verified by actual demonstration most
Of the report. So pass it on to my
fellow housewives in full confidence
of It's accuracy.
"The Chef" runs the report, has
cooked the following items without
the use OF single dish or tin OF any
description, merely pouring the food
into the bag, to the undisguised aston

in the audiences: Is,

Fruit cakes in all varieties.

or lightness of everything, has been

those who have seen or tasted the
food"
The ome.et, as most mary elous, de-
serves and shall have the place OF,
honor. It was thus made and pro.
portioned: ....

up five whites Of eggs to a stin froth
and add them carefully to the creamed
yolks, together with . level table.

Of vanilla essence should also be
added to flavor the omelet. Have
ready well buttered bag. pour in II the
omelet mixtures carefully, seal and
place on the grid shelf. When done
place on hot dish and remove the
paper bag. Make an incision In the
center Of the omelet and put into It
two or three spoonfuls Of jam. ~
Here is the fruit cake cooked with
out pan, inside q paper bag. It
sounds not only toothsome, but fes-
tive: Take eight ounces fresh but
ter, eight ounces caste: sugar and
four new.laid eggs, and beat up well
together into thick cream. To this
mixture add eight ounces best white
flour; four ounces sultana raisins, four
ounces dried currants and four ounces
candied peel. Stir the whole mixture
hard till thoroughly blended and pour
into paper bag creased very liberal

AS TO just what the score will be II is a

what they will be able to do now. At
the first of the season the prospects
were the best the Baptists had had in
some years and they started off at a
pretty good rate against Gordon. but
their defense was weak enough TO allow
Gordon to score. 1t was thought that
this weakness of the line had been
remedied but it evidently had not,

the other strong points of our game
which enabled us to chalk up a vic
tory.
I think we have demonstrated
that we are all l claimed before
the series began-that we have a
steady team, game to the core, and
one that can win from the front or
win from behind.
Wood will beat Tesreau every
time they meet. If the series goes
beyond Monday, which I doubt. Joe
will be ready on Tuesday again.
Perhaps Stahl might pitch him on
Monday.
Joe pitches from 10 to 125 balls
a game, as the series has gone so
far. In this kind of weather II
would not be asking too much of
him to go in the box every three
days.
Tesreau Pitched Fair Game.
For New York, Tesreau pitched a
good game, about like the one
O'Brien pitched for us against
Vanguard. If these two come to-
gether again in the series-that is,
O'Brien and Marquard-my money
will go on our man.
Gardner is at last in his stride,
and / think the New Yorks will
find him a man to be feared from
now on. He has f1elded his position
perfectly all through the series.

DOSTON, Oct. 12.-Our boys
~ are now In their old stride.
Yesterday they looked more
like their old selves than at any
time since the series began. From
the first day we have been conf
dent, and today we are more con-
fident than ever.
Yesterdays victory was due to
the phenomenal pitching of Joe
Wood and the sensational fielding
of Heine Wagner.
l doubttif any one ever saw a
shortstop make three more diff
cult plays in one game than Wag-
ner did In that game. The hits on
which these plays were made we're
not terrific grounders, but they
were batted in such a way that
only player of the first class could
have made them.
Had Wagner failed, the hits
would have gone for singles and
very lucky ones at that.
Yerkes Made Grand Play.
Aside from the grand work of
Wagner and Wood, a play of
Yerkes saved us from letting the
Giants into a tie score.
