The National League never can de-

this year unless the seven other
clubs play better ball than they have
been doing. Nor can they defeat the
Giants very handily unless the Giants
are seriously crippled by injury.
There are three months to go and il

they will lose, because there does not

HOW TO TREAT
ASPARAGUS
BY Hannah Wing2

TIE summer vegetable sea-
son opens with asparagus,
II one Of the most delicately
favored Of all vegetables and
one whose flavor is enhanced by
care in cooking and flavoring.
Everyone knows that the tips Of
asparagus are much more deli
cate than the lower stalks, but
not everyone makes allowance
for their delicacy being in the
cooking.
The thing to do after the
asparagus has been carefully
cleaned. the lower scales removed,
the stalks carefully brushed and
all traces of sand and dirt re-
moved, Is to cut off the toughest
portion Of the stalks and tie the
remainder in loose bundles. Stand
the bundles upright In the water
with the tips above the surface
and cook until the stems are ten.

utes' cooking tip the bundles over
so that the tips are submerged
or, better still. cover and let the
tipo cook in the steam. Asparagus
is too delicate vegetable to DO
ruined by overlooking, as 1t
often is. When finished and
drained it should be lender but
still crisp, and not altogether
mushy.
The lower butts of the stalks
should not be discarded utterly,
but should be added to the SOUP
