the path TO victory
The 6rst game on the card was cap
tured by the Wiley B. Aliens from the
Caikfns nine. The winners showed all
the class exhibited. the Calkins tossers
taking many an aerial ride, the last
which put their opponents on NelNel.
The game went FIVE innings and was a
good warmup for the exciting struggle
that followed.
Pitchers Jenkins and BlOomfeld were
the main performers IN the princlpal
event Of the afternoon. In fact. none OIL
the others had a chance To show any
thing for the first few innings Jen-

and 1t looked as though the Trolley
Dodgers would not come within shout

livery He promptly stole and Hallinan
scored him with bingie TO center. The
latter had hardly set himself on the
initial sack ere Constantine. the big
first baseman, swung through with
triple TO left. which broke the game up.
The fielding on both sides was fast
speed than the catcbers could endure.
and consequently, battery errors figured
largely in the score. Both sides were
supported by hundreds of rOOterS. who
aided by the United Railroads brass
hand. made lively showing throughout
the afternoon. The game went but
seven innings because of darkness.
Billy Incell, the famous old time Hav-
erley pitcher lined the first ball over
the plate in the second game. and Me-

catcher. took il right off the bat. The

Nonsensical Pure Food Rulings.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 We have referred heretofore to the ab- surdity of the ruling of Dr. Wiley that ice cream, so called, must have a fixed amount of cream in it's composition, or it must be ruled out' as ice cream. Yet the cookbook of the navy department issued under the governments seal and approval, contains recipes for the manu- fracture of Ice cream from milk and eggs, as 1t is most commonly made in the household. We have alluded also to the disgusting statements made by Dr. Wiley concerning the manufacture of gelatine manufacturers of the United States; to his ridiculous attempt to prevent the use of the name "corn syrup for a product manufactured from corn and cane sugar and which he cannot deny is pure and of California with bitter protest against the rulings" of Dr. Wiley's board as to the quantity of sulphur which may be used in drying fruit They contend that the maximum allowed by Wiley is only one-third of that allowed in Germany, which has the strictest food regulations in the world. The fruit crop of Califor- mia is so large that to dry it by the nat ural process, as Dr. Wiley insists should be done. would be almost impossible.
 The obstinacy with which Wiley has maintained his right to make rulings that are resented as unnecessary and oppressive and have nothing to do with the purity and wholesomeness of foods and drinks has called down upon the administration the criticism of some of our largest manufacturing industries.
