Three of these were the result of
Bassler outgucssiug Chicago on the
hit-and-run play.
The hit-and-run play is always the
thorn in the catcher's path.
When properly executed this play
is figured to be almost invincible.
1t is the catcher's job to prevent
it..
But in order to block 1t he must
sense that it is coming and cross the
batter.
This is just what Bassler has
shown he is able to cope with.
Cobb watched Bassler work on the
Los Angeles club in the Coast

rare strategist and picked him off.
His throw to the bases is called
the "sling-shot" peg. He throws

His uncanny ability TO out-guess

Good stories don't come out OF
void-they must arise from some
situation. Lincoln had a great tai
ent for extemporaneou5 narratives.
When he couldn't convince an op-
ponent in an argument he would
relate some occurrence or story
that left nothing Of the other per-
sons position.
There is little, humor in the
world now. The war left Europe
saddened. Only political enemies
can find the heart to poke fun at
one another. George AIDE is an ex-
eeption-there are always excep-
tions, you know. Ade is q real
humorist. The spirit of his fun
reminds me of that of Mark Twain.
Prohibition, as l remarked be-
fore, kills humor because a man
who wants a drink and can't get
one doesn't feel very gay. The
man who disapproves OF drink and
doesn't want anyone else to have a
drink is apt to get mad at the
would-be inebriate."

On
The NJ arket

Ripples on the wholesale poul-
try market last week resulted in
a complete break down of the
market in the last two or three
days, and the fixing of price of
Is to II cents a pound for light
hens and Is to 20 cents for heavy.
The retail price has changed
little since last Christmas. In some
markets it is Az cents, in Others
40 to AZ. Calculating the differ
ence between the wholesale and
retail price it costs as much to
dress hen for the market as 1t
does to raise her to marketable
size. There is no excuse apparent
today why chickens should sell at
such a high price to the cohr0 0m-
er.
With the retail price Of eggs
down, now would be good time
to start preserving them. A quart
and a half of sodium silicate, or
Liquid glass;" will preserve IL
dozen eggs when used with wa
ter. Crooks are the best contain
ers and the water used should be
heated. Nine parts of water with
one part sodium silicate is the
proper ratio of the solution. Eggs
put up in this way will keep
year and while not particularly
good eating can be used nicely IN
cooking. Amy drug store can sup
ply the sodium silicate.
Strawberries, two boxes for
quarter, have reached their low
est price, but this quotation is not
general. New potatoes have drop
ped and sell two pounds for 20
cents. The recently arrived Ber-
muda onions are quoted two
pounds for rs cents. Sweet pota-
toes, 10 cents a pound.
