The advance guards of several big
league clubs are already in the spring
training camps working out the kinks
in muscles and hardening themselves
for the 1918 campaign. Within few
days every player, veteran and rookie
will be in uniform.
The situation in the two major leag-
ues this spring is the most complicot-
ed it has ever been. Practically every
team has been hit by the war. A
number of stars have been called into
service and their places must be filled
The winter saw the greatest array of
trades OF any year. In every way the
task of sizing up the prospects of the
Is ,clubs is more difficult than in a
normal year, -'....r
The situation in the two major leig-
League is particularly puzzling. The
two clubs which last year gave the
league leaders the most trouble have
been hardest hit by the war. Boston
has lost many stars and Cleveland
is not much better Off The Cleveland
case is perhaps the most desperate
Of the two as Cleveland has not been
able to benefit by the winter trades
as has Boston.
Two new managers in the league
further complicate the situation, Mill
er Higgins of the Yankees, and Ed

dinner, will require careful
thought and shopping to keep the budget
within the limit of SIG. Turkey could
hardly be included for that sum, and so

6innerl is suggested as very good sub
stitute
Select the first two ribs from prime
cut of beef, and be sure that it is marbled
with tiny streaks of clear white fat.
Properly roasted until crisp and brown,
with plenty of rich meat gravy that fol
lows the knife as it is sliced, it needs
no apology even when taking the place
OF the Christmas bird. A standing roast
presents d better and more imposing ap-
pearaDco than if the bones are removed
and the beef rolled. 1t is also con
tended that meat roasted with the bones
has a better flavor.
The horseradish canapes served for
the first course of the holiday dinner are
somewhat of novelty, and they are not
difficult to make The flavor of horse
radish goes particularly we'll with beef
and there is just enough of the grated
root used to give piquant taste.
The breakfast menu for Christmas
Day is very simple, and the hot creamed
chicken (for luncheon or supper) is
prepared in the chafing dish from canned
boned fowl. A bit of minced green pepper
or pimentos may be added to the sauce
with the chicken and the whole cooked
for five minutes over the hot water pan.
The individual meat pies for Fridays
luncheon are made from the last of the
roast beef, and the bones are added to
the vegetable soup served on Saturday.
