She Didn't Want Ducks
(Boston Transcript

A very green young woman de- cided to start a poultry farm. She bought hen and a setting of eggs. and, having no knowledge of poultry, she wrote to farm jour nal asking how long the egg S would take to hatch. The editor replied: Three weeks for chick ems and four weeks for ducks"
 Some weeks later she wrote again to the paper: Many thanks for your information. However, at the end of three weeks there were no chickens. and as I did not want ducks l took the hen off"

All kinds of reasons were given for
the passage of the rule fer subs. Some
sounded very plausible. but the deep
dark plot back of the thing was that
some owners who did not have very
promising pitchers figured that the
only way 70 combat teams with ex-
cellent pitchers was to put through
a rule by which poor pitcher could
be yarked out of the box the first
moment he showed signs of faltering.
The rule was made in 1901 and when
first put into effect was very unpop-
ular. The fans yelled "bco" whenever
a substitution was made. Now they

BY ROBERT EDGREN.

Jtss Willard seems to be taking the
training for his bout with Floyd John
son more seriously than he did train
ing for Dempsey at Toledo.
Before the Dempsey fight jess
spent a couple of months posing in
moving pictures. He trained just
about enough TO keep up n big appe-
title. He went TO Toledo a month be-
fore the right and FINISHED" his
training there in sizzling hot weather
that didn't help him at all in getting
into condition, although it took off
some fat.
Willard has been doing some work
for several months. and, as work is
the one thing he needed. it's probable
hell be in much better condition than
|at Toledo.
Before he lost the championship,
Willard lived a soft life. Since then
Ihe has been working on a farm. has
hustled in the oil country, and has

khan offset the years added TO his age.

TURNOUT AT GIANT
OPENER FAR BELOW
THAT AT YANK PARK
Colonel Rupert Sees and
Smiles-Looking Over
the Days Events.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

Copyright, by Tho San Antonio Light.
New York, April 27.-The second
day of grand openings gave the major
league clubs which had not previously
paraded before the home fans q chance
to unleash the brass bands and put
on all the frills. Blu, the fans of New
York played their world champs a
scurvy trick. For the first time in
baseball history when 10th New York
clubs owned ball grounds of their own,
the Giants were completely overshad-
owed in first day attendance figures.
Colonel Rupert. part owner of the
Yanks, was a guest OF the National
League club yesterday and he depart
ed from the Polo Grounds with a
smile on his face broader than the
one which decorated it when the fans
piled up such gosh-av-ful attendance
record at the opening the Yank sta
dunn. although his team was thrashcd
at Boston in the meanwhile.
The Yanks are falling back into the
thick of the middle layer of the jelly
cake as early as this. Boston won
from them Thursday because Meuscl
booted a ground hit. The opening
crowd ct Boston was scant but en-
thusiastic.
Matty got fine welcome at the
Polo Grounds. the crowd insisting that
he shamble on the field and be part
Of the show. This he did good-natured-
ly. standing within Go feet of the spot
where he made more pitching history
than any player in the world. II he
had walked back and taken his place
on the mound :he fars would have
gone loony.
The Boston Nationals made five
double plays, Conlon acting as pivot
beautifully. Then he blew high
fly that started Marquard down the
chute.
Branch Rickey and Lee Foil are
great hands to take advantage Of the
rule which permits tho substitution
Of players without limit OF the two.
Hickey is probably the greater chance
taken.
In the first eight games played b.
the Cardinals they have never finished
one using exactly nine players. Twice
Hickey has called on eighteen Of his
squad to show their wares in one game.
In another contest he rlayed fifteen.
