
different with him and he sees a most
alluring prospect ahead Of him. He
can get back on top of the heap and
rank with the topnotchers if he can
trim Wolgast, and that is the task
upon which he has set his whole heart.
Returning confidence, perfect condition,
all his punching ability back on duty
and the opportunity of a lifetime before
him is sufficient incentive to him.
Wolgast is not worrying in the least,
however. He says he is much better
now than when he met Memsic few
months ago, and that he is stronger
and heavier, and will be ready to fight
for his life. He does not believe Mem
sic is as good as he was then, and
does not care much, to judge from his
conversation. He feels that he is not
taking any extraordinary risk of los
ing prestige in this fight, but will not
go into the ring expecting a walkover
victory. He, tCo, will be fit and ready
Anyway the fight goes it at least will
be worth seeing, and Wolgast will
