40 Prize Fighting
:. GAME COCKS KILLED
90 Birds, Pick Of New England,
Stage Battle, 20 Survive

Springfield, Mass, June Sixty
samecocks, the pick of the fanciers
from Rhode Island to Vermont, held
a battle royal in a henyard on the
west side of Springfield Tuesday
night, and the next morning the yard
was Uttered with the dead and dying.
Forty of the fine birds were dead and
the twenty that remained alive were
badly wounded. but they were still
able to strut about the field and crow
their challenges to the world.
They killed John Alden, just an or
binary rooster and master of the hen
yard until the invading game cocks
were thrown into his domain who
raided what was to have been the
greatest fighting main ever held in
this state, John is not young roos-
ter, but he became furiously angry
when he saw the spruce and 5aucy
gamecocks strutting around the yard,
with hens fluttering coyly beside them
and he waded into them, determined
to wipe out the bunch.
He didn't, of course. but he must
have put up stiff fight, because the
body of the old family rooster was
found lying beneath a pile of five or
six of the gamecocks. He had liter
ally been ripped to pieces by the
spurs of the cocks, but that they had
got almost as good as he received
was evidenced by their own jagged
wounds and their lifeess bodies.
Old John wasn't quite as good as
perhaps he thought he was, but he
did his best to protect his hen yard
and his harem.
1t did not occur TO the authorities
who confscated the birds and flung
them into the hen yard that it is a
gamecocks nature to fight. and that
he fights with or without bets being
made on his proves. But the birds
were left alone, united, free to roam
and develop their mutual jealousies
and dislikes and crow their chal-
lenges. 1t is likely that the young
hens of the hen yard stirred up the
trouble, but it required few coy f1ut-
terings and clackings of the boosters
to get to fighting among themselves.
Men who would have gone miles to
see two gamecocks striking at each
other in the pits of the fighting main
slept peacefully within a few blocks
of the biggest cock fight it would have
ever been their fortune to see. And
they slept through it all. snoring per-
haps while John Alden battled with
the intriguers and the intruders bat
tied among themselves. and the hens
gathered ma frightened cluster at the |
end of the yard and clacked their |
champions on to a more or less glor-
lous death.
