TRACK CANDIDATES
At WESTERN HIGH
Georgetown Coach Will Help
Red and White This
Winter.

Western High School track athletics
received boost today when it was an
nounced that James Mulligan would
take charge of the track candidates.
The Georgetown coach will spend a
part of each day at the Western High
School developing and training the track
team. His reputation is well known and
Western is assured of having one of the
best track teams in its history.
Some forty candidates responded to
the call sent out by Captain Jones.
While no announcements have been
made of the plans for the winter cam
paign II is expected that the Red and
White athletes will confine their work
TO the development of relay teams and
will later take I'D outdoor work in
preparation for the annual spring meet.
Western has a number of good men
left over from last year, and the new
men reporting have already shown
enough to warrant the prediction that
the Red and White will be heard from
this year.

CROUCH IN RUNS

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Jan. n.-some-
body started discussion down East
lately as to who the man was who put
the crouch In starting sprints, and ever
since then the pot has been boiling right
busily and claimants by the score have
been pushed into the limelight by this
writer and by that one until 1t begins to
look as though every one caught the
idea at once. Here is the latest and
best bet. however. and it looks to be
worth play:
On no less an authority than Steve
Farrell, the veteran trainer of the Uni
versity of Michigan teams. II Is an
nounced that Mike Donlin, Attlebury.
Mass, and at present running a hotel
at Pawtucket, R. L, Is the man who
first introduced the revolutionary form

chance of making good as soon as he
learns something.
THE lad is very fast In the field and

principally because OF no-hit game
New Orleans players are known, were
touring Cuba this fall. He pitched
not only a no-hft game, but a twelve
inning no-hit game.
Almeida, the Cuban Cincy third base
man, was so impressed with CuIlop that
he insisted that Garry Hermann should
get hold Of him. Thus the Red man
did the Sox.
Connie Mack, too, heard about him
and It Is said that he has had his
weather eye on the youngster for some
time.
Cullop has been in professional base

twenty-one years old He learned the
game at a college near his home In vfr-

the report that President Charles
Somers of the Toledo club paid him
5000 in cash for Chappy.
1t is a comparatively easy matter for
Peter to pay Paul and set a new figure
In the price.
But this is not the only instance in
which things are not what they SEEM
The wise ones say that Red Corrf-
den, formerly Tiger, was bought for
5000 cash and that the rest Of the re-
ported $3.50 price was made up Of pay

MarQuard's 81, 900 begins to look puny

FIRST COLONISTS
HAD FEW LUXURIES

~ ARLY Yankees brought over
scant supplies of household fur
= nishings. They came in small
ships, wdhich provided scarcely
enough room for themselves, their pro-
visions, clothing, ammunition and 9TH
er absolute necessities of life. Fortu-
nately, says the Boston Globe, they
found in the new country a number of
things which served them well in ev-
eryday housekeeping.
The first settlers of Plymouth built
rude huts for their first homes. The
people who came over with Winthrop
in June, 1880, either built huts with
tents of cloth till they could provide
themselves with better shelter" So
Hawthorne relates. Some settlers dug
little caves in the hillsides and rooted
them over with branches of trees.
Many settlers made log cabins, but
they lacked tools for furniture max
ing.
The kitchen was the chief room in
these early homes. It served as a
place for cooking, eating, sleeping and
was often used as workshop. The
fireplace was one of the important fur
nishings of the kitchen. Stoves were
unknown. First fireplaces were of
green logs covered with clay, and
fresh roots weer used for andiron ma
king. jerks established his iron
works in Saugus in 1913 and made
kitchen ware of iron. Meats were
roasted on a spit of green wood or
were hung in the fire from green hick-
DRY switches.
Furnishings of Early Kitchens.
Early settlers commonly ate their
meals in the kitchen, as did New Eng
landers for several generations. Some
settlers brought tables with them
from England. Others made tables of
boards from packing cases coming in
from England
Food was served on wooden trays.
Trenches, or wooden trays. were used
even at Harvard college. Crockery
