It is true that unless the meat of some kinds of field game is properly cooked it does retain a strong ilavor that most of us do not relish. Especially is this true of the meat of the rabbit. Yet it is one of the most delicious of wild meats if properly prepared, j' Here is a method of cooking the rabbit that eliminates every vestige of the disagreeable taste, and results in one of the most nourishing and del ectable of foods that the woods and fields furnish: After dressing separate the game into live parts the front and hind quarters and the piece across - the kidneys (which, by the way, is the most deliciously flavored part of the rabbit) and place in strong salt water over night, or for a period of eight hours at least. Take the game out of this salt water at the proper time and wash thoroughly under running water if possible, until it is clean of all salt and blood. . Now place m clear water and boil over a slow fire until partly done; then lift out again and wash under running water, in this second operation strive to remove all the outside tissue which has been cooked loose. It is this tis sue which gives the game its strong navor. Place in clear, clean water again and boil until the meat is ready to leave the bones. Now remove and roll in wheat flour,' cracker crumbs or corn meal whichever you prefer. bacon grease and sweet butter , are the best fats in which to fry a rabbit. Fill the frying, pan partly full of these fats and place the flavoured or cornmeal covered pieces in the hot grease and fry until a brown crust, crisp and brittle, forms oyer the meat Keep turning often and I assure you you'll haVe one of the rarest, the most satisfying game dishes that for est or stream aifords. ' Some prefer to freeze the rabbit over night before cooking. Others serve with small particles of onion cooked with the game but I have never found that any of these methods pro duce the delicate taste, flavor and food value of the parboiled meat.

The auctioneer asked the folks "what am I bid?" Some body chirped up. The auctioneer registered terrible agony over the outrageously small bid tor so great a steed.

When He Can Make Fortune Being Star in Athletics By FRANK O. MENKE. (Copyright 1(21 bsr Kin Features Syndi cate, inc.) What's the use of training your boy to become prexy of the U. S. A-.. owner of the Steel Corporation or John D.'s successor, in the oil bus iness? . Why not let him take a fling at being a first slinger, a baseballer, a jockey, a billiardist or something aknv-one of these professions where he can have fun and millions at the same time? If he is a skinny, puny youngster. why not shoo him off to the racetrack nd develop him into a horse pilot; Earl Sande is A tiny mite so frail in appearance that one never could conceive his doing .any husky chores. tans only 19 or 20, yet he has a valet, a chauffeur, a suite in one of Gotham's most fashionable hotels, a bankroll of around $200,000 and an income around $100,000 a year. ; Outstanding "Jock." ' If Sande hadn't gone in for horse mahship, the chances are . that at this moment he d be a' first-class messcn ger boy, a printer's devil or an office clerk at $15 a week. But now Sande is the outstanding plutocrat among the jocks but there are many jun- ners-up. . The youthful Fater likewise pos sesses a valet, a fine home, a bulging bank account and an income that closely approaches .that of President Warren G. Harding. Frankie Rob inson, who was killed in a fall ; year or two ago, was only 21 or so and had been riding but a few years. Yet Robinson's estate was valued at around $500,000. . Willie Hoppft doesn't do anything else but play billiards. . And he finds much joy m it. Jikewise he hnds it extremely lucrative. The, annual Hoppe income from exhibition matches and "side issue" stuff is iu the neighborhood of $75,000. Hoppe, who has been earning on that' basis. for years, is now only about half the age of Harding. ' Dempsey "Cleaned Up." No one knows exactly how much Jack Dempsey cleaned up in the two years that he's been champing the fistic universe. But one can gather a fair idea by totalling the following estimates: WlUard fight ... Miske fight .... Brennan figlt . Carpentier fight . Moving pictures Theatrical work' Incidentals . . ... . 27.B0O ... 66,000 ... 100.000 ... 300,000 ... 400,000 ... 75,000 ... 100,000 That's a grand estimated total of over $1,000,000; split it in half and it means about $500,000 a year for the two years of his punching reign Dempsey is Only 26 and he spent only five years in the climb to the heights. Harding had to trek the trail for more than half a century before he achieved his $75,000 job. Most men expend hundreds even thousands of dollars annually for the joys of golfing. But when one turns "pro" and becomes a good "pro" that's different. Harry Var don and some of his' English asso ciates rankamong the topnotchers. Their annual income from exhibition matches in which they find just as much tinkist joy as does the ama teur player is between ssu.OUO to $75,000 a year. Ruth Makes "HauL" . The busting Babe Ruth speared close to $150,000 in 1920 and should repeat this year. So in two seasons, working only about eight months a year, he gathered in heap much base ball joy and a salary, working hours considered, about 12 times greater than that paid to the presi dent of the United States. For Ruth works on an average of about two - hous a" day, whereas Harding puts in a minimum of eight and, when imporant matters press him, is at the nation's service 24 hours in -each day. Sande, Hoppe, Vardon, Dempsey and Ruth are, of course, the glow ing exceptions. But there are legions of others in the ranks of sportdom who are paid from two to 10 times as much for actual work hours than are national presidents, bank prexies and corporation executives. Speaker s salary is around $J5,UUU a year, rick ups boost nis income to $50,000 for six months' work, of several hours daily. Cobb's earn ings for more than 10 years have averaged around $25,000 annually, less Willard annexed close to $1,000,000 while he was champion. Benny Leonard has made close to $500,000, Johnny Kilbane $250,000. and the other topnotchers have amassed between $100,000 and $250,-000.- And the vast bulk of then have Mcmohis bantamweieht. tonioht was 28. assembled these fortunes before their 26th birthday. Jockeys Wealthy. Buddy i.nscr was averaging around $30,000 a year before his habits got him in bad. Ted Sloan made over $2,500,000 as a jockey. Schuttinger, Cotilctti. Kummer, Penman, Butwell, Meogh and a score of other jockeys average be tween $10,000 and $40,000 for a season's work in the saddle. Johnny Loftus used to gather in about $50,000 yearly before his riding license was revoked. So why train your boy to be mere ly the president of the United States o'r owner of the Standard Oil com pany? Just let him run amuck in sportdom for a while and he'll be a millionaire at 21 maybe.

Expects Hard Game Saturday Cincinnati School Fears Croiphton More Than it Did Praying Colonels of Centre College, Cincinnati, O., Oct. 26. (Special Tclgram.)--Thc St. Xavirr college team expects a harder battle from the Creighton university team at Corcoran field Saturday afternoon than that which the famous Praying Colonels of Centre collfse gave their, here two weeks ago. From a lit of vcight which Coach Joe Meyer has obtained hi opponents will aver age IWJ pounds, which is about pounds heavier than the Saints and the heaviest team his men ' have dailicd with thi season. t The St. "X." nun are indulging in tome hard practice with all the regulars back in the scrimmage save Quarterback dishing, who i watch ing the practice from the side lines. "Cush" suffered a hard blow on the "fad in tne centre game ana nas not recuperated. An X-ray examin ation failed to disclose any serious. damage, but it is doubtful whether he will be in condition to play against the western team this week. Full back Marncll. although a little stiff and sore, is back in the' lineup. The fact that the Crciihton team outweighs the local squad will not play any big part in the morale of Joe Meyer's aggregation, because the taste from the centre game is still on their palates and they will throw every ounce of energy into their play in their initial combat with (he western team. The game will be unique because the St. "X." has not scouted the western aggregation and the Creigh ton team has not spied on the Saints, for in these modern days it is a hob by for colleges to usually scout their opponents in advance. Joe Meyer has been drilling his team into many new plays, which he believes will fool any team. Each team does not know what to expect of their op ponents and will have to solve their own defense problems by quick thinking.
