CHANCE WILL
TRY OUT COLE
AS COMEBACK
Fans Look for "King" to Show
His Old Form With the
Yankees in, 1914.

hTEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Among
v many other things likely to
be worth watching in the
American League next season, will be
the comeback" effort to be made by
King Cole, one time Cub pitcher, ana
erstwhile eminent barber in Chicago.
1t may be remembered that Cy
Falkenberg, the Nap pitcher, did a
comeback during the season which
died during the rainy days of Octo-
Der. One of the first things Cy did on
his return from the minors was to
peel off ten straight victories, which
is fair job for a man who has once
been stamped as through, finished
done and ready for the discard
Falkenberg was there with his hair
in a braid, and American Association
tipsters to-day are predicting as much
for Cole. Having introduced Cole to
high society. Chance knows just about
what he can do. The trouble with
Cole has appeared TO have been that
he found paths that led to other
places than fame and strayed from
the straight and narrow He did not
keep in condition-and then came the
skids
Cole will be but one OF couple of
dozen new men picked up by Chance
during the last season. or the TWEEN
ty-six players Chance took to Ber-
muda last spring, but ten are now
on the payroll. OF those sent to the
discard Chase and Lelivelt are the
only ones to remain In fast company.
in getting lined up for next year the
Yanks spent considerable money in
filling out their hands The top price
was put up for Maisel, the young
third sacker, for whom the Baltimore
club was handed $4,000 Outfelder
Gilhooley cost $500. Jersey City re-
ceived $1,000 for Pitcher McRae. Out
fielder Holden cost $4,000, and $4,000
was dumped into the Texas League
for Williams Reynolds Whiteman
and Rose. Cook cost $4,000, and with
other expenditures Chances bill for
the year ran up TO about $4,000.

the right kind of men, so the chances
are that Konetchy who is overly anx-
ious to depart from st. Louis, will
have his wishes gratif1ed. The big
first baseman is a star, and now that
he is publicly on the market Higgins
should be able to get some good ma
terial in exchange for him.
Giants Still After Zin.
Up in New York they are still talk
ing about H. Zimmerman playing
with the Giants. Even Christy
Mathewson has been writing some
dope about Zim, and how he would
strengthen the Giants. In the local
camp they say nothing doing" con-
corning Zim and New York, but
sometimes we are forced to believe
that with the arrival of Mr.. Murphy
in early January will come an an
nouncement that Zimmerman will go
to the Giants. Murphy told the New
York scribes he would not give them
Heine for all of the New York Giants,
with McGraw thrown in, but Murphy
sometimes has the habit of crossing
his fingers when speaking to scribes.

TOW comes the Maiden Stakes"
u in the way of golf tourna-

v in the way of golf tourna-
ments at East Lake.
This has nothing to do with the
estimable Mr.. Maiden, who presides
professionally over the golf desti-
MES of the Atlanta Athletic Club.
That is, Mr.. Maiden will have only
as much to do in connection with
the next tourney as he has with the
other Journeys
But George Adair has an idea that
there ought to be measure of
compensation coming to a lot Of ear
nest and hard working golfers, who
toll regularly in every tournament,
only to be put out before the cup
stage is reached.
81 We been thinking for some time"
said Mr.. Adair, that there
ought to be a tournament restricted
to players who never have won a cup
in an A. A. C. golf tournament. 1t
stands to reason that there are lot
of those players. 1t also stands to
reason that without them, and their
patriotic zeal, the regular tourna-
ments would be impossible or would
be mere fizzles.
Now, there is in the Atlanta Ath-
letic Club, as in every similar club,
a sort of cup corner When any
golf tournament starts at East Lake
the probable winners can be counted
on the fingers of one hand-or two
hands, at the outside. Usually it's one
of five or six players of recognized
ability who wins the main cup.
$50 I've been sort of planning a
maiden event to give the other fell
lows a chance"
TIERE'S the idea
Il The tournament is to start
next Saturday and only golf
ers will be eligible who never have
won a cup in an Atlanta Athletic Club
tournament.
There will be no preliminary quail
flying round--that bugbear of all I'M
certain golfers.
THE first sixteen entries received
by the golf committee in writing will
be made into the first flight" said
Mr. Adair. The next sixteen will go
in the second flight, and II there are
sixteen more, there will be another
flight All the flights will have the
same standing-th is. there will
be no champ .onship flight. All the
trophies will be the same.
THAT will give two or three-may-
be golfers the assurance OF win
ming cups who never have enjoyed the
sensation before. And IL ought to
produce some fine and lively compe-
tition because, with the cup winners
eliminated the flights should be well
balanced in the extreme"
Tor the rest of the arrangements
the following should be observed
by entrants in the Maiden Stakes"

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov 22-Ban
I Johnson, president of the Amer
lean League, yesterday an
nounced that the spring meeting OF
the American League will be held
later than usual. The date VIII De
Marchl7 and it will be held in New
York. Charles a. Comiskey and his
world touring baseball aggregation
will reach New York March and
the meeting will be held the follow
ing day in order that Comiskey may
attend. At the same time the Amer1-
can League magnates will give the
Old Roman a royal welcome nome.
Were 1t not for the fact that Com
my and his troubadours Will be miles
across the deep blue sea the meeting
would be held in February. The
spring meetings Of the American
League are usually held during that
month.
However, the schedule makers will
long have finished their work and
every club owner in the circuit Will
know where he stands as to holiday
dates" etc. At the March meeting
the schedule will be officially adopted;
there will be banquets galore and the
wine merchants of Gotham will be
many dollars stronger when the
American League officials head for
their respective homes.
Huqoins Anxious for Trades.
The National League magnates APP
pear to be busy with two subjects.
They are inducing Governor Tener, of
PENNSYLVANIA, to take a perfectly good
lob for a term of years and they are
trading Konetchy the Cardinals big
first sacker, to at least three clubs In
the circuit. They are also still work
ing on our own A. Zimmerman. The
latest has it that Honey will either
go to New York, Cincinnati or Pitts
burg. The Pittsburg deal came up,
It is said, when Barney Dreyfuss met
Miller Higgins at Columbus during
the recent meeting of the minor
league moguls. Now, just what B.
Dreyfuss would give for Konetchy we
have not vet ascertained. Rumor has
il that he Is ready to meet Higgins
halfway, and as Hug Is one manager
who has a right to be strong for the
trading stuff, the chances are that he
will shortly put It squarely up to
Dreyfuss and ask him for two or three
Of the Pirates stars
Another angle Is that McGraw, the
crafty leader of the New York
Giants, has first call on Honey. How
ever, MCGTaW is noW toSSlns ABOUT on
the sad sea waves, and the chances
are that If Honey Is to go to the
Giants the deal is now all framed.
John B. Foster. secretary of the
Giants, Is on the job in the New
York office, and it may be that he
will fire his final shot Just as soon
as Dreyfuss and Tinker name their
propositions.

Bill Smith Returns;
Picks Welchonce as
l9l4Captain Team

Billy Smith, manager Of the pen
nant winning Crackers, IS back with
US again. Smith arrived yesterday
and spent much of his time announc-
Ing some of his plans for next season.
The local manager stated that ne
has picked Harry Welchonce, the
leading outfielder of the Southern
League, as the 1914 captain. Harry
is to replace Whitley Alperman, who
mas quit the game. The Georgian
predicted Thursday that Welchonce
would be Billy Smiths choice.
Ambrose Mcconnell, former Ameri-
can League star, will probably be on
second base for the Crackers next
season. Mcconnell played with To-
ronto last season, but Smith thinks
ne can get Mcconnell to sign with the
locals.
Smith has high praise for F1anna-
gan, the new outfielder, and Eibel, VINO

work ruin quicker, no doubt. 1t is sim
ply a survival of the fittest. If you DO
rot show your hand in the plan of the
fittest, nature will do II in a much less
satisfactory way-that Of killing them
off
This question of culling is quite a
difficult one for the novice, yet it is
one that must be mastered. and one
that will be a better schooling for the
one who desires to learn than any
thing he can do. The very day his
young chicks get old enough to show
any feathers of distinction or type
worth considering he should begin TO
study them and Gull them in his mind,
80 that by the time they are old
enough to kill or sell for bToilers he
will be ready TO make the selection
Of what he should get rid of. At
such a time he may sell all those that
show decided Irregularities and reduce
the flock a good deal, at the same
time keeping an eye out for those that
will make the best breeders for his
work the coming season. He can also
get rid of hens that have not meas
ured up to what they should in their
breeding or laying qualities. This
should be done as soon as the laying
season is over for the spring rush.
The breeder must keep well to the
front all the while the very great i'm
portance of vigorous stock, and look
well to the healthy body as well as
the fine feathers in selecting for
breeders. for fine feathers will do but
little good on a debilitated frame. If
you are raising stock TO sell for
breeding purposes, 1t should be your
aim to keep such stock moving at al
most all seasons Of the year. AS soon
as ii is old enough to select in the
early fall, put some little squibs in the
papers telling the people about your
rapidly developing stock and of how
much more they will get for their
money if ii is invested now than
later after you have cared for 1t so
long. II is a mighty good proposition
for both parties, too, to make these
early trades.
1t is not a question OF how many
you can raise, but how many can you
keep. Never become tempted to take
up but one variety at a time if you
would be successful, More poultry
enthusiasts have become stranded on
the rock of too many breeds than per-
haps any other one thing. 1t is abso-
lutely dangerous, and you should ny
all means curb your ambitions along
that line. There is not so much DIFF
ference in the quality of the different
breeds. You can make a success OF
any of them If you set your head that
way. Do not try to breed something
good from a whole lot of hens and u
male or two turned together. Take the
trouble to yard them off, even if IN
small or movable yards. and but a
few fowls in each and mark the
chicks from them 80 you will know
what you are doing. In that way you
can soon tell the good breeders from
the poor ones, and Gull accordingly.

Some Good Advice
For Beginners and
Back Yard Breeders
Don't overerowd Conditions for il
Certainly viii Mean
Disease.
BY JUDGE z. ]. MARSHALL.

There is but little trouble in getting
started with a backyard flock That
is all easy enough: but when fully
started, the question is getting
stopped at the right time or point
in the game. Very many persons be-
come interested in poultry in a small
way and decide to handle it in their
back yard, which is all right They
become more interested as the game
goes on, and the tendency is to raise
all the stock that they can, not TAX
ing into consideration the possibility
of OVERRIDING the matter by getting too
many on he place for the room there
is to handle them. The first season
usually runs pretty we'll, but at the
end of the second season is usually
about where the rub comes in, The
crowded condition shows itself on
every hand. You know, there Is a
limit to almost everything, and par
ticularly to the room Of a back yard
When one gets his place full of grow
ing chicks, there is expansion upon
every hand. A lot of growing chicks
can fill up all the available Coops on a
place about as fast as anything one
can think of, and If something is not
done to relieve the congestion, there
is bound to be trouble. Crowding
means disease. The question comes.
then, as to what to do with them 1t
must be a system of culling. One If
the first thing a back lotter should
learn is the system of successful Gull
ing. We know how hard il is for an
enthusiastic breeder or fancier to be-
gin to dispose of a part Of his flock
OF course, there are few that are
veritable culls that anyone can Gull
out with ease, but after such are
disposed of then the real rub comes
AS one backyard breeder has well
said, 1t is a matter of culling from the
beginning Of the year to the close
thereof. Other things being equal
the breeder who is the most success
full at culling is the most successful
in his ultimate results. Many have
said. I'VE never thought about Gull
ing" The successful merchant I'M
derstands the culling process; he is at
IL all the time. If it is not one de-
partment, it is another. He must have
the room and the clean line of stock
If he does not do this, his business
will suffer from disease. His may
be what's termed dry rot" but 1t. is
disastrous just the same. Yours will
