speaking of Sports
Night Baseball,
F ads Hit by
Yankee Chief
By ROBERT McSHANE

EDWARD G. BARROW, president
- of the New York Yankees, in his
latest communicate from the base
ball front, has evidenced complete
disinterest in the many save-the-
game-from-oblivion suggestions
made by various diamond messiahs.
The president of the world cham
pions seems quite well satisfied with
things as they are. In fact, he re-
marked that "Outside of a couple
of young pitchers, you can say I'm
almost tempted to go along as is"
Returning from a southern vaca-
ton, Barrow was emphatic in stat
ing that he is not interested in get
ting Hank Greenberg from Detroit,
in night baseball for the Yankee
stadium during the 1910 season, in
other "fads" or in breaking up the
Yankees or "selling 'em, either"
Barrow believes the Yanks can
win their fifth straight pennant with
out making a single change. A lot
of club owners, incidentally, go
along with him on this belief. He
does admit that the Yanks may have
to bolster a bit here and there, but
only after winning five straight.
Six-day weeks, night baseball and
post-season play-offs or ma or
league Shaugnessy play-offs, were
rapidly disposed Of by Prexy Bar
row. He pointed out that gate re-
ceipts for baseball have increased
100 per cent in the past 20 years.
Why, then, he asked, 60 in for any
new-fangled ideas? The game has
prospered through regularity and
dignity. To tinker with those fac
tors would be dangerous to the well
fare of the game.
Lighting a Fad?
He has little fondness for either
night baseball or the day-off. s"The
idea of six-day playing schedule

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Slow Up Baking. If the oven is
very hot put piece of waxed
paper under the casserole cover.
This will prevent the contents of
the casserole baking too quickly.
Cleaning PhOtOgraphs.-Photo-
graphs that have become soiled
may be made to look like new
by washing them with piece of
white cotton wadding dipped in
cold water. Do not use colored
cotton wadding and never use
soap, soap powder or ammonia
just cold water.
Mixing Flour and Lard.-Don't
rub lard into flour with your hands
when making pastry. Use a silver
fork, which divides and mixes very
quickly. This is easier than chop
ping lard in and saves using a
chopping tray.
White Silks.-To keep white silk
stockings, blouses, etc., from turn
ing yellow in laundering, use
little alcohol in the rinse water.
To Hasten COOking.-Whe u.s.
ing a double boiler the food will
cook more quickly if the water
in the outer vessel is sailed in the
proportion of a fourth of a cup of
salt to one quart of water.
White, Tender Chicken Meat
If chicken is we'll rubbed inside
and out with a cut lemon before
being cooked it will make the meat
white, juicy and tender.
Sandwich Filler.-Peanut butter
mixed with a little cream is good
filling for white or graham cracker
sandwiches for children.
Hanging Window Curtains
When hanging short window cur
tains it will be found an excellent
plan to invest in small staples.
These driven into woodwork or
wall, hold rods firmly in place.
If tapes are used, they may be
drawn through the staples and
fixed so firmly that there is no
chance of the t'droop'' which so
often spoils the effect Of other
wise attractive curtains.

has nothing particular to recon-
mend it-night baseball is a fad and
upsetting to the players, the umpires
and to the newspapers, not to men
ton club officials"
Their fellOw-tOwnsmen, the Giants,
who had been among the foremost
opponents of night baseball, have
capitulated. The success the Brook
Ign Dodgers have had with night
ball, plus the fact that their own
attendance fell considerably last
year, have made the Giants see the
light. Prior to this they not only
we're opposed to night ball in New
York, but were the only National
league club that wouldn't play it on
the road.
The Giants broke down when they
saw the Dodgers attendance figures.
That club played to more than a
million customers, and more than
200, 1000 of them were counted in the
seven night games played in Ebbets
field. In cash that amounted to
b27O, 0OO-exactly 27O, 900 reasons why
Master William Terry decided to
play ball under the mazdas.
Yanks Can Wait
Terry was the Giants strongest
holdout against night ball. Horace
Stoneham, the president, and Leo
Bondy, vice president and treasurer,
were believed to have been in favor
of the innovation.
Barrow isn't pressed by the neces-
sity Of installing a lighting system.
Other ball clubs may have to resort
to artificial devices to drum up box
office trade, but the Yanks continue
to be one of the most talked of
baseball teams in the games his
tory. AS long as they can keep
on winning championships they'll
get crowds. Barrow knows that,
and as business man is shrewd
enough to let other clubs conduct
the experiments.
If, as is thought in some quar-
tiers, night ball is just a fad, then
the Yanks' management will have
saved suitcase full of money. AT
any rate, the champs are sitting in
the golden seat at the present.
They can continue to play cham
pionship baseball and attract crowds
whether they play in the afternoon
or at night. And if the experiment.
for night baseball is still in that
stage-proves successful, the Yanks
will climb on the kilowatt band
wagon.
But Mr.. Barrow would do well to
remember that the horseless car.
riage was considered a mere fad
long after old D0bbin first ran away
at the sight of one.

Grange Endorses Rural
Fire Protection

Rural fire protection in the vicin-

members of the Hardin county Po-

to support the movement.
1t was planned that further action
in the matter will be held in the
near future. The move of the
grange followed a movement which
was started several weeks ago in the
rural areas surrounding Kenton
which are not protected from fire.
The Kenton fire department does
not answer calls outside the city
limits but recently set up program
by which the rural areas could fur
nish the equipment which would be
housed in the Kenton fire hall and
be available for use at all times.

selves about their blue-blooded
mother
The mother is an English Setter
of the famed Mallaw Hawk strain

Seven of the puppies are colored
