Pigeon Racing Here Develops
Best Birds In u. S. and Proues
Help as Communications Source

produced the finest birds in the coun-
try. The Capital breeders have
brought about, through their careful
cross breeding, fliers that can sue
cessfully compete with the finest en-
tries that are sent from the English
and Belgian lofts.
Dismer Knows Birds.
A UTHORITY for this is Will Dis
= mer, pioneer in the pigeon rae
ing game in Washington. Dismer has
been putting birds in flight since the
early '90s. He knows how to hoist his
young birds when they are round four
months old. And he trains them from
that time until they get to be six
months old when they are ready for
races.
Disner takes them out to spots from
40 to so miles at that age and sets
them free. His sole idea then Is to
develop the wing power Of the birds.
Once they have their wings In trim
for flights from so to 900 miles, the
Dismer birds are sent out in the big
races.
There's no real money coming back
to the pigeon fanciers Of washington,
they fly their birds solely for sport
But every once in while they de-
velop a bird that is good enough for
the lofts Of the Signal Corps Of the
Army and the Navy. And when they
do that, they are satisfied they have
done a great deed for their country

NOV If you like a little smart In

slider this:
Chubby Dean, our first hitter,
walked In the eighth, giving us a
chance to win.
But Romo fooled Bob Johnson, one
OF our best sluggers, badly, and Bob
popped to Barradas, their first base
man
When Barradas looked out OF the
corner of his eye and saw Johnson
was not running hard, he dropped the
ball purposely, tagged Dean and
stepped on first to double johnson!
Was my face red? Here was a
major team being shown up by Mexi-
cans. I mention this in detail to
show just how rapidly they are catch
ing the fine points of base ball.
Barradas sensed the situation in a
split second and engineered coup
that would have made Gehrig or Kuhel
feel proud.
Still, I was glad it happened, for it
sharpened my players and got them
hopping mad. My infielders and out
flelders soon saw they had to be on
their toes, for the Mexicans act like
Pepper Martins and always try to
stretch hit unless you're alert.

PIGHT now, heading North, I have

But they all know their home.
L It's been going on around
Washington since 1888. They've been
springing birds out of lofts that know
their homes since that time.
There's no trick about it. These
crosses between the tumblers and the
carriers know what it is all about.
They have that homing instinct.
Early next month, there will be re-
leased by the Washington Pigeon
Racing Association some 1000 young
birds. And some 700 will fly their
way back home within two days.
Even the fanciers, the men who
breed the birds and fly them, do not
know what makes these birds come
back to the lofts from which they
are released.
They breed and interbreed these
birds, but they never get the answer.
Old Game in U. S.
THIS has been going on In the
- United States since the early part
OF the nineteenth century. There
were no racing pigeons in this Nation
before the '80s Nobody bothered
about them. Then somebody con-
ceived the idea of crossing the heavy
carrier with the flighty tumbler. The
result was remarkable.
There came out of that cross-breed-
ing a bird that really could fly at q
great rate of speed. Something like
1900 yards a minute. That means
about the speed of two-thirds OF a
mile minute. Pretty fast.
That aroused the interest Of the
homer fanciers And when the homer
a{anciers were aroused, the folks here
in Washington got their heads up.
Now Washington, breeding carefully
from Belgian and English stock, has
