amounts. Naturally, the way we
acquire energy is through the food
we eat. Meat used as the founda-
tion of balanced diet is whole
some and energy-giving. 1t also
aids digestion, owing to its appe-
tite appeal.
Red-hots, aside from being the
picnic by-word, have their place
in the home, at the baseball game,
at the football game, at the races,
and at any number of other gath
erings. The popularity of the red
hot is not surprising, since it not
only is one of our most economical
foods, but also is an exceptionally
appetizing and easily prepared
meat.
The crown made from frank
furters is an innovation so far as
novelties in foods go, and one that
you will surely want to try. 1t
makes delightful main dish for
the Sunday-night supper, or may
be used as an attractive way to
serve frankfurters for the family
dinner. 1t is so easily made that
it is really no trouble at all.
TOR the frankfurter crown, Sc
lect frankfurters which are
uniform in size, preferably the
short, plump variety. Thread these
onto a heavy string, using a large
darning needle to make this an
easy matter. Tie the ends of the
string together and shape the
crown, with the concave side of
the frankfurters toward the out
side. Fill the center with a we'll
favored bread dressing and place
slices of frankfurter over the top.
Partially cook bacon slices and
fasten these with toothpicks
around the outside, as shown in

between a buttered roll with gol-
den-brown, crisp bacon, and per-
haps served with a cucumber
salad, are very popular for pic
MICS.
An unusual way to serve frank
furters for the home meal is to
boil red-hots, place them on a
serving dish, brown about one
fourth cup of diced celery in a
frying pan, and add catsup, salt
and pepper. The sauce is then
poured over the red-hots on the
serving dish and surrounded with
creamed potatoes, with chopped
parsley sprinkled over the top.
Don't you think that should de-
light a hot-weather appetite?
Even though the weather is
hot, the right quantity and kind
of food must be eaten. Most people
use up just as much, if not more,
energy in the summer than in the
winter. They enjoy many sports
in summer, such as swimming,
rowing, golfing and tennis, all of
which require energy in large

mystifying popular magic trick.
EFFECT: Performer borrows
gentleman's hat from any men,
ber of the audience and, holding
it up for view, plainly shows that
it is entirely empty and unpre-
pared. Placing the hat on a
nearby table he advances to the
audience a few steps and re-
marks: 81 once saw a magician
borrow a hat from a member of
his audience and, after showing
it to be empty, he muttered few
magic words, waved his hand in
the air and produced live rabbit
out of it. Ever since witnessed

it myself, but ! don't seem to be
able to remember the words, SO

back towards the audience.

crown in a slow oven long enough
for the frankfurters to become
thoroughly heated through and
puffed, and the dressing to be-
come done.
Any well-seasoned bread dress
ing may be used. The following
is a particularly good one for this
frankfurter crown.
Bread Dressing
a pound bulk sausage
a cup grated onion
2 frdnkfurters, sliced
teaspoon salt
teaspoon poultry seasoning
" teaspoon pepper
loaf bread, finely diced
egg, Shghtly beaten
Meat stock
Brown the sausage and grated
onion together. Add the bread
crumbs, finely diced frankfurters
and seasonings. Moisten with egg
and enough meat stock to hold the
dressing together. Mix thoroughly
and fill the crown. Slice frankfurt
ters over the top.
THE frankfurter crown should
be served as soon as taken
from the oven, SO that the frank
furters will be as plump as pos
sible. AS they cool, the steam in
side the casing condenses, and the
frankfurters shriyel. To serve, the
string holding the crown in shape
is cut, and frankfurters, bit of
bacon and spoonful of dressing
are served to each person.
To complete the main course of
the meal, sauerkraut Is the usual
accompaniment. This may be
served separately. or in case the
crown Is small, 1t may be served
very effectively on bed of sauer-
kraut.

0kays District
AsMembers

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July II.
For the first time in the history Of
ice hockey, the Southeastern
Hockey League, of which Wash
ington Is a member, will play a
split season next winter.
This was decided at a meeting
of the circuit at the convention
hall here today.
Before adopting the idea of a
split season the league formally
admitted Washington. The league
will meet again August IA at
Hershey, Pa.
The split season schedule is ex-
pected to include 48 games, each
team playing "a at home.
For Walker Cup
The winners of the first and
second halves will clash in five
game playoff series for the league
title and the James j. Walker
trophy, emblematic of the loop
crown.
In the event one club wins both
halves Of the split season the sec
ond clubs will play a twogame,
total goal series for the right to
play the first place club. The
remaining clubs, which do not
figure in the play-offs, will play
a separate series for the Hershey
Cup.
The addition of Washington to
the circuit means six clubs will
participate in the race for the
league flag next season. Wash
ington was presented at the meet
ing by Joe Cambria, who is build
ing rink in the Nations Capital
and who will operate the club
there
Ready in October
Cambria was enthusiastically
welcomed into the league by rep
resentatives of the Baltimore, Her
shey. New York, Atlantic City and
Pittsburgh teams.
Cambria informed the team rep
resentativeS the D. C. rink would
be ready by October !, in plenty
of time for the opening of the
league, about November 20.
A fishing trip followed the
league meeting, on which the rep
resentatives were guests of Phil
Thompson, manager of the At
lantic City Sea Gull Club and
secretary of the league.

Over yonder, at White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, Barney Welsh,
District champion, is holding the
spotlight and getting a few
breaks"
So far, Barney, who is the de-
Tending champion, hasn't even
had a stiff workout in his drive
to the semifinals.
Yesterday, when it appeared as
if Capt. Stanley K. Robinson, for
mer Army title-holder, was going
to make Rockville's Rambling
Rocket do some tall rallying to
win, the captain was forced to
forfeit by a twisted ankle, after
having won the first set, 6-3,
and leading in the first game OF
the second set, 40-15.
HeSSes Looming
The Hesses will have it from
now on as far as Barney is con-
cerned. Jake Hess. jr., and his
brother, Wilbur, from Houston,
Tex, both gained the seminal
bracket yesterday with such ease
that Barney has developed a
couple of deep burrows on his
classic brow.
Jake literally pounded one of
the strong contenders, Sam Cohn,
of the courts, 81, 60. and then
beat Alex Kettles, of Baltimore,
Ga, 60, while Wilbur elimi-
mated the potent Baltimorean,
Elmer Rudy, 8-6. 60.
So Barney figures that one OF
the Hess boys will be his final
round opponent, if he reaches the
finals.

Chevy Chase playground courts a
sizzling match is on tap starting

Bluege Has
Umpiiriing
Traits
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

AHU%S SpOSN0 ~@S~S
The first thing you
are going to do, if you
follow these lines, is to
accuse me of being a
bit premature, and I'm
going to plead guilty,
admit everything and
ask for no recount in
order to checkmate
any such charge.
Like 80 per cent of Wash.
ington, I've been laying haunt,
ing eyes on that fellow, ossie
Bluege, baseball's miracle man
of 1885, here of late, and I've
made up my mind what to do
with the fellow if and when
he should ever happen to crack
and be forced to lay aside his
magic glove.
There have been indications and
expressions at times which hint
ed that when OSSie no longer
cavorts in Washington's infield,
he may become a. coach Tor
the younger and oncoming infield-
ers.
Might Be Lost
Such a role would undoubtedly
be right down Bluege's alley, pro-
vided it is possible for anyone to
learn to play and think as fast as
has Bluege these many years.
No matter how good the men
tor, if the pupil is mentally and
physically unable to absorb and
execute the lightning-like traits
Bleuge would be able to impart,
the latter's brilliance might be
lost as a coach.
Too, Griff has never shown any
inclination to find coaching berthS
for some of his brightest stars,
such as Sam Rice and Joe Judge,
once they were slowed up afield,
so it cannot be depended upon
that Bluege will ever have such a
local affiliation. Griff did 90
back and get Earl McNeely after
many years absence.
It's a cinch Griff will never part
with Ossie so long as he can break
a blade of grass with his spikes
after that Bluege is more likely
to be on his own, however.
But there is one solution for
that inevitable hour when the sue
cessor of Walter Johnson in the
affections of local baseball fans
can no longer prowl tn scraped
surface Of a baseball diamond.
Credit to Trade
am convinced the fellow would
make remarkably efficient, hon.
est and creditable umpire.

League can use some such. If the
umpires as a whole were ever
worse in this league than they are
now, I wish some tolerant soul
would point out that era TO me.
You can name the good ones on
the fingers of either hand or the
toes of either foot.
The National League, on the
other hand, is so surfeitted with
able arbiters it can afford to let
men like Dolly Stark turn his
talents toward radio broadcasting
and become a hold-out.
One of the important phases of
Bluege's qualifications as an UNI
pire is to be found in his excel
lent judgment of balls and strikes.
