SECOND BASE MADE FAMOUS
"Pop" Anson, Old Time Leader. Tells
Story Of Players Who Have Won
RenoWn at Middle Station.

Pop Anson, the great old player. re-
lates the following story:
-Four men have made second base
famous" says Anson. "They are Lar.
ry Lajoie, Johnny Evers. Eddie Collins
and Fred Merkle.
"The kind Of work they have done
to make second base famous differs.
Merkle's is far separated from that OF
the other three. Merkle made It IA
nous by forgetting 1t.
But Merkle had nothing on Kelly.
Why, Kelly would often forget to
touch It. He would cut across from
first to third when he thought he
could get away with 1t.
whenever we would start a series
away from home Kelly would get in
his best work. OF course. they had
only one umpire then. and II he hap
pened to see Mike cut second and
called his attention to 1t. Mike would
pass the matter of by quietly explain
ing that the park was new to him and
he did not know where second base
was located"

SPONGE Hint.

A sponge that has become Shiny and
sticky can be made as fresh as when
new If well rubbed right into the very
center with freshly cut lemon and
well rinsed. II one application be not
enough the treatment should be re-
pcated and the sponge put in the open
air to dry.
Sponges often become slimy through
hard water. SO good water softener
is advisable. This consists of a mix
ture of borax and oatmeal well stirred
together and dissolved in boiling wa
ter. People whose skins are at all in
clined to roughen and redden with the
weather changes should use paste
made Of oatmeal powder and water in
the palm of the hand instead Of
soap.

Starch Which Doe. No, Stick.

Straining starch is SO troublesome; ;
make starch that requires no strain
ing. This Is the way: Put on sutfi-
cient clean water in a wide pan, and
let 1t come to hard boil. Meantime
mix up your starch in cold water to
the consistency Of thick cream. taking
care there are no Jumps. When the
water boils remove 1t from the fire
and instantly stir into 1t the mixed
starch. Keep stirring till it looks
clear-the heat of the water will cook
it without making lump. A very lit
tie lard. a quarter teaspoonful to the
gallon of cooked starch. makes things
iron little smoother. But with or
without, starch made thus does not
stick to the iron. 1t Is worth while,
though. to rub the iron lightly over a
paratined cloth. to prevent any posi-
bility Of shutting.

WASHING SILK BLOUSE
WHITE ONES MUST BE DEALT
WITH BY THEMSELVES.
Soap Jelly, Freshly Prepared. the Best
to Use-Some Minor Points, That
Mean Much. Well to Keep In
the Memory.

When the washing and ironing OF
silk is so easily done there Is prob
ably nothing so practical and useful as
the silk waists. When preparing to
wash silk waists separate them into
colors. putting the white ones alone.
Soap jelly is easily prepared. and is
valuable help. 1t should not be kept
for longer than a week. as 1t soon
loses Its strength.
Have ready three bowls of luke
warm water. and into two OF them
place some of the soap Jelly. In the
first bath plunge the waist. having the
right side uppermost. Squeeze the
soapy water gently through the fabric,
keeping 1t well under the water, and
paying special attention to the neck.
wristbands and armholes. When the
waist is well washed in the first water
squeeze the water out OF 1t. Never
wiring the garment. Turn 1t on the
wrong side and repeat the process OF
washing in the second bath of soapy
water. Squeeze when well washed.
Shake and rinse in clean. warm wa
ter to remove the soap. Then rinse
in cold water, andsif possible in run
ming water. In order to make white
silk good color rinse In blue water.
Silk must be ironed while quite damp
or 1t will have rough. unfinished ap-
pearance. Use a moderately hot iron
and place piece of muslin between 1t
and the right side of the silk. 1t has
been found that hot iron yellows
silk and gives a crimped. rough ap-
pearance. Iron the silk to give 1t a
good gloss. Lace trimmings on the
waist should always be ironed on the
wrong side. as lace is never supposed
to have gloss.
