 Eufaula held the edge in the offen- sive Troy the first half, but the aggregation staged a neat comeback in the latter half showing a much more brilliant offense and a stiffened de- fense.
 Eufaula started the scoring with a safety in the second quarter. The visitors threatened to score during the. remainder of the half but lacked punch to put over a touchdown. In the third quarter McNeil, for Troy broke away for thirty-five yard run around end and touchdown, shaking off two tacklers before falling across the zeal.

 Only two second basemen in the Ma xional League and two in the Amer ican League received first-choice votes ln the poll of the leagues players to obtain All-American League and All National League teams. ,...
 In the younger major league these men were Eddie Collins of the White Sox and Stanley Harris, manager of the Washington Senators. In the older circuit they were Rogers Horsby of St Louis and Frankie Frisch of New York. .,c s,
 Collins won out oyer Harris by a vote of 03 to 23. Hornsby got 75 bal lots to Frisch's 36.
 Hornsby Gets Votes
 Hornsby was chosen unanimously for second baseman by the experts select ing Ail-American teams this fall. The fact that so many National League players would prefer Frisch above the Cardinal star comes as big surprise. ! Frisch's batting average is almost 100, points below that of Hornsby. He does not take rank with Rogers as a cican-up hitter. Therefore such prefer ence as he receives must be based on his superior speed on the bases and his hashy work as fielder of supreme ground-covering capacity.
 Frisch undoubtedly is of All-Amer- ican calibre. But notwithstanding the support given him by fair proportion of his fellow players, he must rank below Hornsby as a second baseman, and the majority of the voters in the National League recognized the fact. It is the Giants misfortune that on

Two big outstanding features, three
other acts of unusual merit and special
screen production mark the unusual
program of entertainment to be offered
patrons of Loew's BijOu this week.
Novelty, variety and general all-around
diversion will be found during the week
by those who like good vaudeville and
enjoy dramatic story well told on the
screen.
Mrs. George Primrose and six of the
famous Primrose minstrels offer the
headliner. "Typifying Genuine Min
strelsy." George Primrose was one of
the greatest opponents of real old-time
MINISTRIES that ever trod the stage and
Mrs. Primrose is carrying on the tradi-
tions of her husband ably assisted by
real blackface artists.
And in the second headliner will be
found entertainment on a par with this
act. Dave Harris, famous as Broad
ways most versatile entertainer, puts
it on under the title of versatility
The title is aptly chosen, because Mr..
Harris and assistant offer songs, comedy
and much music, employing all sorts
of instruments.
The three other acts on the bill are
varied. including Miller and Bradford
in THE Beauty Shop" comedy skit
enlivened songs and dancing; the Dreon
Sisters, 1.-The Love Bandits" in some
comedy talk, lots of love songs and
popular numbers, and Gibson and
Price, Eccentric Manipulators,' who
juggle all sorts of things.

SYNTHETIC FOODS A MYTH
Man Can Never Supplant What Nature
Supplies, Scientist Says.

Predictions often are made that some
day we shall have all our food made in
chemical factories, out of air and water
and carbonic-acid gas; that even farm
ing soon is to be a thing of the past,
and that chemically prepared food will
come to us in tablets that we shall
nibble.
These notions are mere guesses, I'M
sound economically. The farm is not
to be supplanted by the chemical fac
tory, although the farm already is be-
ginning to draft the chemical and bio
logical laboratories for its own pur-
poses.
Even if we chemists could make
tasty and nutritious foods of inanimate
matter, instead of things that have
been through the processes of life, of
things that have grown on the farm
and it's a fact that we don't know how
to do it-there isn't power enough
available to make the food for the
world in factories. We should require
coal or water power or fuel oil, while
the plants and trees use the power of
light direct from the sun for their
growth Every green leaf has us beat
en- in this respect.
Again, our internal organs are so
constructed that if we undertook to
live on tablets without the necessary
roughage or coarseness of food, they
would collapse and the whole world
soon would come down with an interna-
tional bowel complaint. Tets keep our
feet on the ground Men of science
have to do so. But don't be disap-
