Reading Matter Wanted
Cake Without Butter and Eggs

T am sending your readers a cake recipe without butter or eggs I think 1t is fine: Put into a saucepan one cup of brown sugar, or granulated will an- swer, one cup of water, two cups of seeded raisins, one-third cup of lard, one teaspoon of cinnamon, a q,arter teaspoon of nutmeg, half teaspoon of ground cloves and a pinch of salt. Set over the fire and boil together for there minutes. Let it get cool. Then add two teacups of sifted flour with which one teaspoon of soda and two of cream of tartar have been sifted. N. c. H."
 Your recipe Is refreshingly novel, and commends itself, moreover, to frugal housewives, grooming under the rising prices of eggs and butter. I wish our practical housemother would try it and report to headquarters upon it. Once in a while she goes out of her way to say how much pleased she is with recipes sup piled by her sister cooks. It Is inspiriting and kind.

 In a recent letter to Graduate Man ager Thomas J. Flaherty of, Holy Cross, c. c. Cox, graduate manager of Georgetown declared that satisfac- tory arrangeme ents have not as yet been made and it is doubtful if the proposed game will materialize Georgetown would like to play the Mt.

 It was Jimmy McAleer, then man ager of the Browns who. engineered the big jump years ago. that in sense will be repeated in 1916.~ Mc- A1eer induced Wallace Heidrick.l Bur kett, Powell and Sudhof to jump the reserve clauses, which, the National League held, bound them to the St Louis National League team AL though the players were not under contract to the Cardinals. the fact that they jumped to the sAm erican League created great deal of senti- uaent in favor of the Cardinals and against the Brozvns in St Louiss and much of it still remains among the older fans As matter of fact liar per, a pitcher, was the only affected player who jumped the Cardinals who was under contract to the National League team

WARDS AND GWTNNER
 BIDDING FOR CLEVELAND
 AMERICAN LEAGUE CLUB

Pittsburgh, Jan. 5-In conjunction with the Ward interests represented by c. B. Comstock, Edward w. Gwin- ner, president of the local Feds, is ne- gotiating with President Ban John son for the Cleveland franchise in the American League.
 The conditions named by Johnson entail the payment of $2OO,0OO to President Charley Somers and assun- ing a mortgage held by Forest City bankers against the property for $376,OOO. Added to this, the bankers committee that holds the mortgage in sists that Cleveland man must head the team.
 On the latter point Gwinner and the Wards have agreed to elect a Cleveland banker who represents the Wards interests in that city. They are willing to assume the mortgage, but balk on paying $20O,OOO for the franchise. It is known that they have offered to split the difference, but so far no satisfactory agreement has been reached.
 Rebel Oakes, former manager of the Rebels, yesterday, after a conference with President Gwinner, stated that he would be taken care of'' next year.
 That the price asked for the CIeve- land club is $56O,OOO is confirmed by conditions of the sale communicated 70 Robert Mckay, former secretary of he American League, who, with Jake 'Stahl of Chicago, has been mentioned IS a possible purchaser of the club

'FTTCHBURG PROUD OF
 BOTH PAT MORAN AND
 CALLAHAN OF PIRATES
Exporting News )


 Out Cape Cod way folks take their sport more seriously than in some parts of the country. They are pos sessed of all the violent prejudice that once featured a. bout at poker in the Bad Lands. No divided loyalty is in vogue. That's why Fitchburg, Mass, is all wrought up. Fitchburg is the home of Pat Mohan, who pi1oted the Phi11ies to a National League cham pfonship this fall. Moran was the town hero The whole city moved to Boston when Pats team played there. All Fitchburg has been prepared to worship Patrick into another pennant next year.
 Now the blow has fallen Jimmy the Pirates, a club that is very likely to give the Quakers all sorts of trou- bIe in 1916. And Jimmy is another native son of F'itchburg, beloved of all the boys. Most towns would be all sweI1ed on themselves if they hous- ed two. big league rival managers. But it's a tragedy in Fitchburg, for di- vided allegiance is not the Cape Cod way.
 It has taken Callahan just a gem eration to climb aboard the Pittsburgh payroll since Pittsburgh first wanted him. In 1895 both Pittsburgh and Kansas City put in drafts for him, and the Eastern city made a hard fight to retain him, for Jimmy was a very promising pitcher. But the Packers got him and it has been a 20-year trail that Callahan has travelled back to the Smoky City.

AWARD O'CONNOR $5,OOO IN ACTION
 AGAINST BROWNS

St. Louis, Jan. 5-A verdict of a jury in the State Circuit Court in May 1912, which awarded John O'Connor damages of $5,OoO against the St. Louis American League club because O'Connor was discharged as manager while he was under contract for another year, was affirmed by the Court of Appeals yesterday.
 Evidence was brought by the ball club to substantiate the charge that O'Coqnor as manager conspired with his feuow-players in October, 1910, to allow Lajoie of the Cleveland team to get a larger number of hits and thus defeat Cobb of Detroit in a con test for an automobile, but the Court of Appeals held that this evidence failed to convince the trial jury that O'Connor was guilty of the conspiracy.
 The court held also that the con tract with O'Connor was not void be- cause of ambiguity
