Every other year without exception
the Giants laid II away over thei,
rivals. 1t Is true that the two local
teams finished second in either league
IN 1910. The Giants were mucn

Forest Cady is now rated as one OF
the best catchers IN the majors. An
injury to Leslie Nunarnaker. another
member OF the Boston catching stan,
made II possible for Cady 70 attain his
present prominence In the baseball
world He had the ability TO take ad-
vantage of the opportunity.
Early IN the season Bill Carrigan
and Nunamaker were regarded as the
two regulars on the Boston catching
staff, with Cady and Thomas acting
as bench warmers, ready TO jump in
at the chance. Nunamaker had join

Wins Game From
Richmond College

Especial TO The Richmond Virginian.)
ASHLAND. VA, Jan. 25.--The first
game of the first championship series
ever arranged between the four rival
colleges composing the Eastern VIZ
ginia league, resulted in an easy vic
tory for the strong quint of RAN
dolph- Macon gymnasium. The final
score was SO to IS.
The game started off without very
good form on the part Of either team,
and though the yellow Jackets held
the ball most of the time the close
guarding of the visitors kept them
from scoring until the game was well
started.
The Spiders managed to make the
first basket which was not until three
minutes OF the game had gone. and
up to this time they held their own.
Brown. the strong center, was hurt
in the first five minutes of play, de-
laying the game somewhat. He took
his place and soon the splendid team
work OF the Yellow Jackets was I'M
derway.
Their superiority asserted itself,
and the Spiders were helpless TO
check the rapidly increasing score.
Manager Walker played beautiful
game for the Fellow Jackets and this,
with the constant scoring of Captain
Mtilican and Brown, gave the home
team big lead In the first half,
the score being % to 6.
The second half started with the
same men on the floor who had play
ed in the first half. but soon Hopkins
went in for Wray. Pitt for Tatem,
Compton for Brown. Woodhouse for
Walker and Shelley. This half was
merely a repetition of the first, ex-
cepting that the visitors slightly i'm
proved.
For the Spiders. hubert and Cap
tain Brock played a good game.

remark that the Room was now bat
ting so and SO.
On the first trip of the Red Sox to
St Louis Nunamaker was unfortu-
nate enough to break finger. 1t was
a very unfortunate thing for him. but
a very fortunate thing for Cady and
the Boston club. When after an ex-
animation by the trainer 1t was EVIL
dent that Nunauaaker would be un-
able to play. he yelled TO Cady, who
was warning up a bit. preparatory TO
entering the game;
There's your chance to make
good; be sure to keep up the reputa-
ton of the room"
Just watch me, Mummy" answered
cady. with smile. From now on
we change places"
Cady certainly made good his
threat, which was made half as a
Joke and half in earnest. From that
day he shared catching honors with
Carrigan. He got his chance and
made good. 1t was quite a trick to
turn, for there isn't a club in the
majors who would not jump at a
chance to get Nunarnaker.

DOOM OF STEAM LocoMoTloN
Cost Of Electrical Operation Praeti
eaiIy About Five-Eiohths Of That
Of Former Power.

The pioneers In the substitution OF
electric motive power for steam upon
the railroads merely hoped that the
costs of operation would be smaller
than they were under the old system.
But they did not know that they would
be. They had no experience to draw
upon. They were compelled by the
circumstances to make the venture.
1t is only within recent months that
they could say that the venture had
paid.
Now, under tests Of varied charac-
ter. It has been demonstrated that the
cost of electric operation is practically
about f1ve-eighths that Of doing the
same work with steam locomotives.
Gays the Toledo Blade. The electric
locomotive has proved to have de-
cided advantages in being able to use
its entire weight for tractive effort,
in making greater mileage per year
than the steam locomotive and in
needing fewer repairs.
The saving is sufficient to warrant
every railroad in the country undertak-
ing the labor of electrifcation. 1t is
sufficient to warrant the public looking
forward to day very near at hand
when the smoke and CRIME making

recent lecture on the subject, de-
scribed the two methods of measur-
Ing temperature by electrical means,
one depending on the increase of cleo
trio resistance OF pure metal with
increase of temperature, and the other
on the production of an electromotive
force In circuit of two metals when
one junction is kept at constant

to the temperature which 1t is desired

We Are Behind In Aviation

Europe is in earnest in seeking the
ultimate conquest of the air, while
America looks on as the spectator Of
contest in which she was once gu
preme. The chief reason why mill
tary aeronauts fail to go ahead in
America is that the government does
mot make the pursuit OF the science re-
munerative enough to attract the best
qualified experts to engage in 1t. The
only way by which America can re-
gain her lost laurels is for the govern
ment to pay its military birdmen lib
orally for their risks and guarantee
the support of their families in case Of
disability or death. At present the
newest military arm Of the service is
undermined, inadeQuately equipped
and poorly paid, notwithstanding the
fact that an American officer perfected
the most deadly bomb dropping device
and thereby secured for our coast de-
lenses an invulnerable offensive ally.
It is time for the government to wake
up or this Question.-Philadelp

PIES THAT ALL ENJOY
AMONG THE VERY BEST OF DEG
sERT CONNECTIONS.
Delicious Chocolate Pie That Calls for
q Number Of noredients-Lemon
Merinsue-Pumpkin Pie Sea-
son Fast Approaching.

For delicious chocolate pie follow
this recipe: Bake a shell In the
meantime melt square of chocolate,
scraped. In saucepan with two-thirds
of a cupful of sugar. Heat two cup
fuis OF milk and add to 1t the melted
chocolate and sugar. and q pinch of
salt. Then mix two tablespoonfuls of
cornstarch with little cold milk, and
add 1t to the heated mixture. Let 1t
cook. stirring 1t constantly. until it is
smooth and thick. Beat the yolks of
two eggs and add them to the mixture
just as you take 1t from the fire. Pour
this chocolate into the cooked crust
and spread over it meringue made of
the two-egg whites beaten stiff with
two heaping tablespoonfuls of granu-
lated sugar.
Prune pie ia made with an uncooked
crust Fill this with stewed prunes
and bake 1t. Make Q suff meringue
OF three-egg whites beaten with three
tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar.
Bake the pie until the crust is brown.
then add the meringue, put it into the
oven until 1t ts slightly Drowned. and
remove.
Lemon meringue pie is such favor
ita that almost every cook has her
fasorite way of making It This IL
one good way: Put tablespoonful of
cornstarch. three-fourths of cupful
of sugar and pinch of salt in a Aowl

DIDN'T KNOW
That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble.

So common is the use of coffee as a
beverage, many do not know that 1t Ia
the cause of many obscure ails which
are often attributed to other things.
The easiest way to find out for one
self Is to quit the coffee for a while,
at least, and note results. A Virginia
lady found out in this way, and also
learned of new beverage that is
wholesome as well as pleasant to
drink. She writes:
Il am 40 years old and all my life,
up to year and half ago, l had

DANGERS OF THE WIRELESS
German Authority Reports That oper.
ators Who Send Signals Suffer
From Impoverished Blood.

The latest in the list of occupational
maladies is wireless operators dis
ease" A German authority reports
that the men who send the G. Q. D.
signals suffer often from impover-
ished blood. headaches and other un-
toward symptoms. That these are d.
rectly due to the powerful electric
waves sent out by their machines has
not been directly proved. but incidents
are cited that make this appear at
least probable, writer in the Literary
Digest asserts. Other conditions only
indirectly connected with wireless te-
legraphy may, of course, add to the
effect. We quote from Cosmos the
following translation in abstract from
Elektrotechnische Zeitschrift:
Wireless telegraphers are subject
to anemia, in which the number Of red
blood globules, as well as their con.
tent of hemoglobin, is diminished.
This malady has certainly various
causes; in the first place. the detective
sanitary conditions of the stations, es-
pecially on board, ship. It is equally
probable that the strong ozonization Of
the air. due to the use OF alternating
currents of high frequency to send the
messages, plays an important part
Similar troubles, such as paleness.
headaches. loss Of appetite and bad
digestion, have often been noted
among the electrical workers en-
ployed in high tension plants. such as
those at Niagara.
THE future will show whether cleo
trio waves have any physiologic ef-
fects. A Viennese physician, DR.. Beer.
has noted the production of subjective
glows when a powerful electric mag
net Is brought near the head.
IAN American electrical engineer
named Collins has made experiments
on sleeping cat and asserts that, un-
der. the influence of electric waves. the
animal leaped into the air as II an
alternating current had been sent
through 1t. Collins concludes that
powerful electric waves may cause
characteristic accidents, possibly fatal
ones. Nevertheless. no absolutely con.
elusive proofs have yet been obtained" :"

TO MoDERNIzE OLD FIXTURES
Anticipated, but Costly Apparatus, Too
Beautiful to Be Thrown Away,
Can Be Renewed.

In thousands of homes there are In
use old. antiquated electric fixtures
much too costly and beautiful to dis
card. The only Objectionable feature
OF most Of these old fixtures is that
the lamps are held at an angle. Ex-
perience has shown that the distribu-
tion of light is greatly improved II
lamps are installed in vertical po-
sition. Therefore all modern fixtures
are provided with vertical outlets.
says the Popular Electricity. BY the
use Of what is called the angle cap
socket the old angle fixtures may be
