Plugging along without former
All-Americans on the lineup, the
President, however, have what
what they think is necessary to
make q successful season: local
names and faces. The team opens
it's campaign Sunday, meeting the
Patterson Partners at Patterson,

Case is right handed and a
good hitter. He takes a free, loose
swing at the ball and knocks it
into the outfield. His natural
tendency is to pull the ball, which
is characteristic of all good
hitters. He can hit to right, and
he can hit with power.

how Clark Gable would have han
died that ball, or maybe how Fred
McMurray would have looked out
there near the fence with the
eyes of the crowd upon him.
HE'S CONFIDENT
Now let's get straight on this.
We don't accuse the Trenton kid
of fancying himself. He's con-
fident, and baseball needs lot
of confident kids. He looks right
now as if he will be taking his cuts
and shagging those far flung drives
for many day in this town.
He looks the part" said Harris
this morning, "but let's wait bit.
The game has sent so many good
looking kids up to the majors only
to have them flash and die. I'll
say this: I'll be more disappointed
than Chase if he fails to make the
grade"
Case got two hits against the
Indians and drove in two runs.
One drive went to center and one
to left. He has hit consistently
and hard, and his teammates are
quite as enthusiastic over his
chances of making the team next
year as he is.
BLOODWORTH GOING UP
Jimmy Bloodworth is on the
way up. The youngster looked SO
per cent better in yesterdays game
than he has at any time since he
joined the team. Bloodworth can
go to his right about as far as any
youngster who has come up to the
majors for a long time. He isn't
smooth yet, but there are few who
will complain about that. He will
boot one now and then. Gehrin.

Jimmy DeShong pitched seven
great innings and one decidedly
mediocre inning. But DeShong
guided the Griffs through to vic,

hits. four of which were punched
in the sixth inning for four runs

q Question:

When Using Soda-To prevent
the soda taste in foods in which
soda is used as leavening agent,
dissolve the soda in small
amount of liquid called for in the
recipe before mixing it with the
other ingredients.
Testing Fish-If fish is fresh and
has been properly refrigerated
from the time it was caught, it
will have a little odor. If it has
a strong odor do not serve it. Let
your nose and eyes tell you wheth-
er or not it is usable.
Avoid TarniSh-Silver that is
put away is apt to tarnish quick
ly. But if you put a few pieces of
camphor in with it it will keep
bright.
Sparkling Glasses-To get a
beautiful sparkle on cut glass,
wash in cold water to which a
few drops of ammonia have been
added. Dry and polish with clean
tissue paper.

tells because, in bygone days, /
stopped at all the bad ones.
The worst was one back East
built over a jungle of side tracks.
I wrote a piece about that hotel.
It had hot and cold running cock
reaches on every floor and all-night
switch-engine service; the room
towels only needed buttons on them
to be peekaboo waists, but the roller
towel in the public washroom had
through the years, so solidified that
if the house burned down it surely
would have been left standing. The
cook labored under the delusion that
fly was something to cook with.
Everybody who'd ever registered
there recognized the establishment.
So the citizens raised funds and
tore down their old hotel, thereby
making homeless wanderers Of half
a million resident bedbugs; and
they put up a fine new hotel which
paid a profit, whereas the old one
had been losing money ever since
the fall Of Richmond.
A good hotel is the best adver-
tisement any town can have, but a
bad one is just the same as an extra
pesthouse where the patients have
to pay.

you've persisted in ever since you
