FORTY BIRDS IN COOKING
MAIN HELD NEAR KEN0SHA

Kenosha, Wis. Feb. S.--What is
declared to have been the biggest
cooking main ever pulled off by Chi
cago and Wisconsin sports was held
at Carroilville. in Milwaukee county
early yesterday after the main had
been forbidden in Kenosha county by
Sheriff Andrew Stahl. Kenosha for
years has been the scene of chicken
fights. and the one arranged for local
resort Saturday night was to have
eclipsed all others.
Forty birds were in Kenosha for
the battle when Stahl got wind OF it.
He informed the promoters that every
man at the pit would be arrested and
sent deputies to guard the resort where
the main was to have been held.
With the birds concealed in the
usual canvas bags, the sports went TO
Carrollviue. It is said that hundreds
of dollars changed hands on the re-
suits of the battles, which continued
until daybreak yesterday morning.

DECATUR REVIEW WONDERS
HOW SPRINGFIELD is GOING
TO FINANCE BALL TEAM.

Where is Springfield going to get
that $4,000 which it IS said the bust
ness men proposed to raise to fin
ance a reviva' of baseball? The Deca-
tur Review speculates editorially on
the subject as follows:
"One of Wednesdays items told us
that there was meeting of % Spring
field business men at a hotel in that
city and that il was decided TO con-
tribute the sum of $4,000 for the pur,
pose of financing the ball team for
1915.
in another column there was an
item which informed us that George
Reed had heard of the action taken
in Springfield at the hotel meeting
whereupon he at once packed his
glip and lit out OF Peoria for Spring
field. This means that Mr. Reed
thinks there is something in the
$4,000 story.
Some of US expect TO devote lit
tie watchful waiting to further de-
velopments OF this baseball move in
Springfield. We haven't the names of
the 20 who gathered in the hotel and
talked to the tune of Sc 900; neither
in there a word as to how they pro-
pose TO go about it 10 raise the mon
ey.
Representative and senators
from all districts in the state that
have ball teams are asked to be alert
We are depending on them to see
to it that Springfield fans don't get
the $4,000 from the states trea sury.

Chief among these is the rule limit
