MAKE CHANGE IN MENU
DISHES WITHOUT MEAT AFFORD
VARIETY TO DIET.
I'm ported Recipes Economical and On
isuai-ltaIian Methods of Com

Appetizing Manner.

Although meat furnishes heat for
the body, and therefore is necessary
in cold countries and cold seasons, a
relief from a meat diet is welcomed
by every one and affords variety to
a diet that gives beneficial results.
The combination dishes fit in very
well, furnishing in their double and
triple form more appetizing and
nourishing fare. These allow the
housewife to ring the changes on one
dish and to use left-overs in an at
tractive form.
We can resort to European coun-
tries for inspiration. France, Italy,
Germany give countless recipes that
are economical and unusual. They
are good to eat, too. very important
fact to be considered.
In Italy there is wealth of cheap.

GUN FOR PITCHING BASEBALL
Not Intended for Use in Game, But to
Give 5atters Opportunity for
Unlimited Practice.

A baseball pitching gun invented
some years ago by Prof. c. H. Hinton
of Princeton university is described,
with illustrations, in the Popular Me-
chanics magazine. This gun, resem-
bling a cannon in appearance, and
hurting a ball by means of gas shot
into its breach from an ordinary re-
peating rife, was not designed to- take
the place of pitcher IN game, but
to give batters an opportunity for un-
limited practice.
This gun was successful in that 1t
would actually throw curves and
throw them accurately, but there was
one defect that could not be over
come, due to the human equation"
The gun never failed to inspire fear
in the batter That the batter would
know just when the ball was coming,
an electric wire was run to the bat
ters' box. and by stepping on the plate
the circuit was closed and the blank
cartridge in the rife fired. The aver
age batter would step on this plate
and then jump back about four feet,
letting the ball go by. Another draw
back was the fact that the hot gases
soon acted on the covers of the balls
and made them as hard as bricks.
An almost unlimited range of speed
was obtained by making the tube con-
Meeting the breech of the gun, into
which the rife was discharged, tele-
scopic. The shorter the tube, the
greater the force. Rubber-faced curv-
ing fingers, adjustable to any plane
about the muzzle caused the ball to
curve, "out" or "in," or drop" differ
ent sets of fingers giving different de-
grees of curve.

The luckless pair of digits hitched
on to the century numbers of the
present year record jinx season in
deed for four of the finest that ever
donned the great games spangles.
1871 Baseball history will long re-
call the hoodoo season for the waning
four.

Names to conjure with in the last de-
cade of baseball achievements-fou
gigantic figures against the back

veteran performers whose prowess
seemed never dimmed by feeting
time! Has 1913 dimmed it indeed?
In the case Of one Of the immortal
four at least 1913 has written ''finis"
on his big league career. Clark Grit
fifth released George Mullin to Mon
treal, and the hero of three Detroit
worlds championships passed forever
from the big tent.
Mullin has for years been one of the
greatest stars of the younger league.
He broke into the limelight in 1901,
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1913-08-20

Griff wanted him for his ability in 1912
to beat Philadelphia and Boston. But
Mullin would not hold either this year,
Mullins 1913 history is replica of
that of Big Barney Petty, whom Griff
took by waiver from the Browns last
season.
In Big Ed Walsh the American
league may lose one more Of it's great
stars. Is Walsh weakening? So his
teammates and the scribes who have
watched him say. Teams that have
batted against the old Sox wonder say
that his famous splitter does not break
as fast as of yore And Walsh may
be done. Years of the terrific strain
of his fast ball and spitball delivery
have worn down once invincible
wing.
Walsh has been of little assistance
to the Sox this year. Considering how
grandly the veteran White and young
Russell from this league are going,
Callahan might be pushing Mack hard
were Walsh the old Ed. But he
rounded to slowly during the spring
training, and in his few games was
batted hard. His arm then was found
to be impaired and he was given a
long layoff Callahan declared the 9TH
er day that Walsh was coming back
better than ever, but the skeptical
shake their heads.
And yet Walsh. like Mullin. had a

pionship can never be forgotten
But if Walsh has worn down, the
Sox will look long and far before they
find his like, "hs!!ed as 2 great games
hero. crowned with great games
crown"
The cases of Lajoie and Wagner are
still too fresh in mind to merit repeti-
ton. Neither may be done. Each of
these Vikings Of the stick is still high
in his leagues batting and in enough
games to warrant the certainty that
their stickwork is unimpaired. AS far
as Lajoie is concerned, it is claimed
that the great Frenchman has been SO
badly affected by injuries that he has
been slowed down so phenomenally
that he will never again be great
fielder. For several seasons Lajoie
has failed to cover the ground he for
merly traversed. And to those who
recall how the great Glevelander took
the hard chances, this merely means
that he had gone back to ordinary
fielding 1t is doubtful if there has
ever been a superior to the big Blue
on his bag in his prime. Lajoie is still
with Cleveland and his fellow players
are credited with the belief that the
recent trouble with Birmingham has
been patched up.
Wagner himself will not admit that
he Is done for, but the Teuton's leg
is not as it should be.
