ToDAY-Navy Yard Vs. Cornell, at North
Capitol and l. streets
Today is the last scheduled game OF
the season.
No game yesterday. The league seems
to have blown up for the season.
There is no chance of there being a
change in the standing Of any of the
clubs. so that other games are neces-
sary, but 1t has been the intention to
carry out at least the regular schedule.
Cornell Tigers have. made a runaway
race of the flag this year. After the
first two weeks, there has been nothing
to the fight but Cornell This has
caused more or less tagging of interest,
but whenever the Tigers have played, a
good crowd has always been on hand to
see the game.
Had the Navy Yard team played the
ball all season that it has played for the
last month, there would have been a
closer fight for first place. The South
east mechanics have gathered a strong
aggregation, and should they enter the
league next year. thev will give a good
account of themselves.

A Phillips Brooks Story.

In the Christian EndeavOr World the
Rev. Francis Il. Clark writes Of his at
tending Andover Theological seminary
with John Cotton Brooks. brother Of
the famous Massachusetts bishop and
rector. the Rev. Phillips Brooks The
writer says:
recall one repartee which John
Brooks ascrbed to his brother Phillips.
A famous but sensational Boston
preacher. who soon afterward fell
from his high estate, being great
sportsman and decidedly "horsy," had
written much advertised book en-
titled "The Perfect Horse" Eyes"
said Phillips Brooks, The Perfect
Horse by the perfect ass" This was
the only sentiment bordering on Ill
nature that ! ever heard attributed to
this most genial and kind hearted OF
men. and this could easily be forgiven
when one remembers the skyrocket
preacher of whom ii was said.

Handy With the Whip.

y Transfers are prouder Of their skill
with che whip than of anything else
In the world. A group Of teamsters
were talking one night.
"Out ON the plains said one young
fellow. II used to cut down steer
with my whip, skin him and divide up
his carcass"
A red headed fellow said his uncle
could take two whips and write the
Lords Prayer on the bark Of birch
with the left hand one, at the same
time playing operate selections with
the other on tin can at seven PAGES.

The Earliest Cold Storage.

In Macaulay's essay on Lord Ba-
con" he points out that in 1926 the
subject Of his memoir tried the expert
ment Of stufling fowl with snow to
prevent it from putrefying and in car
rying out the work caught cold. from
which he died Macaulay adds: "In
the last letter that he ever wrote, with
fingers which. as he said. could not
steadily hold pen, he did not omit to
mention that the experiment of the
snow had succeeded excellently well"
If. however, we turn to nature there
are instances in Siberia of mammoths
preserved in ice so that their flesh Is
still eatable from a period probably
coeval with the first appearance OF
man on this globe If the Romans
brought to their banquets the dainties
of the known world, had they not some
knowledge Of cold storage?-E. II. Hill

The Misuse Of Vinegar.

DR.. Mansell Maullin. NJ A.. writing
In the London Lancet on the causes Of
gastric ulcer. mentions vinegar as one
cause. "In many Of these instances,
especially those which occur in young
women, the effect of this chronic sep
tic poisoning is intensified by the habit
so many Of them have of swallowing
quantities Of vinegar. Information
with regard to this is very difficult to
obtain and is never volunteered. 1t
has to be drawn out bit by bit, but |
have met with many instances in
which a pint a day has been consumed
and a few in which the quantity was
occasionally much larger. The effect
is probably greater because 1t is often
taken between meals on an empty
stomach under the curious impression
that it will improve the complexion"

No Room For Him.

Several relics of exceptional value
and of unusual interest to archaeolo-
gists were discovered in small town
near Nuremberg. and as soon as the
news reached him the director of the
Nuremberg Historical museum went
to the village and introduced himself
to the mayor, saying:
81 am in charge of the museum at
Nuremberg and I'd like to-
you're too late, my good sir" in
terrupted the mayor. We've already
got here several merry -go-rounds. a
bearded woman, a theatrical company
composed of apes, troupe of trained
dogs and band of Hungarian must;
clans, so you can readily see that
we've got no room for your museum"
And with these words he nodded to
the director and went away.

these tabs after a queer formula that never
varies.
The broker folds a couple OF the little
sheets once. creases them carefully and
tears them on the crease. The four pieces
he puts evenly together. folds once, creases
and tears again. He keeps this up until
the bits are too small to fold and tear
again, whereat he blows them TO the floor
or at a brother broker. One Of the floor
men who has a bald head varies the con-
ventional procedure by throwing the bits
into the air. In settling, little squares OF
the paper light on his polished head, and
he is seldom seen on the floor without
small fakes of the paper resting on the
spot where his hair once was.
