Georgian Has New Way
To Train Game Cocks

ATLANTA, Sept. IA new
way of training fighting cocks has
been invented by Fred G. Hunter,
Of Atlanta. Putting on pair of box
ing gloves, he gets down on his
knees in front of a cock and gives
him a biff with his left. Of course,
the rooster, if he's got any fighting
blood at all, comes back with beak
and claws. Then Hunter swats him
with his right, sendino the bird a
whirling across the 'ring." This
they have it back and forth, the roos-
ter never getting close enoug to do
anv damage to Hunter with its beak
and claws, but always coming bacy
for more. Hunter finds that the ex-
ercise not only trains the roosters
to stand a lot of rough mauling, but
hardens their muscles and improves
their wind.
