Industrial Team Series

An iutereague basketball series between
Industrial teams Is almost certainty. ac-
cording TO President Cadwalader Franklin
Of the local Industrial League. The Cam
den city lndustrials will be the opponents
and the contests will therefore have an in
terCity flavor. The winners of the PEN
nants in either league are as yet undeter-
mined, and there is a strong possibility Of
an extra series being necessary in each or
ganizatiOn to determine the result. II ap-
pears that DObsOu Is due TO annex the hon
ors in the local organization and Peerless
Kid in the Camden League. Both possess
the best players outside Of the Eastern
League. The entire Camden outfit is vir-
tually the strong Vincome squad. and Pike
LoHgstreet, Wilson, Graf and Newman all
formerly played in the Philadelphia Indus
trial League. The local contests Will in
all probability be staged at the Ryan a. e.
and the Camden games in the Third Regi-
ment AmOry.
Tonights contests In the Industrial will
bring together Brill and Barrett and Mid
vale and Hale kilburn. Brill has a
chance 20 tie Dobson for first place If II
wins tonight and can topple the Falls crowd
next week. The Carmakers however. have
been greatly weakened by the loss Of Walter

why is IT," bystander writes thst the
old-tme ball players took so much interest
in the development of their play than the
present fiock?"
In the first place, the oldtimer went into
ba seball more for sport than for money
There were no fancy salaries paid In the old
DAYS and love Of the game was the prevail
ing factor. Men like McGraw Jennings,
Kelly and others gave their entire afternoon
to the game. Today not one ball player
in fifty pays any attention to development
He is content enough to finish game and
then forget about it, The game Is no big
part of his existence, off the field. He makes
no great attempt to improve himself or to
advance. Today 1t is more business than
sport. And a ball player today VIII be out

John McGraw once figured out that only

were making conscientious efforts to de-
velop their play and 10 Improve their
method OF offense and defense. The rest,
he said were merely out there playing q
bali game every day, taking 1t as II came.
McGraw was right. II would be hard to
name more than six or eight men from
either big league willing TO give the bulk OF
their thought and time to the game they
follow. IL can't think OF anything else In the

Here's the Latest

Basketball grated upon the fox trot and
hesitation This is the newest confection in
the dance world originated by Mr. and
Mrs. Hamilton Douglas, Of Seattle, Wash
1t has started an athletic invasion OF the
ballroom which is spreading rapidly. The
bal a la Dance" they call it--a competi-
tive play in which four dancers participate
In open formation and attempt TO score in
baskets at the end OF the hall. The ball is
juggled along, passed back and forth or
bounced upon the floor, all to the accom-
paniment OF the fox trot, one-step or hesta-
tion waltz. with penalties for failure TO
keep step.
"The idea" explained Mrs. Douglas the
nimble-footed exponent. "is to develop a
perfect sense of rhythm In the dancer. 1t
is particularly effective In teaching a be-
glnner TO dance gracefully. for II takes the
dancers mind on his feet by keeping his
attention occupied elsewhere"
So distinctive is this burbaniSing OF sport
and dance that the Douglases have been
enabled TO copyright the game. There's only
one drawback to its strenuous delights. II
doesn't permit a fellow TO whisper sweet
nothings into his lady's pretty ear during
the encounter! Each dances alone.

To give clothes a longer period of ser- vice, and to conserve garments or fabrics
 which may appear to be hopelessly
 stained, is the object of new publica- ton just issued by the United States de- partment of agriculture, Washington.
 Lady Macbeth might have had less trouble with that spot if she could have read this bulletin on "The Removal of Stains from Clothing and Other Tex tiles" Uncle Sam says that if the house. wife knows the cause of a stain, she can find common-sense way to get rid of it by following the directions given in this bulletin. Methods are outlined for the removal of practically any kind of stain, from acids" all the way through the alphabet to "whitewash' They have been tested by the home economies ex- perts of the department
 One of the first requisites in removing stains is to know the kind of fabric which is spotted and, if possible, the nature of the stain. Some stain remov- CTS which will give admirable results on cotton or linen may, if applied to woolen or silk, remove pieces of the fabrics as well as the stain. Likewise, stain re- movers which are entirely satisfactory for cleaning silk or woolen materials can not always be used for removing stains from vegetable flores, such as cotton or linen. Similarly, treatment which will remove some stains immediately will

the lot. It is stated that the receipts for eggs in this country is greater than that Of flour. It used to be an old-time be- lief that allowing eggs to accumulate in the nest encouraged increased laying. The theory was that the hen, finding a lot of eggs in the nest, decided to increase that number. The invention of the trap nest exploded that idea, as the eggs laid in trap nests are gathered az soon as laid. and the nest is always empty yet in those nests is where phenomenal laying took place, and all the established laying strains were made possible by the use of trap nests.
 When the hens are molting and recov- ering from the mott, make sure that there are no drafts getting through the cracks and crevfcesS in the poultry house, particularly near the roof. The molting hens will stand almost any degree of cold if they are well fed and there are no drafts to strike their unprotected bodies. The foregoing recommendation holds good for all poultry, whether in mott or not.
 Laying hens are not easily overfed. The non-layers are the ones that take on fat and suffer the necessary consequencesj liver trouble, apoplexy, breakdown, etc.
 Young chicks that have had roup should not be kept for next years breed- ers though they have been cured. Do away with them nowI Gull out all pull lets that show little vitality and that have failed to grow off with the others.
