Jack Johnson the heavyweight
champion, IS back in Chicago after an
unpleasant experience IN a California
jail He says he was badly treated in
san Francisco but will forget it by
going abroad to attend the Coronation
OF King George.
1t appears that Jack Lester has sal
ed the Australians into believing that
he is the champion white boxer Of thu
United States. All Lester las is the
Endorsement of Tommy Burns, and
as the Australians liked Burns, very
Well they are taking his word FOR it

He will have some advantage over
Lang as he is bigger in every way, al
though Lang has had the ing expert

it would be further evidence that
Lang, who was snap for sam Lang
ford, is overrated.
That recent Langford MeVey fight
at Paris has stirred up hornet $
nest among French followers OF the
game. The Negro fighters have lost
favor. and all the boxing clubs at
Paris lave decided that they Will MT
have any more battles between eelared
fighters unless a match in which Jack

good for McNey's returning home in

DRAWN AND uNpRAwN POULTRY


 Some time ago investigations were undertaken by the department of agri- culture with a view to determining the keeping quality of drawn and undrawn poultry. These tests were made during the season 1909-10, and the results have just been made public. The birds used were mature hens, large and fair ly fat, and were killed and dressed by the regular employees of a poultry packing house-bled through the mouth and dry picked-and were shipped in the usual packages in a carlot of dressed poultry. They were received by the wholesaler, were handled with his stock, went to the retailer when he purchased fowls from the same car lot and remained in his shop for the period required to effect their sale. A part of the fowls were full drawn, some wire drawn. others "Boston drawn" and some not drawn at all When the data were gathered 1t was found that the undrawn poultry kept best-decomposed more slowly; that the full drawn. with head and feet removed. decomposed most rapidly, while the two other classes stood about midway between these.
