Pittston Youngsters Get a Chance to Break into the State League The rejuvenated Plymouth basket ball quint last night before another capaoity crowd defeated Pittston by the score of 15" to 14. The first half the champs were outclassed- from the start, Plymouth going Into the lead shortly after the start of -the game and increased the tally as the game progressed. At half time ''Shawnee' led by 9 points, score 38 to 14.

The second periiul was a repetition of the first, although Pittston put more ginger into their playing. Minus the services of Schmeelk and Fyfe Pittston against the new lineup presented by Plymouth were "easy pioking" and it was only a question of how many points Plymouth would tally. Hoggins, a Pittston boy, was given a tryout at forward in place of Merle Harris, but towards the close of the game he was Injured, "Bucky" Harris taking the position. For the biggest part of the game "Jack" Noll was the only regular in the lineup, the younger set of basket ball gamers getting a ohanoe to show their worth. Noll as usual was the star in the Pittston lineup.

Do not allow the eggs to remain in the nest for long periods, during which tim they are covered by a succession of laying bens, since each ben contributes Varmfh, which. the development of the embryo. When eggs are held more than two or three days, it is well to turn or later their position once a day.

This is done to prevent the yolk from gravitating to the membrane lining the shell and adhering to it The yolk of a new-laid egg- floats in about the center of the albumen, which is rather a dense mass, supporting the yolk by means of this density. Unless the yolk retains this central position until hatching time, the life germ which adheres to the yolk cannot be expected to develop properly. Revolving egg cabinet are made to hold eggs for hatching, and they are very convenient to use. The same results are obtained by packing the eggs in cartons or egg crates, and turning the container over gently each day. Do not allow the eggs to stand in a direct draft, or exposed to steam or fumes of a deleterious nature.

Remember, the shells of eggs are exceedingly-porous, therefore they are. susceptible to the slightest outside influence. Shipping long Distances. If eggs are purchased from distant points and is has been necessary, to ship them by express, or if for. any reason the eggs have been roughly handled, some authorities claim that it is advisable to allow them to rest for about twelve hours before placing them In the incubator or under hens.

resting period is Intended to give the embryos time in which to adjust them-' selves to a normal position before' Incubation is started. The writer feels that this precaution is unnecessary, in that there is nothing to prevent the eggs from resting in an Incubator or under hens Quite as well as in any other place. Moreover, considerable time is saved thereby. In selecting eggs for hatching there is a tendency for breeders to. take chances, on setting all kinds, of eggs, Presumably, the assumption is that there is very little loss even if some of the eggs fail to hatch.

Such reasoning is altogether wrong.

He has also played football. 4HIT WITH THE CAN IS POPULAR SAYING, BUT In basket ball, like base ball, there are sporting writers who murder the English language unmercifully. "Hit with the can" is a favorite expression and one which we are guilty of using at times. It is not original and not copyrighted, but It carries a punch and is an easy way of telling the sporting fans that certain players have passed their usefulness in appropriating money from the coffers of some angel The saying perhaps was first made popular when a big league manager tied the can to his fav orite dog, killing oft the saying of "kick me, kick my dpg." Mischievous youngsters first started the can tielng, and bae ball and basket ball managers put it Into prominence on the sporting page. But the saying, "hit rae with the can" oft-times back Area the same as a flivver machine.

It backed fired on us at Nan-ticoke the other night when George Dahnert, a popular Nantlcoke basket ball player, was made a hero by the fans of that town. Wllkes-Barre at one time had Dahnert in the lineup, and Dahnert we had occasion to say was "hit with the can." Unfortunately the can deorge Keller threw was full of "pepper," and "Billy" Warne, who manages Nantlcoke who was caught in the sugar shortage, made up his mlncf that If his team couldn't get any of the sugar he would put some pepper into his basket ball players. He hired the player Keller had fired, and Dahnert arrived In Nantlcoke in time to turn the crank on "Billy" Warne's basket ball machine. Alter cranking the machine pahnert acted as the chauffeur and he broke all speed records by passing Wllkes-Barre in the second lap and coming under the wire a winner. Now Oeorge Ksller is satisfied that he got the wrong steer and that it does not always pay to travel in high gear.

The for mer local guard was the real hero of the game and his work was praised by fche local fans who saw the contest. The remark wss made that with Dahnert in the local's line-up, Oeorge Keller would have a club that would be almost unbeatable. Keller allowed Dahnert to get away from his club when the shake-up at the end of tbe first season occurred. Dahnert went to Scranton and when that team dropped from the circuit Keller tried to get him back Into the local fold. "Billy" Warne beat him to it, and when Keller wrote to Dahnert, the latter wired back: "I have signed with -the Nantlcoke team." -Chief Mueller, who is a warm friend of Warne's, is the man tipped Nantlcoke to sign Dahnert.

Warne heeded Mueller's advice. Plymouth team last night shewed great work sgalnst Pittston and as usual the auditorium on Gaylord avenue was well filled when play started. Leonard looked good In the Shawnee line-up. Trevor Jones, who waa seise sea a few weeks ago by Oeorge Keller, has been signed by Manager Dougherty, of Jonea has had a stormy career this season, having played with Scranton and the Barons.

WITH THE SCRAPPERS Wsttie Williams, msnsger of WRJie; Ritchie, who will oppose Fr ankle Cal-' lahan, the sensational lightweight at the Majestic Monday night, In letter to the sport editor today expresses himself as confident that his portege will win over the Brooklyn boy. Among other things Williams says: "You can tell the fight fsns of your city that Willie Ritchie has never taken a fight as serious as his coming bout with Frankie Callahan. He is in great condition and the way he pol ishes off his trainers has convinced me that Callahan will have to travel at a fast pace to win. Ritchie realises that this Is the most Important fight of his career and if he is beaten by the Brooklyn fighter there will be no alibis.

have never seen Callahan fight, but know that he will have to have lots stuff to win over my fighter." "Tommy" Quigley this season has not secured any better wlndup artists than Ritchie and Callahan. Local fans have seen the Brooklyn scrapper in action against "Tommy" O'Toole and there promises to be a great turnout see him battle the popular Scranton lightweight. The fight hss not only sttrseted great interest in this city, but from ev-erv nook and corner of the county fans will flock to the Majestic to see this battle. Despite the fact that Callahan picked to win by local sports, Scranton will send a large delegation here who will bet on Ritchie to bring home tbe bacon. Very few, If any, fighters in the eastern part of the State have jumped into promise as quickly as Ritchie.

The latter was always a favorite in seml-windups and fought here on several occasions. He Is the type of a fighter who is willing to mix all the time and his ability to stand punishment made him popular wKh every fan in the Wyoming Valley. When "Tommy" Glnty defeated "Chick" Similar, the Electrto City fans shouted for Eddie Burke to match Ritchie with that fighter. Many fans stated Burke was making a mistake and that Ritchie wouldn't have' a ghost of a show against Glnty. But Wattle Williams for Ritchie insisted on the match, arrangements finally being completed for ten round bout, after Glnty insisted a guarantee of IS00.

It was paid over promptly and on the night of the fight, with the odds 1 to i against him Ritchie outpointed Glnty by a wide margin. Following" this fight "Chick" Simlar clamored for a match and Ritchie again showed he had the goods beating the boy who made a great showing with former champ Freddie Welsh. "Tommy" Ginty, however, was not satisfied with hla showing against Ritchie and asked tor another match. Wattle Williams promptly signed ar ticles of agreement for Ritchie, ana in the second meeting Willie proved his superiority by winning over Ginty in every- round of a 'ten round affair. He has been seen Her with many of the -lesser lights, but Ritchie's performance with Johnny Mahbney, the speedy Hasleton boy, still lingers- In the mlnda of local fana.

Although outpointed In the early rounds, Ritchie forced tbe fighting from start to finish and at the finish of, a1 thrilling six round bout was entitled to a nacn AND $10,000 IN CASH Although Terry McGovern of Brooklyn, is believed to have earned something like $400,000 in his victorious career In the prlie ring, only $10,000 in cash and the title to his late home, at No. 205 Eighteenth street. Brooklyn, remain. Even this money was not his own, but was raised at a benefit for him held eleven years ago in Madison Square Garden. Since then the money has in trust for him with Sam Harris, his old -time manager.

The Jl 0,000 is sufficient to provide for the needs of his widow and his son Joe. Mrs. McOovern will receive the house and $5,000 outright. The other $5,000 will still be kept by Mr. Harris, this time In trust for Joe until ne reaches the age of twenty-one.

He Is now eighteen years old. This division of the estate is according to an agreement Terry and his old manager made before the fighter's death. BOXING BILL PASSED BVankfort, March 2. Following the appearance in the earlier part of the week of Packey McFarland before the State Legislature, urging upon them the necessity of legalising boxing in the State, the Senate yesterday passed the Perry Boxing bill by a vote of 17 to 18. WELSH Almqt from the beginning of poultry cloture, there have been fancier who sought to establish breeds of modeled on the shape and type af the larger or Btandard varieties of "Owls.

The game fowl at one time was fowl" of England henfe it Is natural that bantams of this fowl should be among the first origi- was short -legged, loose feathered, carried a big spread tall and long drooping wings; which paralleled the standard Games of that time. About 1852 the first Game Bantams of good quality were reported, and by 1867 con siderable progress was shown, until By Rpbert ert Pouttrymsn end Writer, fcxpert POuttrymsn end Writer, There is no phase of poultry raising whlch reflects the stamina and qualities of a flock of fowls so accurately as incubation. If the birds are In good huulth and vigorous, and the feeding and housing conditions are as they should be, their eggs will hatch well. If the birds are out of condition, aa 1 the result of careless breeding, injudicious feeding, defective housing and the like, their eggs will not produce satisfactory hatches. Successful incubation, whether artificial or lavi.nl.i rl lection and care of the eggs, as we shall see from tie following It is a mistake to assume that in cubation commences with placing eggs inside of an incubator or under a hen.

If poor hatches are experienced it is wrong first investigating the circumstances preliminary to the arctual hatching process. It is probable that in the eggs. Strictly speaking, the first step in incubation begins in the breeding pens; the second step 1b in the selec- tlon of eggs, which have the qualifications of hatching eggs; and the third Htep lies in (he care of the eggs prior to hatching. All of these factors have a greater, influence than is generally supposed. Beware of Siokly Stock tmnionsense dictates that it is useless to attempt to secure strong off-' tfprlng from anemic, poorly fed, list-loss, sickly or Inbred parent stock, prime hatching eggs are laid by fowls in prime condition.

This is a natural law. Strong, healthy, lively chicks are hatched from prime eggs, and no others. The poultry raiser should see to It that his stock possesses standard requirements for a given variety, and that every specimen is in sound health. Until this condition is established beyond all doubt, hatching Is a Hoalizing the immense advantage of bejng able to pre-deiermine the fertility -of eggs and their sex, from time to time claimiTiaTe made that this lnfor-niatldii can be' obtained through a particular system, instrument or secret.

The, old-fashioned idea that would hatch nnlUu and round would hatch DUllets.

and Ions; or pointed eggs cockerels, Is entirely Without foundation. The shape of an egg is influenced by the contour of the oviduct or organ in which the egg receives its albumen and shell, and this characteristic is peculiar to the indl- vidua! hettr The idea that the position of the air cell indicates sex is equally unreliable. And the weight or specific gravity of the egg Is no indication of sex or fertility. How Speoiflo Gravity Counts. A knowledge of the specific gravity of an egg has certain advantages.

It tends to show which eggs have the best chances of being hatched. For example, there seems to be some correlation between the specific gravity of an egg and the vigor of the hen that laid it; but this observation indicates a state of health and nothing more. Then, too, the specific gravity serves to establish the age of an egg, and this factor, of course, has much to do with the hatching qualities. It has been found that the specific gravity of the (average new-laid egg is 1.09; after ten days it is 1.072; after three weeks 1.053; and after a month 1.036. The importance of selecting none but well-formed eggs for hatching purposes cannot be overestimated.

Not only will such a selection produce bigger hatches, but it will result in improvements generally. Normal eggs are almost certain to produce chickens which will lay normal eggs, while the reverse is equally true. Discard all eggs which are abnormally large or small, those which are too long, too round, flattened on one side, elliptical, wedge-shaped, and those which have any excrescence or ridge. As a general rule, no eggs should be In cubated which weigh less than two ounces nor over two and a half ounces. The ideal egg weighs from twenty-eight to thirty ounces to the dozen.

It is an egg-shaped specimen, nicely rounded at one end With a gradual taper to the other, and having a firm shell of good texture, free from bumps, corrugations and ridges. Be careful not to use eggs with exceedingly thin or very thick shells, or those having invisible cracks, termed "Checks" in poultry parlance. These latter defects can be determined by tapping, the shell gently with one's finger nail or a lead pencil. Do Not Wash Eggs. If eggs intended for hatching are so badly soiled that the poultryman la disposed to wash them, this apparent necessity should tear them as desirable hatching eggs.

By all means avoid washing eggs, because to do so destroys the muscilagenous coating or "bloom," which is intended to protect the egg against undue evaporation, and the entrance of germs through pores in the shell. Badly soiled eggs are not likely to hatch well, because of the matter clinging to the shell, in which case washing might prove somewhat beneficial, but, as previously mentioned, it were better not to use such eggs atT all. If they are used, and. washed, immerse the eggs in alcohol, and then allow them to drain and dry of their own accord. Do not rub them with a cloth.

As a precaution against disease eggs are sometimes dipped in a mild disinfectant. Alcohol may be used for this purpose. 1 Fresh Eggs Are Best. Needless to say, eggs intended for hatching should be set as soon as possible after they. are laid.

Not alone because the neW-lald egg hatches eardier than the egg which is kept a couple of weeks, but because the long--er an egg is held the more evaporation takes place, which subtracts from its vitality. Furthermore, in holding eggs there is always the danger of unfavorable influences. For instance, if the eggs are stored in too low a temperature, the chilling is likely to Injure them. they are stored where It is apt to start and later die. A temperature from fifty to fifty-five degrees has been found 'to be the best, and wherever possible the errs should' rot be r-'l 60 Pub'io Square 0 Main ktM vulcan iron works BUILDERS OF Locomotor, Sreaker Machtn ery, Hoisting and Haulage En Cement Machinery.
