AN ALL-AROUND S k
Thanks to the War, housewives hare
been given some unforgettable lessons
In common sense. Minute saving and
penny saving have gained new signifi
cance.
One vital economy which has Im
pressed itself upon thousands of prac
tical women is quick breads—the new
and better way of supplying the staff
of life, always recognized as more es
sential than bullets.
While the pre-war methods which
so frequently suggested the use of
yeast were far ahead of the pre-hls
toric practices of soaking grain in wa
ter until softened, then making Into
a paste and baking into a hard, gran
itic cake, the necessity of using bak
ing powder with substitute flours in
the various war recipes has antiquated
the old, slow, cumbersome methods
which for centuries have handicapped
cooks, without sacrificing taste, tex
tuçe or technique.
Quick breads mean a saving çt time
and when made of high-grade Ingre
dients are also of better quality and
more economical.
The use of baking powder prevents
a continuous loss of a small percent
age of flour from which there Is bo
escape when yeast is used.
One of my friends writes of her ex
periences and how she was won over
to the new way as follows:
"Through my desire to 'Save Food
and Help Win the War,' I became in
terested in an unusual advertisement
for Calumet Baking Powder in which
It was claimed thit dough left over
from the evening meal could be placed
în the refrigerator and used for break
fast biscuits with gratifying results.
"Early training had taught me to
consider yeast as the only leavening
element worthy of my time and trou
ble in baking. I laid aside my preju
dices and was delighted to find the
problems which formerly worried me
are now so easy, and today seem al
most unreal. I am filled with a new
zeal to cook since I gained the help
ofl'tliis time-saving product."
Even though the world is again fol
lowing peaceful pursuits, the purchase
power of a penny is much less than
it was a few years ago. Housewives
can only meet this unusual condition
by heading the lessons which the War
has taught them, Including the tests
that have proven the folly of judging
values by outward appearances, such
as the size of the package or looking
at quantity rather than quality, etc.,
for example—a 10-cent can of CalU'
met will furnish more leavening than
the Big Can of double its size of seats
cheap mixture, manufactured by hap
hazard methods.—Adv.
Sudden Militancy.
"There's a man to see you, sir," said
the office boy.
"What does he look like?" asked the
editor of the Toadvllle Clarion, as he
prepared to make a hasty exit through
a rear door.
"He's a little man, sir, and looks
scared."
"Ah I Show him in, show him in !'
replied the editor in a loud voice. "If
there's anybody around here who ob
jects to the Clarion's uncompromising
stand for truth, justice and liberty I
want to know it !"—Birmingham-Age*

BALTIMORE VERDICT
DOESN'T HURT GAME
Revolutionary Changes Not
Forced, Only Hurried.
President Heydler of Opinion That De
cision of Jury Cannot Retard De
velopment of Pastime—Base
ball Will Thrive.
Professional baseball, under organ
ized control, will live on, despite
the verdict obtained by the Baltimore
club of the defunct Federal league.
The game Itself is no different today
than it has ever been. The fact that
a jury has ordered the powers that be
to pay the Baltimore Federals a few
thousand dollars has not hurt baseball
as a sport and what was first looked
upon as a body blow by a great many
followers of baseball affairs Is now be
ewtopnper
President John A. Heydler.
ing considered as a mere Incident In
the rather eventful history of the
game.
President John A. Heydler of the
National league is of this opinion. He
does not believe that the decision of
a Jury can possibly retard the devel
opment of the pastime and he predicts
a highly successful comeback for the
game.
Just as long as the competitive game
is maintained on the same high basis
that has characterized it for so many
years, baseball will thrive. The fact
that the fan doesn't give two whoops
about the business side of the game
has often been demonstrated.
The new order of things which Pres
ident Ban Johnson of the American
league predicts and which President
Heydler suggests may come to pass,
will probably work a benefit rather
than a hurt to the business in the long
run.
As baseball Is now constituted, the
player contract, with the reserve
clause, the draft law and the agree
ment between leagues stands as Its
backbone, for despite the supposed
abrogation of the national agreement,
the minor leagues are still affiliated
with the majors officially.
The fact that a club can keep one
ball player as long as it chooses to do
so or let him out on ten days' notice
has been the bugaboo of the game. A
new form of contract that will satisfy
most any court will be about all that
baseball will need In the way of a
change.
There Is no need for dissolving the
national commission because of the
Baltimore verdict

But Spoke saya he has no trouble

"One day, summer before last," says
he, "the upper stands were packed

a ball square on the end of my bat
and drove It a mile a minute into that
upper crowd.
"It bit a woman In the head, and I

•Tm not talking about any pennants or world's championships," said Tat
Moran, "but if ever I have the luck to land a winner in Cincinnati I only hope
the Boston Red Sox will be topllners in the American league.
"That's one ambition of my life—to some day have a club that will beat
those lucky people. They had given It all up and were packing their bats to
go home when Snodgrass made that muff In 1912. Against my old team they
won by transferring the games from the Red Sox park to the Braves' field.
Twice, at the Braves' field, Cactus Cravath made drives that would have sailed
over the fence at Fenway and won two games for my club—and Duffy Lewis
caught them both. Then, in Philadelphia, what happened? We had forgotten
to take a little pen, a small fenced lot, out of the center field, and they popped
two home runs Into that tiny quadrangle."

$ NEVER DEFEATED
Boston baseball teams have
never been defeated in a world's
series. In 1903 the Americans
beat Pittsburg ; in 1912 they won
from \he Giants; in 1915 they
downed the Phillies; In 1916 the
Brooklyn champions were hum
bled, and last year the Cubs
were defeated. In 1914 the Bos
ton Nationals upset the dope by
trimming Connie Mack's great
team representing the Philadel
phia American league hi four
straight games.
IS ANOTHER CRAZY SCHMIDT
Pitcher Bagby of Cleveland Indians,
Keeps Tab on Batters by Book
keeping System.
Every pitcher in the big show has
first hand information regarding the
hitting ability of every player, but few,
if any, have as near perfect a record
on the batters as Jim Bagby, one of
Lee Fohl's pitching aces. Bagby has
a system of baseball bookkeeping that

years ago when Jim tvas setting the
Southern league on fire he fell upon
the Idea of keeping tab on Individual
batters and also the different teams
as a whole. He did this with aid of
a pocket memorandum.
After each game Bagby would re
cord the success or failure of this or
that batter, adding such notes regard
ing the batter's style as he deemed
useful for future reference and guid
ance. Jim was so successful that sea
son that he has continued the practice.
The other day Bagby was asked If he
still "kept book" on the batters and
answered In the affirmative. The same
system that worked so well In the
Southeru league has been Just as ef
fective In the American. Jim was
tipped off a whole heap when he first
went up, but is now In a position to
rely upon himself and his own expe
riences and records.
