pheasant hen had been killed. or
like my own hens, had simply
got tired of setting on the eggs
and wandered away to other
pleasures.
At any rate, the bantam took
over, and in due time the pleas
ant eggs Matched and there was
a whole mess of little pheasants
running about until they grew
up and flew away to live like
other pheasants.
This incident, according to
Red, proved, or rather demon
strated, for the first time that
bantams could hatch pheasants,
and provided one means for
wlldlife management people to
raise requirements for the wild
game that was being depleted
each year.
There is one point about Reds
story, however, that I don't un-
derstand. He said that the young
pheasants caused the hen con-
siderable anxiety by flying out
OF her reach up into a tree to
roost.
On our place we haven't vet
found bantam that couldn't fly
to the top Of the largest tree we
have. We haven't yet seen a
bantam hen left by her young,
whether they were little bantams
or guinea keets. We have seen
a hen go to considerable trouble
to get her young into a tree with
her, but never the other way
round.
But that is beside the point.
The main thing is that this par
ticular hen started something.
She was the first to sit on pleas
ant eggs, and while incubators
have now largely taken over, she
should have a plaque or a medal

I didn't know there was any
relation between cows and bees
until this spring. Now I know
that you shouldn't have cows
and beehives in the same field.
My cows have taken me right
out Of the bee business. Not
that I was ever a very serious
bee man. but each year I threat
ened to take off some honey. at
least next year.
You should see my bees now.
The cows have turned over every
hive. scattered the contents over
the ground and presumably eat
en- the honey. The wreck is
complete. and so far as I can
find, the cows didn't get a single
sting.
It was the big, red heifer that
did 1t, I am sure. She is the
leader when it comes to getting
into trouble, and now she stands
casually looking me over and
calmly chewing her cud.
She doesn't care a bit, and I
am forced to admit that I don't
much care either.

Is one as good as another?
When you visit your garden sup

All this occurred when Red,

SCRIPT this season..
The All-Highs have three
boys, Wilson's Lon Herzbrun,
Westerns Jim WeXler and
Coolidge's Ardie Baker, who
averaged over 20 points this sea-
son. The All-Preps have two
st. Anthony's Jack Sullivan and
Kendall's John Miller.
WeXler, Herzbrun and Baker,
by the way are the All-High
only repeaters-they all played
we'll in last years game-While
the All-Prep have only Ralph
Hawkins of st. Johns, who saw
action in the 1852 event.
Besides the natural competi-
ton between high school and
prep school boys, the scholastic
stars will have another incentive.
The proceeds of this game, spon-
sored annually by the Big Broth
ers Club, help raise funds to
complete the building of the
new Western Branch of the Boys
Club of Washington-certainly a
fine project.
Seven of the players partici-
pating were former athletes at
the Boys Club Western Branch
when they didn't have the facili-
ties now made possible by the
Big Brothers annual game.
These boys, Herzbrun, Wexler,
Baker, Hawkins, Phil Perlo and
Bill Wright of Roosevelt and Bob
Rusevlyan of st. Johns, are
especially glad for a chance to
aid their alma mater.
One of them could easily be
one of the games outstanding
players, and honor held by some
fine scholastic performers-Jack
George, Bob McLindon and Bob
Reese of st. Johns: Hal Spons-
lor and Jimmy Pantos of Central
and Bill Breen and Snookie Ker-
nan of Tech, among others.
It's a fine game for a fine
cause and should pack Fort
Myers gym.

roofing interest in three State
tournaments this week end.

Gene Smith Tackles
Rugged, Bigger Foe
In MagIieri Tonight

Gene Smith. a hard hitting
youngster who lowered on the
threshold of featherweight star
dom before stubbing his toe,
moves out of that class tonight
to take on rugged Al Maglieri,
Hartford, Conn, lightweight, in
a 10-round co-feature at Tur-
ner's Arena. 1t could be the be-
ginning of a new chapter in the
Negro youngsters career.
The other half Of top billing
goes to Jimmy Cooper, another
featherweight, who has been
matched with Kayo Diggs of
Baltimore, in a siX-rounder. Pro-
moter Vince Mcmahon has ar
ranged a good supporting card
starting at $3.50.
Mcmahon presumably hopes to
bring Smith and Cooper together
in one of the early outdoor shows
at Griffith Stadium, but much
depends on their performances
tonight. Maglieri, for one. could
foul up Vince's carefully thought
out plans.
Maglieri. a protege of former
Featherweight Champion Willie
Pep, will have a 5-pound weight
advantage. He is rated a good
catcher" on his home grounds
where the fans point to two
tough fights with Pat Malone
as evidence. Malone has Is
knockouts in "a fights, but had
to be satisfied with a draw in
each of his bouts with Maglieri.
The Italian has had 81 pro-
fessional bouts and has lost only
two.
The co-features could be over
shadoWed by a six rounder be-
tween Clarence Hinnant, Dis
triet middleWeight, and Johnny
Pratt, former all-Army welter-
weight champion.
