WENTWORTH TOOK FIRST
Independence Lost to Cadet
Ball To5sers Saturday.

N-@ r''y
The independence high school
base ball team soiournod here
Saturday and lost a game to
the Wentworth artists S to g..
The day was cold and windy
50 that the crowd consisted most
ly of cadets, the young ladies that
they brought and Phil Marshall
But nevertheless the game was
worth watching. The visitors
in the second took a lead of 2
to ! and by the fifth it had
become 3 to 2. Then Martin
with two men on bases bounced
out home run. After that the
locals had no trouble.
The Wentworth team showed
considerable promise. There were
one or two bits of bonehead
work, but on the whole the show
ing was satisfactory. Garzee,
who is back at the third sack,
played an errorless game and
battcd 1000. Out of four times
up he got two singles and two
three-baggers. One of these
was nearly a home run, but he
was caught by beautiful throw
from center.
Lawson, the cadet pitcher,
showed plenty of smoke and
good control for cold day
Martin caught a good game and
worked his pitcher well, but
showed weakness in throwing to
second.

Miss Mink S Recital.

The piano recital in Murrell
auditorium Monday night will
long be remembered as one Of
the most finished and brilliant
ever heard in Central College
The piano department Of Cen
tral has in years past developed
many pupils whose performing
compared favorably with that of
the best musicians in the coun-
try, and a high standard has
been set and maintained by
its graduates standard that
was almost unobtainable by
pupils of ordinary musical ability
Miss Mink in her recital last
night proved her right to be
classed among the most bril-
liant performers ever gradual
ed from Central. Many com
pared her playing with that OF
Miss Bessie Estle, now Nine

The program was as follows;

MISS ROBBINS
Miss Willard showed herself
to be a talented and versatile
reader. Her delineation of male
characters was particularly good.
Her presentation of the Scenes
from David Copperfield" re
quired many widely different
manners of expression and rap
id changes. She brought out
clearly the personalities of the
several characters and their emo
tions. Her second and third
numbers were of a humorous ma
ture and pleased the audience inn
mensely. The dialect called
for in the second was exceedingly
well handled. Miss Willard
easily held the undivided atten-
ton Of her hearers at all times
and kept them highly interested
After the last number she was
forced to give AN encore, which
met with hearty reception.
Miss Rice is one of the most
talented musicians of the col
lege, being an excellent singer
as well as a pianist. Her ac-
complishment in her recital was
one at which she can feel much
gratified. She interpreted anC
executed every number with q
marked degree of fluency anC
accuracy. The second grouI
was particularly pleasing. IIel
Interpretation Of Mae Dowell'
To a Water LILY and Nevinf

artistic. The piece de ressis

chocolate, one-half pint of milk, one
half cup of butter, one-half cup OF

beaten whites Of the eggs favored
with vanilla. Bake this in layers, put
together with soft icing mixed with
chopped nuts or figs

ceptable, with dishes OF taffy or fudge
and plentiful supply of nuts served
