has done in the last three or four sea.
sons.
A common estimate of Cravath Is
that he Is a slow-thinking, siow.mov-
Ing. slow.helding, good.natured chap
who pounds out base hits by sheer
might. II It is the common analysis It
Is the wrong one. Cravath Is prob
ably the headiest ball player on his
team. He Is lasting years after most
players pass into retirement, because
Of brains.
Cravath can divine the intention Of
an opposing pitcher far better than his
younger and more agile pals. He has
a pair Of sharpshOoter eyes and uses
them for seeing purposes. When
Cravath drives out smoking hit you
can rest assured that he knew what
was being served to him and was set
for 1t. There Is no hit-or-miss style
with him.
He knows how to play for batsmen
In right field and plays hits against the
wall at the Philadelphia park better
than any other rlght.fielder with the
Pills or on IN opposing team. Cravath
makes his defensive skill all the more
valuable by his uncanny throwing
Cravath actually is one Of the best
throwing outtielders In America.
Speaker can heave bail faster, but
even Speaker can't throw with the
judgment of Cravath.

What Is the better form In baseball,

opinion. We leave that to the pundits

In their recent series with the Bos-

that Maranville Is the best thrower we
have ever seen. In that we are sup
ported by the Brooklyn papers. Larry
Cheney remarked that Meanwhile

more accuracy than any other athlete

Ing from q sort of side.nrm overland.
That Is not u clear description, but
1t Is not our fault. Maranville's throw
has always been a puzzle, even to play
ers on the field with him. He seems
to push, rather than throw. the ball.
Another peculiarly Is that the play

USES FOR HONEY
CAKES MADE WITH 1T KEEP
NGER-BOlLlNG AND SKIM.
MING EcESSARY.

Various ways in which the house
wife can use honey to advantage are
suggested in a new publication OF he
department-Sa Farmers Bulletin 635,
Honey and its uses in the home" In
this country honey has hitherto not
been in common use as IN Europe,
especially in cookery. It is, however,
a comparatively simple matter to sub
stitute it in many receipts for com.
mon sugar or for molasses, and when
this is done the resulting flavor is
often both novel and agreeable.
One Of the great advantages in the
use of honey is that cakes made with
it will keep much longer than those
made with sugar. A honey cake made
with butter. for instance, will keep its
quality until the butter grows rancid,
and one made without butter will
keep fresh for months. For this rea-
son useful receipts that call for no
butter. Icing made with honey has
the same advantage, and some icing

Honey is marketed in two forms,
known respectively as comb honey
and extracted honey, the former be-
ing used much like jam or marnialade
and the latter either in that way or
for cooking. In the past there has
been some prejudice against extract
cd honey--or honey removed from
the comb--because it was believed
that this was frequently adultcratcd
However prevalent this practice may
have been in the past, recent legisia-

when sold at retail there is now com

of comb and extracted honey hut the

this is that the producer of comb
honey makes a product which is prac.
tically ready to l.a delivered to the
consumer. Moreover, it costs the bee
