THE SQUEEZE PLAY,

Its Success Hangs on the Batter His.
ting the Ball to the Ground. ID.
The squeeze play is one of the pretti.
est in baseball when successful. When
it fails no play makes a ball team look
more foolish. The play is best worked
with one out, runner on third and a
run needed to either tie or win the
game. Many of the best base runners
when about to make the play create
the impression that there is no inten-
ton of pulling it by taking only a fair
lead off the base and standing still.
The very moment the pitcher starts
his movement the man on third tears
for the plate.
If in any way the intention to use
the play is tipped off or foreseen it is
an easy matter for the catcher to
break it up by calling for a waste ball
that is so wide of the plate that it is
impossible for the batter to bunt it. 1t
is an easy matter to touch the base
runner out and make the team trying
the squeeze appear ridiculous. But a
successful completion of the play usu-
ally puts the team in the field in the
air and makes them look equally fool
ish. -. -..... 49,.
The squeeze play does not call for a
hard hitter or a good hitter, but it
does call for a man with q good eye, Il
fellow who invariably hits the ball.
even though it may not go safe. If
the batsman bunts the ball in the air
an easy double play is usually the re-
suit. If he is able to keep the ball on
fair ground there is seldom a chance
to stop the run at the plate. 1t is not
necessary to have a fast man on third
to make this play, for most of the play
depends on the ability of the batsman
to keep the ball on the ground.-Billy
Evans in St. Nicholas.

First TALKING Machine.

The recording of vibrations of a
membrane was first accomplished by
Leon Scott In 1857, by the invention Of
what he called "phonautograph."
This is regarded as the precursor of
the modern photograph. The actual re-
production OF sound was first achieved
by Thomas Alva Edison in 1876 and
first patented by him in 1877, the pat
emit being dated in January of that
year. There had been, Of course, sew
eraI experiments and Improvements
between. The first method of recording
vibrations of a tuning fork on the sur
face OF drum was discovered by
Thomas Young in 1907. Alexander
Graham Bell and 8. fainter patented
the graphophone In 1885. Emile Ber-
liner patented the gramophone in 1887.

THE Y0LK OF AN EGG.
IL 10 Good Predisested Food, While the
White Is Not.

II Is Good Predisested Food, While the
White Is Not.
1t has long been known that many
persons cannot eat even perfectly fresh
eggs without suffering all the symp-
toms of violent poisoning.
The egg has two parts-the yolk in
side and the white outside. The white
Is the part of the egg that the chicken
is made of-the part that makes the
bones, the feathers and the flesh. The
yoik, however, is what the chicken
lives on. 1t Is a dinner basket placed
there by nature for the infant chicken.
1t Is little lunch put up for the young
life within the egg to support it until
1t gets out of the shell. for the chicken
must eat inside the shell as well as
outside, and the yolk Is little bundle
of predigested food that nature has
prepared for the chicken to eat before
1t energies into the world.
Thus we see that the yolk is food,
whereas the white Of the egg never
was intended to be eaten. Really it il
not at to be eaten. 1t has some food
value, 1t Is true. 1t can be utilized I'M
der some circumstances, but it is not
good food. The yolk Is the only part
Of the egg that really is wholesome
food. 1t is digested very quickly, too,
recent Investigations showing that the
yolk is digested entirely in the stom-
ach. There is some fat In the yolk,
there Is some protein in the yolk and
some carbohydrate in the yolk, and all
are digested in the stomach.
The fat OF the yolk is of a peculiar
kind. 1t is more readily digested in
the stomach than any other fat, al
though other emulsified fats are also
to some degree digested in the stom-
ach.-Dr. ]. FL. Kellogg in Good Health
