CHANCE WITH POULTRY

WHEN n woman wants to earn

seven times out of ten she viii decide
that the thing for her Is poultry. She

And after while, with her money

to come, she parts from her chickens.

other and as far away as possible
place, deciding to clerk in store or
wait in lunchroom rather than ever
see live chicken again.
But women do make a success with
poultry. and they are among the hap
piest and healthiest and most salts

the feeling that they have home of
their own and are their own masters,
and the genuine interest Of the work
are all factors In this result. But the
Young woman who turns longingly to-

prevailing prices for eggs and poultry,
needs to stop, look and listen.
II she can afford the time and
money, two-year course In some
agricultural school or college will be
a fine thing. But she can do without
this. She can get excellent books on
the subject, and If she looks about a
little she may be able to get some
practical experience on poultry farm.
One summer would be great help If
so spent.
Successful ralsers agree that It
takes four or five acres Of land and
about five hundred pullets to make a
start. The same experts say that 1t
requires Mt least 1000 chickens to
make good living. This means plenty
of work, especially in the Matching

YOU.

TITO EACH of us comes day like
l. this one now and then.
A day when all the mlsts Of old en-
wrap the soul again.
Last night, smile upon my lips, l
gave myself to rest,
Today awoke by ancient III, by hurts
Of old, oppressed.
| know not why these shadows come,
these shades of vain desire,
do but know they creeping come TO
sit beside the fire;
And earth is but an Empty place. and
Joy has flickered out,
And faith has fallen by the hand,
assassin hand, of doubt.
l only ask in such an hour. when such
shall come to me,
l only ask In such an hour that You
are there to see.
! only ask In such an hour l need but
stretch my hand
And know that Il shall feel the clasp
Of You, who understand.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
NEWS"

DOPULAR etymology, which
L Is akin to "fireside law"
states that the word news" Is
derived from the initials Of the
four points Of the compass
North, East, West and South
and that the weather-vane SYM
Dol was placed at the top Of a
number Of the earlier newspa-
pers to indicate that they col
lected their information from
all parts of the earth. The lat
ter statement may be true, but
the former can hardly be credit
ed for the reason that the word
news" was used by Shake
speare some fifty years or more
before the publication Of the
first newspaper.
A study OF the equivalent
word In German and other lam
guages will further show the
fallacy of the compass-theory.
The Teutonic word is neulgkeit-
en- and the French nouvelles and
II is impossible for either one
Of these to be derived from the
points Of the compass which, In
the two languages, are repre-
sented by the letters IN. o. w.
s." and IN. Il. o. S." The Ger
man das neue appears to be
much closer to the English
news but the word was
really derived from the Anglo
Saxon hives, as clearly indicat-
ed by Berner's translation of
Froissart, published in 1900, in
which It is spelled 'newes."

horrible jolt.

The waves were trying to say that

Finally one of the waves reached
into his sea-shell suit case and pulled
out his sea-weed night shirt. He tried
to say he wanted to go back and he
waved his night shirt, thinking they
would understand as they looked at
the sea-weed that surely creature
who wore such queer things wouldn't
do for the earth, or the dry land.
But the brownie only grlnned at the
little man.
"Ah," he said, "this wave wants a

THE OLD FOX

The apparent ease with which
Hubert Dennis blanked the Plows
in yesterdays exhibition game
should convince his most relentless
critics that they are barking up the
wrong tree.
II is doubtful that another minor
league club in the country can boast
Of a more useful pitcher than the
"Old Fox"
1t is no trifling feat to pitch nine
innings at this time of year against
a high priced ball club, with moth
ing on the ball but perfect control,
and shut them out
The Plows went down inning after
inning because they could not hit
consistently enough to put a single
runner on third. Why couldn't they
hit safe? For no other reason than
because Dennis crossed them con-
tinUally with his fast ball and
f1Oater-not a curve.
Dennis success as a versatile
pitcher lies in the fact that he Is
always a couple of thinks" ahead
of every batter. He works batters
on what they do not expect anG
fields his position fauntlessly.
The fact that he is a dangerous
batter makes him a three sided act
in pitching, fielding and batting.

being skilled in judging whether a
candidate IS or is NOT a g0od
ball player.
A great yowl of glee arises from
the stands every time q home player
cracks out q safe hit, the fans little
realizing that the batter might have
pulled the worst skull" Of the game
by hitting when bunt play mad
been called.
Such skulls" and they are ire
quent, drive a manager almost to
evaporation because, for one rea-
son, they unset his well laid calcu-
lations Of the proper mode OF at
tack. It never pays for player to
cross" his manager, no matter how
we'll he can hit.
Just what, and what not, to do
with the ball at every stage OF the
game must be sensed instantly. Nat
ural intuition guides many players
others do not know and have to De
told when the slightest delay Will
aid the opposing team.
These are some Of the things by
which a skillful manager judges his
players. Rarely is player released
because of personal spite. The truth
be known. the player who Ms re-
leased outright is invariably his
own worst enemy.
The managers success depends
largely on the least amount Of

y CLUB DISCIPLINE.

Manager McQuillan has posted
club rules for discipline, and will go
a step farther in seeing that they
are enforced to the letter.
Unless excused for sufficient rea-
sons, all the players must report at
Douglas park twice daily in uni
form-10 a. m. and 1:30 p. IN.
The deadline for retiring will be
II p. m. Nothing higher than 10
cent limit will be permitted for
card playing. No playing will be
permitted on trains while the club
is in transit.
Elmer Benson will be vested with
full authority in the absence of
Manager McQuillan and all the
players must abide by his orders.
Violation of the club rules will incur
a fine Of $40 for every offense.
Competent athletes require eight
hours sleep beginning in or before
midnight Nothing slows up a
baseball player more than loss OF
proper sleep.
Permission for only sociabie
card playing will preclude most OF
the heavy financial losses incurred
by players during the season. All
real ball players will forever abhor
the slightest intimation OF
gambling, if they remember that it
almost deprived them Of the pro-
| feSsion.
With the enforcement OF these
rules there will be greater disci-
plire, hence faster baseball.

There is a certain degree OF ad-
miration for the person who can get
away with a money grab. even ones
own; but no baseball fan will con-
done the so-called tyranny of wild
pitch, boot or dropped fly ball with
the bases filled.
Fear Of the power Of riches may
be said to awe the human being
into silence at a psychological
moment when, say, a suspected
profiteer is seen to pass. But out
on the bleachers the fan is the bird

The only reason The Sportscope
can offer is that Americans take
their sports seriously, but pass
lightly over lack of civic righteous
ness.
There has got to be great uni

least one good purpose in being the
