Do you always sift the flour once
Just before measuring?
Do you use fine granulated sugar
when making cakes? There is diff
ference, you know.
Do you cream the shortening and
mix the cake with a beating mo-
ton, not a stirring motion?
Do you level off the teaspoon
measures of baking powder, salt or
soda with a knife so as to be sure
they, too, are accurate?
Do you start the oven 10 to Is
minutes in advance so it will be uni
formly hot before the cake is placed
in it?
Do you use a small, inexpensive
oven thermometer for securing &C
curate oven temperatures if your
range has no oven heat-control?
These are some of the chief fac
tors, careful attention to which helps
to spell success in cake baking. Try
them out in the group of favorite

For years they've wondered when
baseball's grand old man"-Connie
Mack-would retire from managing
the Philadelphia Athletics.
Usually the answer is: Not until
he develops another pennant win
ner.
When he does lay down his ia
nous wigwagging scorecard to
bring choke to many a baseball
throat, his boy Earle probably will
take over the club Connie has di-
rected ever since the American
League started back in 1901
Already Earle is plotting the AS

Gives Pep Talks
Dad gives the players wonder
full talks" he says.
when he became sick this sum-
mer, l decided not to hold any
meetings l didn't think I could
talk to the players like Dad can.
and l thought those meetings
would be dull without him. B u t
they insisted on them"
That's why Earle presides at the
Athletics 1918 am. pep sessions.
They talk over the opposing
teams lineup. The Athletics pitcher
for that day--no kidding, they have
a few-will tell what he's going to
throw to each batter, The fielders
will know where the balls will be
hit, if all's up to schedule. And so
on.
"Loull seldom find our outfielders
running very far to the side for a
ball." says Earle. They may hit
them over their heads or on line
drive in front of them, but seldom
are they out of position"
Even though the Athletics are
pretty we'll down in the standings,
they're always scrapping.
Give us a shortstop and third
baseman who can hit a little bet
ter than the ones we have now.
and a couple of pitchers like
Johnny Marcum, Mel Harder or
Johnny Allen and we'll be up there
Yankees.
Il like this ball club They're al
ways fighting. With a little more
experience, they're going to go
somewhere.
Wonderful Memory
Heir-apparent Earle is pleasant,
a good talker and a good listener
He went to college two years-his
second at Notre Dame. He carries
a small, well-thumbed league sched-
ule, and pulls out his spectacles to
refer to it. His memory of other
players weaknesses is excellent.
Earle likes to talk about the Ath-
'letics' most recent World Saries
triumphs. And seems to be think
ing. at the same time, of those to
come.
In non-baseball hours, you'll
find him wearing brown suit,
two-toned sports shoes and the
conventional sailor straw hat.
Like his dad, Earle waves his
scorecard at players from the dug
out.
But there is a difference. The
scorecaro does double duty for
Connie-attracts players attention,
gives them signals. Earle uses it
only to attract their eyes.

like another son, Roy, does on the
business end.
Earle Mack is 48, and running a
ball club is nothing new to him.
He broke in with the Athletics 16
years ago as a coach IN younger
days, Earle played first base, and
caught occasionally.
Before the World War the tall,
bronzed assistant manager Of the
Athletics was pilot at Raleigh
three years and another year at
Charlotte. After the war he was
manager at Moline, ILL.,, and Mar
tinsburg, W. Va.
With this diamond background,
plus the knowledge derived from
long experience under his mas
ter strategian father, Earle Mack
knows baseball. But he thinks that

orator is about like trying to trade
