FEW CANARIES COMING HERE
blockade of German Ports Keeps Birds In
Fatherland

Those who may have been under the i'm
preston that canary birds imported into this
country como from the Canary Islands will suf-
fer a severe dislusionment at this time, es-
pecially if the family thinks that canary bird
is needed, and someone proceeds to buy" a
canary. The fact is that in times of peace ca
nary birds come from the Hartz Mountains, in
Germany, where they are bred by the peas
ants in garrets and spare rooms of their cot
tagcs. Ono New York firm alone imports
100000 canaries annually.
At present canaries be bought in the
bird stores because of the blockade of German
ports. Ordinarily these birds sell for S35 to $50
per dozen The individual bird is sold on his
merits, as indicated by his looks and his voice.
The female canary is poor singer and sells
for half the price of tho male. The birds sing
best between the ages of a half-year and six
years. Frequently they live to be Il years old.
Tho bird dealers also suffer from lack OF
cages for other birds The canaries shipped
in individual wooden cages made in Germany
and sent in lots of 100 to 500. These birds
have to be fed daily canary seed and hard
boiled eggs we'll given fresh water A
skilled attendant has to accompany them on
the voyage and frequently a young peasant
earns his travelling expenses to this country in
that manner

John L. Sullivan, VINO is appearing at
a local theater.
IF Moran whales away at the ne
gros midsection with the viciousness
Of which he is capable he will be
champion of the world after the bat
tie. But If he attempts to box John
son it will be the same old story, he
will be licked just as johnson has
beaten every man who ever attempt
ed to swap science with him or force

The former champion of the world
seems to think that Moran is good
enough to win the title, especially so
because OF the poor condition that
the present title holder is supposed 10
be in.

should wind up with a splendid
average. and be found somewhere
among the first four, but | do not
look for them to win the champion

Tech looked so bad on Friday that
that night they looked to me no bet

dozen colleges. Still, kne, well
enough they could play better ball
than that Evidently they thought
likewise, and started in Saturdays
game with the idea of demonstrating
to everybody concerned
So for the first time this year they
looked, on Saturday like ball team
yes, ball team, but still far from
a champion ball team. They still
made several messes of easy
chances, and their team play and
understanding of inside points of
individual play was far from smooth,
but they showed no such rottenness
as can not be eliminated with hard.

not hitting as well as | am convinced
they can: nor for that matter are
they playing in any respect quite up
to my measure of their capacities.
Perhaps they never will. But If
they can get 1t in their heads that
it is not how team can play ball
but how it does play ball that counts
in games they should soon begin to
come out of the kinks.
