Selection Of Poultry.

In choosing poultry select those
that are soft. Perhaps the surest way
to determine whether they are young
is to, try the skin under the leg or
wing. Ii it is easily broken it is
young; or turn the wing backwards.
and II the joint yields readily it is
tender. When poultry is young the
skin is thin and tender. the legs
smooth, the feet moist and timber, and
the eyes full and bright. The body
should be thick and the breast fat. Old
turkeys have long hairs and the flesh
ls purplieh where it shows under the
skin on the legs and back. About
March they deteriorate in quality.
Young ducks and geese are plump
with light semitransparent fat. soft
breast bones, tender flesh. leg joints
which will break with the weight of the
bird, fresh-colored and bristle beaks.
and the windpipes that break when
pressed between the thumb and fore.

MAKING THE BEST or STEAK
Most Effective Way Of Dealing, for Ia.
stance With the Flank End
OF Porterhouse.

Before speaking of the cooking OF
the cuts that lack tenderness through
out, it may be we'll to refer to the fact
that the flank end OF the porterhousa
Is to be classed with the toughest OF
cuts and with those which, when
cooked alone, are with difficulty made
tender even by long heating. Mock
duck. which is commonly made out Of
flank steak. can be rendered tender
enough to be palatable only by long
steaming or cooking in water. and yet
people quite generally broil this part
Of the steak with the tenderloin and
expect 1t to be eaten. The fact Is that
to broil this part OF the porterhousa
steak is not good management. 1t ID
much more profitable to put 1t into
the soup kettle or to make 1t into q
stew. In families where most OF the
members are away during the day the
latter is a good plan. for the end Of
the steak makes good stew for two
or three people. This may be sea.
soned with vegetables left from din
ner, or two or three olives cut up in
gravy will give very good flavor; or
few drops OF some one Of the bottled
meat sauces, il the flavor is relished.
or little Chill sauce may be added to
the stew. But If the tough eEd OF
porterhouse Is needed with the rest.
good plan is to put 1t through meat
grinder, make it into balls, and broil 1t
with the tender portions. Each men,
Der of the family can then be served
with a piece of the tenderloin and a
meat ball. If the chopped meat Is
seasoned with little onion juice,
grated lemon rind or chopped parsley.
q good flavor is impaired to the gravy.

-ln-the- middle of the game, one Of
the Cincinnati team wandering appar.
emily aimlessly toward third base,
made q sudden rush, pushed the
guilty Philadelphia out of the coach

was winning games for Philadelphia.
The discovery created q big sensation
in baseball and aroused a vigorous
protest against such unsportsmanlike
methods. But instead of stopping, the
Philadelphia club moved the buzzer
to their bench, and continued using
1t until stopped by league action.

Pittsburg, however, tried the same
thing year later, using an ingenious
device; a semaphore arrangement

The arrangement was not in use for

opponents discovered it and began
changing signals SO rapidly the spies
could not follow them. After II
batters had been hit by pitched balls
in four days and some of them hurt
because they expected one curve when
another was being pitched the scheme
was abandoned.

Deciding Moments Of Great Games.
Nearly every baseball game is won
and lost on one play; a play that
comes at the psychological instant.
Among the players (who do not study
psychology the crucial moment is
known as "the break" phenomenon
which no one has analyzed and which
the players themselves do not under
stand.
Twenty men on the bench are
watching closely and intently every
move of the pitcher. The tide of bat
tie rises. ebbs-and then suddenly, at
the start of some inning, something
happens. What It is no one outside
the psychic sphere of influence ever
will understand but the silent, tight
Tipped, alert fellows on the bench see
something. or feel something and the
mysterious break" has come.
"One ball!" The players on the
bench suddenly stiffen and prepare
for action. 1.-TWO balls!" Two play
ers Jump for bats and begin swinging
them: the coachers who have yelled
only because it was their duty. sud-
denly begin raging, screaming and
paving tee dirt. The manager who
has appeared half asleep, makes
trumpet of his hands and leads his
men, bawling orders to his players
and wild taunts to the opponents.
The spectators do not understand
anything has happened. Other bat
ters have LAD two balls called many

same to the spectator who is be-
