In the first four innings yesterday
the Nationals got about as many hits
as they have made in number of
games they have won this year. Nine

they produced only two runs.
That huge canvas infield cover
again paid for itself. 1t was spread
over the diamond when rain began

dry infield for the contest. The down

II would be possible for any team

have 10 play just as bad base ball

But If the Giants lose out in Pitts

games out of four to Cincinnati has

SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPERS

THE evening meal on Sunday is
l. usually a light one. To the old
fashioned folk, there is no dish that
they like better than mush and milk.
For those who enjoy the chatting
dish or who are fortunate to have men
in the family who like to dabble in
meal getting, Sunday night is a good
time for their activities. Omelets,
rarebits, with sandwiches and coffee,
toast with various additions, are all
good. oysters stewed, fried or escal-
loped, are not beyond the ability Of
tyro in cookery.
A good piece of toast may be the
basis for any number of good things.
Creamed eggs, fish, oysters or creamed
vegetables of some kind, as vegetable
oysters. An easy way to prepare fried
| oysters is to dip them in milk, then in
rolled cracker tSumbs and fry them
until plump, in butter. Serve with
relish of some kind, even the ordinary
cabbage finely shredded and dressed
with vinegar and salt, is most pala-
table. If one wishes to be quite ele-
CANT, serve the relish in halves of
lemon, one for each plate.
An onion. sandwich is very popular
for night lunch. Cut the mild onion
into very thin slices, dip in good
highly seasoned French dressing and
use between slices of thin buttered
bread. With a glass of hot milk, or a
cup of cocoa, the appetite is satisfied.
onions are especially recommended
to ward off disease, and in keeping
the body in good health.
A simple salad that even a child
may be taught to serve is lettuce with
peanuts and q mayonnaise dressing
Use head lettuce. sprinkle with
chopped nuts, a very little minced
onion and a generous portion of may
onnaise. This With bread and butter
and a hot drink, is another good meal
Cottage cheese with minced pepper,
chives and a bit of salad dressing is
nourishing dish.
Cold meats, fish and fowl are always
popular to serve for supper dish.
Any may be used as sandwich filing
which are in too small pieces to serve
as cold meat.
