 Reiser apparently misjudged the ball and fell just as he caught up with it in dead center.
 Rizzuto raised a high fly in short left-center which fell for a double as Reese, Reiser and Hermanski all gathered around and watched it falling. Johnson easily scored on the hit.
 Berra flied deep to Reiser in center and Rizzuto raced to third after the catch.
 Rcynol6s tounced to Jorgensen and Rizzutc was caught between third and home and was declared cut when he ran out of the base line trying to evadc tag by the Dodger third basame
 Jorgensen and Edwards were credited with assists and the third baseman also received a putout.

 Yankees-Henrich walloped Lom- bardi's second pitch into the right oonterfield over the 367-foot sign for a home run. the first by a Yankee in the series
 Lindell hit a savage line drive which bounded into the left field stands for an automatic ground rule double.
 Dodger Coach Clyde Sukeforth strode to the mound and after a thief conversation with Lom5ardi allowed the little lefthander to re- main on the hill.
 When Lombardi's first pitch to DiMaggio was very low, Suke- forth again strode to the mound and this time signalled the end for Vic Hal Gregg, a righthander, relieved Lombardi.
 DiMaggio hit a grasscutter winch bounced off Jorgensens chest but the third baseman recovered in time and sthreW to first for the out, Lindell holding second. Mo Quinn singled off Reeses glove, the ball rolling into short center field enabling Lindell to score.
 Johnson raped Lack to the mound and Gregg, attempting to start a fast double play, threw to Stanky at second but Ed dropp = the tall and 10th runners were safe. Stanky was charged with an error. the first by either side in the series, and Gregg was credited with an assist.

There seems to>be a bit Of con-
fusion these days about the cook
ing of the various types Of hams
now found In the markets. Hams,
although initially expensive. are
good buys, for there is little waste
to them, they keep for use for a
long time, and the ways and means
of their leftovers are nothing short
Of miraculous.
If you buy q labeled wrapped ham,
put out by one Of the big packing
houses, follow the directions on the
wrapper for cooking it. For those
which do not need parboiling and
are so marked-baking In slow
oven brings best results. A ham
weighing l6 to IS pounds requires
four and a half hours to be done
fifteen minutes per pound. A 1914
FOUNDER will take three to four
hours. or about sixteen minutes per
pound. For 10 to IL pound ham,
the total will be three to three

a new method Of preparing nodded
summer salads and desserts: Use
corn starch instead Of gelatin. The
corn starch has this advantage over
gelatin, your nodded dishes will not
melt as gelatinous ones do when
not refrigerated. Something to con-
slider when the mercury scars into the
COS. . Pretty as picture and also
good eating are peach halves with
the centers filled with fruit jelly,
topped with a meringue OF stiffly
beaten egg whites sweetened with
sugar. Sprinkle nuts over the top
and bake at low temperature. :.
Use condensed soups when you need
a quick sauce for creamed or cas-
serole dishes. When you're on
shopping spree for foods to take
to the beach, mountain cabin, or on
a camp trip, don't forget your
canned food friends-olives, peaches,
fruit nectars and luncheon meats.
Just open the can and they're ready
to eat. Labelling your home
canned foods Is about the smartest
thing you can do. Jot down the date,

and grated orange rind. Add some
orange juice to the pan. Set ham In

Irish, has three novels to her credit,

tells how certain of her recipes came

she was born not only to the Kitchen,
but in one, and how her hurried ar

AFRICAN VIOLET; PAINTING
ON FABRIC: WEED KILLERS.
(Fron1 Mrs. II. B., WashingtonJ
I have long been a reader of your
column and have answered several
inquiries. This is in the form OF
an sos. Long and laboriously have
I saved those numerous articles on
African violet growing, hoping that
some day friend would give me a
leaf or two. At last was fortunate
to receive five healthy leaves, two
of which I put into dirt to root and
the other three in water. Just
wanted to see which would root the
fastest. The ones in the water did
and when the roots were about half
an inch long, 7 put them IN pot,
but they never did grow-just rotted
away. The ones in the dirt also
seemed to rot away, so cut of part
of the stem and started them again
in water.
Now my problem, "Mrs. Anthony" !"
Is just how deep do you put the
stems In the dirt? One of the ar
ticles said a 2-inch stem buried up
to the leaf. I watered them from
the bottom, never getting water on
the leaves, but just haven't been
successful in getting plant to grow.
At present 1 have q rooted leaf in
water with a couple Of little leaflike
shoots growing at the roots: Shall
cut the leaf part off and just put the
roots in the dirt, or what? Any help
and suggestions will be appreciated. I
always have thought I had green
thumb" being able to grow all kinds
of cuttings, rose slips, ETC., but these
African violets have me stumped.
OF course, could buy small plant,
but it is more fun to grow one from
the leaf. .---
To the lady asking about painting
on cloth, the stores selling art sup
plies have a grand set for stenciling
on cloth, blouses, hankies, curtains,
etc. You can make your own de-
signs on the stencil paper, inclosed
and heat applied to the back of the
design Is all that is needed to set It,.
Is permanent in every respect. Our
group bought one and is taking
turns using it. The jars OF color go
very far. A group OF interested
neighbors or friends could do the
same, and 1t would cost very little.
Sets run from 50 up, with about
eight colors.
Have had an interesting time ex-
perimenting with the new weed kill
ers we are reading about. They are
Just wonderful. The weeds wilt and
die away and the good grass seems
to close in and grow heavier. At
first tried 1t at the end of the back
yard near the alley, and that place
is still barren. My hubby didn't put
too much faith In it until he saw
the results, but now he praises 1t

scalding milk into egg yolks that
have been well beaten. Add Y cup

until the mixture will coat the spoon

the freezing period.
If you have leftover peanut brittle
around the house sometime, use 1t
instead Of pralines in this recipe.
and think you'll find It almost as
good-although the flavor Of pralines
Is hard to beat!
Sponge cake is our favorite with
praline ice cream, but any simple
cake will do. The cream itself Is
so rich that an overly rich cake
produces much too cloytng finale
for any well-thought-out meal.

CONDENSATION ON TANK:
"NEEAT, TN A TOMATO"

=
(From Mr.. J. c. L., Washington.)
Since some other brave male has
broken the ice, I will attempt to
answer two of the inquiries that ap-
peared in The Star (June 25).
To Mrs. M. W. of Arlington. Since
tap water is coloer than room tenn
perature, water inside your tank
that does not get chance to warm
up to room temperature will cause
condensation on the outside OF the
tank In the same way as glass con-
tanning cold drink will get wet on
the outside. Water is undoubtedly
escaping from your tank and is con-
stantly being replaced by colder
water, keeping the temperature OF
the water in the tank below that OF
the room. In all probability, the
rubber plunger (the one that lifts
up when the handle is turned is the
culprit that is allowing the water to
escape. You can buy new one for
less than a dollar and replace. it
yourself. 1t is very simple. make
sure it is centered) Get good one
while you're at it, it's cheaper in
the long run.
I like to try my hand at cooking
too, but, like most men, it issusually
something besides meat, potatoes
gravy. One of my favorite summer
dishes fills Mrs. A. L. VS. request
pretty we'll. It is called "a meal in
tomato" With an iced drink and
crackers or bread, 1t is all you can
eat for one meal. Here is how to
prepare it:
Four good sized tomatoes. l small
cucumber, Y cup chopped celery, 2
hard cooked eggs, chopped; u cup
chopped meat (any luncheon meat
2 tablespoons chopped green onions,
n cup mayonnaise, dash Of salt.
Peel tomatoes, cut almost through
three times to form six petals. Score
cucumbers with tines of fork Il like
to peel them first-some people do
not). This is just for show, anyway.
Slice. Insert cucumber slices be-
tween each of the petals. Place on
lettuce cups. Combine remaining
ingredients, fill tomatoes. Sprinkle
with paprika and that's all. Serves
four.
A hint on peeling tomatoes. Spear
them on stem side with long kitchen
fork. Toast over flame like marsh
mallow and pop" skin flies OF.
(P. S.-If you gals want a man to
like salads, don't chop meat and
vegetables too fine, make them bite
sized. This is especially true in
tossed salads.)
