X ANY are the opportunities for
 MI culinary triumphs afforded by
 the Christmas dinner. For a week before the feast it is likely the housewife's kitchen will ex- hale hints of the dainties that are to attest her skill on the memorable day. For the Christmas feast there may be all sorts of dainties, but that royal bird, the turkey, Is the piece de resistance.
 A typical Christmas dinner consists of soup-say cream of celery--with oysters. roast turkey, onions, potatoes. cranberries. a lettuce salad, plum pud. ding, wafers, cheese. mince pie, ice cream. fruit cake, candy, nuts, raisins and coffee.
 To prepare oyster cocktails make sauce by stirring together tablespoon full of tomato ketchup. one-half table spoonful of grated horseradish. one half tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce, a dash of tabasco sauce, tea spoonful of lemon Juice and salt to taste Set in the ice until chilled through. Into chilled small glasses put five little oysters and pour in this sauce; then put the glass in the center of plate of cracked ice.
 Scald the turkey instead of dry pick ing it. Clean and wash the fowl nicely. Select a turkey of about fifteen or six teen pounds. It takes from three to four hours to roast one of this size.
 A very rich turkey requires to be offset with an acid jam or jelly, and cranberries supply about the cheapest and most satisfying relish of this sort
 Put the following ingredients into a large dish and mix them thoroughly together for the plum pudding: One pound of seeded raisins and the same amount each of suet, entrants and flour; one-fourth pound of citron, one fourth pound of preserved ginger, a grated nutmeg, dessertspoonful of allspice, eight eggs, one pound of dark brown sugar and one wineglassful of brandy Cook until done

MANHATTAN FIELD
OFFERED TO YANKS
Colonel Coogan Wants Farrell
to Give Up Kingsbridge Prof.
ect and Stay in Town.

NEW YORK. July 2S-If Frank Far
rell can be persuaded to change his
plans OF erecting a stadium at Kings
bridge. the Yankees will have a modern
plant on old Manhattan Field, the plot
OF ground Immediately adjoining the
Polo Grounds. Col. James J. Coogan,
owner of the Polo Grounds and ada
cent property. guarantees the consent
of President Hampstead. of the Giants,
to the scheme.
Colonel Coogan's plan calls for the
erection of a double-deck grandstand,
and a lease to the American League for
a long term of years. The present L
station could be used by both leagues,
thus assuring the Yankees of excellent
transit facilities.
If Mr.. Farrell will give up his plans
to build a plant at Kingsbridge," says
Colonel Coogan, he can have Manhat-
tan Field at a reasonable rental. 1 shall
guarantee the consent of the National
League"
Farrell has yet TO agree TO this plan,
but New York fans are all hoping that
he will. Kingsbridge Is So far away
from the city that it Is certain to prove
losing investment for the American
League, while Manhattan Field is next
door to the Polo Grounds, the best ad-
Vertised park in the world.

FINE PROGRAM OF
RACES At BELMONT 7
Last Week of Sport at Local
Track Begins Today at
Long Island.

NEW YORK, July 2S-There will be
three days of racing at the Belmont
Park course this week-today, Wednes-
day. and Thursday. This will wind up
the season Of racing at Belmont Park
On Saturday the racing begins at Sara
toga and continues at the Spa until
August CO.
The card today provides five races
on the flat and a steeplechase. The
Suffolk Stakes for two-year-olds is the
main event of the program. The dis
tance Of this race is six furlongs-the
second six furlong race of the season
and the first of the present meeting,
under the auspices of the Metropolitan
Jockey Club. The conditions call for
selling allowances. Aaiad has a big ad-
vantage in weight. with only 1O4 pounds
up. and she ought to win. as she likes
the distance. Water Lily and GaIlop
may fight it out between them for
second place. Gallop's weight. ninety
seven pounds. will help him a great
deal. but as he is a heavy headed
colt it will take a strong lad to ride
him.
The first race may be won by Ella.
Bryson, although she is asked to con-
cede sixteen actual pounds to Progress
stye. The latter has a good chance to
win II Ella Bryson should make any
mistakes. Cadeau may be third.

CHANGES
SOON TO BE MADE
James E. Sullivan Favors Recall Case of Competitor Start.
ing Before Sound of Gun-Inernationa Federation
viii Work for Uniformity.

NEW YORK, July 8.-Important
changes are contemplated in athletic
laws both at home and abroad, ac-
cording to James L. Sullivan, secre-
tary of the A. A u, who is impress
ed with the necessity of improving
the conditions governing track and
field sports. One of the most radical
may come on the suggestion OF Steve
Farrell. the old professional sprinter,
who voiced a regret felt by many that
a man who beat the gun in a sprint
race should be allowed to finish and
take the prize away from those who
held themselves on the mark and re-
fused to take an unfair advantage.
Under the present rule there is no
recall once the starter has fred the
PISTOL, but in a conversation with Mr..
Sullivan the old sprinter pointed out
that there should not only be a pro-
vision that the men should be recalled
when one man got an obviously un-
fair start, but that the offender should
be penalized in some way.
In talking over this yesterday Sulli-
van said that he certainly favored
some such rule and would bring the
matter before the A. A. U. at the an
nuaI meeting in November next. An
ether change that will be suggested
refers to the method of dealing with
foul running. In several instances
lately men have crossed over and in
The Washington times., 1913-07-28

, tcrferred with other runners and so
upset the race that the only thing
left for the referee to do was to dis
qualify the offender and order the
race rerun.
This is a hardship on the competitors
especially, as men frequently figure on
competing in more than cne race. II
Trey have to run a race over they are
practically barred physically from
the second contest. or Course when a
foul occurs near the end of a race
there is no remedy, but often the
jam occurs at the start and the
referee can take no action until the
event Is finished and a protest made.
To prevent the men having to run a
race through and then repeat after
the foul, Sullivan suggests a rule
that the referee shall be ordered to
stand behind the starter. and IL in his
judgment foul Is committed early IN
fire the pistol for a recall. The Of
fender may then be put out of the
contest and a fair race held without
the runners wasting their strength
In a useless journey.
Sullivan also favors a rule similar
to that operating in the intercollegiate
association This provides that when
a collegian is guilty Of a foul all the
members of the same college in the
race shall be disqualified as well as
the actual offender. He asserts that
this Is necessary because club rivalry
is so acute that there are instances
where one man will interfere with a
dangerous man in another club, thus
leaving his own clubmate a free
course for victory
