New Cinder Star

a NEW cinder star is blazing his
i way around U. S. tracks, and
he's none other than Leslie Mac
Mitchell, the New York university
freshman who broke schoolboy rec
ords all the way from half-mile to
cross country distances.
Glenn Cunningham and Archie
San Romani are emphatic in agree
ing that he is the country's best
mile-running prospect. N. Y. U.
Coach Emil Won Filing says he has
all the physical attributes to be
a great miller. That leaves expert
ence to put him at the head of the
field.
Recently he ran against Cunning
ham and Gene Venzke at 800 me-
tiers. Though he ran fifth behind
Cunningham, no one was disappoint-
ed. He hit 1:55, almost four Sec
onds better than VenZke's winning
time a year ago, and only two sec
onds slower than Cunningham-and
Glenn ran the fastest 800 that's ever
been recorded. MacMitchen made
that time despite the fact that he
got off to a poor start and ran
wide most of the way.
The new runner has the build
and the poise. The average young
ster going up against such famous
rivals would be awe-struck. But
not MacMitchell. He meets them
on equal terms, the way he viii be
racing them before long.
The Olympic games are coming
up in 1910, and the freshman will
be shooting for spot on that team,
and to shoot accurately, he'll need
plenty of fast competition.

Heavy With Smoke.-If the liv-

after the party and yet you cam
not retire leaving a downstairs
window open, put basin of water
in the room and leave it over

Kitchen Garden.-You can use
your kitchen window sill as a

Fish as a Source Of Vitamin D

The sun is concerned, too, with
the production of vitamin D, as it
is by means of sunshine that our
best source becomes available.
Fish liver oils are the richest nat
ural sources of vitamin D. This
vitamin is necessary for the prop
er utilization of calcium and phos-
phorus in building strong bones
and sound teeth. We prize highly
the liver oils of the cod, halibut,
salmon, swordfish and tuna for
their fine amount of this precious
vitamin.
The body oils of certain fish are
also valued for their vitamin D.
Some varieties that are notable
in this respect are salmon, her

THE worlds greatest baseball

pert, will remain almost unchanged
with Edward G.. Barrow, business
manager of the club for 10 years,
now president of the champion New
York Yankees.
Barrow, IL, actually ran things
even while the colonel was alive. He
was one of four trustees named in
the will, and will serve with George
E. Rupert, brother of the late own
er and chief trustee, retaining his
post as vice president, and Al Bren-
nan holding his Office as treasurer.
Former manager of the Boston
Red Sox and a president of the pres

was known as the Eastern league,
Barrow is a baseball man whose
acumen has always been nques-

Questions Answered

Mrs. NJ. McK.-It has been cal
culated that the amount of vita
min G now believed to be neces-
sary for helping to maintain good
health might be supplied by a pint
of milk, one serving of grape
fruit, one whole egg, five slices
of whole wheat bread and one
serving of turnip greens.
Mrs. L. C.. A.-There is abso-
lutely no basis for the old super
stition that fish and milk should
not be taken together. Some per-
sons might have been made i'll by
taking fish and milk at one meal.
But in that case, we must con-
clude that the Individual must
have been allergic to one of these
foods; or possibly the fish was
not fresh.

The various parts of the flower

happy to know that the men he
placed in charge of the Yankees
at his death had passed on COM
plete power to his old and trusted
lieutenant. Barrow possesses one
of the shrewdest brains in the bust
ness, and is the proper man to carry
on the clubs tradition of victory.
For all his years Barrow is still
a strong, aggressive individual. A
member of the old school of base
ball, he is a product of the days
when a manager was at least will
ing to try to whip any man on his
club.
Star Developer
He developed two of basebaIl's
greatest stars-Honus Wagner and
Babe Ruth. Wagner he considers
the best ball player he ever saw,
because he could play more posi-
tons brilliantly than any of the 9TH
ers, including Ruth. He converted
Ruth from a pitcher into the great
est slugger of all Outfelders, ham
ding the Babe with heavy hand.
When they FLASHED it was Ruth who
backed away, not Barrow, who al
ways growled at the huge salaries
Ruth argued Rupert into paying
him.
There won't be any real
change" Barrow stated. 81 always
made the decisions, and it was very
seldom that Colonel Rupert ques-
toned my judgment. I think we'll
rock along about as usual. I
wouldn't be surprised if we won an
other championship this year."
Barrow was born at Springfield,
H., and in his younger days was for
a time city editor of the Des Moines
Leader. Later he was a highly I'M
successful soap salesman before
turning up as manager of the Pater-
son, N. j., club of the Atlantic
league. That was where he uncov-
cred Wagner.
Believe me or not, we played
night game at Wilmington one night
in 1906" he recalls. ut must have
been one of the first. We used old
fashioned arc lights and you couldn't
see any too well. Anyway, the OPP
posing pitcher, Doc Almoe, sneaked
in with a torpedo nearly as big as
baseball and threw it to Wagner.
Hans hit it and as soon as he re-
covered from the explosion he start
ed after Alnoe and wanted to kill
him. We never got going again.
