Once again the Cuban Giants, the
crack base ball team from Havana,
defeated the Brownies to the tune Of
to 1. in a fairly good game of ball
YESTERDAY afternoon. During the
game the Brownies used three pitch
ers. Haley, the first man in the box,
pitched fairly well until the unlucky
fifth, when the visitors began to hit
him, and at the same time the
Brownies went up in the air, for the
first time this season, losing their
heads and playing punk ball.
Merritt was called in from right to
pitch, Haley taking his place. Two
men faced Merritt, each getting hit.
Merritt was then sent to left and
"Big John" Palm put in the box, and
he finished the game. While the
Brownies picked up wonderfully in
their batting yesterday they were far
below their standard on fielding, ev-
cry error they made being costly.
Their hits we're not punched except in
the first inning when they made two
hits; after this the hits were scatter
ling.
1t was different, however, with the
visitors. They made their hits when
most needed and played fast ball
throughout. Their fielding was good
Had the Brownies played their aver
age game the result would have been
different.
The local team deserves credit,
however, for holding the Giants down
to such small scores, as they are all
professional players, having defeated
some of the best professional teams
in this country as well as Mexico and
Cuba, and it goes without saying that
there is not an amateur team in the
state that can defeat the Giants.
Toles at second played his usual
good game being the only one on the
infield not accredited with an error.
He also raped out two singles. Cob
olini and Bell each touched up Her
nandez for a two Dagger, but failed
to reach home. Griffith who made
the only run for the Brownies was
passed to first and advanced to sec
ond on Cobolini's sacrifice, coming
home on Haley's single to right field.

Notes of the Game.

The features of the game were a
one-handed stop by McClintock and
the base running of Toles. Toles
stole I'd and 3rd.
Cobolini got two hits out of three
times up and Toles got two out of four
times to bat.
Each team received s hits.
Palm, who finished the game, did
good work considering that he had
no time to warm up. Only 2 hits We're
made off him.
Bell played his usual steady game
in center field and also made one of
the hits.
The Cubans' are good ball players.

large, fat hand, palm outstretched
for silence. 1t was we'll that he
did so. In his early days Mr..
Merriwell had been a splendid
sand-lot baseball artist. The out
stretched hand was just in time to
seize and neatly hold a far-flung
turnip.
Good ketch! Out at first!"
shouted the crowd.
Mr.. Merriwell, in an effort to
be funny and carry the crowd, bit
into the turnip. He frowned and
chicken and spat all over a swarthy

"Ah, looka outa! Spitta lika

shouted about the street piano.
Someone kicked the box on which
Mr.. Merriwell stood wildly gestic-
ulating. Into the crowd he
sprawled. By the time Mr.. Mer-

resembled a water-splashed check

dear?" asked Mrs. MerriwelI, as
she tenderly dressed his wounds.

explained Mr.. Merriwell.
"Ah, the brawny hand of la

And what is this?"

Here is the government recipe
for cleaning brass. 1t is used N
all the United States arsenals and
is said to be the best in the world.
One quart of common nitric
acid to one-half pint of sulphur
ic acid. Keep the mixture in a
stone Jar, having ready a pailful
of fresh water and a box full Cf
sawdust. Articles to be cleaned
must first be dipped in the acid
mixture, then into the water and
dried with the sawdust. This pro-
cess of cleaning will change the
brass Immediately to a brilliant
color. If the metal is greasy, as
candlesticks would be, dip first in
a strong solution of potach and
soda in warm water. This cuts
the grease and permits the acid
to work. This method of cleaning
brass is entirely harmless and is
satisfactory.

THE SUGAR GAUGE

Not many women use 1t
yet, but every woman will
use it soon, for in the latest
cook books recipes for icing
and confectionery, as well as
for canning and preserving
syrups, are compiled with ref
erence to the use of the
sugar gauge.
The expert cook no longer
drops a spoonful of hot syrup
into cold water to find the
thread, or soft ball stage.
If she wants a light syrup
for sweet fruits, or a heavy
syrup for acid fruits; If she
would distinguish between
candy syrup which will cream
and one which will make
brittle taffy, she tests with
her syrup gauge for exact in
formation.
This little thermometer
when immersed IN pure water
rests upon the bottom of the
vessel. AS the sugar is dis
solved, the bulb rises, in am
upright position; the mark at
the surface showing the
strength of the solution.
It's cost is small; the meth
cd of using it Is quickly

Here is a handsome frock for
afternoon occasions, made of soft
velvet with heavily embroidered
motifs and coarse-meshed silk net

The overdress comes to a point
low on the skirt in the back, and,
while full, is drawn close to the
figure, an idea which is followed
carefully in all draperies.
The hat is a dropping shape of
velvet, trimmed with short broad
