BALTIMORE, Aug. Those engi-
neering the plans for the organization
Of an athletic association among the
clerks In the employ OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad report matters run
ming along smoothly. and are confident
| that before another weeks rolls around
I they will at least have secured a tenn
porary clubhouse
Dnring the past week the executive
committee of the temporary organiza-
ton appointed a committee TO look out
for home for the club, and this latter
committee has already visited several
sites well adapted TO all forms Of ath-
letics and suitable to the needs of just
such club as is proposed.
Probably the most desirable of the To-
cations so far considered is what is
known as the Franklin Davis nursery
property, situated on the south side of
the railroad, between Halethorpe and ST.
! Denis. This would probably make an
| ideal site for the proposed clubhouse.
| The railroad owns the property, which
takes in about e57 acres. extending from
the tracks through to the Patapsco
River. and only very few acres are at
present occupied.
This Looks Good.
The land has one Improvement on 1t. a
| two-story stone building. which. al
though not adapted for a clubhouse.
might easily be transformed into bath
house and fitted out with locker-rooms.
A club house on this site would be at a
reasonable distance for all local clerks,
/ and, on the whole, the site has many ad-
| yantages. and is being considered very
favorably by the committee.
| The main objection TO the nursery
| property is that it does not afford ample
! facilities for indulgence in rowing and
/ other water sports. Some of the mem
/ beTs prefer a river site. and a large
| piece OF ground on Back River is prob
| ably receiving most attention.

no more. Drill was hitting at a .255
clip. and Bill swatted the sphere at $50.
This leaves big Huelsman the leading
batsman OF the team. with an average
Of .271. An idea Of how Huelsman has
been hitting may be gathered from the
fact that when he came here from st.
Louis his average was only 200. Next
10 Huelsman comes Jake Stahl, who has
pulled up TO .243. Kittredge is only one
point behind him. Then come O'NeIN

ATTEST NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE DAY IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
Improved Work ShOWn
By UnIucky Senators
New Men Develop Into Good Players, But
No Thanks to JohnSon-PiCking
Up in Their Hitting.

The Senators put up a much-improved
game last week. and as the team has
now struck better gait II should make
the others extend themselves from now
on.
These two essentials which were so
manifestly absent at flrst-batting and
team work-have been acquired. and as
a result the team has been able 10 win
a few games recently.
1t can be said without eXaggeration
that the lnfeld presented by Washing
ton last week was as fast as any in the
American League. Stahl, Cassidy,
Coughlin. and Mccormick each played
championship ball. Cassidy. IN particu-
lar, starred in his position. Every man
back of them played fast and brainy
ball
Donovan Has Helped.
Patsy Donovan. always scientific
player. has whipped them into shape
and no bull-headed work was seen. But
that infleld has now been broken up.
Coughlin has been sold 10 the Detroit,
and will don the uniform OF the Tigers
this afternoon. Hunter Hill. the Texas
boy who played such a good game for
the Senators in right field. will be Bills
successor. and it is to be hoped that he
will TT in nicely. Hill played finely for
st. Louis last season, but this year was
erratic and ranked last among the
third sacKers in fielding. he is fast
and squeezes the balls knocked his way,
but his arm IS too strong and he can
not regulate his throws.
In Cassidy Washington has picked up
as good a player as has been developed
this season. He leads the short flelders
afield and IL is safe 70 say that he has
no superior at that position. He is a
sure fielder and thrower and covers
more ground than any infielder in the
league except Freddie Parent. In addi-
ton, he uses his brains, thinking quickly
and always making the proper play. He
is a great Improvement over Moran
Cassidy Now Smuggling.
Cassidy has become almost a 300 hit
ter. True, his average now is only rs,
but he has been batting strongly for the
past two months. Before that he could
not locate the bali. and his weak hitting
In the first part Of the season has kept
down his average.
Stahl has developed into another ex-
cellent player. he suffered the same ex-
perience at batting as did Cassidy, but is
now a terror TO the twirlers. He gobbles
up all kinds OF throws TO the initial
sack. plays a deep field. covers much
ground, and is a daring base runner. In
regard 10 his base running abilities Ban
Johnson says of him: Senator Stahl is
the best base runner in my league. He
has all the dash and daring OF the old

Care of the Broom.

Many housekeepers, who are eco
nomical and careful of most articles
pertaining to the household, abuse
their brooms shamefully. A broom
may be made to last much longer
if properly cared for. In the first
place, select broom which is made
of fine, even straw, of a greenish
tint. That which is yellow had be-
come dead ripe before it was har-
vested or broken. This will gener-
ally be found cOarser. Be sure that
the brush is a natural green, and
not colored. When sweeping, do not
push the broom ahead of you, but
draw it towards you in even strokes
without bearing heavily upon it. Keep
the brush level upon the floor, as
leaning the broom handle towards you
bends the brush over and soon it
has all run to a sharp point at one
side, making it almost entirely worth
less. After sweeping a few strokes
turn the broom with the other side
toward you. If you have tendency
to run broom over this will help
to keep it straight. When through
sweeping, stand the broom upon its
handle, or better still, make small
hole through the handle and insert
a string loop, by which the broom
may be hung up when not in use. 1t
is surprising how much expense may
be saved by a little care and the
careful habit" is easily formed. An
other thing to guard against is the
tendency to permit the broom to stand
or hang near the stove or the hot
water tank. This soon destroys the
vitality of the straw, making it brit
tie and easily broken. Put the broom
in a cool p4ace.-Ed.1

digestion experiments, in which bread
and toast were submitted to the action
of malt diastase. Under uniform con-
ditions, in a given time, 14.6S per cent
of the starch of bread was rendered
soluble or digested, as compared with
21.3S per cent in the case of toast. In
other words, the starch of toast, /. e.,
the principal nutrient in it, is appar-
emily more readily digested than the
starch of bread.
The fact that toast is somewhat
more readily but not quite as COM
pletely digested as bread does not de-
tract from its value as food for in
valids and others who require steril-
lied food, but it suggests that, as far
as the availability of the nutrients
concerned, the bread is to be preferred
to the toast.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-10-15
Bread and Toast.

Toast is a favorite article of diet,
especially with English-speaking races,
being quite commonly considered more
digestible, and, by many, more palata-
BILE than untoasted bread. A similar
article, zwelback, enjoys much the
same position in the diet of the Ger
mans and some other races.
H. Snyder, at the Minnesota expert
ment station, studied the comparative
composition and digestibility OF bread
and toast The bread was made from
straight-grade patent flour, and the
toast was prepared from the bread
after it was twelve hours old. 1t was
first dried in the oven and then toasted
in the usual way with wire toaster
Prof. Snyder found that the main diff
ference between bread and toast, as re-
CARDS chemical composition, was in the
water content, the toast being much
drier than the bread owing to an evap-
grafton of water during the process or
toasting.
AS regards changes in the nutritiVe
value due to toasting, it appeared tina,
the character of the nutrients, part1cu-
larly the carbohydrates, was more
markedly affected than the percentage
amounts. The heat employed changed
a part of the starch to dextrin, a solu-
BILE carbohydrate. On the other hand,
the proteids were changed to less solu-
BILE compounds.
Digestion experiments were made
with man on diet of bread and milk
and toast and milk, which showed that
on an average ST. per cent OF the pro
tein of the bread was digested, as com
pared with 84.7 per cent in the case OF
the toast. AS regards the digestibility
of carbohydrates, the two rations were
much alike, somewhat over 81 per cent
being digestible in both cases. A SINH
lar agreement was found in the case or
energy, over 81 per cent of that
piled by both rations being available
for the needs of the body. These
values show nothing of the rate or
comparative ease of digestion, but
these points were studied by artificial

one teaSpOonful soda dissolved in a
scant cupful of sweet milk, half tea
spoonful of salt, one cupful wheat
flour, steam two hours. Add spices as
desired.
Spice Cake.
One cupful of light brown sugar,
one-half cupful of butter, two large
eggs, beaten separately, one-half tea
spoonful soda, one teacupful of chop
ped raisins, one teaspoonful of cloves,
one teaspoonful of cinnamon, a little
grated nutmeg; add flour enough to
make a stiff batter. Bake in one loaf.
Sore Throat.
When the cold weather comes on
do not begin wrapping the throat too
closely 1t will be noticed that the per-
around their necks are almost invari-
ably the ones who suffer most with
sore throat. This arises from the fact
that the heavy wrappings make the
neck and shoulders too warm, the
clothing becomes dampened with pers-
piration and when the wraps are re-
moved one is sure to catch cold.
When the throat is sore wet one
end of a towel in cold water and fold
around the throat covering the wet
portion with the dry end. Apply just
before going to bed at night and re-
move in the morning. Gargle the
throat with cold water in which
little baking soda is dissolved. The
throat will be well in the morning.
If the neck and throat are washed
frequently in cold water there will
not be much danger of sore throat.
Care of the Dish Cloth.
What is so offensive looking as
soiled dirty dish cloth? Besides be-
ing unsightly they are dangerous, dis
ease and death Turk in their folds.
If they are allowed to lie in an I'M
cleansed condition they become the
breeding places of disease germs, and
emit poisonous odor. In fact it will
become like the neglected kitchen sink,
a hotbed of disease. Those who do
know the laws of health and hygiene
do not realize how great is the danger.
Keep on hand plenty of clean cloths
and when one begins to look the worse
for wear, burn it and take another.
The dish cloth should never be laid
aside when one is through using it,
but it should be thoroughly washed
with soap, rinsed in hot water to

School Lunches.

School Lunches.
Children living in the country must
of necessity carry their lunches VIII
them to school, and it is no easy task
to prepare lunches for every day, IN
the school year, without giving the
same things so often that they become
very monotonous to the child. The
lunches should be prepared the day
before Study to make 1T as attractive
and appetizing as possible. Have
clean bright tin pail for each child
and a fresh napkin in each pail. So
many children have no appetite when
attending school and they must be
tempted to eat. I have seen children
go to their play at the noon hour with
out tasting their food and wnen see
ing later, what had been prepared for
them to eat I did not wonder they
left it untouched, few pieces of
bread and butter and some pickles,
was all that had been put up for them,
no napkin and not even a cloth in the
bottom of the pail. If napkins are not
at hand a nice clean piece of white
muslin may take it's place.
Bread must, of course, be part
of the lunch each day but even that
may be varied by making sandwiches.
The bread should be cut thin. Any
nice tender meat sliced very thin
makes a good filling for sandwiches,
as does fresh fish (boned), pressed
chicken, grated cheese with a light
dressing of mustard, or the yolks of
hard boiled eggs, mashed fine, with
little dressing also split raisins make
a delicate filling. A little fresh fruit
should be used every day and occa-
sionally a slice of nice sponge cake
or a piece of gingerbread and a few
pickles may be added.
Arranging for Vegetable Salads"
In country places, where lettuce
cannot be obtained in the winter,
chopped celery and apples with French
dressing make an ceedingly nice
salad, or finely chopped cabbage and
apples, or chopped cabbage and celery,
or even cabbage with celery seed. One
good solid head of cabbage should
make at least five meals for family
of two. 1t should be marked into fifths
the portion required for one meal Ia
ken out, and the rest of the head kept
as compact as possible or it will dry
and lose it's color. In buying lettuce,
which at certain seasons of the year
is rather expensive, the inside white
part may be used one day for salad
and the green or outside part be mixed
with celery and apples for the next.
The water in which chicken was boiled
may have noodles added to it for soup.
When buying mutton the shoulder is
perhaps the cheapest and best for
small family. The first day have it
boiled. Save the water in which it
was boiled to use for soups and sauces
the day following. AS a clear tomato
soup will be better to serve on the day
on which you have the mutton the
meat which is left over may be di-
vided and made into three dishes, at
least. Cecils and mutton curry with
rice make exceedingly nice luncheon
dishes. while mutton pie with bis
cult crust makes a good dinner dish.

Frank Anderson may be youthful in

the office during his prolonged absences.
Mr.. Murphy was business man

stake in the selection of a deputy than
anyone else could have, both financially
and politically. Mr.. Murphy never re-
GREETED his choice and if it had been pos
sible before his death he would doubtless
expressed his preference for Mr.. Ander-

Mr.. Anderson has been the servant of

has been heard except that he is young.
Well, he is two years older than he was,
and has two years of experience and
knowledge that he did not have before.
He has done well; he is now equipped
by age and experience so as to do
better. His two years of experience
ought to make him at least equal to his
opponent who has age, but not the expe-
