DEFEATS HARRINGTON
In Unique and Interesting Contest
on Smyrna Athletic Field Friday
Smyrna High Is Victorious

AChS ina AAiSh Is NAClOTlOuS
In contest that was unique as well
as interesting, Smyrna High School
batted its way to victory over the we'll
rated Harrington team. Harrington
started the game with a batting
streak that was not only disheartening
to the Smyrna supporters, but discon-
certing to the Smyrna team as we'll.
The outlook became no brighter when
Smyrna managed to squeeze only one
run across in their turn at bat. From
the second inning on, Curry pitched an
exceptionally good game and only
three more runs were gathered off his
delivery the remainder of the game.
Smyrna put the game over in the
second inning when every member of
the team, who went to bat hit and be-
fore the inning had ended eight runs
were gathered in. From this time on
the contest became more like a real
ball game, as no runs were scored by
either side until the seventh inning
when Harrington added two more to
its total. Smyrna was only able to
get one in this inning, but had given
! Curry a lead that the outcome was
never in doubt. The most attractive
feature of the game was the fielding
of Patterson and Broadway's home
run which was by far the longest hit
ever made by High School player on
the local diamond. A sensational one
hand catch by Jackson in leftfeld also
thrilled the spectators. The result of
the game was IL to in favor of
Smyrna. Coach Mendenhall has many
candidates out rounding into shape for
! the track team. Every evening they
motor out to Clayton and get in good
practice on the railroad atheletic field.
1t is hoped that the boys will make
a good showing at the Caesar Rodney
meet on May 10Th.

pOrtant city, the contributions Of the
whole of France converge In Paris.
Almost every district has its special
dish perfected by centuries Of expert
ment and for which 1t produces the
very best of materials.
Stuffed macarOni, a favorite dish, Is
said to have been invented by the COM
poser Rossini and tradition has ii that
he used to prepare 1t himself with a
golden syringe. The syringe, large
one with a piston, is filled with
truffled meat and savory seasOnings,
the end of the syringe is inserted in
the dry macaroni tube, and with slow
patient work the filling is forced into
the macarOni until the hollow is filed.
Then the macaroni Is baked In a sauce
and served hot.
Another. equally interesting and COM
plicated and also secure against the
American invasion, is bottled chicken.
The bottle is pyramidal in shape, the
kind used for Burgundy. The spring
chicken is skinned, the skin slipped in
to the bottle with two long sticks like
chopsticks and spread out until 1t
lines the bottom and sides completely.
The fowl is then boned, seasoned
and chopped until il is of a soft putty
like consistency, and in this state Is
poured into the bottle, the bottle
corked and sealed and set into a hot
water bath where 1t is boiled for an
hour or two; then set aside, chilled on
Ice for serving. The waiter who serves
this dainty runs a glass cutter around
the bottom near the base and a sharp
blow knocks out the bottom. Then the
chicken slips out firm and tight In the
skin.
Nancy produces the finest sausages
in the world and at st. Menchould are
prepared truffied pigs feet.
From Normandy comes tripe a la
mode de Caen. The story goes that
one Sidoine Benoit invented this dish,
and for centuries it has been made BY
the Benoits from father to son.
