If Brooklyn does not recall him
the player becomes subject TO draft
IL he is not drafted his title remains
with the club that holds him. The
POOR guy never gets away from that
nrst contract. 1t hangs like a burr
TO mules tail
Players originally developed by the
ga akland team. however, are not sub
Ject TO the draft. If Oakland picks
lots: which probably will not happen
until 2525, said Babe belongs to Oak
land, unless and until the Oakland
CLUB gets ready to sell him at its own
price. OF course, the rule applies
everywhere that the new conditions
are in effect. The coast was merely
cited as an example.
View of Louisville Club.
In this connection it is interesting
TO note the plain language of one Of
the officials of the Louisville club
after 1t was agreed in Chicago that
a modified draft would be put in
force.
The Louisville club never will
agree. il it remains in base ball far
a century, to any kind of draft b.
which players we develop shall be-
drafted by the majors" he declared
There is no justice in permitting any
lazy major league owner, who Will
not take the trouble to develop play
erS, TO take away from US any player
of skill whom we find by going into
the woods.
THE free draft. which is the orig
inal draft, permitted that sort of thing
The modified draft, as it is called, has
knocked down the value Of our players
as it is. We've got two worth while
to anybody. and we've been sponged
out of $50, 900 because some of the clubs
in our league would rather be annexed
to major league base ball than devel-
opers Of sport. That's the whole thing
in a nutshell
EARNED for Development.
The modified draft, in effect, simply
passes major league player out to a
minor league for development and edu-
cation. The player knows that he does
not belong to the minors, and maybe
he will be serious and develop himself,
and maybe he will not There were
many of the latter cases in the minors
last season, and many OF the minors
that had this trouble can trace two
thirds of IL TO the fact that their
players did not give hoot. You can't
have two or three ownerships in base
ball and get much out Of players who
know the situation.
The modified draft, as now in effect,
simply means summer boarders taken
here"

By HELEN KENDALL PLAYING WITH WATER

The day was very warm and the mother of a young flock sat near window sewing with her house guest who was making stay of some weeks. Suddenly the mother lifted her head. listening.
 "There's that scamp of a baby turning on the water faucets again. She's simply crazy about playlns with water" she exclaimed. She soalxs her little rompers and dresses as fast as I get dry ones on her, and I cannot keep her out of the bath room, where she can reach the tub faucets I don't know what to do with her"
 why not let her play with water?" inquired the guest quietly. T think it is entirely natural that little children should be fascinated with water. Look at them at the sea- shore or the lake, and see how they love to go in wading in country brooks. In such weather as thls your baby couldn't catch cold. IT she were at the beach her little feet would be wet half the time, but the warm sun would protect her.
 q think it is Dorothy Garfield Fisher, in her book on Montessorl' who tells of her discovery about let ting her little girl play with water Instead of scolding her for 1t, she deliberately gave her a big dishpan 1 of water out on the grass and two little tin cups. The child not only had a joyous time, but, by pouring water from one cup to another and back again. gained excellent control of her muscles and trained eye.
 If I were you I would sink a large foot tub out here in the yard and fill it with water every day. Put 1t where the sun will warm it and let the children play in 1t. You live so far from the water that they never have the fun that many chill dren know, and it isn't fair to them They will be rapturous over this miniature lake and you can keep an eve on them and see that they do not stay wet too long. Let them splash and dangle their toes and sail small boats. Even if they fall in 1t can t hurt them. as 1t would be only eight or ten inches deep.

 Then. I guess I will have the Blowgee give me all the ice cream sodas and all the hot weeny sand wiches and all the boxes of cracker jack he has left, because I haven't any ship to live on any more, and l need a home just about the size of the Blowgee's hat"

KEEPING COOL

KEEPING COOL
 Turning from the thought of keep ing warm in winter-wnch yester- days article on the care of the fur mace brought to mind-let's talk to- cay of the more timely need for keeptng cool in summer. For some obscure reason, we housewives aren't apt to give serious attention to warm weather comfort as to cola weather comfort. Yet it is quite as possible to mitigate the long torrid season as to take the sting out of winters chill.
 Of course it is not inexpensive to do this. What a juvenile member of our family calls "coolth" isn't any cheaper than warmth. We expect to pay well for our winter comfort-the furnace itself, coal, and perhaps wood for the fireplace. Why not be willing to buy summer comfort Tn the way of plenty of electric fans. a capable well-filled refrigerator. and vacuum bottles to preserve cold wa ter throughout the hot nights?
 It Is not extravagance but econo- my to keep the ice box completely the longer it keeps, and the better the food keeps also. It is not ex- travagance to indulge in electric fans in living room, dining room and bed rooms. since we all use fewer electric lights in summer, especially
 
 and the current used will probably not exceed that consumed in the winter months, when more lamps are used.
 With plenty of iced drinks during day and night, an artificial breeze anywhere in the house, frequent shower baths. cooling foods, and tranquil thoughts, the hot humid weeks may be lived through very comfortably. At night keep half current fan going gently in one cor ner of the room, place vacuum bottle of cold water on the bedside table, and-on desperately hot nights put bowl of cold water on the shelf beneath the table, with thick washcloth beside it, so that one may occasionally bathe the scorching skin.
 By giving as constant care to our cooling equipment in summer as we do to our heating system in winter we ought to achieve comfort the year round.

HAM MOUSSE

Put cold boiled ham twice through the meat chopper. To two cupfuls of this add pinch dry mustard and a dash of cayenne. Dissolve one tea spoonful gelatine in one cup strong meat stock (the bouillon cubes may be used) and mix this well with the ham. When cold gradually beat in half a cup whipped cream. Press into a mold and when firm it will be ready for slicing. On hot days this is delicious cut into small slices and served as salad on lettuce leaves.
