STAR ROOKIE
TOREPLACE
M'LEOD
BY JOE HOLMAN

ny JOG kAOANAAN
Prexy Clark Griffith of the
Washington Club, will not part
with his prize rookie-Infielder
Wally Dashiell.
Only recently several minor
league clubs of higher classified
ton put in a bid for the Chatta-
nooga club graduate. Reading,
of the International League, was
foremost among those Interested.
The Old Fox has other ideas,
however. Realizing full we'll that
youthful Jim Mcleod needs an
other term of minor league sea-
Soning, he intends retaining the
Southern Association flash in a
reserve capacity.
Versatile Men
Dashiell, a second baseman by
trade, has shown little aptitude
to hold down any position other
than the keystone. But with such
versatile performers as Ossie
Bluege, Jack Hayes and Buddy
Myer available, it is virtually a
sure thing that every position
will be~amply protected.
Until mid-seasOn of last year
Dashiell's work with Chatta-
nOOga was outstanding. Not
only was he failing at a 1850
clip but his phenomenal field
ing was attracting the wide
spread attention of big league
scouts.
The fleet infielder then ex-
perienced series Of tough
breaks. A spike wound first laid
him low for several weeks. Re
turning to the lineup he had
Just about found himself when a
siege of mumps necessitated an
other lay-off.
Tough Breaks
Gradually, as a result of these
setbacks, Dashiells splendid bat
ting average dwindled while his
fielding also suffered.
'"These breaks couldn't be
prevented" President Griffith
declared today. anyhow, Wally
had shown plenty to establish
him as a major prospect before
meeting with his misfOrtuneS.
"Joe EngeI tells me he's in
the big show to stay. He looks
like our best rookie prospect,
and, if he shapes up to his
earl " season 1880 standard,
Dashiell will be a mighty
handy young man to have
around"
One highly valuable Washing
ton club player who is generally
difficult to line up financially is
big Fred Marberry, ace pitcher.
In letter to big Fred around
January /, Prexy Griffith offered
him the same salary that he col
lected in 1880.
No Answer
Having received no answer as
vet, Griffith has mailed the
player a contract.
A broken bone in his pitch
ing hand last year forced Mar
berry to lay off late in the
campaign. Despite this fact
he won Is games and also ac-
counted for IL consecutive tri-
jumps after midsummer.
It is thought that Marberry,
generally considered the highest
paid man on the Washington
club, will request more pay.

FOOD PROBLEMS
BIZ sALLIE MONROE.
PARTY Refreshments.

A party at this time Of year should
really be Seasonable. That is to say
there should be something Spring
like about the refreshments.
The other day went to o party
where ice cream and little cakes and
coffee were the only refreshments.
There were lots Of guests, and SO there
were necessarily lots of plates Of ice
cream. 1t was vanilla ice cream. And
it had strawberry sauce on 1t. One lus-
and some sauce made Of crushed straw
berries and sirup.
It couldn't have cost q whole lot. But
that one ripe, red strawberry on each
piece of ice cream was really very
pretty and most Springlike-as we'll as
very good to eat. And the strip OF
sugar and straberry juice and crushed
strawberries and water made a delicious
sauce-in conjunction with the one ripe
red strawberry.
At another party, the Springlike air
was given by tiny Spring onions and
little red radiSheS served with the
chicken patties Maybe you didn't like
the onions, but at least, they looked
Spring like.
Cucumber sandwiches would also be
suggestive of Spring. To make them
slice a cucumber very thin and arrange
the slices on buttered whole wheat
bread. Sprinkle with little salt and
pepper and a drop Of onion juice, II
YOU like it. These may be quite small.
and one cucumber will make lots OF
them. They give q fresh, Sprinslike air
to the sandwich plates.
Watercress, too, makes Springtime
sandwiches of great deliciousneSs. 1t is
spread between buttered slices of whole
wheat or white bread, sprinkled with
lemon Juice and salt.

Your Baby and Mine

The observant mother knows only
too well how quickly the food fancies
Of the parents are adopted by their
keen-eyed children. If Daddy doesn't
like rice pudding, neither will young
Donald. If mother, or father, makes
disdainful comments upon the food or
its preparation, the child will critically
scrutinize everything put before him.
To speak well or to say nothing applies
as well to food as to gossip. Such a
policy avoids that chorus Of ST don't
like it, and "It isn't good" which so
harnesses the housekeeper
Here is a father who enjoys raw po-
tatoeS, so his young son is now de-
manding them. The mother. Mrs
o. W., writes: ST surely benefit from

youngster, 81 months old, who eats a
raw potato shortly after his night meal
at least four times a week. The child
does this because his daddy does It,
think that raw starch Is not good
all raw vegetables are good. What Is
your opinion? Do you consider q bar
of plain chocolate candy a day harm
full to the child?"
Raw starch Is less easily digested
than cooked starch and, while we need
some raw foods, whole diet OF them
would be neither appetizing nor easily
digested. I think by this time you
would have seen any Ill effects had
there been any, but see no reason
why the father cannot curb this habit,
especially in the presence of his son,
and influence the boys diet more
wholesomely. Raw potatoes might be
advisable II this were the only raw
food the child or family ever ate, for
1t is true that raw potatoes contain
vitamin G, the anti-scurvy vitamin. 1t
is more than probable, however, that
you have oranges and tomatoes and
lettuce and raw cabbage in the diet.
Give the boy his potato in a form
that will be no tax on his digestion.
One or two pieces of plain candy
eaten following a meal and as part
of the meal are not harmful, but al
lowing the child to regard candy aS an
invariable accompaniment of each day
Is unquestionably bad. Candy should
not be looked upon as a treat, for then
1t assumes exaggerated importance in
the eyes of the child and he is forever
hunting for 1t. Neither should 1t be
used as reward or q bribe for good
behavior.
