BASEBALL NOTES

Enos Kirkpatrick made a capable
substitute for Jake Daubert in the
Brooklyn lineup yesterday. Kirk had
fourteen putouts at first base and
made half of his teams hits off
Griner, collecting two singles and a
triple.
Bob Fisher led the Infants in driv-
ing In runs last month with seven
teen tallies to his credit. And then
Dahlen is kicking about Fishers
work.
Stack got away from Brooklyn and
Immediately pitched a winning game.
Stack started his National League ca
reer with the Cubs, was traded to
the Quakers and then to Brooklyn.
Now he is back with his first love.
They dubbed him Smoke" Stack on
his first appearance in Chicago be-
cause of his speed. He lost It while
al Brooklyn--both the speed and the
name, but now he's back in Joe
Woods class with the old smoke stuff.
An outfielder who gets very few
press notices, but who is a topnotcher
in every sense of the word, is Harry
Hooper, of the Red Sox. He Is not
exactly slugger, but he has no flaw
in any department of the game. He
is good hitter, an adept at bunting,
draws many passes, and is an excel
lent base runner, Hooper had two
doubles and scored two runs for the
Red Sox yesterday. His brilliance is
somewhat shaded because he plays
on the same team as iris Speaker.
Tristram had three bingles yesterday.

Similar information comes from

1t is held as substantial proof that
Oregon and Washington can be de-
veloped into the best corn-producing
territory in the United States. 1t is
only a few years since the corn
growing propaganda first was
preached. Farmers then said corn
wouldn't grow here. The agricul-

WATCHING WATER FREEZE.
An Easy Way to Make the Growth Of
Ice Crystals Visible.

Ice Crystals Visible.
1t is not commonly known that fresh
water may sometimes be "colder than
Ice" and that the growth Of ice crystals
may be- made plainly visible An in
teresting experiment to show this may
easily be made.
Fill a clean pint bottle with distilled
water. Make a hole in the stopper
large enough to let the thermometer
pass through It The kind of ther-
mometer used in physical laboratories
Is most convenient Insert the stop
per in the bottle and let the thermome-
ter reach nearly to the bottom.
Pack snow or ice and salt round the
bottle as you would pack an ice cream
freezer. If the bottle is not Jared
the temperature may be seen to drop
several degrees below the freezing
point without freezing the water
If the stopper and thermometer are
now removed and small piece of ice
free from any trace of salt is inserted
In the bottle andfpushed down into the
water crystals Of ice may be seen to
shoot out in all directions from it
After this experiment has been tried
you will have some understanding of
the network of ice girders which is be-
