PINK TEAS AND
REGISTRATION
MIXING WELL

AS the municipal teas at the
city council chamber grow in in
terest and social attractiveness
the registration is jumping up.
On the first day Of the recep-
tons the registration was 141.
Wednesday it reached 1872. 1t is
expected to go away above the
400 mark today for the women
are discovering these municipal
teas are worth while.
There was a big attendance
yesterday and especial interest
was shown in the electric cooking.
This was in part due to the fact
that the fluffy biscuits that came
out of the oven and were served
with good butter were something
just little better than can be
produced in a gas or coal stove.
The absolutely even heat of the
electric ailowatt the women found
to be a factor they had never
known of before in culinary art
and they began asking the price
of cooking outfits.
Walter ]. Thompson and s..
Wade Hampton were the speakers
before the women yesterday, ex-
planning the bond issues now be-
fore the people.

Higgins cannot see this price at all. and
the slugger is just as obstinate from a !

terms with Honey.
The Cards manager wants an outfieider
of high caliber. a good pitcher and a
second baseman for Honey. He plans to
switch Lee Magee to first base. and that $
why he wants Il second .sacker.
Whether Pittsburgh can supply this
particular need is the big question in the
proposed deal.
The Cubs are after Honey with all pos
sible effort. Charlie Murphy would see
a pennant fiuttering in the Windy city IL
he could land the first baseman. Bres-
nahan is urging Murphy to so the limit.

The trading of Honey probably Will
bring about a three-cOrnered deal. No
contract has been rendered Honey by
Higgins who wants to keep the salary
question open. Undoubtedly the passing
of Honey would cause another awful
howl here, but since the Cardinal players
have insisted that Higgins base ball
judgment is better than Bresnahan's. the
fans are looking up to the little manager
in a more trusting way.
