FROZEN DISHES.

There Is no dessert which ever takes
the place Of Ices and ice creams during
the hot weather; they are not only re-
freshing but nourishing, and are so
universally well liked that one cannot
go amiss to serve them on all occa-
sions.
The plain Philadelphia ice cream
may be used as a foundation for any
number of delightful combinations, for
example:
Nougat Ice cream-Add a half cup
full each of chopped flberts, walnuts
and almonds with a teaspoonful each
Of almond and vanilla extract. One
can buy the plain ream all frozen ID
many places so reasonably, and 1t can
be repacked with any additions Of fruit
or nuts, making the work very light.
The favor Of peach Is given by put
ting two cups Of strained peach pulp
and a teaspoonful Of lemon juice to
plain ice cream.
A delicious flavor Of almonds Is CIV
en- to Ice cream in this manner: Blanch
and chop a cup Of almonds, carmeltze
four tablespoonful Of sugar and add
the almonds. When cold grind to q
powder, add to the cream with a tea
spoonful Of almond extract.
The most delicious Of creams is
made by adding two cups Of squeezed
and strained raspberries to the cream.
The color is enhanced by the addition
Of a teaspoon of lemon juice.
A pretty and easy way to make
fancy dessert Is raspberry bonnie:
Line a melon mold with raspberry Ice
and fill with vanilla ice cream or with
a pineapple Ice or Ice cream. Pack IN
ice and salt and let stand four hours.
Serve with whipped cream or garnisf
with fresh berries and leaves. p,
suItana RolI.-This is a great favor
tie and can be made without the use
Of liquor. Line one pound baking pow
der cans with pistachio ice cream (this
Is plain cream with the chopped nuts
frozen in it). Sprinkle with candied
fruit that has stood over night IN
s%weetened and favored whipped
cream. Pack as usual. Serve with
the sauce in which the fruit has stood
over night.

The first Cub batter up hit safely; the second did likewise; the third aimed
a twobagger down the third base line, but Captain Lord pnched the hit and
one man as out. Arthur Holman, Cub center fielder, with two hot doubles
to his credit that day, next faced the White sox giant. Intent o n getting a
strike over OF the first pitch, Walsh sent the ball in so fast it fairly smoked.
A swirl of ash followed. The resultant crash Of Hofmans war club sounded to
the Cub followers like the roar Of victory and to the White Sx rooters, peui-
fed with dread, like the crack Of doom.
Through the gloom, a blue CARRIED, whitehosed figure was seen t leap far
into the air; with gloved hand he clutched the sizzling liner, burning a path
through the falling shadows on its journey toward the fence, then staggered to
second base, stamped on 1t and completed a double play unasisted. Andy

,hould give this player a place in the baseball hall Of fame.

7 turned for second cursing the luck,
for I thought sure he would grab 1t.
He didn't. The ball just hit his hands
hard enough to lose force, and fell.
I turned second, saw I couldn't reach
third, and slid back to second. The
ball came back, and we went on. A
minute later the pitcher let me get
away with a big lead. I thought he
wasn't watching me at all, and / slid
into third base just as hard as could

myself and felt pretty good-until 1

down between third and home. I won
dered what he was doing there, but
as he was driven back to third l
turned and ran back toward second.
He got back to third and I was trap
ped between second and third and
they were chasing me up and down
when he made another break for the
plate. The throw. went high and wild,
and he slid over the plate with the
run and I squatted on second. .
All I had done was to steal third
with a runner already there. I had
hit the ball so far I took 1t for granted
both the runners OF the bases had
scored and never had looked to see.
No wonder the pitcher let me get that
big lead. The runner who had been
on second had figured that the left
fielder would catch the ball and had
stopped at third instead of going
home. So long as we got away with
1t, it was a good play, and we made
four, run that inning instead Of one
and won the game, 80 that made 1t
four times as good. I never tried 1t
again, and every time I make a hit
take a long look ahead to see II the
block signal Is set OF the way clear
before making any more smart steals.

MANIcuREs FOR ANIMALS
Departments to Care for Nails and
Bills Started at Zoo In
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa-So as to keep the
nails Of the animals from the lion to
the monkey and the bills Of the birds

the geological gardens. The depart
ment Is under the supervision of Head
Keeper Manley, and 1t moves It's
sphere of work from cage to cage IN
the various houses, as the occasion de-
mands. It Is constantly at work.
The tools employed by the mani
curists in connection with their labor
among the creatures differ materially
from the dainty utensils used by the
blonde Venus of the barber shop, and
consist Of a hammer, a chisel, often a
Ratchet and saw, and always a large,
rugged file about IA inches long. A
sharp, strong pair of steel wire nip
pers is also used on the nails or the
larger cats.
The m%anicuring establishment at the
gardens was organized by Super1n-
tendent Carson. Realizing that the
animals could not wear of their nails
on the boards of the cages as quickly
as they could on the rocks of their ma
tive haunts, and that because of this
the claws frequently grew long, turned
and penetrated the, soft part OF the
foot, Mr.. Carson decided that IN order
10 alleviate the distress caused by IN
growing nails these would have to be
clipped.

Why Cobb Steals Bases.

Joe Birmingham has discovered why
Ty Cobb steals so many bases. He
says it's because Crwaford, who comes
to bat next after Cobb in the batting
order, and hence Is at bat when Cobb
is ready to steal, Yields a bat like a
young tree and keeps opposing catch
ers with their backs against the
stands, where they don't get a fair
throw for second.

the first ball pitched and hit 1t sew

teams in the game.
When the Cubs we're the wiRners in
the National league in 1908 the prin-
cipal problem confronting Chances
men was that of stopping Cobb in his
career Of hitting and wild base run
ming. All baseball fandom was won
dering and specializing what the bat
ting marvel Of the Tigers would do IN
the impending clash for a worlds
baseball crown. Cobb had gone
through the American league season
with an average Of $50 at bat and
proved a whirlwind on the bases.
The first clash in Chicago resulted
in a drawn game. Interest in the Sc
ries was at fever heat. The Tigers
feared the Cubs and Chances men
worried most about Cobb, Mullin, Don.
ovan and Crawford, but most of all
about Cobb. If this demon batter and
base stealer could be headed of and
suppressed they figured Chicago would
win.
Schulte's great coup had been
worked on other players. but this oc-
casion stands out as his master
stroke, for it stopped Cobb in his only
chance. to run the bases in the first
decisive game and doubtless had its
effect on the Georgian's subsequent at
tempts to score on the Cubs.
In his first appearance at bat Cobb
swung at the first ball Jack Pfester
