here will no doubt go into a huddIe
and elect captain to succeed Jerry
Thompson, halfback, who is not ex.
pected to return to football this
year because of pneumonia through
which he has passed since last
season.
The attendant fever and strain,
which such an illness carries left,
jerry in such a weakened condition
that he has not been able to report
here and Lou Little makes no bones
over the fact that he has just about
given UP hopes of having Jerry in
his backfield this fall.

Roland Mackenzie, too. showing
the strange uncertainty OF golf, was
most unhappy with his game before
the tournament started. We played

No doubt, CIaud Grigsby, star

ONE PUNCH
CAN WIN
BY Jack Dempsey

LINCOLN FIELDS RACE
TRACK, H.. Sept. 1.-The differ
ence between a boxer and a slug
ger is that a slugger can win any
old time-perhaps with a single
punch-whereas the boxer generally
must travel the entire route to grab
the verdict.
Jim Corbett, the boxer, had Bob
FitZsimmOns. the slugger, whipped
for Is rounds in their Carson City,
Nevada. fight. In the 14th Bob
connected just ONCE. But it was
enough TO win him = worlds title.
In Coney Island in 1900. the same
Corbett cut the smuggling Jim JEFF
fries TO ribbons for % rounds. Jeff
hardly was able to lay a glove on
Corbett those % rounds of a sched-
uled 25-rOund battle. But in the
23rd. jeff hit Corbett just ONCE
and that ended the circus.
Jack Johnson, the boxer, had Jess
Willard beaten for about % straight
rounds in their Havana fight in
1915. In the twenty-sixth. Willard,
the sluRger, hit Johnson, the boxer.
just ONCE-and that ended the
reign of the only negro that ever
held the heavyweight title.
III concede that Bill Brennan,
whose speciality was boxing, had
me badly outpointed in our 1920
fight for the first IL rounds. But
in the twelfth, hit Bill one mighty
poke in the liver. cuffed him on
the head-and that ended Bills
idea about becoming champion.

EXPERT STATES
EARLY MATURING :
PULLETS BEST

Early maturing pullets possess
greater vitality and win lay n
larger number of eggs during the
first year and very probobly there,
after, says NJ. W. Buster, poultry
specialist in the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, University of Cal,
ifOrnia. Buster makes these state,
ments III Bulletin No. 42I of the
College of Agriculture. which may
be obtained free by writing the
college at Berkeley, or from the
farm advisor office in Ell Centro.
Rate Of Maturity says Buster,
- is a good guage of potential egg
laying ability of single Comb White
L'ghorn pullets in commercial
flocks. The earlier maturing pullets
lay 3 greater number Of each size
OF eggs than those maturing later,
and return q greater revenue from
sale Of eggs than the later matur
ing pullets.
The later maturing pullets are
slower to start and quicker to drop
in egg production.
"The easiest and probably the
best time to segregate pullets is at
four and one half TO six months of
age Or II about the time five
to ten per cent Of the birds
are beginning to lay. Each of the
segregated groups particularly the
later maufing pullets, will develop
much better after segregation.
Pallet segregation should be prac
ticcd bv commercial poultrymen
where il is possible to obtain the
equipment without too much trouble
and expense. Segregation assists in
4 more sytematic and intelligent
cnlling Of the flock, the following
summer; and in selecting the best
birds in the flock for breeding
purposes, since a large percentage
of the strongest and heaviest in
dividuals and the most consistent
egg producers come from the
earlier maturing pulets.
At least 10 to lj per cent of the
latest maturing birds in the
average Single Comb White Leg
horn pullet flock should be culled
out at four and one-halt to six
Of age and disposed Of as
unprofitable egg producers.
