SHORT ON NERVE
Cheney Was No Match for Alex

Another Defeat VIII Put D0dg-
ers in Second Place.

New York, Sept. 29.-Only one point
behind the Brooklyn Dodgers and with
the advantage of the Jump" game of
the all-important series tucked away,
the Phillies stand poised today to drive
their way into first place in the Ma
tional league. The Dodgers cracked
badly thru their collision with the
fast travelling Phillies Thursday but
were prepared to fight desperately for
the struggle today which will spell
whether they retain their lead or skid
into second place
Twenty thousand fans. yelled. cheer

the Dodgers machine showed fighting
form, then began to hit the bumps and
finally cracked open Thursday.
Today's Game.
They are looking to Vanguard,

the lost ground. On today's game may
hang the result of the pennant race
The Phillies are likely TO present Eppa

when Rixey is right he is hard to beat
Nerve was the biggest factor in pull
ing the Dodgers off their lofty perch.
Larry Cheney, who has turned in vic
tory after victory of late. who has
pushed his way past thru other tense
situations, faltered in the second and
gave way in the third.
Two hits, an error and a sacrifice
fly in the second inning apparently
unnerved him and with one man out
in the third he lost everything. One
man hit safely and Cheney walked
two and uncorked a wild pitch before
Jack Coombs was called into the
breach. Meanwhile. Grover Cleveland

Good Weather Today.
Good weather was again on tap for
today's game. After an extended cold
snap, the sun is beginning to get back

Chicago if the latter should take al

New York, Sept. 29.-On board th.
good ship Byron, of the Lamport &
Holt line, which is in port here to-
day, were almost a dozen pugilists Of
various sizes, weights ant colors. The
names of the opponents of the manly
art were not on the first-class pas
senger list, as, according to one of
their number, they had returned from
South America dead broke"
Early in June about twenty boxers
and their managers were invited to
the Argentine Republic to take part
N an International tournament from
which the boxers were to reap a gold
en- harvest. On arriving at Buenos
Aires they were informed by govern

would be allowed, but boxing exhl-
sbitionS could be held across the river.
The trip was a failure from begin
ming to end Not all of the men have
come back. Sam McVey, Bob Dever

Kennedy Reveals Tactics Icha.
bOds VIII Use This Season.
Probable Lineup for Free Cur
tain Raiser Announced.


The Ichabod varsity and yearHngS
have had their last scrimmage before
the big free curtain raiser tomorrow
afternoon, and the schedule for this
afternoon called for light practice con
sistfng chiefly of signal running and
perfecting of team work.
Thursday afternoon the two squads
practiced in different localities. the
freshmen being sent to a hay field on
the rear end of the campus, while the
varsity used the regular field, and re-
ports are being received in both camps
to the effect that big surprises are
being prepared.
Captain Willis, the leader of the
colts. says he believes his men will
be able to show up the regulars. and
he is certainly working hard to get
them in shape for a real battle. The
latest report is that freshman prac-
tice will be held Saturday morning. SO
eager are the young lads to make a
showing.
Dummy Practice.
After devoting the greater part of
Thursday nights practice period to
the freshmen Coach Kennedy took
over Captain Stewards cohorts and
ran them thru dummy scrimmage
with the scrubs opposing the varsity.
Many surprises were sprung during
the afternoon and the spectators who
were brave enough 10 expose lne1r Is.
V. DIS to the whip of a frosty breeze
were rewarded by being given an ink
ling of the tactics that are to be used,
during the early games of the season
at least.
Some of the spectators were a bit
surprised when instructions were given
never to wait for the fourth down to
kick, and the surprise reached even d
greater height when the coach was
heard to say that it would be all right
with him if the kick was resorted to
on the first down.

After the practice, however, DIR.
Kennedy explained by saying that he
intended to play a kicking game to d
great extent. 7 am a strong believer

ieve in keeping the ball in the other
fellows territory as much as possible.
You can't have possession of the ball
all the time, and very often it is a bad
idea to have it in your own territory"
Another surprise of the afternoon
was sprung when McCosh was sent in
at quarter and given trial at running
the team. Mac" made a very credit
able showing. and there is a possibility
that he will be used in this position as
much as at half before the season is
over.
A Chance for All.
However. Sargent will be the quarter
tomorrow and there will likely be
plenty of work for him in the engi-
neer's cab even if McCosh is used

be absolutely free to the public, and
the announcement that every man who
is out in a suit will participate before

Quantity as well as kind Of food is impor-
tant and must be adapted to the needs OF the
individual child. Under-nutrition and over
nutrition are both unfavorsble to health. I'M
der-nourished children are under weight and
subject to disease
Children's meals do not come at the same
time as those Of the family, but must be given
on the minute, Just as much as for the infant
in arms. 1t should be an absolute rule that
child is given nothing from the family table,
even if he must be brought to it. His reach
ing for food is no more significant than his
reaching for the moon. This rule applies even
to water, which should usually be boiled for
the young child.
No other kinds of food than those mentioned
are needed for some time, but by the beginning
of the third year the range may be further
extended by simple combinations Of the foods
mentioned: e. g., soups made with milk and
vegetable juice or pulp, simple desserts once
day made of eggs and milk or eggs, milk and
some cereal or starchy food, bread pudding
cofnstarch, blanc mango, tapioca cream, etc.
Gelatine may be used to thicken boiled Gus
tard or mild fruit juice and water mixture.
Simplicity should be the watchword; tho
danger is of too many kinds of food, rather
than too few. Every new food is an expert
ment and must be tried in small amounts at
first. One must watch to see whether 1t agrees
with the child Foods which, after patient
trial, prove exceedingly distasteful may be
postponed for while, if not very essential to
the child's immediate welfare, or may be in
cluded in his menu only occasionally.
As his tastes change the aversion may dis
appear. Most food aversions are acquired in
childhood and adolescence; comparatively few
in adult life. We must be careful not to give
any good food bad reputation. This is often
done by adults. Children are quick to initiate,
and if mother turns up her nose at food
daughter is likely to do the same. So one
should always speak pleasantly about what the
child is to eat, sometimes even eating it with
him to show how good it is.
WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT EAT
AS children become more and more interest
ed In play they need to be safeguarded against
eating when over-fatgued or excited. Some
times they are too interested to eat, and need

But IL is not only the housekeeper who must
