When the eighth and final period
opened the American four were lead
ing by fraction of point, but de-
spite. their desperate efforts they could
not better the advantage. Each team
scored goal in this period, but the
defenders, in their anxiety to clinch
the victory, transgressed the rules by
sharp crossing and were penalized for
fouling.
1t was the desperate style of the
Americans play and the lack of per-
fect team work that finally wrought
their downfall, for they lost in penal
ties IA points out Of gross S, while
the English were penalized only /
point, retaining of their 5 goals.
The cup defenders fought gamely
and at one time were a quarter of a
point in the lead In the last period.
however, Captain Barrett drove a goal
which put the Britishers ahead, and
Milburn was penalized for fouling.
Ihis spelled Americas doom.

. HINTS FOR SUMMER 4
= HOW TO KEEP COOL 4
s~%>>>>>>>>>>>>

NEW YORK, June 17.-"Stay on
the wagon!" is you would be comfort
able these hot days. Such is the ad-
vice of the department of health.
Further, be not deceived by old
Brother Alcohol and all his cohorts.
1t is hot under the collar" no matter
how cool it may seem. The man of
the subway "ad," who appears to be
cool when manufacturing a rickey is
soon perspiring as freely as the bottle
before him, but because he is warm
on the inside and the bottle is cool.
In tearing off the mask from
Comrades Hickey, Highball, Mint Ju-
lep, etc, the health authorities give
them credit for only temporary re-
lief, followed by reaction.
There is no objection to drinking"
said the piece of summer reasoning,
''but it should be of considerable
quantities of cold water, and even ice
water, contrary to the belief which
the public honors in theory and vio-
lates in practice. Iced tea and coffee
are agreeable during hot weather AMI
are harmless in most adults If not
INDUCED in to excess"
Water on the outside is recommend
ed as highly as on the inside. In this
regard the advice is:
Gold baths are agreeable and ben
eficial. and their number need only
be limited by the opportunities of the
individual"
This is the hot weather menu:
''The diet should be light, consist
ing for the greater part of fish, fruits
and vegetables.
Meat should be eaten only once
day"
