Art of Poaching an Egg

A poached egg? Everybody can poach an egg, Far from it, yet 1t IS easy, only requiring little care.
 There is small tin and agate de- vice for the purpose, holding four to six eggs. For poaching or boiling eggs must be strictly fresh. Have water boiling in an agate pan deep enough to cover the eggs; put in half teaspoon ful of salt and vinegar to one quart CT water; break the eggs, one at time,
 in a saucer, and if you do not use poacher cook only two eggs at time; keep the pan in slight motion; as soon as the whites are set" which will be in four minutes if eggs are fresh 1ess time if they are noD, lift each egg carefully with a skinner. place 1t on a piece of nice, crisp, thin, slightly but tered toast: sprinkle to taste with white pepper and salt, serve on hot platter garnished with sprigs of fresh parsley. Serve all cooked eggs as quickly as possible before they become chilled.

FRED'S COMMENT
 ON THE AMATEURS

The cops played their first game yes terday and won. A forfeit gave them the victory. otherwise it might have been a have the honor to say that they have won a game.
 Eddie Roberts will be on the mound again for the Avondae boys Saturday We sincerely hope that Eddie has some luck this time. We suggest that he bor- row horseshoe
 Eddie had what We call real tough luck on his last appearance against the Southern Bell when he refused to grant bingle to the telephoners-and then lost. Every team will not have that sort of luck and it is safe to bet that Eddie will cop a few of these games. If he does that Avondale bunch will be right around the top when the grind is over We hope he will duplicate his last performance.
 Manager Ware has arranged for his tea m to be real winner. He has new ma teral, and it now looks as if the Wood lawners will be an important factor in the fight for highest honors. The Progressive Farmers look as if they might have good team-until last Satur- day, when, after adding new men to their rooster, they met defeat harder than e. fore To produce a team that will have a standard equal to their pennant fight er of last year they must find better ma terial
 l l The trouble looks to be with the hurling staff This could be made better as there are plenty of good twirlers about the dis trict that would be pleased to do little pitching for soIne popular team.
 LolSey is East Lakes best hitter at the present time. He is clouting the pill at a .6l1 clip. Lokey is some slugging kid, and his hitting is largely accountable for the high position of his team.
 The complete average of his team is 26S Holtom follows Lokey with the average of .47i Manager Wick is setting a good example to his players by hitting at the AT rate. which is some slugging by itself.
 | Mccullough is their leader. He has mere wins than his two fellow hurlers Howton. a recent addition; Garden and Wood, who is out of the game with an in jured diget, are all reliable pitchers, and may be counted on to win some battles.
