MARYLAND GAME COCKS
DEFEAT VIRGINIA BIRDS
Washingtonians Witness Sew
en- Matches in Pit Near
This City.

Maryland and Virginia game cocks en-
gagged in fierce battle for supremacy
at a roadhouse not many miles from this
city Thursday evening. and Old Sol was
peeping from behind the eastern hills
before the victory finally came TO the
Maryland birds. Physicians, lawyers and
business men from Washington We're in
terested spectators, and the main was
pronounced to be the best ever held in
the vicinity OF Washington. Nine fine
specimens Of game chickens were shown
on each side, seven matches being fought.
For the initial bout. Maryland display
ed dark gray and Virginia a brown
red. The Maryland bird was two ounces
lighter than his antagonist, and at al
most the first flight received a blow
across the back that uncoupled him. The
game cock never recovered, although he
fought until his spirit ''beat it, to chick
enland. The next bout was between q
pair of beautiful brown reds, each weigh
l.,g five pounds. The birds were evenly
matched regarding cleverness, and the
battle was fast and hard fought and
proved the best fight Of the main. The
MARYLAND bird was declared the victor
In the third round, Virginia had two
ounces the best Of the weight. Both
cocks were Of the red horse type, and
after short, fast fight the Virginia
cock won.
Virginia showed a high-comb cock in
the fourth session. This chicken had a
fine record for the number of fights won,
and he was called the great preacher
cock. The preacher had two ounces
the best of the weights. but despite these
conditions. the Maryland men seemed
willing to back their bird, and the betting
was lively. The Maryland bird rewarded
his hackers by knocking out his dis
tinguished rival after a long hard fight
For the fifth session, Maryland presented
dark blue hackle and Virginia a white
hackle. 1 his was brief scrap, and after
two minutes Of fast and furious fighting
The Maryland bird became possessed OF
stage fright and quit The manner in
which this fight opened indicated that it
was going to be a perfectly lovely" at
fair.
The sixth round brought out a pair of
handsome brown reds. and after twenty
minutes OF pretty fighting the Maryland
bird was declared the victor. At the end
Of this bout each side had won three
fights, and the interest in the next event
was at fever heat. Both sides were
OH the last and deciding fight. When the
handlers appeared In the pit with their
charges it was seen that both were
brown reds. 1t took twenty minutes to
decide this battle which was fast and
bloody while 1t lasted. The Maryland
bird outgeneraled his game opponent and
was declared the winner. Some Of the
Virginia sports were obliged to borrow
the price OF a breakfast, and some OF
them probably hiked it back to Washing

deals with people who, in a pinch, may
try any one OF these arguments. This
results in the cops" forming rough
manners which he is unfair enough 10
apply in cases where he ought 10 drop
them.
The other thing that I want to call at
tention to is this: The cop doing night
duty often breads to be compelled to
make an unimportant arrest. since in
many of our cities it involves his ap-
pearance against the prisoner in court
next day and the consequent disturbance
of his sleep. On this account, a night
cop frequently has feelings of utter
hate for the prisoner who has caused
him TO lose several hours of sleep. This
is an important point. Something ought
10 be done about 1t.
AS an illustration OF this point, let me
describe one of the strangest sights I
ever witnessed. Returning to my room
one morning at o'clock, I saw > cop
drag a drunken man across the street
and lay him down on lawn-very gently.
L was interested and awaited further de-
velopments- A little later another cop
dragged the drunken man back and laid
him again on the first cops" side of
the street A brief investigation brought
out the fact that each cop" was trying
TO plant the drunken man on the others
beat" And simply to avoid arresting
him and the consequent necessity OF get
ting out of bed 10 appear against him.
In various parts OF the United States
to-day sleepy cops" are lolling in court
rooms awaiting TO appear against last
nights prisoners To organize this thing
differently would seem to be a mans job
waiting for some expert in adminisus-
ton.
