Slow ball playing and plenty of err
rors were the features of the game be-
tween St. Adams and st. Stephens on
the Mount Pleasant grounds yesterday,
the latter winning by l. to 10.
Carelessness on the part Of st. stephen S
was responsible for the clOseness OF the
score. The St. Stephens boys had the
game cinched from the first, but about
the sixth inning began TO play loose, and
in consequence allowed St. Adams 20
bunch I'm FIVE runs in the seventh.
Loose playing was in evidence through
out the game. and a good many errors
were marked up that have nc right to
be there. The boys seemed to be too
sure and would drop the ball and watch
ii roll.
Both pitchers were touched up for
thirteen hits. and a little smuggling was
Iartaken of by both sides. Score:

The idea of inter-city trotting and
pacing races between horsemen of
Washington and Baltimore is growing
more in favor with light harness de-
voices of both cities each day. 1t now
seems assured that they will take place
this summer.
Arrangements are already under way
to have the first meeting take place at
Gentlemen's Driving Park, in Baltimore.
on july (. Fred NJ. Rice, chairman of
the race committee of the Baltimore
Road Drivers Association, suggests that
the Washington horsemen race in Bal
timore on that date. and as the officers
of the local association take kindly TO
the idea it is more than likely there
will be some good sport seen on indie
pendence Day. The only objection to
the date is that there is a prior claim to
1t by Baltimore organization, but it
is thought that can be fixed.
Date Suits Washington.
The date planned for the first meeting
is suitable to the members of the Wash
ington Road Drivers and Riders Asso-
citation. as it will give them ample time
to get their speedway in the best pos
sible condition by the time the Balti-
moreans race here in a return match
Much difficulty was experienced in
getting the local Century Speedway in
shape for the inaugural parade on May

AVOID BAD FOOD.

Fowls are omnivorous eaters; that
IS, they will eat nearly anything, and
it has been demonstrated that food
eaten by laying hens imparts its flavor
TO the eggs. A gentleman noticed his
hens eating freely of onion tops that
had been thrown into the poultry yard.
For several days the eggs of those hens
had such strong onion flavor as TO
be unfit for use. Such food has been
found to impart its flavor to the flesh
also.
1t is important, therefore, that fowls
have access to none but clean, good
food. Filthy slops should be kept out
OF their reach, as should all decaying
and unwholesome substances. Car
casSes of dead animals should never be
permitted TO lie around where the
fowls can get to them. The flesh of
fowls that eat such stuff is not fit
for food, neither are the eggs laid by
tLCni.
