BOWLERS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN
PLAY AGAIN TOMORROW NIGHT
Jeds VS.. Royals Will Be Most Noteworthy
Conflict in the Several Ciircuits-Spirited
Contests Expected in Future.

| marked the many close contests OF the
| fall months. Those clubs which still
have q chance for the pennants will
exert every effort to make up ground
| on the leaders. while those that are on
top are sure to leave no stone unturned
won after hard battles.
In only a few of the circuits are the
best teams scheduled to play in the
opening games. Perhaps the most note
| that between the Jeds and Royals in
the District League. These two clubs
have been fighting each other all year,
and their entrance into the last half
| of the season is likely to be marked
by some brilliant play. In the Southern
ers, leading the organization. are to
roll against the Treasurers, now IN
third place.
The last stretch of the bowling sea-
son is about to begin. and the real
margin by which the lead is held in
| the majority of organizations is SO
small as to allow a change in position
almost as a result of a single match.
1 In fact, there are some circuits where
clean sweep made against the club in
| top position would throw it down into
| third place. In only one or two leagues
| can the leading clubs feel in any wise
secure, and there is NOT a single one
| in which the championship is won by
any means. No team can rest on its
oars and accept it's title as good as
cinched.
The Star outfit will get chance to
! make up some ground on the Wells
bachs in the Commercial League when
it rolls against Pepco. Pepco may prove
unexpectedly good and prevent the
what it expects, but that is not looked
for.

Some highly illuminative figures or

Some Base Ball Figures.
Ablest of all the base ball men of

Over this sprinkle one-half cup

Sponge Cake-This cake requires
no butter or lard, no milk or baking

FOURTH OF JULY LEMONADE

The best lemonade is made with
boiling water. Three lemons make
a quart of lemonade.
Scrub and rinse lemons thorough
ly. Chip off the thin outer skin of
some of the lemons and steep for ten
minutes in little boiling water. Cut
two thin slices from the center of
each lemon and lay to one side.
Press juice from the lemons, using
corrugated glass or lemon squeezer.
Add to the juice sugar to make as
sweet as desired, then pour on the
proper amount of boiling water to-
gether with the strained water from
the Clipped yellow peel. Let stand
until cold, then if not ready to use,
stand in the icebox until needed.
Serve with slices Of lemon, cou-
pie to each glass.

dition of little pink coloring mat
