CITY SERIES MAY
 BE UP THE SPOUT
Falcons Say Red Soz Are Not
 Entitled to Even Split

Whether the Falcons, the Corbin Red Sox and the Kensington base ball teams will meet this year in a play-off for the city championship, 1 is a question that is very much in doubt following meeting of the three managers last night in the Herald" office. At present, unless other arrangements can be made, there will be no championship decid- ed in this city.
 The managers met last week and decided to play a three-team league schedule of nine games and they also agreed on split of the pro- ceeds, the lions share going to the winner, the second place team get ting second money and the third place team taking the smallest share. This apparently satisfied all present. Last night, however, the spokes- man for the Falcons. stated that the directors of the club had empowered 1 them to state that the financial ar arrangements were not satisfactory. They stated that 1t was the opinion of the membership of the Falcons at large that the Corbin Red Sox, being a road team without home grounds, was not entitled to an equal spit with the other two teams which have a home playing field.
 In explanation of this, they brought forth the fact that the Fal- cons have purchased a new home

Largest Purse of Thoroughbred World Draws Only Mediocre
 Field of Horses

Chicago. JuIy St Ps-Display. Waiter J. Salmon's winner of the Preakness, was the favorite in the small field which made the rich re- vival of the American Derby at Washington Park today one of the most unusual incidents in the his- tory of the turf.
 A purse of s10O.000. by far the most handsome in the thoroughbred world, attracted what was consid- cred a mediocre field of II entries for the renewal of the classic of 25 years ago.

this year and are under heavy obli- cations for the rent of St. Mary's field and with the arrangements which were made at the first meet ing, they feel that the championship play would not profit them as much as if they played independent teams about the state. They made a pro- position to Manager John Tobin of the Red Sox and he promptly turn ed it down, refusing to listen to the terms and claiming that he was en- titled to as much as either the Fal- cons or Kensington to an even split on the money taken in at the games.
 The Falcons stated that they would play the Kensington team on any basis agreeable to the South enders because they felt that the Kensington club was under just as much expense as they themselves were but because the Corbin Red Sox were not under any financial obligations for a field they stated that they did not think they were entitled@o an equal split.
 At the beginning of the season, also, they said. the Falcon officers had promised the players on the team a larger share of the proceeds of the seasons play and after due consideration, they felt that by al lowing the Red SoX in an an even split, they would not have enough left to give their players a satisfac- tory sum to keep them with the team. The Falcons cannot take any money out of the clubs treasury for this purpose.
 Manager Tobin stated that he thought he was getting raw deal" He said that he had can celled lucrative games on the road for the remainder of the season be- cause he wanted to accommodate the other teams.

CARDINALS GAIN 4 FULL
 GAME ON WORLD CHAMPS
St. Louis Turns Back New York Giants-Pirates Sue cumb to Phillies- Brooklyn Dodgers Down Chicago Cubs-Browns Bow to Yankees After Il Innings Indians Make it Four Straight Over Athletics Chicago and Red Sox Win Games.
Ry the Assoclated Presse

By the Associated GEesSs
 St. Louis Cardinals, in the thick of the struggle for the National league pennant. again have cut down the margin of leading Pitts burgh and second place Cincinnati.
 The Cardinals gained full game on the world champions yesterday by turning back the hapless New York Giants, to 2, while the Pirates succumbed to tight pitch ing on the part Of Carlston of Phil adelphia to l. The Reds and Braves were idle.
 Flowers, who has replaced Man ager Hornsby at second base for the Cards, joined with Bell, the heavy hitting third baseman, in some long distance slugging. Both hit homers and it was the Fist consecutive contest in which Bell has made at least one safe blow. Douthit had double and two singles.
 Carlson gave Pittsburgh only six hits. one of them a home run by Cuyler. The Phillies punched their singles in the fourth for four runs and scored two more in the seventh, one of which was circuit drive by Williams. ..
 Burleigh Grimes of the Brooklyn Dodgers showed another strong pitching performance in downing the Chicago Cubs, 1 to 1. allowing only six hits.
 The St. Louis Browns fought bit terly but bowed to the New York Yankees after l innings under a hot sun 10 to s. Two St. Louis errors in the final innings lost the game. Ruth and Paschal of the Yankees anL Williams of the Browns hit home runs. It was the ninth straight victory for the New Workers and their fourth straight over St. Louis to sweep the series.
 Cleveland, seemingly fighting in a lost cause, kept pace, but remains nine games behind the Yankees in the race for the American league leadership. The Indians made it four straight over Philadelphia, 4 to 1, all their runs scoring on er- TOTS by Rommell and Hduser. shaute of Cleveland allowed seven hits but kept them well scattered.
 Chicago defeated Washington 5 to 4, in the final game of the series, Catcher Grabowski starting a rally in the ninth with double. Goose Goslin of the Senators made three hits in as many appearances at the plate, one of them home run.
 Boston's Red Sox made it three games out of four from Detroit by timely hitting, to 8, the first series they had won from the Tygers this season. The garnered only six hits of WhitehilI and Halloway but all counted in the scoring.

 Club Outslugs smith
 The Boys club team came out on top in a slugfest with the Smith team on Diamond No. but after the first two innings, the game re- solved itself into an endurance test with the Club batters keeping in an inning until the lineup had batted around. Finally in the eighth in- ming, after the contest had gone for two and half hours, Umpire "Micky' Noonan called it and the Boys club had a victory.
 Dobkowski. after setting down the Paradise Park team, went to pieces in yesterdays game. His control was poor and the Boys club swatters landed on his offerings and knocked them all over the lot. Errors helped along in great measure to give the Club it's big score and when the game was called the score stood 2l to 10 in favor of the winners.
 The Smith team started off in the third inning by scoring eight runs off the offerings of Zujko. Schmarr was called in from the outfield to work in the box and immediately the Club team started to play ball. The Club got only one in the same frame but in the fourth. they scored six the fifth saw them tie the score and in the sixth Dobkowski went West. Albanese tried out the pitch ling stunt. He walked two men and then retired. Villa then went In and lasted only part of the inning. Dob- ikowski returned to the slab and fin- ally retired the side. The Smith team was unable to score until the sev- .enth inning when q short rally brought in two runs. The Club an- swered this with three in their half and then the Smith team batted and the game was called.
 Chester's one hand stab of hard drive past third was the feature while Neveroskis in left field pulled shoe string catch that was a lulu. The score:

League Standing

The willow Brook baseball team in the New Britain Boys League through the wonderful work of its
 star moundsman, Ferony, won it's second game of the season yesterday from the Burritt club. Ferony was Iinvincible through the nine innings and turned in as neat game as has been seen in the league. The Boys club walked away with a slugfest
 from Smith and thereby tied the Paradise Parks in second place. PitC lcS Brilliantly
 With Ferony pitching as sweet a ball game as one could wish for the
 Willow Brooks turned back the Bur ritts by a score of to ]. The game
 was full of thrills all the way with Ferony holding the stage. He turned back seventeen of the Burritts who faced him during the game. He performed like a champ, burning the ball over at a steady pace all afternoon. He was never in trouble for whatever balls that were hit were grabbed in by his mates.
 Ferony established a record in the league for strikeouts which will be hard to pass During the past several games he has brcezed many past the batters and is the strikeout king of the league.
 The game started off in a bad way for the Willow Brooks when the Burritts opened up the game with one run. Quadrilla received a base on balls stole second and count
 ed on a hit off the bat of Pienkow-
 ski. That was all the Burritts got during the rest of the game as
 Ferony shot them across in such manner that the batters failed 10
 connect. As the game went on the
 Willow Brook moundsman improved and sat the Burritts on their ears.
 In the sixth and seventh he famed
 six men in a row.
 The Willow Brooks started off neatly in the first inning but
 double killing spoiled their chances
 to count with runs. The second how
 ever saw them get going and before they were retired three runners crossed the plate. Peretta reached first on an infield misplay, Cianci
 dropped a high fly over the infield and Peretta advanced to second. h. jterference from the catcher placed Schubert on first filling the bases. Folden sent a high fly to centerf1eld, on which Peretta scored. Two singles in a row by Leupold and Hultberg scored two more runs bringing the Willow Brooks total to three. In the fourth they scored another tally while the seventh brought in their 1 la st rnn The Gonre:--

~ FEEDERS Of poultry, realizing that
X high prices will always be paid for
- something entirely new to eat, have
produced strange and succulent fowl,
the "turken" Its father is the turkey
gobbler and the mother the common hen.
Specimens of this remarkable breed
have been exhibited recently at county
fairs, and have attracted much attention.
They are not yet Offered for sale, but
setting" of thirteen eggs may be had
for SO.
The bird is otherwise called
"churkey," which is perhaps better
name. 1t has long, bare neck, which
in the male is surmounted by head dis
tinctly rooster-like. The female is more
turkey-like than the rooster, and the
chicks strikingly resemble turkey ''poults. D."
The male weighs from eight to four
teen pounds, and, like the female, is re-
markedly full-breasted. In flavor the
meat is a blend Of turkey and chicken,
but predomnantly turkey, with finer
and more delicate texture.
II is claimed that the tulBen VIII OuI-
lay any other feathered creature, produc-
ing two hundred or more eggs Q year. The
eggs are big
The fowl is very tame and gentle, and
hardy withal If allowed free range, It
will "get its own grub" not needing to be
fed except in Winter. As an additional
advantage, it is not at all noisy, the
hoarse, subdued crow of the gobbler offer
ing an agreeable and inoffensive contrast
to the raucous cry of the ordinary barn
yard rooster. For this and other reasons,
the breed is particularly well suited for
suburban raising.
II will be understood that, in the origi-
nal cross, the father was turkey gObbler.
There have been instances in which mat
ings of this kind, Of the male turkey with
the farmyard hen, have been productive
of offspring Heretofore, however. It
has been supposed that the erOss-bred
progeny could not reproduce their kind.
Things thought to be impossible are
constantly happening. So now we have
the turken or churkey. If it be up to
the declared specifications il should be an
important and valuable addition to our
breeds of domestic poultry.
In the meantime another domestic fowl,
altogether new, appears on the scene. 1t
is called the "kiwi," and is described as
"a sensation, a surprise, wonder and a
curiosity" Also it is declared to repre-
sent "a new race Of super-chiekens."

Head of a 16-Pound
Turkey Gobbler-the
Father.

As a matter of fact, it does not look
like an ordinary chicken. Snow white, it
is covered with fluffy plumes, and seen
from distance resembles a bunch of
fleecy cotton. A beautiful bird.
Its legs and skin are yellow, its comb
and wattles bright red. The rooster weighs
six to nine pounds, the hen five to seven.
1t is a fast grower and the pullets, often
beginning to lay at the age of four months,
are fine early-Winter producers. The
eggs are cream-white and the meat of the
bird has flavor superior to that of the
everyday chicken.
The plumage of the "kiwi" chicken is
SO beautiful that the birds skin can be
used to advantage in place of fur for
trimmings.
But the most remarkable thing about
this fowl is that it is the only chicken
that cannot fly! A fence two feet high
will keep it captive. Hence it is admirably
adapted for keeping in backyards.
The breed has been newly developed
in California, in the neighborhood of
Santa Cruz, it is claimed, as the result
of a cross between the farmyard rooster
and "dwarf ostrich" of New Zealand,
known in that country as the ''kiwi,"
which has no wings.
Chicken experts of the Department of
Agriculture are disposed to discredit this
claim. 1t would be, as they say. rather
+oo hot l,r
"kiwi" and the barnyard chicken are not
only Of different species. but of different
genera, remote from each other orni-
thologically. But the new bird, whatever
its progenitOrs. really exists.
The common pheasant and the chicken
have been repeatedly cross-bred, but the
progeny, nearly always males, have never
reproduced their kind; likewise the guinea
fowl and the chicken.
The breeders Of turkens quote the his
torian Gibbons as saying, in his rise and
Fall Of the Roman Empire" that the an
cient Romans Toasted on hybrid birds pro-
duced by crossing the chicken with the
Mediterranean turkey"
IL must have been kind Of fowl alto
gether different from our turkeys, for the
turkey is exclusively American by origin,
and was unknown in Europe until the
Spanish cOnquerors carried it to Spain
from Mexico.
The Spaniards, seeing turkeys for the
first time, thought they were kind Of
peacock, and 50 described them in their
writings. Bred in Europe and rapidly
distributed geographically, their descend
ants were, at later day, fetched to this
country. establishing in the United States
the stock originally Mexican, which has,
unlike our own wild turkey, a white
meated breast
There is kind Of turkey native TO
Hucatan which the Department of Agri-
culture is anxious to introduce into the
United States. Though tropical bird, it
might thrive as far north as Virginia.
This is the so-called "ocellated" turkey,
which gets its name from the eye-like
markings sprinkled over the tail feathers

ltS neck and mead bare and
deep blue in color, with
bright red wart-like excres-
cences; its legs and feet deep
red, its wing coverts to match,
and the feathers of its back and
rump skyblue tipped with red.
The species has never been
domesticated, and in its native
wilds it is exceedingly shy, ow-
ing to the persistence with
which it has been hunted. It
roosts in trees, like our wild ~
turkey, building similar nests;
yet, unlike our wild turkey, it
is a denizen of the forests.
Doubtless if not seriously mo-
Tested it would lose much of
its shyness. One of its peculi-
arities is a song that resembles
the rapid staccato pecking of
woodpecker.
One object held in view by
the Department of Agriculture
is that of crossing the ocellated
turkey with our own domestic
turkey. The two species being
nearly related, that should not
be at all difficult. An attempt
is to be made to establish it in Georgi
and the Gulf States, where, accordln
to expert opinion, the climate Is mil
enough to suit its requirements.
The wild turkey readily crosses with tn
domestic variety. In parts of the countr
where the wild birds are plentiful, CROSSE
between them and the farm turkeys al
frequent Often it has happened that
wild turkey gobbler has come out of Il
woods, boldly invaded farmers teri
tory, and captured and walked off wit
a bunch of tame turkey hens after ba
Ting with and killing the gobbler
charge.
On the other hand, it happens now ar
then that a domestic gobbler mates wit
wild turkey hens. Results of such ma
ings have been so satisfactory that the
are much desired by turkey raisers, an
young wild birds are often trapped f
this purpose, to be brought up with cor
mon turkey poults. Occasionally ne
of wild turkey eggs is found in the Woo
and Matched out on the farm. The wi
birds reared in domestication usually pc
sist in roosting in nearby woods or on t.
of the house or barn; yet, when raise
from the egg, they are apt to be less 81
than ordinary turkeys
In the forest, only those turkeys TIL
have withstood hardships and escaped the
many enemies survive to breed, and Their
fore they are the hardest and most into
ligent of their kind. The familiar broni
turkey, largest and hardest Of all dome
tic breeds, is the result Of a wild-cross.
Our tame pheasants frequently mai
with wild pheasants; but that is in no wa
extraordinary, inasnuch as these bird
wild or tame, are of like breeds, havir
been introduced into this country fro
Europe.
Fertile" crosses-those in which Ii
progeny are able TO reproduce their kin
occur only between species or vafieti'
that are closely related. II the relatiO
be not close enough, the offspring, if an!
are mules"
There is much popular ignorance on III
subject. Probably there are some peopl
who actually accepted with seriousness
the jocose idea of crossing the firefl
with the honey bee, in order to make IN
latter work at night. Or even that othe
ingenious suggestion, that the shad b
