CAKES MAKE TOWNS FAMOUS
Places in Germany That Are Widely Known on Account of Delicacies

There are several places in Ger many which are almost chiefly fa- nous for producing some variety of cakes which are "christened' after them. Liegnitz itself is one, and an- other is Waldbockelheim. It stands near Kreuznach and has a popula ton between 600 and 700, a large percentage of which are engaged in making what are known as "Wald- bockelheim, or honey cakes,' a very tasty form of bakery ware which in spite of the smallness and out of the way character of the place in which it is manufactured enjoys a sale among Teutonics in all parts of the globe. 1 may mention also Ebers- walde Thorn in east Prussia, AiX-la- Chapelle, Kottbus, and Freiburg, all towns, except the third, which are wellnigh principally celebrated to- day for providing some kind of fes- tival "geback," the first yielding us "Spritzkuchen," kind of doughnut (but tiner) Aix-la-Chapelle ''Prin- ten" sort of spiced biscuit Kott- bus, rich cake called, from its re- semblance to a tree trunk, ''tree cake," and Freiburg biscuit twists of the class known here as "Brezel." !"

 Bill.

 July 28.

NORMAL LOSES TO HENDERSON
Very Pretty Game Goes to the

 Caused by Err0rs.

The fireworks were started in the first inning, when Erwin, the crack catcher of lhe Normal team, hit the first ball pitched and drove it over the right field fence for la home run. This gave the Normal boys much en- couragement but they were unable to make any more scores in this inning. Henderson tied the score in her half of the inning and then the game settled down to genuine major league baseball, In Hen derson s half of the fifth inning, it look as if they might pile two or three scores as two men were on bases and no outs. Downing, pitched good ball, and pulled out of bad hole and only one score was made in this inning. Anoth- CT tally was added to their list ill the seventh inning, making the score 5 to I in their favor. In the Normal half of the eighth inning, good batting enabled them to run in one score and chances looked as if the score would be tied, but by Massey's good pitching, the game ended 5 to ? in Henderson s favor. The home run of Erwin and the batting of Brown for the visitors were the only features of the game. Following is the score by innings:
