DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 8.-Jack
Dempsey'S transforming tour, look

The house drew $780, the largest
in recent years. Dempsey and
Charlie Retzlaff, Duluth heavy

anxious to hurt the other.

change is expected to be reached
during the major powwowS in Chi

bit in the sphere used by the senior

rabbit and the new sphere that was

ball, but orders have heen given to
the manufacturers to copy the con-
Struction of the National horsehide.
SluggerS will continue to bang out home
runs. but the total is sure to drop even
in the parks with short fences. The
circuit drives became cheap during the
lively ball era, little fellows often wal

the promotion as player-pilot of
Moline in the Mississippi Valley

class, old-fashioned black cook with a
feather-light hand at all forms OF

bluebarries-or huckleberries will do.
Blueberries, when bought in the mar

the blueberries should be rushed from

fins, hot and moist, should be sped
from the oven to the table. Add but

content themselves with vague state

huckleberries taste entirely different
Nevertheless they do. and I lean toward
blueberries for muffln purposes and
huckleberries for eating fresh and "out

There is another way Of telling the
two apart, II you are Obliged to do your
own berrying. The leaves of the buckle
berry bush are sprinkled beneath
with resinous dots, which gives them
an oily, cleaning surface. lacking in
the blueberries. As q rule, also. but
not always, blueberries are smaller and
lighter in color-generally a sort Of
dark smoky violet rather than blue.
Huckleberries are usually bigger and
almost black, even when overcast with
a soft gray-white bloom.
