used in making the breed. The Ply
mouth Rock is more like the Asiatic
than the European chicken.
The greatest recommendation for
the Plymouth Rock is the excellent
growth made by the young chickens.
In this quality they have no superior.
The Plymouth Rock pullets are good
layers. but as yearling hens are prone
to turn the feed into fat rather than
eggs.
One objection to the barred variety
is the difficulty in keeping the breed
true to the standard type. The pure
breds are required to have even and
distinct bars of the same shade in
male and female. These are difficult
points to maintain and resort is often
made to double matings or the keep.
ing Of two breeding pens, one to pro-
duce cockerels and the other pullets.
White and buff Plymouth Rocks are
later products than the barred variety.
Much of what has been said will apply
to these also. The white variety is
free from the color objection of the
barred type, but the objection to the
f~attening tendency applies to hens of
this variety perhaps more forcibly
than to the barred. Buff Plymouth
Rocks will average smaller than the
other varieties Of the breed. Although
a solid color bird. they, like all buff
breeds except the buff cochin, will be
found difficult to breed of one color,
owing to the tendency to possess
black or white in the wings and tail.

for his services and it is highly proOanle
that he will represent the clubmen in the
remaining sets of games scheduled for
the vicinity.
Although he has not figured prominent
ly in open contests held in the District
during his stay in the high schools, Hurd
has been the most consistent trainer on
the squad at Tech during the past few
years.
Working under difficulty, without suita-
BILE training quarters and minus the serv-
ices of q coach. II" has been one or the
scant few at the school that have en-
deavored to stir up interest and boost
one of the cleanest and most benehciai
sports known to athletics.
Joe aBteman. former lightweight
pugilist of this vicinity, has taken it upon
himself to arouse interest in boxing IN
the different high and prep schools or
the District, and has already succeeded
in inducing a goodly number Of future
greats to try their luck at the game.
He has organized classes at several OF
the schools, and reports excellent prog
ress in his work. At Business a large
number Of those athletically inclined are
learning the art OF seif-defense and at
the same time furnishing pugilistic of
ferings that would do justice to many of
the nSnt cluDS OF tHlS Vicinity.
Followers OF. basket ball at Western
have noted with delight the squirt of the
basket ball team in its last few games,
and are looking with hopes renewed to
an old-time athletic revival at the school.
Last week the boys from across the
creek treated Business rejuvenated COM
bination to surprise party by admins
tering a severe trounctng that stamped
them a far superior combination.
The Western players have mastered
team work. and the individuals show re-
markable ability at goal tossing. West
ern deserves another crack al the District
scholastic title. and If afforded another
chance will give either Eastern or Ca
thedral School run for the distinction.
The midyear marks that were recorded
at the various schools Friday evening will
deprive several of the track teams of the
services of men who have been depended
on to score. According to we'll defined re-
port. Central will lose Bragg. It's star

tance runner of unusual promise. !.
No official announcement has been given
