@ Pounded Meat.

Pounded meat before cooking is an
old-fashioned method of making 1T
tender. but while it has the advan-
tage of breaking down the tough tis-
sues 1t has the disadvantage Of being
likely to drive out the juices and with
them the flavor. A very good way Of
escaping this difficulty is pounding
-four into the meat; this catches and
retains the juices.

JOINT MEETING OF MAJOR LEAGUES IS
 FORMALLY PUT OFF


 No Joint meeting of the National and American leagues will be held in Chicago on December 13. President Tener of the National League formal 1y called off the joint meeting yester- day, when he informed August Herr mann, chairman of the National Com mission, that 1t would be impossible for the National League club owners to be in Chicago next Thursday. Hermann, after a conference with President Johnson earlier in the week, called a joint meeting in Chicago on that day, probably believing that he was exercising: his prerogative as chairman of the commission.
 In a telegram to Hermann in Gin cfnnati Tener informed the Redland magnate that the National league club owners could not be in Chicago on the date named Tener added, how ever, that the idea of such meeting was favorable to National league men, and suggested that it be held in the first week of next January.
 The annual meeting of the National Commission will be held in Chicago on January ', and joint meeting may be arranged at that time.

wE1Ls-RoDmn CONTEST.

On Dec. 6. 1912, just five years ago today, Bombardier Wells knocked out George Rodel in the second round of a bout staged in London. Rodel is 8 Boer and fought the British in South Africa before he began fighting in the ring. at the time he insisted that he got a raw deal in the bout with the Bombardier. In the long dispute which followed the scrap Rodel claim ed that he was waiting for the count of eight to get up when the time keeper rang the bell and spoiled his rest.
 Rodel began fighting in the ring about eight years ago, and whipped all the best amateurs in South Afri- ca. He then went to England and made a very good showing, defeating several heavyweights.
 Later he went to Paris and met Sam Mcvey. and Sam put the South African to sleep. He made an excellent impression on the Ameri- cans when he appeared on this side of fhs Atlantic. He fought GernhoaA

NEW YORK,s SIX DAY
 / BICYCLE GRIND.

Baseball. football, boxing and oth- CT sports have plenty of enthusiastic followers, but for dyed-in-the-wool. oloWn-1n-tne-b bottle, leather -lunged, tr1ple-expansion, six-cylinder, double barreled "bug' the six-day bicycle fan is the nethermost verge of the extreme brink of the limit. He hangs on to sanity by a hair, and doubtless any alienist would say that that hair was imaginary. A base ball game or football contest or box ing bout are each 8 matter of nain- utes.
 The bona fide bicycle bug, however, sits on a hard bench twice around the clock, glaring with glassy eyes at the riders as they circle the saucer, and now and then en1tts wild shrielxs as his favorite makes q spurt. The six day bike fan is entitled to the medal for endurance-or 8 padded cell, ao- cording to the point of view. The six-day bug is prevalent in most of the large cities of the United States Canada, Europe and Australia, but he is most prevalent in New York, where the annual grind, the American
 
 classic of six-day bicycling, starts al midnight on Sunday. Many of the old-timers will be missing this year the war having taken several of them for more serious pursuits, or else led them to their death.
 Many of the veterans have been cir cling the saucer track for 8 decade or more, and the strenuous game has apparently had none of the terrible physical and mental effects predicted by the doctors when the six-day grind first became popular. Most of the regulars make an annual trip aroun1 the circuit in America, and they did ir Europe before the war, and are ready to begin another grind after resting week.

THE GATLLNG GUN

The patent for the machine of de- structton Ance called the Gatrng gun was granted to Richard Jordan Gatling by the United States patent office fifty-six years ago today, Dec. 5, 1861. Gatling. . native of North Carolina, had several other inventions to his credit when, in that year, at the age of forty-three, he conceived the idea of a revolving battery gun. He constructed six of the machines at Cincinnati, but they were destroyed by fire which burned the factory. Af- terward he made twelve more, which were used with good effect by Gen. Butler on the James River. In 1865 he improved his invention, and in the following year it was adopted into the United States service, although re- jected at the same time by the Brit ish government. ..Aflsr several years spent in further perfecting his for midable weapon, Gatling had the sat isfaction of seeing 1t adopted by near ly all the armies of the world. Since Gatiing's death in 1903 other inven- tors have further improved his ma chine, and it's death dealing capacities have been fully proved in this as in all wars within the past twenty years. The machine gun which Is now being ueed by the United States and by the British forces in France Is the Lewis gun. This is vast improvement oyer the Gatling gun, being easily handled
 by one man. The latter weapon is also the invention of an American, al: army officer. The United States government, however, was not the first to recognize the value of this weapon. despite the fact that it was first submitted to the army authori- ties at Washington. The British army leaders at once recognized the Lewis. gun as the most practical of its kind and adopted 1t for the British army.
