East Potomac Park course in an
eighteen-hole match that ended
one up for the Houghton-Shorey
team.
All even going into eighteen,
Houghtor and Shorey whaled away
at the pin. with the net result that
Shorey sank neat putt for par
four and the match. Horgan was

ranged. I suppose It would have to
be by elimination in district, ana
then eventually in larger districts
until the two teams came down
to the finish. Maybe Ii would take
too long to work out well, but what
a stunt II would be, and interesting.
Boy, I'd rather watch game
like that than to see world series.
Why watching those kid games
around on the street corners
gives me 3 lot more kick than
any big league game ever saw,
and / figure President johnson
is doing q big thing when ne
encourages the kids BY arrang-
ing these games In the big
league parks.
Just taking one look at the crowd
that attended at the Yankee Sta
dunn, and then the crowd that
turned out In Detroit when the
game was played there, convinces
me that there never will be lack
OF interest In baseball. The big
problem will be to provide dia-
monds for all the kids that want
to get in the game. Detroit, though
takes the cake, There's b town that
looks after its kid players. Why
they've got q kid league there with
more than 500 clubs entered, and
everyone Of them QUILTED and
playing on a regular schedule.
Believe me, lot of towns can take
a lesson from Detroit and from
George Maynes, who handles the
kid organization.
/ was talking to him about il
the other day. Know what he
said. He said, that since that
league was organized and the
kids were interested in baseball
the cases Of crime and nuisance
arrests among the youngsters had
fallen off so per cent.
That's something, believe me.
And when that happens it's proof
that the grown-ups should begin
showing little interest. And may
be when they do that I'll have 4
chance TO see two kid teams play
ing for the championship after all.
And II that game is ever staged you
can bet one thing George Herman
Ruth will be there.

IDLY well trained to deal with these
imr ortant subjects.
In intro 1ucirg Miss Bemis, Mrs.
Frank MaXcy, president of the Par
ent-Teache: Association expressed
her appre ,iation on behalf of the
Association to the Central Maine
Power Company for the loan OF the
electric stove which was used IN the
classes. Miss Eenis announced that
she would give demonstration OF
plain cake making. and this she pro-
Ceeded to do. explaining each step
clearly, SO that there could be no
misunderstanding. thereby spelling
the cake. She stated that in cake
making, the richness of the cake de-
pended upon the grade OF materials
Used, its texture upon the amount
of work put into it. its lightness to
the accurate measurements, and Its
appearance upon the care used IN
baking it. Each ingredient used has
some mission, and therefore they
cannot be changed without proper
thought to the result.
When the cake was placed in the
over, Miss Bemis went on to talk
of the famous Better Homes"
Movement which has become SO
popular throughout the country. She
spoke of the great research work
being carried on and the work
which is done in experimental labor
atories. Many problems have been
solved in these problems. the solu-
tens leading to greater comfort and
safety for the pubic. She declared
that by this movement new interest
lad been stimulated in the home. In
mentioning The actual experimental
work in building homes, she said
that the atmosphere created by the
people themselves must make the
homo. The public is protected by
the tests made in laboratories and
thus this work is invaluable.
In the remaining intervals Miss
Bemis delighted her appreciative
audience by the story of her own
life and work. For eighteen months
she worked in the caEteenS in
France during the World War. and
addcd to this the fact that She is a
graduate of the University of Ore
gcn, had Travelled extensively and is
possessed of an unusually pleasing
personality. Miss Bemis is one. of
the most interesting speakers that
the Association has heard for some
time. The finished product of her
work was cut into pieces and dis
tIibuted to tho audience who vouch-
Cd for the fact that the cake tasted
as good as it looked.
Miss Bemis will complete her
week in Gardiner today when at $50
she will give a demonstration of the
Mdflin Mixture aud its variations at
1C1J, the subject will be "A Variety
of Quick Breads and at 1.20 Meat

invited to these interesting and in j..
structive sessions which are held in
