The average fan
>-~ would probably
think II over and come back with a
guess of somewhere between IL and
20. Not so, gentle reader A certain
cigar man In Detroit would lay you
juicy odds on that proposition. He
knows, too. And there's a reason for
that knowledge.
Shortly before the Tigers started
what proved to be their second per-
nant-winniHg campaign, the Arm of
II. & j. Mazer-the latter the famous
basketball player-offered box OF
cigars TO any Detroit player who Sc
cured such a perfect record. whether
at home or away. There was just
eight occasions when an athlete came
around and cashed In on the smokes.
Strangely enough. neither Crawford
nor Cobb-the demon sluggers of the
outfit-were among the choice eight.
In fact, the honors were hogged by
four OF the men. as follows:
April 17-Schaefer. five hits out of
FIVE times at bat.
May 3-McIntyre, one ait out of one
technical time at bat.
Aug. 5-McIntyre, one hit out of one
time at bat.
Aug. 9-Rossman, two hits out Of
two times at bat.
Aug. 9-Rossman, three hits out of
three times at bat.
Sept. 4-McIntyre. four hits out OF
four times at bat.
Sept. 26-Schaefer, three hits out OF
three times at bat
Sept. 29.-Schmidt, one hit out Of
one time at bat.
The Mazer offer is open again this
year and already there has been one
claimant for the smokes. This Is
Schmidt who. on Sunday, twobases
twice out OF three appearances at bat
getting an exempting sacrifice hit on
the other occasion he faced Wright OF
Cleveland.

No Cheating Here.

With such fine actor as Eugene
Moore, and his excellent supporting

Milton Royle's play "My Boy

The opportunity to see one of the
best productions of the season will
be given at the Opera House an

by Eugene Moore as the star, will
present "My Boy Jack" by Edwin
Milton Royle. Both Mr.. Royle and
Mr.. Moore are widely known, Mr..
Royle as a leading dramatist, and
Mr.. Moore, as a leading actor.
With play by such writer, and a
Company headed by Mr.. Moore,
little more may be said to recon-
mend it. Throughout his career as
leading man and as a star, Mr..
Moore has maintained his position
as a worker for the best the stage
can offer, and his excellent taste in
staging plays has been used in this
production. His performance OF
"Jack Paden," is one of the most
fascinating creations of the stage.

The Frog Industry of France.

1t is in France that the frog was first
2eneI ally used for food and it is in
that country that the industry of frog
farming has been most largely de-
veloped. The green frog exists abuu-
dantly throughout France wherever
there are marshes, ponds, or sedgy
margins of rivers or bays that contain
fresh or slightly brackish water. Dis
GUESSING the subject, Popular Me-
charics says:
The best outfit for frog raising IS
one or more shallow ponds or reser-
voirs. filled with grasses and other
water plants. 1t should be so situated
that the water can be partially drawn
eff. so as to facilitate the labor nf
catching. If. as is often the case, the
pond already abounds in frogs, they
are simply protected and left for d
year or two to propagate. If food does
not prove abundant the owner throws
in live earth worms, as the frog is a
carnivorous animal and prefers the
food. whether worms larvae or insects.
