SPORTS, FR0LIC FOR
TURNGEMEIINDE

Wilmington Turngemeinde held
its annual Memorial Day picnic on
its spacious grounds at COL South
Clayton street yesterday. Large shade
trees give the grounds all the ap-
pearance of park and many mem
bers and their families and friends
spent the day at the outing.
The program included a number
OF special athletic and gymnastic
events. In the first, the boys class
of the Turngemeinde performed un-
der the leadership OF Emil Maurer.
The boys ranging in age from s to
II years won the applause Of the
spectators through their clever exc
cution of the difficult stunts. They
participated in field sports and appa-
ratus work. Three prizes were dis
tributed, the first going to Emil
Maurer, Jr., the second to f. Klein
and the third to John Roberts.
The Actives also competed in a
number of events, which included
tumbling, gymnastics and field
sports. The Actives were greatly de-
pleted during the war by members
enlisting and not returning to this
city.
Two feature races. one for fat
men and one for thin men. were
held, Emil Maurer winning the first
and Charles Reynard the second

that he tried to sneak over fives
points more than his hand called for.

Round Two.
This one was a riot. The cham
pion, angered by the beating he had
received in the opening spasm, tried
TO get his oponent's goat by call
ing him a pongolooed slicker and a
fumadoodled shark. but his efforts
along these lines were Of no avail,
we riding along nicely and scoring

sey had failed to turn the last post
on the way home before his oppo-
nent had finished the game.

In many parts of the country there
has been tendency to let the tanning
mill rest and rust and gather dust and
to pay the mill or elevator for cleaning
the grain, paying the bill by accepting
low price for the unclaimed wheat
or oats or barley. Besides. the chick

CONDITIONING BIRDS
FOR POULTRY SHOWS
Stand Better Chances for Win
ming if Well Trained.
Poultry Specialists Of United States
Department Of Agriculture Give
Suggestions for Prepare
ton Ct Fowls.

Although the larger poultry shows
are usually held in the fall, smaller ex-
hibitions are staged throughout the
winter months. The following advice
in training and conditioning birds pre-
vious to show, given by poultry spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is good the whole
year round. The bird that has been
properly trained and prepared will
stand a better chance every time of
winning a prize than another bird
equally good. but wild or easily fright
ened, or whose plumage is soiled or
dirty.
After the birds are selected. remove
them from the rest Of the flock and
place each bird in an exhibition coop
for~at least a part of each day. Fowls
so confined will become accustomed Ia
the coop. Handling them-that is. re-
moving them from the coop each day
will have the effect of making them
tame. In handling the birds and re-
moving and returning them to and
from the coops, move quietly and han
die the birds gently so as not to
brighten them.
Examine the plumage so that the
fowl will become accustomed TO such
movements when being handled by the
judge. Likewise, attempt to compose
the bird by smoothing and stroking the
wattles gently; this seems TO have a
soothing effect on the fowls, and when
done frequently and properly they
come to look for 1t when one approach.
es the coop.
Birds to be exhibited should not be
confined to the exhibition coops for toe
great period, as long. continuous
ooOping may cause them to get out OF
condition and therefore unfit for show
A satisfactory plan is to confine tho
birds for part of each day or every
other day alternately up 10 few days
before sending them to the show. when
they should be confined until ready tC

EASY TO WINTER FALL PIGS

More fall pigs are being raised now
