RAISES WILD r.ucKs
Wisconsin Mans Mallards Just Like
Game Fowls.

Game Fowls.
Madison. Wis, June 29.-Wild ducks
may be domesticated and raised on the
farm as well as tame ones. The plan
has been tried by J. c. Halpin of this
city for the past three years with sue
oesc.
Last fall he had flock of nearly 200
and when the cold weather came on
they took their regular spin" in the
skies and then returned to the yards
and the wild duck sells for mere than
the tame variety because Of ere flavor
OF the meat
The first birds We're kept in captivity
by clipping the wings, but the young
ducks are as easily handled as domes-
tic ones.
These domesticated mallards retain
many of the instincts peculiar to wild
nature. Let one mallard start limp
ing and in less than 10 minutes unless
something is done to attract attention
elsewhere, majority will be limping.
These eat much less than tie tame
ones.

line to first and right on the bag. The advance matter from Little Rock and Chattanooga that the youngster was little less than a phenom proved true, and the young recruit gained even more popularity with the fans by played.
 The Barons displayed more fight yes- terday than they have in many day. Perhaps they had a plenty to inspire them, but anyway, they cer- tainly did keep after that Ellam bunch. The team looked better yes- terday than any time previous this season and especially so on the de- fense. Every man on the infield played a sterling game, as well as every member of the outfield.
 Eddie Mcdonald offered some of the best bit of fielding that has been witnessed around the hot corner in some time. Eddie made several won derful stops and threw the batter out at first in each instance. In the ninth he Jagged Bakers liner down the third base-line that was labeled for a double and threw the Vol outfielder out at first. In the tenth he gobbled up Gabby Streets bunt past Black
 
 by a narrow margin. These were the two plays of the veteran that stood out but numerous others caused the fans to lift their lid.
 Danny Clark certainly worked into the favor of the fans in the ninth yesterday when he pasted out, the blow that sent Fred Derrick home with the tally that tied the game. l. T It. hits. In the second inning he slammed out one that went to the right field fence, only to have Baker spear it with one hand. In the fifth Tommy Sheehan romped back of first and robbed him of another sure safe- ty. On his next two trips to the plate Danny resolved to get safe one and he put them where they couldn't be caught in time to put him out. Danny is one more slugger.
 But back to the little incident after the game Moley and the entire bunch were mad as wet hens but they were justified. Williams has been giv- ing us the raw end of the deals throughout the season and it's time that it stopped" said the Baron chief tain. Tt seems that every time he gets the chance he sees how hard he can help to beat us. Why, some of his decisions out there yesterday were the rankest I have ever witnessed in my long career on the diamond I'm tired of taking such dealings and hope that we will begin to get little jus tice from him.
 Rick Woodward was of the same belief and heartily agreed with his pilot that Williams had robbed the Barons of the game. Rick doesn't get mad often and never without an excuse on the field, but he had all the fire in him aroused yesterday.
 Watch the crowds pour in Redwood today. Perryman is Moley's choice against Rogers. A good game promised, fans,; go out.

and protector Black swung at me- l swung back and just then a big man With a badge grabbed me. I stopped and he had me by my arm when I ob- served that he was drawing back with his right. I thought he was a police man and was going to shove the crowd back, but instead he busted me in the mouth and ran In the meantime MT. Woodward and Molesworth rushed at me and all l did was to defend myself. The charge that I gave Nashville the best of the decisions Is, of course, ab- surd. l made the decisions as I saw them"
 The scene yesterday was unprece- dented on Birmingham diamond and is the first occurrance of such magnitude on record here. Williams, however, has only himself to blame as he set the match to the powder with his belli- costly toward Black
 Kerins statement on the affair follows:
 T left the field imm ediately after the game and went to the dressing room. Minutes passed and Williams did not come. The crowd jeered at me but I paid no attention to it as it Is GUS omary for baseball fans to be hard losers Still Williams did not come and the first intimation I had of trouble was when a policeman opened the door and told me not to come out that a crowd was waiting outside to get me. Williams was then escorted in and the incident was over.'
 Kerin took things very calmly, de- ploring that the incident should have happened in the home of the president of the league.
 President Baugh is at present in Montgomery attending the golf tour nament, and it is probable that no of- fcial action will be taken in the mat ter pending his return.
 Moley, Woodward, Black and Will Hams were put under bond by the crowd of cops that had gathered on a charge of affray. Their bond was fixed at $50 All made bond on the field. The trial will be held in the recorders court this morning at SEQ o'clock
