Mig Cuppy.
Baseball stars may come and
they may go, but the name of Mig
Cuppy will live forever. There be
greater pitchers than Cuppy-but
no slower ones-and by the same
token, more resourceful men have
been mighty scarce.
Cuppy was as cool as the pro-
verbal cucumber. In game at
Baltimore in 1895 he had the
Orioles 81 in the eleventh. Jen-
nings was at bat and tho sorrel-
top had a trick of getting hit
about every other time up. With
two strikes, Cuppy called thinner
man to the box. The Chief hur-
ried out, thinking Mig wanted to
consult with him, but as he drew
near the pitcher said: "Cive me
a chew, pick, Chief"
Zimmerman handed ever some
fine cut and returned to his place.
Cuppy awaited the signal, as Jen.
nings hung over the plate, hoping
the ball would touch him. Zim-
norman called for one straight
across and waist high and like a
flash 1t came. AS the ball "spat-
ted" into the big glove, Tim Hurst
balled out, Three strikes," and
the teams changed sides. As he
hurried to the bench Cuppy called
out: THAT was pretty good to-
bacco, Chief, where did you get
it,"
Another time. In Baltimore,
when they were getting to him
hard and steady, a rabid fan yell
led: How do you like it, Cuppy?"
Fine" responded the pitcher,
you won't have an excuse toI
heave rocks at us tonight"

THINK CHANCE IS
TO MANAGE CUBS
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
NEW YORK, Dec. ia rumor
that Frank Chance will manage
the Chicago Cub team from the
bench next season gained currency
today when Charles w. Murphy,
owner of the club, refused a waiv-
er on First Baseman Jack Flynn
of the Pittsburg Pirates. This &C
ton is taken to show that the
Cubs are seeking a first sacker.
Jack Archer, change catcher for
the Cubs last year, who filed in
at first several times, with fairly
good success, will be used more as
a first baseman this coming year,
according to many of the fans, and
in some quarters it is firmly be-
lieved that Archer will succeed
Chance outright.

Betting on the Hogan-Frayne fight

opened up briskly this morning
when the betting commissioners
posted up odds of 10 to with

ASKED FOR oisPeNsAuoN.
Mssons of Mesa Take Steps Toward the Obtaining of a Formal Charter.

For the purpose of taking pre- liminary step toward getting the Ma sonic organization in Mesa on a truly sound basis. !. l.. Waring. Jack Fra zier. Bert Wingar. Jack Stewart and J. P. Striegle motored over to the meeting of the Tempe lodge Thurs day evening and asked from the lodge q dispensation for charter.
 Until the past few weeks, or until the Masons of Mesa decided that they had become numerous enough to war rant the installation of a lodge here. they belonged to the organization in Tempe. Such being the case, before they could establish themselves for mally as a Mesa lodge it was neces- sary to get permission from the Tempe lodge. That dispensation was granted at the meeting Thursday evening. Now it will be necessary to obtain a charter from the grand lodge. That is not expected to be a matter of any difficulty Thereafter the Masonic lodge of Mesa will be on a finally permanent footing.

1 kinds in importance that unless other wise specified the word milk is taken to refer to cows milk only. says the Baltimore sun.
 Good unadulterated milk should ceE- tain about S7 per cent of water and F per cent solids.
 Milk contains bacteria of many kinds and in varying numbers. They cause the souring of milk as well as the ripening of cream and cheese. and pro- duce many other changes in the ap- pearance and flavor. The number pres ent in freshly drawn milk varies enormously with the condition of milk ing, and, as they are greatly increased with dirty handling. cleanliness in all matters pertaining tO the milking and marketing of milk and keeping it in the home cannot be too strongly in sisted on.
 Disease germs. notably those of ty- phoid. diphtlicria. scarlet fever and tu- berculoSis. may also be carried in milk. so that the purity of the milk supply is of vital importance to every family and community.
 The problem Of keeping milk sweet is one of checking the growth of the bacteria. and as they are inactive at a Temperature below % Fahr, milk should be kept in d cool place Two common methods for preserving milk are pasteurization and sterilization
 In the former the aim is to apply heat in such a way as to kill most of the bacteria without producing undc- sirablc changes in the milk; in the latter, to apply enough heat to kill all the bacteria, but with the least un- desirable change. Chemical prescrva- = tives in milk are considered injurious to health and are forbidden by pure food legislation in many states.
 What is commonly known as the richness of milk depends upon the amount of butter fat it contains. There is so much difference in the compost tion of milk from different cows that many large butter and cheese factories
