Elizabeth City Nine Plans
to Defeat TcxacO
Beach Club

The Elizabeth City prize dia-
mond performers have been prac-
tising hard this week in prepara-
ton for the big game between
themselves and the TeXaco Beach
Pirates. The baseball contest of
the season comes off on the re-
sort diamond at 3 o'clock Sunday
afternoon, July the fourth.
While the Pirates talk, figure,
and worry over the game Sunday,
the Jays have been busy getting
set to trounce the Pirates for the
third time. Batting drills and
fielding practises have been the
main features of each of these
practise sessions on Hunsucker
Field. Captain Pratt Fearing be-
lieves that if he keeps the boys IN
prime they will easily run over
their opponents without a single
bump.
The Jays were late getting un-
der way this season and have on
ly three games since the current
season has opened. These three
games were against their Sunday
rivals. Two Of these games were
won by the city nine and the
other was slipped from them in
close contest. The more these
leaguers play the better they
seem to get. The Pirates are hop
ing that this weeks practise has
not improved their play like the
practise sessions before the last
game of the series did.
With the slender willow stick
the local team has been swatting
pretty good considering the num-
ber of games played so far

New York -(U,P)-The No. /
comebacker of 1887 is Henry
Grecnbcrg, Detroit Tigers first
Daseman. HankuS Pankus was the
No. l question mark of the Tigers
when they reported for training
at Lakeland, Fla. He broke his
wrist in the twelfth game of the
1886 season.
No one was sure whether he'd
be able to play again. The Tigers
sent him a contract for 81. 1t was
up to Greenberg to prove he could
still play ball. He want in any
too high favor because he had
been a prolonged holdout before
the 1886 season. He had long
wrangle with the Detroit officials
and finally had to sign up at a
figure nowhere near what he
thought he deserved on the basis
of his 1885 record when he led
the league in runs batted In and
total bases.
Grecnberg first hurt his wrist
in the 1885 world series against
the Chicago Cubs. Then when he
hurt it in collision with Jake
Powell, then playing with Wash
ington, carly in the 1886 season,
many persons shook their heads
and doubted if Greenberg would
ever come back.
After his wrist was injured last
season Greenberg hoped to get
back into action within a few
weeks. The doctor who treated it,
encouraged him considerably, and
told him several times that he
thought he'd be back in June. In
June he told him he thought he'd
be ready for action in July. In
July he said he surely could play

The SeabiScuit Is
Nominee For 9rd
Mass. Handicap
Handicap to Be at Suffolk
Downs In Boston On
August Seventh
BY THOMAS ii. NOONE

new 4OTk, July l.-\Od"-EaA-
though horse named Seabiscuit
probably was not aware of the
fact at the time, he virtually as
sured the eastern racing sector OF
100000 race in 1888 when he
drove to victory by a nose in the
historic Brooklyn handicap at
Aqueduct last Saturday.
Seabiscuit is one of the out
standing nominees for the third
running of the $4,000 added
Massachusetts handicap at Suf-
folk Downs in Boston on Aug. 7,
and Charles F. Adams, president
of the Eastern Racing association
which operates that course, has
announced that the value of the
Massachusetts will be doubled
next year if this seasons field is
representative one.
The placed trio in the Brook
lyn are eligible for the MasSachu-
sets and according to present
plans all will be pointed for the
race the richest handicap of the
midsummer season. Aneroid, run
ner-up to Seabiscuit in the Brook
lyn. and winner of the suburban
this year. is certain to seek re-
venge in the Massachusetts. Men,
ory Book, third in last Saturdays
stake, is expected to contest the
Massachusetts, joining the large
Greentree stables New England
division sCCn.
Scabi cult and AnCroid carried
equal weights Of 122 pounds in
the Brooklyn. l. is certain they
will be close to the top of Handi-
capper H. D. Monroc'S assign
mentS for the Bay State classic.
The first three horses in the
Brooklyn are we'll known to New
England raCegocro. ScabiSCuit
campaigned there last season, bus
was in a decided slump and was
sold to C. S. Howard. a San Fran
cisco capitalist, for a comparative
ly small sum. The son of Hard
Tack Just missed the rich purse
in the Santa Anita Handicap last
February when Rosemont beat
him by inches in hard race. An
ercid, bought for a few hundred
dollars as a yearling, first moved
up to stake ranks in New Eng
land. Memory Book won last
years $4,000 Yankee stakes for
3-year-olds which will be renewed
this season Cn July "a. RoSemont,
beaten off in the Brooklyn, was
not nominated for the Boston
special.
The Massachusetts is for g.
ar-oldS and upward at a mile
and furlong. 1t closed recently
with 80 nominations. Top Row,
winner of the inaugural running
in 1885, is training again with the
Boston event as his main objec-
tive. Shark, rated one of the
staunchest campaigners of the
cast, has been named. SceneShift-
Ell. second to War Admiral in the
Belmont Stakes, will also try for
the prize. The gigantic WhoppCr,
runnerup to Top Row two years
ago: MelodiSt, the Wood Memoir
ial winner; Mucho GuSto, Rowe
Memorial winner and F.. L. Flan-
GevS' Biackbirdcr arc the horses
New England will depend upon to
stem the tide of the invaders.
War Admiral, the triple crown
champion, was named for the Au-
gust special, but foot injury
suffered in winning the Belmont
Stakes, will undoubtedly keep him
from the races until September.

Timely Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: Is it possible to tell
how long a chicken has been laying
by the bleaching process?
ANSWER: Yes. In yellow skin
ned birds the yellow color is given
to the fat by a pigment called Kan
thophyll. This is found just be-
meath the skin and as the bird lays,
this pigment disappears in a fairly
regular manner which indicates ap-
proximately the time the bird has
been laying. Bleaching of the vent
shows the bird has layed 2 to 3 eggs.
Where the earlobes are bleached
the bird has been in lay from 2 to
3 weeks. Bleached beaks mean
from 6 to weeks of fairly heavy
production and bleached shanks
show that the bird has been lay
ing from four to six months. The
pigment returns after the birds 60
out of laying in the same order.
