Queerest Baseball
 Game Ever Played

One of the queerest games. ever played on the diamond was pulled off in St. Louis thirty-four years ago to- day. Oct. 16, 1881. when the once famous St. Louis Reds defeated a, club composed of eighteen local amateur and semi-pro players. The Reds won by a score of g to 0. It was Jimmy Calvin, the famous twirler of the Reds who pitched the first no-hit game in professional baseball back in '76- The Mound City has always run to cOIOr8 in naming it's ball clubs, and the fam ous Reds were succeeded by the Browns, Maroons and Cardinals.

The Interna tional league has de- signs on Springfield and Hartford for next season. It is said that the pow CTS intend to drop Richmond and before the next campaign because these cities are too far from the rest of the circuit. But it would be a costly deal for the International to put through. The International could not come into this territory without the consent of the Eastern and no consent would be given unless a fat price were paid. In- ternational magnates had to pay be- fore they could invade Richmond and now they are ready to leave the Vir- ginia city flat. An attempt was made to take Syracuse last season but the New York state league refused to give up the city.
 College footbs1I games may furnish some surprises today. The hardest struggIe of the day is likely to be in Cambridge where the Harvard eleven faces the Virginia team, which beat Yale two weeks ago. Yale meets a strong team in the Springfield Train ing school eleven but it is not be- lieved the visitors are as good as the Lehigh boys were last Saturday. Princeton is likely to find Lafayette a hard proposition. Before the season started it was thought that the Navy Penn game would be corker but these teams have played so poorly that the usual amount of interest in -today's outcome is lacking.

WILL LEWIS SLIP BACK AFTER BEING
 HERO OF SERIES?

Unless the dope falls in a pinch his- tory has it that Duffy Lewis, the real hero of the big worlds series, and the one man who was responsible for the Sox triumph, is booked for slide out of the 1i1ne1ight Tn former years the heroes of the big series never showed much stuff after getting in the lime light with their war clubs Just why this happens or how it comes about is a riddle. However, such has been the case year in< and year out.
 By this it is not meant that Lewis is on the toboggan as 8 player. Far be it from such. He stands today as one of the greatest outfelders in the game. He also is and always has been c1assed as one of the games greatest pinch hitters. No hero has shouldered the honors as well as Lewis. He prac- tfcaIIy won the last three games for the Sox by his timely swatting, Of course Harry HooDer's two home runs are to be reck0ned with, especially his last smash that scored t1re winning run However that terrific drive with one man on in the eighth made by Lewis was inserted while the Sex were two runs behind and in reality wen the ball game It took the heart out Of Rixey and was the turhing point of the battle.
 In all former big series enc man has always shone brilliantly by his heavy 191LG6lt1& ing. One can refer back to the series where Bill Dinsen. now an umpire and then af pitcher with the old B6sten AneFzeaHs. twfF1ed tha Sox tS 8 vic , tory single handed, The following year he failed t0 shSw any of his old stuff Christy Ma4aewson pitched three victories. all Slaz146z1ts against the Ath- Iet4cs and won a series for the Giants one year, yet on two trials after that the great 1Gatty never got one game in the win column
 Hugh Bed1ent jumped into fame by his swonderfUI work against the Giants one year. and the next season tuirIed ordinary ball and later was allowed to go on his way Babe Adams starred in the box for the Pirates one year and the following season hit the to- began
 The late Harry steinfe1dE who for naer1y played third for the Cubs, was q tower of strength in one series and later on was pushed into the discard. George Rohe, the old White Sox third @acker, won series for the Comisk ey clan by his heavy hitting, and the fol- lowing season was shipped to the Southern League because of his weak hitting
 Hank Gcwdy reached the highest goal of the series last year between the Braves and Athletics and vet Hank was listed with the ordinary per formers with the willow last year with an average of only -243. Baker the Athletics third sacker, was the man of the hour in one big series, and did fairly well in another, yet last year against the Braves he had to give up his place to Gowdy- With all these incidents in mind does it not seem that Lewis is marked or is the eane,s greatest left fielder going to break through history and furnish us with something new in baseball?

 Owner Lannin of the Red Sox planes the PhilIieS for the failure of the two worlds series teams to make the trip to the Pacific coast. Efforts were made by the Phillies yesterday to get the Sox to reconsider but Lannin said it was too late most of his players had left for their homes. Plans for the jaunt had been completed when the Phillies declared they must attend the banquet in the Quaker city to- night This led the Boston manage ment to believe the trip was off as the original schedule called for a game in Chicago tomorrow.
 Manager Bill Donovan of the New York Americans says he has several trades and purchases in mind which will strengthen the Yankees before the next season opens. The Yankees badly need a hard hitting outfielder and one more inf1elder who can clout- heavily. There is big demand for tickets for the Army-Navy football game to be played at the Polo grounds, New York, November 27. The army allotment has already been applied for.

.TANLAC AGENCY COMES
TO LEXINGTON
Exclusive Sale for Celebrated
Remedy Awarded to Cren-
shaw & Young Drug
Store.

Tanlac, the celebrated medi-
cine that is accomplishing such
astonishing results in the larger
cities, will be distributed in
Lexington exclusively by the
Crenshaw & Young Drug Store.
The fame of Tanlac is reaching
out all over Kansas, people are
daily expressing their apprecia-
ton for the great benefits they
have received from the master
medicine. One of the latest to
testify is D. T. Mosberry, a high
ly respected farmer, who resides
on R. F. D. No. 5, Wichita, Kan
sas. The following is what he
had to say:
81 have had catarrh of the
throat for a long time, phlegm
would accumulate in my throat
so badly that it caused me to feel
like l had something growing
there. This trouble bothered me
all the time, but gave me great
er trouble at night. My sleep
was very poor and my condition
in general gave me much cause
to be uneasy about myself.
81 heard about Tanlac, and de-
cided to give it a trial. l have
about finished taking my third
bottle, and am delighted with the
relief that Tanlac gave me. My
catarrh has not entirely left
me, but l feel that it is much re-
lieved. l sleep good at night,
and l am sure that if l take a few
more bottles l will be entirely
relieved"
Catarrhal affections of the
head, nose, throat and stomach
finally produce a stuffed-up con-
dition of the vital organs, and
nine times out of ten this trouble
is responsible for most of the i'll
health Of we present day Ameri-
cans. Our faulty methods of
living are back of this all, but it
is never too late to correct our
faults.

That every boy and girl in Mis-
souri, may have an equal chance
to attend a good school, and that
each school may be as good as
the best now, is the end that
representatives of the School of
Education Of the University of
Missouri have in view in a study
of school conditions they are
making. That a reorganization
of the school system is necessa-
ry is seen by the Investigators.
Abner Jones, Peabody fellow
in education at the University
of Missouri, and Prof. ]. D. Ell
if, Inspector of accredited
schools for the University of
Missouri, approve of a plan pre-
scented to the State Teachers
Association during its recent
session at Kansas City for Civ
ng International publicity to
the conditions of the schools of
the state. This would have as its
object the Standardization of all
Missouri's public schools. It in
wolves improved facilities, reor-
ganization and aid for weaker
schools, and minimum salary for
teachers.
Educational surveys complet-
ed in two counties and in pro
gress in others furnish part of
the material for the project. A
report Of a survey of the educa-
tional conditions in Reynolds
County will be published in a
few months by the University.
Not only the standardization
of the public schools is consider
ed by the advocates Of the inn
proved system, but also a divis-
ion of work with the state school
inspectors which will allow the
University to aid in standardiz-
ing private schools and junior
colleges. Professor ElliF prob
ably will give more time than
usual this year to the inspection
of the schools giving higher
courses than the regular high
schools.

M. U. BULLETIN TELLS
OF ELECTRIC COOKING
Publication of University of Mis-
souri, Emphasizes COnven-
fence of Preparing Food
in Electric Oven.
in Electric Oven.

That the housewife can pre-
pare her evening meal for the
following day, place it in an cleo
trio oven, go for an overnight
and all days visit and find it just
ready to serve when she returns
home at 6 o'clock the next even
ing is the possibility intimated
by the Engineering Experiment
Station of the University of Mis-
souri, at Columbia in a recent
bulletin, "The Economics of
Electric Cooking"
The electric cooker will work
without attention and a special
apparatus will provide for
switching off the current auto
matically at the time it is de-
sired. The art of cooking viii
become a science with the full
use of the electric oven, the bull
letin says. Cook books will not
say, cook until DONE" or "leave
in a moderate oven," or accord
ing to Judgment" but will state
how long and at what tempera-
ture it is to be cooked, while the
electric cooker may be depended
upon to cook it in that way
without attention.
The present lack of definite
rules for cooking is due to lack
of control over temperatures,
the M. U. Investigator says. The
electric oven will give full con-
troll over the heat. With little
trouble, high temperatures may
be changed after bread is baked
to a low temperature for cook
ing meats and vegetables. Pre-
heating losses also would be re-
duced to a minimum.
The cost of cooking by cleo
tricity in many places in Mis-
souri, is a little greater than the
cost of cooking by gas. Wood or
coal heating is usually more
w~asteful than either gas or cleo
tricity. The greater convenience
of the electric oven, says the
booklet, ought to more than
compensate for the slight adj
dition to expense.
The bulletin points out that the
defect of all ovens now on the
market Is improper insulation.
Most of them are built to please
the eye rather than to properly
control the heat. The best cleo
trio oven is the small one, prop
erly insulated and giving full
control over temperature regu-
lations.
Housewives or electric lighting
companies interested in electric
ovens may have the bulletin sent
them by addressing the Engi-
neering Experiment Station,
University of Missouri, Column
bia, Missouri.
