CUP-PLATESA ARE

Who Cooled Their Tea
in Saucers.

Tea.drinking with our ancestors
was accomplished in a different
way from the present custom. Then
the tea cup occupied much the
position that the tea-bowl still holds
with the Chinese, and the saucer
that OF the Chinese cup. In other
words our ancestors used the saucers
of their teacups to cool their tea
in, and while so used, tiny plates
Were employed as holders for the
cups, thus to protect the POLISHED
top Of the tea table.
1t is surprising how rarc the cup
plates of the eighteenth end the
early nineteenth century have be-
come, considering their universal
use during that period when they
were regarded as necessary and
fashionable accessories to the tea
set.

NEWARK, N. j.. March TO-
After seven days of futile meowing
from a ledge in a sewer on the
side of a South Orange mountain,
a kitten with stone tide about

Efforts Of the police department
to rescue the kitten were discon-

the sewer would have to be torn
down to reach it, Today, however,
William Blanchard. with a force Of
laborers on his estate, lowered a
basket into which the kitten tum-
bled and was rescued, half starved,

Eddie Collins makes more hits

former manager of the White SoN
made that remark TO me one day last

the greatest batsmen in the history
of the game despite the fact that his

Speaker, Ruth, Hornsby and the rest
of the stars. Collins works the pitcher
TO the limit. | don't believe | am

Lew Tender GETS
ARTISTIC LACING
Goldman, an Unknown, Gives
Champ Contender Bad Beating

Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. dropped
in the second and fifth rounds for the

lost the decision in a lO-round bout

Tender showed signs of grogginess.
Verdict Unanimous.
After tho first round, which went
10 Tender. there was no question as
TO the superiority of the men, and the
verdict Of the judges and referee was
unanimous.
Although Goldman, who sprang in
10 prominence last summer by defeat
ing Pinky Mitchell in an eight-round
bout here, put up great battle, eN-
perts at the ringslde agreed that
Tender lacked his former punch and
stamina, Some even went so far as
10 say that the southpaw, once con-
sidered "A leading contender for the
lightweight crown worn by Benny
Leonard, had seen his best days as "A
boxer. II was said. however, that his
best hand. the left. was in bad shape
owing TO repeated injuries. Tho
knuckles on this hand were broken
some time ago and II was said the in
jury had never properly healed.

many experts to express the opinion
that he would prove a dangerous con-
tender in the lightweight division.
