CINCINNATI. Ohio, November 81
That the fear of syndicate base ball will
move Presidents Robson of st. Louis and
Dewey of Boston to vote for President
John Heydler for reelection to the lead
ership of the National League is the
statement authorized today by President
Garry Hermann of the Cincinnati Reds
and chairman Of the national commits
sion.
He says. though. these men are against
corporations owning base ball clubs and
that they will absolutely fight to keep out
of it. He says that previous efforts TO
have a corporation represented on the
base ball diamond have always proved
futile and unworthy, that there are so
many men interested In the club that
thew all want to say how it Is run, ana
that the players themselves will not work
as hard when this plan is used as when
the club belongs to one or very few
men
president Robson of the st. Louis club

vote for John Heydler or John NJ. WARD,

Grasshoppers for the Table.

Big grasshoppers, such as grow fat
aad buzz loudly in the Orient, are
looked upon as table delicacies in the
Philippines.
There are several methods used by
the natives for catching grasshoppers.
The most effective is the net. This
is large butterfly net, arranged with
netting placed over hoop, and to the
latter Is fixed long handle.
The hopper is first so thoroughly
dried out in the heat OF the sun or in
the bake oven that there is nothing
left that is really Objectionable, and
nice crispy article Of food results.
This tastes sweet of itself. and some
thing like ginger biscuits. The natives
usually sweeten the grasshopper
more by using a sprlnkling of brown
sugar. Then the confectioners make
up grasshoppers with sugar choco-
late trimmings, and colored candies
in such way that very nice t,st-
ing piece of confectionery is obtained.
The housewife Of the Philippines
takes considerable delight in placing
before you nice grasshopper pie or
cake. The grasshorper pie is the
most wonderful dish. as the big hop

that Jap mothers used to recite its

his attention exclusively to the

At the same time he placed himself
at the service of the young man, who,
mounted on the frogs back, was able
to leap across rivers and to travel at
great speed on land, these superior
facilities of transportation making it
practicable for him to rob usurers and
