BOILING AN EGG.
II u Gives You Trouble You Might
Try John RandoIph's Way.


The boiling of an egg seems simple
matter. but many breakfast has been
spoiled and many temper rasped by
the cooks failing to observe the pre-
else number of minutes the process
should occupy.
That very original man, John Ran
dolph, is said to have invented a meth.
cd of getting his eggs cooked exactly
to his taste that worked perfectly. As
is the case in many country homes in
the south. the kitchen was in a sep
arate building at some distance from
the house, and servants were plenty.
When the sage Of Roanoke" took
his seat at the breakfast table there
was a line of servants from the dining
room to the kitchen. Mrs. Randolph
the mother Of the statesman. held an
open watch in her hand.
TN" exclaimed Mr.. Randolph, and
the word 'in" was passed from mouth
to mouth until it reached the waiting
cook, who dropped the eggs into the
water. After the requisite number OF
seconds the holder Of the timepiece
signifed that the cooking was done
"Out" went forth the command il
like manner. and the eggs were quick
~ removed.
The system required six or seven
servants to cook one egg, but Randolph
was accustomed to declare that tli-
was the only way that he could get i
cooked to suit him.-Youth's Compan

CHICAGO, Nov1nber 7.-Thc Ameri-
can League went on record yesterday as
opposing Garry Hermann. chairman OF
the national commission and president OF
the Cincinnati Reds, in his scheme OF
arranging an inter.eague series of
games at the close of the two major
league seasons. The American League at
it's annual meeting, which began yester-
day, held that the worlds series scheme
suited it's fancy and refused to have any
thing to do with the plan of Hermann
whereby the teams of the American and
the National would play post-season
series games
The magnates of the American League
also declared that they favored the de-
mands of the players fraternity: that is
as a whole. The magnates were careful
not to stipulate what demands they IA
vored, and they We're just as careful not
to be bound by any action. At the end
Of their meeting it was announced that
the demands of the players had been
discussed in an informal manner.
The meeting was about as devoid of
action and excitement as the session OF
a major league could be. Though all OF
the clubs were represented, only two OF
the managers We're in attendance, and
il there was anything done In the trad

date. OF course. this did not clinch 1t, as
the schedule committee has the power,
but that Is the date which will be sug-

President Johnson also appointed a
committee to discuss the playing rules.
The president of the American League is
the chairman of this committee and Pres

other members. They will meet a COM

put this in the form of motion. The
others agreed and it was voted that the

had to contain something about 1t and

which will be hoisted some time next
summer
That was the extent OF the business
transacted by the directors. The mag
mates then met for the annual session.
which lasted something like two hours.
During that time they agreed that though
Garry Hermann might be wonderful
man as head of the national commission,
he had erroneous ideas when 1t came to
arranging post-season series. 1t will be
remembered that he put forth a scheme
by which both of the major league sea-
sons would be cut short and the teams of
the National League would then tackle
those OF the American. There wasn't
magnate in the junior organization who
could see that, and the vote was eight
to nothing in favor of the present system
of 154 games and worlds series.
Discuss Players Grievances.
Then came the grievances of the play
ers. 1t was stated that no official COM
munication had been received and that
without this an informal discussion only
could be had. The magnates agreed that
the demands as a whole were reasonable
and just and should be compiled with.
But they declined to take up the griev.
ances article by article. so. though the
demands may be considered just as
whole, there is nothing to indicate that
any particular paragraph would be al
