England Breeds Rabbits for Food.

Rabbit breeding In England hus been
undertaken by the government in an
effort to relieve the shortage of meat
due TO the war.
The National Utility Rabbit asso-
citation, it was announced recently, has
established Il central breeding station
and stud exchange in Vauxhall. Lon
don. The first club started in London
under auspices of the association is at
the Royal news, Buckingham palace
The primary object is to build up as
quickly as possible a large supply Of
the best pedigreed stock, which will be
sent to provincial breeding centers
These in turn will supply breeding
stock TO smaller stations.
Each of the larger provincial ccntors
will have 100 breeding does, while the
smaller stations Will keep on hand
about 20 each. II is the hope of Off
Gals that all allotment societies. food
production organizations, women's in
stitntes and many factories, munitioD
works, school and summer camps will
form rabbit clubs TO be affiliated with
the national association.

Says Of the Minors

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-August Herr
mann, chairman Of the National Base
ball Commission, and B. B. Johnson,
president Of the American League and
also member Of the National Commits
sion, held a conference here to-day to
discuss matters relating to the future
conduct OF professional baseball
No hint of the plan the National
Commission members have in mind for
the reorganization of the sport when
it is permitted to be resumed was given
before the conference, except in answer
to the report from Peoria that the
National Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues. in annual session
there, had appointed committee to
demand the abolition of the draft, with
the alternative Of severance of diplo-
matte relations between the majors and
the minors.
Referring to that demand, President
johnson said:
"Thc plans we have for restoring
baseball after the war contemplate
building from the ground up, and that
means the abolition Of the National
Association of Professional Baseball
Leagues, which for years has been in
capable Of managing its own affairs"

Hanley and Lawrence
For Team for Bike Race

Willie R&nley, the six-day cyclist
from the Pacific coast. yesterday
agreed to accept Percy Lawrence as
teammate for the international six
day race in Madison Square Garden
the week of December II. A week
ago the management teamed Thomas
with Willie Hanley. Then q difference
arose between these two riders and
Thomas threatened to remain out Of
the race unless he could get a different
partner. He wanted Percy Lawrence,
but at the time this could not be ar
ranged because the latter was not in
New York.
Lawrence got here early yesterday
and Immediately went into conference
with Thomas, with the result that the
combination was formed and it was
acceptable TO the race committee.
Hanley and Lawrence should prove
one OF the strongest teams in the race.
Both are veteran six day riders.

Charles HarUey Ready to
Ring J7b Curtain on Sh0zy
By Fred Hawthorne

This is the night. "oldest subscriber
and "a regular reader" when you must
do "Houdini" with your bankroll and
remove the fishhook Innings from your
pockets. Let us all meet at the box
office window at Madison Square Gar
den and buy tickets for the United War
Work Campaign boxing carnival and
then walk through the gates and watch
the glove artists paint scarlet sunsets
on each others faces
That slim and elegant figure standing
near the ringside and toying with the
monoclo ribbon that falls across his
billed" shirtfront, while with his right
hand he strokes his mustache Of truly
tropical luxuriance, is Charles Brush"
Harvey. Aunt Eleanor Ann, the chair
man Of the local committee and The
man who staged this great carnival Of
black eyes and caulifiower ears.
Charley has taken each boxer, indi-
vidually and IN succession, into his
private chambers and laid down the
unwritten law OF the ring to him. In
other words, he has let it be known
that each and every little man must
go into that ring and fight his way out.
There will be none Of that 'la-de-d da'
stuff in this show. They say cat has
nine lives--well, this show is going to
have nine fights, and those who attend
will see so many bloodthirsty encoun-
ters that they will imagine the war has
started all over again. Any boxer who
tries any of that 'Kamerad' stuff will
be tossed out of the ring"
That is the gist of what Harvey told
US last night, when discussing the
show. All the boxers have agreed to
the terms, and the referees have each
agreed to send "slackers" homo ON
shutters.
That imposing personality with the
Lord Byron collar and the voice Of
Homeric thunder, standing inside the
ring ropes, is Joe Humphries, the
Sweet singer Of Harlem" He will In
troduce the fighters and do all the
speaking for everybody in the house,
and then some. Let Us step g little
closer, Aunt Eleanor Ann, and listen to
the guns rumble as Joe crates. Amt
nature a wonderful thing!
All, Oh, Wheel There they comel
That behemothic monster just sitting
down In the chair in the northeast cor
ner OF the ring is Joe Bonds. Joe's
lips are moving. He is saying a little
prayer and trying to remember the
words of Nathan Hale, but ali Joe can
say is: II regret that I have but one
jaw to give to my country"
There comes Jack Dempsey. who is
TO box six rounds with Joe. Jack is
not scowling, Aunt Eleanor Ann, that
is the way he smiles. He's really just
as sweet tempered and gentle az
wildcat, but in a few moments Joe
Bonds will be feeling "perfeckly mis-
able" Amt Joe cute? He's only six
in his holeproofs.
Let US sit right down here at the
press table. Aunt Eleanor Ann, and see
how the other half lives. Place your
pnrasol and your handbag here on the
table. Those persons next to you are
harmless. They are only here to write
up the story, SO don't let them crowd
in on US: The nerve of SOME people!
Yes, there are to be nine bouts OF
six rounds each, with avery class rep
