like this:

told them to be on their way. A few

went on while the Tigers waved red
fiannels at Phyle from the clubhouse.

Happy Hogan admitted yesterday
that he had no drafts in for players.
The ones that looked good to him have
been picked up by the major league
clubs.
Il had my eyes on several promis-
ing youngsters" said Hogan last
night. but they were scooped up by
the big leagues. 1t is simply case
of buying players If you need men. I
have found this out a long time ago."
1t is expected when the powers of
the major and minor leagues come to-
gether in their annual baseball pow
WOW at the conclusion of the baseball
season. this point will be one of the
main issues that will come up for dis
cussion. Minor league club managers
from various parts of the country
realize that they get by far the worst
of the break through the draft sys-
TEN, and they are strong for a revis-
ion of this rule.
The spectators were treated TO a
little excitement yesterday at Recre-
alton park when the Venice players
who resented 1t by ordering all the
loose material on the bench to the
clubhouse.
Ordinarily IL would have been q
dull afternoon, as the game was a
iistiess one, because Harry Ables
showed plainly that he was too much
for the Tigers. A decision in the
fourth inning. and the fact that they
were getting trounced probably riled
the Tigers
This decision was a. play at third
Hogan maintained that Buck OBrien
who was on the coaching line, put his
hands on Zacher as the latter had
rounded the third base cornor on a
lit and started for home. Hogan
claimed that Zscher was out, as
O,Rrien interfered with him, but
Phvle could not see 1T that way.

WHY NOT BETTER BABIES?
In the Campaign for Better Corn.
Better Pigs and Better Cattle,
Better Babies Should Not
BE Forgotten.

In the Woman's Home Compan-
ion appears the first complete report
of new campaign that is springing
up in this country with astonishing
virility-a campaign for Better Ba-
bies." A year or two ago woman
in Iowa, Mrs. Mary T. Watts, con-
ceived the idea that in this state the
principal enthusiasm among the peo-
pie was for better cattle, better corn,
better hogs and all that sort of thing.
At the county and state fairs there
had been occasional baby shows. ;"
but the whole purpose of them was
to pick out and reward babies for
their attractiveness rather than for
their health and development. In
other words the baby was simply a
side show for entertainment, and not
taken seriously, while in every other
exhibit or contest science ruled and
the object was to cultivate among the
people knowledge of the best ways
to produce better products.
Mrs. Watts saw that Iowa was ne
glecting her most valuable crop-her
corp of babies. With the co-opera-
ton of a physician, DR.. Nj. V. Clark,
she organized a real baby contest.
The object was to award prizes to
those children who made the best
physical showing Doctor Clark pre-
pared score cards, the principal items
of which were adapted from the cards
used in Judging cattle and animals of
various kinds. These cards formed
the basis of a scientific inquiry calcu-
lated to reveal the strength and phys
ical and mental efficiency of the child
examined.
The results of this first contest
were appalling. They showed that
Iowa had better corn, and cattle than
babies, and awakened public sentiment
to a wide study of those matters that
concern the care of children-diet,
clothes, baths. One child who had re-
ceiyed a low marking in the first con-
test won a prize in the second be-
cause the mother had carried out the
suggestions as to the child's diet and
care which she never would have
heard of had it not been for the
aroused state of the public mind.
| This year many states are going
to have scientific baby shows in con-
nection with live stock shows and
state fairs Women's clubs, newspa-
pers and physicians are awake ana
one of the most important world
movements has begun.

Useful Accomplishments.

Every woman wants coy corner
all her own-be that corner humble
or a mansion.
Every woman who does not have
the home longing is abnormal. Home
is made up of little things.
One of the largest of these little
things is the ability to cook whole
some food.
Sewing and music are next. A wo-
man might be as homely as can be
but if she can cook good dinner
make dress, and let her moods slil
off her finger tips on piano, tha'
woman will have chance for truly
happy home thousand per cent bet
ter than her beautiful neighbor, who
cannot even make an apron and COOKS
badly for her family.
Mothers, whether you have money
or not, teach your daughters all the
useful and necessary things in lie
so they will make good, homeiiKe
wives and mothers.
