ANSWER TO QUERY.
SPICED BEETS?


MRS. H. T. D., TGkonG Park
For the lady who inquired
about the Edison Laboratories
these are still operated under
that name. Of course, the
original laboratories have been
replaced by modern buildings,
but the old facilities have been
maintained and are open to the
public as museum. I'm sure
that any information you wish
would be gladly given if you
will write to the Thomas A.
Edison Laboratories, West Or
ange, N. j.
Now for the woman who in
quired aboutl wet mops. Just
before I moved here last spring,
my husband purchased for me a
sponge rubber mop, with a
squeezing device superior to
any others I've had. Although
it is a bit more expensive than
other mops. I believe it is we'll
worth it. It does a thorough
cleaning job. it dries the floor
as well and the sponge-after
six months use-is still like new.
When necessary. the sponge
rubber head can be replaced. I
would suggest that you drop a
card to r. E. Mcmahon g. Co.,
% Marie drive, East Haven,
Conn.,, for information on it.
Now then, can some one give
me a recipe for spiced beets,
served hot?
And. finally, a friend of mine
is interested in making a
braided rug. However, we were
wondering if there is any place
where she could have the ma
terial cut into strips and

"Our heavenly Father, we
humbly beseech thee to bless
this food and our fellowship,
and to enable us to rejoice in
the presence Of the divine un-
seen guest. whose coming to
earth has filled all life with
new meaning and beauty"
Amen.
Mrs. J. H. H., HyattSDille)
I fear our table prayers be-
come rather monotonous, too,
and probably just words, so I
am eagerly awaiting responses
through the RICH, which I like
very. very much.
Before I was married we were
a family of seven children and
singing the table prayer was
good and each one could take
part. Now we are only two so
singing is out. but we do use
the following prayers often.
Be present at our table. Lord.
Be here and everywhere adored.
Tnese mercies bless and grant that we
May feast in paradise with Thee. Amen.
r r Jesus .ss ana 1as g.nt % We SIT down

The first two can be sung

NEW YORK. April 25.-Man-
ager Leo Durocher of the Giants
and Pitcher Vern Bickford of the
Boston Braves shared mutual
case of high blood pressure today
and for a mutual reason-an
umpire.
Both bitterly attacked Plate
Umpire Art Gore for thumbing
them out of yesterdays game at
the Polo Grounds, won by the
Braves in 10 innings, 6-3.
IF I had a player who didn't
follow my signals better than
these umpires follow the rules, y
stormed Durocher, II wouldn' I
keep him five minutes"
Some of these umpires are
too complacent," Bickford said
They've got these jobs for life
and they know they can't lose
them unless they break leg. So
they don't hustle. They ought to
be like players-have to work to
keep their jobs"
Durocher was elected for pro-
testing that Warren SPAIN, Bos-
ton pitcher, threw a "quick Pitch

fifth inning. The New York
manager contended this should
have been called a balk and
Bobby Thomson, on. third, should
have been allowed to score.

Mats Kept Idle

YanksTonlorrow
Bob PorterfieId Due
To Fqce Champions if
Roin'Ever Permits
By Burton Hawkins

Tonights game between the
Mats and Yankees at Griffith Sta
dium was postponed early this
afternoon because of the continued
rain. which already had prevented
two meetings with the Athletics.
Manager Bucky Harris indicated
he would follow his original plan
and use Bob Porterf1eld, his pitch
ing ace, against the champions to-
morrow night. The New York
series will conclude with an after
noon game Sunday. The one
scheduled for tonight is due to be
lplayed off later.
The three postponements have
helped the Mats dispose of their
several physical ailments and also
permitted Harris to send a perked-
up Cass Michaels back into action
at second base.
Plans to bench Michaels pend
ing the outcome of an eye exam
ination have been shelved tempo
rarily. Harris decided to abandon
the idea of an examination fol-
lowing long chat with Michaels,
in the course of which Cass was
given a verbal pat on the back
and some batting advice.
Just Trying Too Hard.
"Cass told me he simply was
trying too hard" Bucky said. land
in pressing got himself all off
stride. I gave him a tip or two
about his batting stroke and he's
going back to second base for an
other shot at it."
Hitless in his last IS trips to
the plate and over one stretch a
strikeout victim on eight of II
appearances at bat, Cass started
the season in good style, then
unaccountably begged down. His
return to the lineup will keep Pete
Runnels, destined as his replace
ment. on the bench.
Two Stars Unavailable.
Floyd Baker, one of the Mats
more pleasant surprises with his
400 hitting, will be back at Short
stop after recovering from a heavy
cold.
While the Yankees employed
two of their top pitchers, Allie
Reynolds and Ed Lopat, against
the Red Sox, Harris was able to
save Porterfield. Connie Marrero
and Sid Hudson for action
against New York.
Porterfield and Marrero rescued
the Mats from a sour start last
week end. After dropping two of
three games to the Red Sox here,
the Mats got superb pitching in
New York as Marrero captured a
Bel decision and Porterfield won,
20. on a six-hitter.
The Mats probably will encoun-
ter Vic Raschi in this series, along
with either Bill Miller, left

LEXINGTON. KY, April 25.-
The 2Sth running of the Blue
Grass Stakes, final distance test
for 3-year-olds before the Ken
lucky Derby, produced little new
information on the Louisville
classic except to confirm that
Gushing Oil still can win at a
mile and an eighth and Cold Com
mand can put on dangerous
stretch run.
Only four Sophomores, all nomi-
mated for the 100000 Derby May
3. turned out for the $31.150 Blue
Grass yesterday at Keeneland, and
Gushing Oil Sloshed through the
rain over a sloppy track to get a
one-length verdict over Cold Com
mand. The other pair, Jet Ace
and Smoke Screen, displayed little
to mark them as Derby timber.
Makes Up 13 Lengths.
Many of the Kentucky hard
boots, rejecting on the race pat
tern, concluded Cold Command
could have won had Jockey Gerald
Porch turned the son of War Ad-
miral loose a bit sooner. Porch
explained later, however, that his
mount was sliding around on the
first turn and never steadied his
stride until he neared the turn out
of the backstretch, about half a
mile from the finish.
AS it was, Gushing Oil, from the
Texas stable of Sam E. Wilson,
jr., laid off the pace set by Mr..
and Mrs. T. M. Daniels Jet Ace,
then took the lead around the last
bend to take first money of
$19.447.50.
However, C. v. Whitney's Cold
Command gained lot of admirers
for his futile stretch dash trying
to catch Gushing Oil. Cold Com
