to I. A peculiar coincidence OF the VIC
tory was that the chleSs, after HAVING
been a doormat for every team In the
league TO wipe It's Tsst on, vent out
and trimmed the em.uent Mr.. Crews,
VINO carved for himself a niche In the
I hall Of baseball fame recently
by pitching a no-hlt game.
The Tribe presented a wild looking
lineup, with only four regulars In the
batting order. But the irrepulars
seemed to perform better than the reg.
ulars, and the change apparently did
the club good. Carroll, Slattery, Manda
and Lewis were missing, put they were
not missed and the Tribe went On and
won the game.
II might not be a bad idea for Man
aser cy 6arger to keep TIE lineup that
won yesterdays game in action for
several more days, and thereby keep
a winning combination u~nbroken, The
experiment Is well worth trying, for
II couldn't injure the team, as IL
couldn't play any worse baseball than
has exhibited on the present road

Miss Stirling has put 20 yards or more

1t this way:

the shot and changed my clubs rather
radically, | seem 10 be able to hit

She undoubtedly does. II Is wonder
iul how any m can hit the ball as

Moore is to leave for London early in

and is confident that he will be able
to earn the decision over the Baltimore
boy. Chavez is a good tough battler,
a rugged, hard hitter, and Pals path

Dillon and Harrison will go on follow

Decisions will be given in each bout
by Referee Billy Hack.
For the first time in Memphis boxing
history Jack Dillon is not the favorite

choice among those who are wagering
their money on the outcome of the bout,
and the Chicago boy Is expected to come

Harrison's manager, is laying a goodly
amount Of kale on his p%rotege's chances.
Dillon also has friends and there will
be plenty of Dillon hackers at the ring
side. Jack has been in hard training
and says he Is going to spring a sur
prise on the wise ones who have been
saying that he was all through when
he goes up against Harrison tonight.
Dillon believes that he is as good as

1t was because of the limited food
supply, no doubt, that the early
Hawaiians learned to use for food
almost every living thing, both plant

Almost every kind of seaweed that
could possibly be eaten was used for
food by some Hawaiians, while GER
tain of the more attractive algae
were universally used wherever and
whenever it was possible to secure
them from the sea. The hungry
Hawaiian gathered seaweeds, large
and small, and also the fine green
algae of the fresh water to satisfy
his desire for vegetable food. The

green vegetables, such as onions, let

as the fruits which now 60 to make
up a well-balanced diet.
There are over 70 distinct species
Of algae or limu used for food by the
Hawaiians. Of these about 40 are
in general use. Most of the imu

children, except that which grows in
the deeper or rougher water, far out
