BENDE[
Showing Up IH Great Shape
With MiddIetOWn
And Has Made Good With
The Team

Among the baseball players that
have been produced by Mt. Vernon
and who are making good in fast
company is Hub" Bendel, who for
several years previous has been play
ing the game in and near this city.
At the beginning of this season, he
signed a contract with the Middle
town, Ohio, team which is in the X.
o. 1. League and from the start of the
practice has been steadily improving
at the game and has developed great
speed Sunday the Middletown team
played a game with the Dayton Cen
trail league team at Middletown and
won it by the score of to l. This
is proof that Hub" is in fast COM
pany and is necessarily playing fast
clean ball. In Sundays game, he was
responsible for two out of the six runs
which were scored by his team. 1t
was with two men out that he came
to bat and with one strike called on
him, laid down a perfect bunt which
bothered the Dayton players to such
u degree that two men scored and he
landed safely on first. He is called
the barber" by the fans who think
very favorably of him. In another
clipping from a paper, a statement is
made that Bendel is showing up in
frst-class manner and will very like
ly be one of the pleasant surprises
of the Middletown team for the sea-
son. Hub" has been playing at the
position of shortstop thus far this
season, but he is not only good there
but is sensational fielder, being
capable of covering large amount Of
territory and covering it well. In re-
gard to the speed which he has de-
yeloped, letter received by his broth
er states that he can cover 100
yards in ten seconds fiat. That is
going some.

First OF warm weather,


At present prices eggs are much
cheaper than any meat except dried or
Clipped beef. A dozen eggs contains
much more nutriment than a pound
OF porterhouse steak though the prices
of both are the same. Clipped beef
hasn't been generally used By the pub
lie, has grown in popularity recently
and the consumer seems to have
awakened to it's food value and rela-
tive cheapness. 1t retails at 80 cents
pound, but one pound of 1t Is said
to contain more nutriment than sever
al pounds of other meats.
Scrambled eggs and dried beef"
said Chicago retail butcher and pro-
vision merchant, "at present prices of
other meats and food stuffs, would
seem to be good weapons with which
to fight big grocers' bills. Everybody
knows the food value of eggs, and
nearly everybody is fond of them. But
few people realize the food value of
dried beef and the many palatable
forms in which 1t can be prepared"
