that they would carry a projectile with
force and accuracy a distance of two and

teed them. The discovery also showed
him how it was that Sergeant Borrowe
could do execution with his gun at SO
great a distance from Santiago.

hibition and the visitors were on their
mettle and did their best to hold up the
reputation Of the players OF Hudson.
The Bensonhurst aggregation were not
as clever as might be expected in view OF
the facilities they have to practice the
national game, and though they looked
formidable enough to the Bayonne team
they failed to win a victory. Bynner, the
Long Island teams twirler. was easy for
the heavy hitting Lincoln players. ana
they started in at the beginning to give
him trouble. The first inning gave the
Lincolns several good hits, but the Ben
sonnurst fieiders did such good WORK that
but two runs were scored by the Lincolns-
Dodge pitched the Lincolns' game and did
first-class work, giving the B~ensonnufst
team but five hits in all. The hrst inning

score, but succeeded in getting one run
home in the second. Then for -four in
nings they were playing without results
while the Lincolns were working hard
enough to score nicely without much trou-
BILE. There was much play the Benson
hurst team made, a double, that seemed
to slightly rattle the Lincoln players. but
they soon recovered. and though the play
worked like a charm the Lincoln team
saw to it that nothing similar occurred
again during the game. Heringditz. who
played first for the Lincolns, did excellent
work. He had ten chances at his posi-
lion and made every one of them, though
at times the throws were wild. Williams
and Dodge worked together like veterans
and several times gave the B~ensonhurst

introduce sequins on to skirts in a bold,
effective manner by means of the sewing
machine, and any number of satins and

are the embroideries carried out with

become stout or thin as she may desire.
In an article in the July Ladies' Home

flesh is merely a matter of food-what and
when one eats. BY following certain rules
largely governing ones diet-Mrs. Rorer
contends thai obesity may be readily
cured. or that the thin will promptly take
on flesh. The treatment. which she pre-
sents in detail. involves nothing that is
unpleasant or difficult-in fact. nothing
but patience, persistence and a little self
denial.
