Winston's Water Lions and Diving
Nymphs,. which upon their appear
ance in this city created such a Juror,
continue to attract at Polls theatre
today. There is a reason, for in his
wonderful act the full art of the
trainer is displayed. Beyond the
great difficulty of habituating fish to
swim in water with human beings.
this big troupe of seals has been made
to overcome even their natural
habits: Capt. winston says that once
a fish learns to swim it has learned
that method and the most difficult of
all things is to teach it another. He
has, however. made seal swim upon
its back. This most difficult feat is
accomplished at every performances.
Both young women appearing in the
act are champions in the art of
swimming and high diving as well as
adept animal trainers themselves.
Irving Cummings, who appears on

Slowed Apples.

To stew apples so each quarter is un-
broken and SO clear one can almost see
through it is an art, and yet it is SIM
pie thing to do if one only knows how.
Peel tart apples very thin, cut them in
quarters and remove the cores and
seeds. AS fast as you can peel and
quarter them drop the apples in g
saucepan in which you haye already
placed cold water to the depth of two
inches. When the apples are all in put
the saucepan over slow fire, cover it
till the water reaches the boiling point,
then remove the cover and let the ap-
pies simmer almost imperceptibly till
you can pierce them easily with a
toothpick; then sprinkle the sugar
over them and let them just simmer
until it is all melted. Remove the
saucepan from the fire and let it stand
where the apples will get cold before
turning them into dish for the table.

Emperor and Car.


The Gar Ferdinand of Bulgaria, not
withstanding his numerous visits to
Vienna, never succeeded in making
himself welcome to the Austrian aris-
tocracy. For long time the aged en-
peror refused to receive him. After
much useless schening to get. the ear
Of Francis Joseph he was advised to
obtain the aid of Mime. Schratt, who
held at Schoenbrun an influential po-
sition.
Ferdinand sent to this favorite a
jewel box with a note: Il desire to
offer to you the earrings that my moth
er wore until her death. Deign to ac-
cept them and intercede in my favor
with the emperor
Nine. Schratt used her kindly Of

receive the king of the Bulgars. Fer

with papers that he wished to show to

Bumps on the Head.

The lump raised by a blow on the
head is due. to the resistance offered
by the hard skull and it's close connec-
ton with the movable elastic scalp by
many circumscribed bands of connec-
tive tissue. The result of a blow when
the scalp is not cut is the bruising and
laceration of many of the small blood
vessels or capillaries. Blood or its
fluid constituent, serum, is poured into
the meshes of the surrounding con-
nective tissue, which is delicate,
spongy, distensible and cellular, and
the well known bump or lump is quick
.ly formed. This cannot push inward
at all and naturally takes the line of
least resistance. Similar bumps may
be formed on the shin ins exactly the
same way, for the shin bone also is
covered only by skin and simultaneous
connective tissue.

CHAMPIONS RALLY
 AND DEFEAT CUBS
Robins Overcome Four Run Lead
 and Win in Final Inning

Chicago. June 2.-The Dodgers opened their nrst Western trip with a
 to victory over the Cubs here
 yesterday afternoon. The champions
 showed all that the name implies in
 coming through with ninth inning
 rally for two runs and the game.
 It was not the most scientific battle
 Chicago has seen this year, but for
 real excitement few contests have
 been better. It was rather a sad
 battle for the home team and it's sup-
 porters. Until the very last inning
 thsre was every indication that the
 rooteFs for the Cubs would be sent
 home happy. Even after Brooklyn had fought courageously. against a se- we're handicap out into the lead Chi-
 caeo In turn came back with wal
 lop in its half of the ninth and was cheated of victory only because of al- most superhuman defensive play. Not once but twice Brooklyn fielders came to the rescue of Jack Coombs and blocked the tying run.
 Before the day was done the con- test took on the aspect of a parade. No less than twenty-six players took an active part, fifteen for Brooklyn and eleven for the locals. Uncle Robbie was forced to use four pitch ers; three twirlers got into action for Chicago, one, however, as a pinch hitter. Vaughn, the big Cub south paw, was handed four runs advantage In the very first inning, but finally had to be taken out with one gone in the ninth after the winning run had been put over. Casey Stengel made the redeeming single off Phil Douglas. The score:
 r. h. e. Brooklyn ...... 001O02002-5 1 Chicago ....... 400000000-4 3 Batteries: Marquard. Dell, Cheney, Coombs and Meyers; Vaughn, Douglas and Wilson. ..

DE FATE GOES TO TIGERS.
National Commission Awards Player with Cards to Detroit.

Cincinnati, Juno 2.-De Fate, an in. fielder of the St. Louis National league club, was yesterday ordered to report to the Detroit Americans by the National Baseball Commission.
 The Cardinals obtained first draft on Dc Fate at the draft meeting last fall and exercised it. Detroit had second choice.
 President Navin appealed to the National Commission recently, stating that the St. Louis Nationals had drafted De Fate with the understand ing that he would be turned over to the St. Louis Americans. This was denied by ex-Presidont Britton of the St. Louis Nationals. but according to the commission an agreement dled during the injunction proceedings by the St. Louis Americans against Branch Hickey and tho St. Louis Ma tionals showed that Rickey was to do his best to turn over Do Fate tQ the St. Louis Americans at the earliest possible moment.
 In It's decision yesterday the Ma tional Commission said:
 "Club owners and ofncials arc noti- fled that the commission will exert it. self to safeguard the draft from scheming and collukion, and will, where it is established that the selec- ton of a player by major club is not bona flde, impose a severe fine on the guilty club or clubs, and if the offense be fragrant debar the offenders from exercising the privilege Of seleo- ton for one or more seasons"
