BASE BALL
Attawaugan went Home Without the
 Bacon After Hard Fight
Years Largest Crowd Sees Years Best
 Game

The largest gathering of fans that has turned out to see DeVines Ponies go through their paees this year was on hand last Saturday They thorough ly enjoyed tue occasion. Their team won, there was plenty Of excitement and uncertainty Attawaugan put up stubborn fight. and there was some good base ball. True there were one 7of two bone.hesd plays, yellow hued error or two but Il was just enough so the fans wouldn't get the idea they were watching any worlds series and it helped in the uncertainty and kept ihe rooiets on edge until the last man was out
 Altawaugan came up determined 10 carry home the game. They had Hamel and Andef.on of Wiilimanlie doing the battery work and they showed up well. There is no question about Attawaugan < having good, serappy little team and they showed some good paees, especially in the way they took advantage Of opportunities 10 steal bases. It was due to errors in the field and battery that gave Put. nam their needed runs. hamel was no easy mark for local batsmen and they only found him for i've safeties and these were scattered.
 Dubois and Wells did the honors for Putnam. The game went over two hours. Wells spoiled i've min- utes an inning by carrying the ball around instead Of throwing 1t so he can be charged with forty.tiye min. ules which deducted brings the game down to normal. Dubois showed good form again and was keeping the hitting down He Was taken out in the slh, not because he was not work. ing well, but because Manager Devine was taking no chances with the scrap. py bunch from down the line and thought change Of pace was sure winner at that stage with his Ponies three nuns to the good. Martin show ed up everything, speed, curves and control with quick breaking splitter that even drew a smile from the bat ters who looked foolish when they went after t. six men faced him in the two innings, five went to the bench on slrkes and one hit iitue easy bounding gfounder into West $ hands.

Do You Read Labels?

Domestic science teachers and food authorities are urging the housewife to carefully read the labels on all food articles.
 The laws of most States compel food manufacturers to print the ingredients Of their products CT the label, and this enables consumers to distinguish health ful foods from those which may be Geleterlous.
 Hign-grade baking powders are made CT pure cream Of tartar, derived from grapes. Royal Bak- ing PoRder i 8 a type of the highest grade. It Is hea1thfu1 beyond doubt and the safest and best to use.
 The 1oE-grade baking poEders are made from alum, mineral acid salt, or phosphate of lime.
 Consumers can learn the char aeter Of the baking poRder by referring to the label, which must state whether the cont ents include cream of tartar, alum or phosphate.

the name of something that flies. For
instance, he may say the bluebird flies.
thistle down flies, a feather flies, Il
monoplane flies, and so on. The same
word cannot be used twice, and limit
to the number of different kinds of
birds might be set to make the game
more difficult. If the child pointed at

A pou Which Thought.

AS q rule. dog that has been train
ed to hunt oppossums or raccOous
wants to be after them all the time.
Jeff. Louisiana dog, was different.
Once Il week appeared to be his limit:
anything more he regarded as an i'm
position. When forced into coon
hunt while not in the humor he would
start into the woods with apparent
eagerness. and pretty soon his peculiar
bark would be heard. The men and
boys would run in the direction of the
sound. but couldn't find Jeff. Sudden
lv from another direction would come
the bark, and there would be another
rush This sort of hunt would be kept
up for perhaps two hours, and then it
would end at the starting point. and
Jeffs last triumphant bark would come
from under the porch, whence he had
been routed out. In the end they had
to let Jeff pick his own time for
hunting frOlic.

Cross Country Run.

This game is suitable for either warns
or cold weather provided the ground is
dry. 1t is so vigorous. however. that
only those comparatively young and III
good health should participate. Select
two persons and provide each with 4
sack full Of scraps of paper. Let them
start out with instructions to go where
they please. but to leave trail of pa
per scraps After they have been gone
fifteen minutes start the remainder on
the trail. The object of the leaders IS
to escape, while the purSuerS try to
catch them. This game has almost in
finite variations. The leaders may
make matters interesting by crossing
and recrossing the trail, though this
may be forbidden. Limitations may be
set as to the distance between scraps
of paper or the territory to be trav-
ersed. If the weather is warm both
leaders and pursuers may be limited to
a walk For girls and women this is
always advisable. - Country Gentle
