In keeping with a long standing custom of game fowl journals, the following articles all appeared under the nom de guerre or "pit name" of the author.  Pit names can be assumed or conferred by the cocking fraternity.  In the second case, it is usually best to embrace them as an "honorific" and roll with it.
