Judging from letters received
from readers of these articles the
eubiect of turkey raising is upper
most in the minds of thousands OF
naoDle. Therefore in answer to nu-
merous requests 1 am going to de-
vote two or three more articles to
that subject.
Turkey raising is profitable. 1t IS
not nearly so difficult as most peo-.
Dle imagine. True, the number OF
turkeys produced on farms in the
United States has had a steady de-
cline for the last forty years. Like
the recent slump of the stock mar
ket. it would appear the bottom has
been reached and am hopeful that
turkey raising will about face and
regain its lost prestige.
Two things tend to discourage the
raising of turkeys. One is the dread
of the disease known as Blackhead
The other is the mistaken idea that
turkeys must have a wide range Of
ground to roam on. shall discuss
both of these subjects in subsequent
articles, and attempt to show how
Blackhead can be avoided and tC
correct the idea that turkeys can
not be raised in confinement. But
first let us consider some of the
essential things in starting a tur'
key flock.
In selecting a breed consideration
should be given to size and weigh
for after all turkeys are raised tol
meat production. The Bronze varie
ty seems to be the most popular be
cause of its size. It is sometimes
called the Mammoth Bronze. Othe,
popular breeds are the White Hol

No such word as "alright" is rec

"all right" For a period during the
18th and 18th centuries-before the
invention of printing-"alright" was

been previously used and it has been
regarded as the correct form ever
since. A large number Of writer's

WIN OVER DODGERS
MAKES CUBS COCKY
Mccarthy and His Men Con-
fident They Will Keep
League Leadership.
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOClaJe0 RIeSS.
CHICAGO, August 13.-Broad, smiles
wreathed the faces of Manager Joe
Mccarthy and his bristling Cubs today
as they faced the staggered Brooklyn
Robins in the second battle of the four
game series for the whip seat in the
National League pennant drive.
To a man, they believed they were
"in." They believed they had toppled
the Robins from first place for good
this year.
well, think we've started at last"
Marse Joe said with an infectious
chuckle. We've thrashed the Robins
right out of first place and supplanted
them ourselves. Our pitching has re-
turned to its effectiveness of 1929 and
we have a long home stay ahead to
fortify ourselves for the final swing
around the circuit next month. Our
big chance to sew up the pennant is
here"
Another reason for McCarthy's OPP
timism can be seen daily now swinging
his bat in batting practice. 1t is
Rogers Hornsby. The Rajah is i'm
proved and all but ready to take his
turn at second and at the plate, at
least as a pinch hitter. His fractured
left ankle is all but healed.
Guy Bush or Bob Osborn expected
to get the pitching call against the
Robins today. while Watson Clark was
believed to be Uncle Wilbert Robin
sons choice. Another record crowd
also was expected Forty-flve thousand
spectators damned Wrigley Field for

JOCKEY WHO BREAKS LEG
GETS KINGS COINCIDENCE

LONDON, August 13.-Steve Donog-
hue, celebrated jockey who six times
has ridden TO victory in the English
Derby, broke his right leg in two places
when he was thrown during a race at
Nottingham Monday. The accident
may vitality affect his future career.
Among many kilograms of sympathy re-
ceived yesterday the two most priced
were from King George and Lord
Derby.
Although yesterday Donoghue was re-
ported doing well In a Nottingham hos
pital. the mishap probably will keep
him out of the saddle for some time.
He broke his left leg last year at the
Salisbury races and a few years ago
was badly hurt in the Paris Grand Prix.
Yesterday there was talk in sporting
circles of the possibility of his retiring
as a jockey to become a trainer.

not have been much more of
"bucko" than Ethan Allen of the
Giants, who is feet tall and tips
the scales at around 1870. Maybe at
batting the Revolutionary hero might
have improved on the marks of the
former Cincinnati player. for Ethan
Allen hit less than 300 for four
years with the Reds (.308, .295, .305
and .292), but I'll bet the modern
Allen could easily outscore the old
timer in a foot race around the
base paths or at chasing flies hit to
the outfield.
Ethan Allen was born on New
Year day, 1904, and attended the
University of Cincinnati before join
ing the Reds. McGraw got him
with Pitcher Pat Donohue in trade
with the Reds. With OFT, Leach.
Reese and Fullis on the job, not to
speak of Harry Rosenberg, the
Giants have a capable and versatile
outfield staff. Allen bats and throws
right handed, and is as fast as they
make 'em, both in the field and on
the base paths. He is a high-class
and most likable young man.

PUGS' GREED KILLS
OUTDOOR PROGRAM
Garden Drops Its Plan for
Several Shows Because of
Heavy Demands.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

NEW YORK, August 13-New York
is the only fiStic center in the country
that has produced any big gates during
the current outdoor season, and now, 1t
seems, there may be no more open-air
programs here because of the exorbi-
tant demands of the fighters.
The Garden Corporation had planned
to stage two big shows in September,
but unless the gladiators moderate their
demands there Is likelihood that there
will be no more outdoor events. Ac.
cording to Frank Bruen and Tom Nc
Ardle, whose duty it is to line up the
program, they will lay of until the
Garden is thrown open late next month
unless the fighters are willing to listen
to reason.
1T is hard enough to show a profit
when we have to shell out so per cent
for the main event alone" says Nc
Ardle. 1.-THE ball park collects 1919 per
cent for rent and the preliminaries cost
another 1912. That leaves only IS per
cent for promotion and other expenses.
when one fighter insists on 40 per
cent and another must have 20 to 22k
per cent before he will sign, you can
see that we would merely be trying to
break even even if we promoted show.
There is no sense in working on such
a basis.
"They are all alike. Every leading
fighter has a manager who thinks it Is
his duty to be cute to get more for his
fighter than the bout is worth. 1t has
got so now that a challenger is not
by the commission There was time
when a fellow would be willing to work
for nothing to get a shot at the title.
Now they are all trying to be cute.
Maybe they can find some other
promoter who will be stupid enough
to give away 60 to IS per cent for Q
big match. There have been such suck
ers. but they never lasted long"
Several good matches are waiting TO
be made, but unless the boxers are more
reasonable they will go by the board. A
Singer-Berg fracas for the lightweight
title would fit in nicely. A Singer-Mc-
Larnin or Berg McLarnin scrap would
do good business at the gate. Among
the heavyweights. Stribling would be
good for big gate If paired with Cam
polo or Sharkey. According to McArdle
every one of the fighters mentioned
wants more for his services than the
Garden can afford to pay without going
into the red ink.
The queer part of It's all Is that
often the boxer who demands the
equivalent of 100000 to box here
will go to Chicago or somewhere else
for half that much. The writer never
has been able to understand how .
manager can figure that $4,000 In
Chicago, for instance, is worth more
than 5000 in New York. Yet that Is
the system on which some, of them
operate.
Chicago may stage the big heavy
weight attraction in September, with
Sharkey deserving the Garden forces
to box Primo Camera at Soldier Field.
There is some excuse for that, as Car
nera is barred In this State and any
one who wants to fight him must go
elsewhere.
