SHERIDAN MEETS J. MAND0T TONIGHT
poRTIY A NERVE TO

Many wives in major league cities

Cleveland won 'he cup in 1895 with
Young and Cuppy on the firing line

but lost In 1896, when Wilbert Robin
son had Joe Cornett working like q
clock and Hoffer was at his best.
From 1892 to 1896 the Cleveland
team was the same, save that Tebeau
replaced Virtue at first. What q line
up it was: Cupry, Tebeau, Childs,
McGarr. Mexican, Burkett, McAleer,
Blake, thinner and Virtue. What a
collection OF trouble!
Cuppy now objects to being called
SLOW pitcher" and declares he was
no slower than the average. He says:
Il see they are now getting away
with pitching $50 balls game. When
was In the business used to pitch
that many to four Orioles--McGraw
Jennings, Keeler and Kelley"
How that bunch used to foul on the
ball, and they must smile as they
read the plaint from Elkhart, which
Is gospel--and they know It!
Il was called SLOW" continues Cup
by, "but IL We had had the foul strike
rule and had cut out the kicking at
the umpire, w;lld not have been
any slower than the pitchers arr now.
One thing they can say about ny
work, was game and never refused
to work day after day"
And this IL true. Cuppy would
tackle that baltimore outfit-and they
were terrors--wheneve he was asked
to. and re was game clear through.
Cuppy played with Dayton. o., In
1890, Meadville, Pa, In 1891, and

colors for sunny, well-llghted rooms.
II the room Is on the north side OF the

Tan IL good all-around color and is
usable in well.lighted or poorly light

All these colors are best II soft.
For example, a sage green wall is
much more pleasing than n bright

hagen blue Is better than n vivid
blue; the most agreeable gray for
walls is brownish gray in tone. Tan
In great variety of shades is always

Bright red should never be chosen.

sometimes a desirable color. and a

Eneland's Oldest Bowling ereen.

Which is our oldest recreation
There are not wanting psychologists
who profess to be able to trace refer
ences to football and baseball on
Egyptian moral tablets. However,
when II comes to actual records. the
fine old English game OF bowls would
appear to be as old as any.
Southampton. Eng. has records
showing that one OF the local bowling
greens was in existence In 1893.
Many interesting customs are asso-
ciated with the game on this historic
green. Every summer a fire jack
competition is held, and an order OF
knighthood is conferred on the win
ner, who kneels in the center of the
green while the other players gather
round him and the master touches
him with a sword and dubs him sir. "

London and Its Lumber.

London is the most conservative city
in Europe, IL not in the world. 1t loves
its lumber. You may still see those
notices attached to lamp posts which
announces Standing for Four Hack
ney Carriages, or whatever the mum
ber may be. though for ten years (in
one case. to my own knowledge for
twenty-fve) no vehicles OF any kind
have stood there. Perhaps it is as well
that these relics should remain; they
are a tiny part OF our social history
They will probcbly remain when we
are flying TO dinner or the theater in
omni-aeros. By that time people won't
know what hackney carriage" meant
and there will be discussions in the
Notes and Queries" OF the period
For each generation hands down to the
next certain nuts to crack.

Catching Files Pays Well.

Catching flies Is affording a Shreve-
port Ua.) man a profitable and inde-
pendent living. He sells them TO the
city board OF health. His name is
Bartsch, and his net revenue from the
fly industry for the first two days OF a
recent week was s24.20. When the
health board began offering premiums
for the flies. dead or alive. Bartsch
purchased about 100 traps and placed
them in fly-ridden sections of the city
Then he began making inroads on the
health boards exchequer, and so well
did he operate that he bore the market
price down from so cents TO 20 cents a
quart, for IL is by that measure that
the board purchases. Bartsch is still
working, and he will work as long as
the treasury holds out. He finds fy
catching pays.

BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality Of Diners 10 Shown In
Their Various Methods #
Eating.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured
this out, bat he did not!
The average Englishman will al
ways demand his egg boiled just
three minutes, then he places IL In an
egg cup. just large enough TO have
the egg fit IL, taps the top Of the
shell, and removes the broken shell
with his fingers. The egg is eaten a
spoonful at a time.
A Frenchman, much like the Eng
lishman. likes his eggs Of three min
utes, exactly. He then "peels" them,
places them In glass, stirs and
mixes we'll together with salt, pepper
and butter. He makes practice OF
dipping bread into the mixture, and
eating II along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouldn't think OF letting
his egg boil more than one minute.
He then breaks IL, and let's the con-
tents run into a glass, and consumes
II as II be were drinking a glass OF
wine
An egg is only fit In an Italians
estimation when 1t has been placed
in cold water, and removed just as
the water begins to boil He then
breaks II. pours It on a plate, and
proceeds 20 sop IT with bread.
The German, like the Italian, de-
mands his eggs as near the liquid
state as possible. He breaks his eggs
In an unsightly cup. and scoops the
liquid out as IL It were soup.
The American is about the only one
who prefers his eggs boiled hard.
When they are served up to him, he
knifes them in half, removes the con-
tents into a glass, after which he
adds a plentiful supply of pepper, but
ter and salt He then minces the
eggs fine. mixing them we'll with the
spices, and eats them with his toast.

| SAVES TIME AND TROUBLE
Case for Delicate Centerplece Not
Hard to Make, and ls Especial
ly Valuable.

IL is sometimes a difficult matter
to keep centerpieces from becoming
crushed after laundering, so many
women make a case in which to roll
them. Purchase q piece OF cretonne
one and quarter yards long and at
one end turn up hem wide enough
to cover n pole an inch in diameter
and in length trife shorter than the
width OF the cretonne. When choos-
ing the material select dainty de-
sign showing alternate stripes OF flow-
ers and n delicate color.
Bind the three sides with half-inch
washable ribbon, stitching 1t neatly
either by hand or on the machine.
Attach three pieces of ribbon to the
end. These are used to tie the case
when the centerpieces are rolled In
place.
This is an especially useful article.
and should be added TO the linen
chest, and there will never be any
need OF pressing a centerpiece before
1t Is fit to place on the dining table.
1t requires only a short time TO make
an attractive case of this variety, and
you will never cease to sing It's
praises when 1t has saved you much
Inconvenience.
Now that you have supplied a case
! for the centerpieces. provide like ar
ticles for the doilies of your luncheon
set. From cardboard cut two circular
pieces an inch wider than the plate
| doilles and two others an inch wider
| than the diameter OF the tumbler
doilies. Cover these with cotton wad-
ding and sprinkle with lavender.
Using Cretonne to match the cen
terpiece case, cut circular pieces
enough to cover the top and bottom
| of the disks. Allow a half inch for
turning in all around, and neatly whip
stitch the two together or baste rough
ly and bind with the half-inch ribbon
At three places attach pieces OF rib
bon with which to tie the cases shut
when the doilies are placed between
the two sections. A set OF cases fol
luncheon set would make a most
acceptable gift to prospective bride
or TO the systematic housewife who
likes a place for everything.

Pad the ironing board with thick

board on the table and cut a piece OF
heavy muslin SO it will fit the board
loosely. Seam 1t up, leaving the slip
open at each end. Make two of these
slips and change them frequently,

REGULATION Weiuht,

There is only one way to regulate
body weight, and that is by the nat
ural method-by diet, exercise, bath
ing, etc.-by alimentation and elimina-
ton. The nostrums advertised to take
off flesh without change OF diet are all
dangerous. Be sure of that, and avoid
them. The same diet that will put
flesh on a thin man will take flesh off
a fat one. In other words, a natural
diet produces a natural condition Of
the body.
