Bouts, with only two exceptions, were fast and snappy. being much en- joyed by the audience. There were two matches only to mar the entire pro- gramme and they were the 115 and 175-pound events. In the featherweight chan pionship Colletti and Pettingill seemed to be stalling, so Referee Par ry stopped the bout and awarded the decision to Colletti.
 Then, in the 175-pound class, Par- rette fell as if knocked out by a light blow by Perrin, in the only blow of the l fight, by the way, and the fans imme- diately "got wise." Referee Parry ana others near the ring stated that Perrin didn't seem to even hit Perrette. | However, there were no difficulties and the affair passed off very nicely

108-POUND CLASS

Summaries of last nights bouts fol- low:
 108-POUND CLASS
 Al PettiMgui W on a close victory over Sam Pizzitola, both of New Orleans, in the finals of the 10S-pound class. Pizzi- tola started off strong, winning the first round on points, He ended the second session by knocking Pettingill down. but was in turn, knocked down in the third round. The judges decided that another round was necessary so the boys squared off again. After Pizzitola had knocked him almost to his knees, Pettingill staged a comeback and was given the decision at the end of the round.
 Both boxers exhibited some classy work and their bout was one of the best of the night.
 Pettingill, the new southern champion bantamweight, exhibited some classy footwork, but Pizzitola was best when the two stood toe to toes and slugged it out
 Claudio Wilson of the B. A. c. won third place in the 10S-pound class when Sid Zitterbaum of Brunswick, Ga, for feited to him.
 115-POUND CLASS
 Pascal Colletti and Al Pettingill en- tered the ring to fight it out for the featherweight championship, but they evidently missed their calling, for they minutes of dancing and stalling, Referee Jack Parry stopped the fight and awarded the decision to Colletti.
 As a matter of fact, neither boy ue- served to win, for the two so obviously seemed to be pulling stall"
 Johnny Reeves forfeited his bout with Jimmie Woods to determine third place winner in the 115-pound class.
 125-POUND CLASS
 One of the classiest scraps of the even- ing developed when Frank Strobino and Frantz Rogue met in the finals of the specialweight class. Rogue of Spring Hill College, Mobile. won the decision after four of the hardest rounds of fight ing of the entire tournament. Bogue is one of the classiest little fighters to appear in Birmingham in long time He is fast, very fast, shoot ing in his blows with lightning speed He can hit fairly hard, too. He has splendid right uppercut that rarely ever fails to miss it's mark. His left 1ab and hook is all that can be de- sired.
 t'rantZ BoEue made as favorable i'm presson with local fans this year as Ashton Donza did in last years tourna- ment.
 Strobino put up a game fight, but was unable to hit the fast Mobilian. Frank Strobino was one of the B. A. C's greatest hopes in the tourney and his defeat was a heart-breaKer to local officials.
 Bogue certainly showed the stuff last night, and his victory was de- served, although the local boy gave him a battle.
 Pascal Colletti won a close decision from Carl Arnold in the bout to deter mine third place winner n the 125. pound class. Arnold held his faster opponent to a draw in the first three rounds. but in the fourth session which was ordered by the judges Col lletti outpointed him. winning the fight
 This fight was fast and interesting.

Perrette of New Orleans, is probably the most easily knocked out boxer in Dixie, is more than likely the thought of more than one fight fan this morn ing, for the Crescent City lad succumbetl to blow that didn't appear to be struck.
 Ernie Perrin and Perrette were billed to fight for the light heavyweight cham pionship. The two entered the ring, danced about bit and Perrin made the first pass of the bout, a right hand punch that seemed to graze Perrette' s side The latter fell to the floor and was unable to continue the bout. so Per rin was awarded the championship.

There was a young fellow namel Kane Who seemeI to have pep on the brninj
 He could hit either wny;
 He wns in every play,
 And I know he ain't working in vain If 1t were not for the fact that spring has "came," I would probably shoot myself at sunrise for the above ditty. But shooting ones self spells ones whole day. Then, too, the rhyme helps carry out the features of the days work at Redwood Tuesday. when the regulars lined up against the rockies in the afternoons play, and beat 'en, Az in a six-inning game.
 KANE SHOWS UP WELL
 A great deal hasn't been said or written about young Kane, who is 8 Chicago semi-pro, and who is here for a tryout with the Barons. He ieemh to have been overlooked in the general shuffle at Redwood, but Tuesday, when he was placed on the rockies key stone, he came into the limelight with a rush. He smacked out the first rookie hit off of Kelly of Big Stont Gap Wherever that is), backed up first, third anl catcher; unloaded vast assortment of pep and changed from hitting lefthanded to a righthand position, when he faced Lefty Meeker in the latter part of the game. Not only that, but he hit the ball. too, even though 1t did not go safe.
 Kane may be green and he may be inexperienced, but there is one thing certain. He hasn't gone about the business of trying for Baronial berth in listless fashion, and from Tuesdays indications he plans to fight and hustle until Moley decides he isn't ripe, or decides that he will bear some more looking over.
 BATTERIES
 Meeker and Kelly did the pitching for the regulars. with Gooch receiving, while Frenick and Phil Morrison tossed 'em for the rockies. All the pitchers looked good for so early in .he season, but, of course Moley did not let them uncork any fancy stuff. Each man worked for three innings. and the boy Kelly was putting some- thing on the ball every now and then. He looks like he's rounding into shape fast.
 HITS MADE
 Kane, the infielder; Welsh, the out fielder, and Brandon, the catcher for the rockies. got one safe blow each, welsh's drive going for two bases. Dutch Berrsen got q couple for tho regulars and Kelly the pitcher. also iammed out a safety.

RED MITES VERY INJURIOUS
Insects Lever Vitality, Produce Amaze
mia, Reduce Egg Production and
Annoy Fowls.

Red mites are bloOd-sucking insects
that live in the houses, in the cracks
about the nests, dtoppings boards,
and perches during the day and crawl
onto the bodies Of tile birds at night,
doing serious injury. Red mites low
er vitality, produce anaemia, lower
egg production and greatly annoy the
hens. They can be easily gotten rid
of by painting the infested places In
the house with gas tar, diluted with
equal parts with kerosene, or by carbo-
lineum, or one OF many good CONNER
cial perch paints. It should be kept
In mind that the place to fight the
mites is the house and not the birds

CAUSE HENS To4AY BETTER
Matter Of Feeding During Cold Wealth
er Entails Use Of Large Amount
OF Common Sense.

prepared by the United states Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
On the feeding Of the flock depends
to a large extent not only the general
health of the, birds, but also the
economy which promotes success. 1t
is subject, however, which should be
studied with a large amount Of COM
non sense, for there are no hard and
fast rules which can be laid down as
applying to every case. The price of
feeds and the general environment
should be considered in determining
the right ratiOns, say poultry special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture.
For the largest profit a good pro-
portion of the eggs should be secured
during the winter. If two extra eggs
a week can be obtained from each hen
a good profit will be made, while If
the product is increased By only one
egg q week in winter, this one egg will
pay for all the feed the hen eats. To
obtain this greater production not
only should the fowls be young and
Of good laying breed but the feeder
should have full knowledge Of the
proper feed and its preparation.
The nutriment in the feed Of laying
hens serves a twofold purpOse-to re-
| pair waste and furnish heat to the
body and to supply the egg-making
materials. AS only the surplus over
what is needed for the body is avail
able for egg production, the proper
feeds should be fed in sufficient guam
titles to induce this production.
In supplying feed to fowls there are
three kinds of constituents which
should be present in certain fairly
well-fxed proportions if the desired
results are to be obtained most eco
nomically. These constituents are
mineral, heterogeneous and carbona-
ceous all which are contained in corn
wheat, oats and barley, but not In the
right proportions to give the greatest
egg yield. In addition some animal
feed and green feed should be sup
piled.

VALUABLE TREE FOR SHADE
Planting Of Japanese Walnut Recon-
mended by Experts of the De-
partment Of Agriculture.

The Japanese walnut offers pOssibflf-
ties for landowners who are seeking
to plant nut trees for shade or other
purposes, say specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
is nearly as hardy as the black walnut
and is by no means uncommon in
northern and eastern states, where it
is especially appropriate for farm and
door-yard planting. For the present,
Seeding trees will have to be relied
upon almost entirely, as very few bud
ded or grated trees are available.
This nut has been confused with the
Persian or so-called English walnut,
although the two are quite unlike. The
Japanese is a dwarfish species, with
dull green rough leaflets, often as
many as Is or II to the leaf, and
bears nuts in racemes of a dozen or
more.
The shells are thinner than those
of the black walnut, but thicker than
those of the better Persian walnuts.
The flavor Of the kernels is much like
that of the American butternut.

over large areas, seeding can best be
accomplished by disk seeder, which
cuts into the turf and deposits the
seed. If a disk seeder rs not avail
able, some implement should be used
that will loosen the soil. but not tear
the turf badly. After seeding, dress
ing Of loan or compost should be Civ
en- and the area rolled lightly.
In the northern tier of states re-
seeding should be done early in the
spring. At that time the soil is more
open than later in the season and Of
fers better seed bed. Light rolling
after seeding in the spring is usually
beneficial. Care should be taken when
moving or watering newly-patched
areas to avoid disturbing the young
grass. The care of lawn after seed
ing has much to do with it's success.
In most parts of the country constant
attention Is necessary in order that
even a fair lawn may be maintained.
