mutter with the visitor.

Artificial Hatching by the Incubator
Man has so far mastered Nature’s method of pro
ducing chicks without the hatching help of the hen, that
her feathered majesty is fast being replaced by the incu
bator.
Tleat at an even temperature is provided by fuel.
But it is not a new method. In fact, the ancients prac
ticed it. The Egyptians had their egg ovens, and so on
down through the centuries, the ineubator has been in
use, largelytbeeausc man’s method is more easily con
trolled by man than Nature’s method.
How it. is put to use today is interestingly told by

4 ‘What Will Be the Best Thing To Do
When the "Feds” Go Bust?" Asks
Organized Baseball Magnates
(By Monty.)
New York. —Whenever the Federal
Leagett Is discussed by th# average fan.
tho constant question la “what effect
will It have on the game In general
If the F«da succeed?” The magnates
of organised baseball hold a different
kind of conversation these days when
they bring up the topic of the Foil a
The question they ask Is "what will
be the best thing to do when tho Feds
go bust?"
The moguls of the two old circuits
really are so confident the Feda have
n’t a chance that they already are
planning what to do with the corpse
when the subject dies. Not that they
they have reached any definite conclu
sion of any sort —they have not —but
the matter has been talked over In a
conversational way and several feat
ures of the post-bellum situation con
sidered. A number of different plans
have been suggested to cope with va
rious phases of the problems that will
arise If their predictions of a Federal
League blow-up come true.
The Playar*.
The first element to demand atten
tion Is the player. According to base
ball rules as they now stand, every
man who begins the season with a
Federal league club automatically
blacklists himself from the organized
fold. There need not be any "offi
cial proclamation" to this effect and
there probably will not be. The mere
fact that a man Jumps either a con
tract or the option clause of a con
tract taboos him with the old circuits.
Of course In these war times It Is
possible that any rule may be waived
In order lo steal back players front
the Feds, jut that move has not been
decided upon yet.
If all the men who Jump to the Fed
eral I-eague are on the blacklist by
the time that circuit explodes—if it
does explode—what will become of
them? Will organized ball bar them
for life and turn them Into sandlot
players or farmers or whatever they
can find to do? This, the magnates
believe would not prove popular with
the public, and It also would be a
sort of "bite off your nose to spile
your face" policy, for good ball play
ers are surely assets, and the better
the teams playing, the bigger the
crowds that will pay to see the games.
On the other hand, such treatment ol
the players would be a powerful ob
ject lesson In future for players to
stick by the old ship when new leagues
tempt them. Thus the old circuits
would be hurting themselves somewhat
for the tints being in order to ensure
greater security In the years to come.
Without Blacklist Rule.
But the magnates figure they prob
ably will he able to achieve all these
ends without absolute enforcement of
the blacklist. The way the thing
stands now, there is a little red tape
necessary for a magnate, to take back
a player once declared ineligible. First
the magnate whose contract was
Jumped by the player must apply to
the national commission to consider
his case, and if nobody objects the
player is reinstated. Thus, if all hands
should agree, it would be easy enough
to do away with the influence of the
ineligibility rule when the proper time
came. This Is likely to be done, but
the magnates do not wish to let the
offenders go scott free of punishment.
It is suggested by one of the major
league club owners that the best meth
od would be to arrange a secret under
standing or "gentlemen's agreement”
that would bar all the former jumpers
from ever playing in the big leagugp
again, forcing them to do the best they
can with minor league clubs that work
under salary limits. This, lie opines,
will be the probable disposition of the
matter, which will offer the spectacle
of pitchers like Seaton and Falken
berg pitching to minor league batters
and Joe Tinker batting against minor
league pitchers.
“And don't you think this isn't like
ly to happen soon,” he said. “Of
course there is no way to tell, though.

large number of men specially trained
for the task of administering great un

give an all-round training to young
men which will fit them to fill Import

The Institute will be a municipal in

Only youths who have passed the
graduating examinations of the higher

Time-tables will be so arranged that
students nre free during the months ot
July, August and September to obtain
practical training. Fees are fixed at $75

scholarships for the benefit of special
