FERTILE EGGS FOR HATcHING
Maximum Fertility Not Likely TO Be
Obtained Before TWO Weeks
After Mating Fowls

Matings should be made at least
two weeks before beginning to save
the eggs for Matching If less time

can be incubated for five or six days
TO see whether they are fertile. If
these eggs are not fertile. there is
stfII time to change the male bird
and thus be sure Of fertile eggs for

winning tomorrow not only for the
loss of Thursdays game to the Cubs.
but also for the defeat administered
by Pontiac several weeks ago, when
the two teams Clashed. It wasn't any
disgrace to lose to the Cubs, but 1t
will be an awful disgrace If the fans
team loses again tomorrow,
Spencer will again toe the rubber
for Dunn and what he isn't going to
do to the Pontiac nine isn't worth
talking about. In the previous game
with the men from the reformatory
city, Dunn's gang was defeated by
score of TO g. Pontiac sure was
chesty after that game and talked as
IL they had the only team that could
play ball. The Chicago Hawthornes
trimmed them u to 0 two weeks ago.
Last Sunday the Iawthornes came
to ottawa with their star pitcher,

feated, s to 3. Figuring from the dope
of the two games. it will be big
whitewash for the inmates OF the re-
