Boston beat them out In 1903 and In 1904 Philadelphia tumbled to fifth place. In the next race, the Mackmen qualified as the American league's representative In the first world s series conducted un der the auspices of the National Com mission. but were decisively defeated by the New York Giants, and were shut out in four of the five games. Bender blanked the Giants In his team's lone victory. The gameness of the 1910 Athletics has been proved and those who ear lier in the race taunted them as quit ters and predicted that they would not stand the strain, have been si lenced by their sustained steadiness at all stages of the campaign. Most of the veterans are still In line. Coombs. Bender. Plank and Morgan are considered the big four of the Athletic artllerists. but none but Mack knows who will be his slab men In the world's championship merles It Is possible that Krause may be specially prepared for these engagements. .— CINCINNATI SECURES A STAR D»ve A t ity Who Ha* Contributed Much to Success of Minneapolis.

HIS CAREER WAS ACCIDENTAL Harry Mclntlre, On* of the Winning Pitcher* on the Chicago Team, Tells of Start. BY HARRY MdNTIRE. (Copyright. 1»W. by Joseph B. Bowles.) My baseball career was rather an accident from the outset. I never had the slightest idea of earning my live lihood playing ball or of taking It up as a profession. The truth la that I was Inclined to go Into the priesthood when I was a small boy, and my other ambition was to be a locomotive en gineer. From tbe time 1 first can remember I loved baseball and played It, always as a pitcher, if the other fellows would let me, and when they wouldn't let me pitch I played somewhere else. It was at the Brothers’ school at Dayton, O.. that I first belonged to an organized team. I was backstop for the catcher, and very proud to chase balls that went past him. I began to study pitch ing then, for we had a good pitcher on the school team, and I watched to see what he did to puzzle batters. One of the priests had been a pitcher at school, and he taught me some more. I remember when he told me that keeping cool and never losing the tem per was a better way of winning than pitching curves. Pretty soon our class team let me pitch, and after a time we tackled the school team and beat them so I was put on the school team. I began to think I knew it all. and It took several t‘eatings to show me how little I knew. When I left school 1 was looking for a Job and a friend of mine, who was playing on the Kankakee (111.) Y. M. C. A. club asked roe to come over there and pitch for that team. I looked on it Just as a summer vaca tion. but made good there and found myself getting along so well 1 com menced to study pitching seriously as my profession. It was hard work with many discouragements, but I stuck to it. Every time a batter made a bit off me I studied to find why he bad hit Harry Mclntlrc. It and what I ought to have done to keep him from hitting hard. The next; season I arrived at Danville. I1L. and played all summer. There was a wise old catcher there who taught me a lot. and from there I took a couple of big Jumps into the big league and have stuck. I think the great reason why I have managed to stick Is that I never have stopped study ing the game and its players. If s man gets to know It all he will be In the bush leagues soon. BROTHERHOOD HAD FAST BALL - ■ In 1890 Baseball Players Used Sphere That Burned Infieldera When Hit—Some Batting. Speaking of the rubber-cored ball aud the cork-cored ball and likewise the cry for more batting, how many of the fans remember the time when a ball was used that did result In ex tra slugging? In 1890, vnen the Brotherhood was hatched and tried, there was the same yell for extra batting that you hear today. The Brotherhood decided to gratify the wish. and. first of all. moved the pitcher a foot back. Then they had a special ball built, with twice as much rubber as was contained In the Reach-Spalding globule. The result was batting till you couldn't rest. but. unfortunately, was also had fielding. While the new ball went so fast and so burnlngly that the infieldera had to duck or die. It also took weird and inexplicable leaps, and when sail ing for the outfield, would actually turn and wheel away am If blown by the wind. It Is the plain truth, and no exag geration. absurd as it may seem, many a time a ball would start for center, and. with the center fielder all set. would swing over and take the right or left fielder off his guard. Batting? Plenty. Pete Browning led with .391. Had the prsaent scor ing rules, which all favor the bats man. been In use. Pete would hare been tabbed .450. maybe more. Any time they want more batting, a rub ber-centered ball, with additional rub ber. Is the thing to do the work. Browning would hsre hit about .600 that season with the pitcher as far back as he is now, and using that lively ball.

The Problem of Left-Over Vegetables. Many housewives have numerous ways of serving left-over meats, but the vegetable is either thrown away or appears just as it was served the day before. Corn may be prepared as an es calloped dish or put into a potato or other vegetable salad to the advantage of the latter. A cupful will make suf ficient corn oysters for four people. Add a tablespoonful of milk, a beat en egg and flour with baking powder well sifted to make them hold togeth er. then fry In hot fat. A small quantity of tomatoes may I he added to a soup, a meat sauce or an escalloped dish of corn. Cold string beans make an excel-' lent salad: Add a teaspoonful of chopped onion to a cupful of string beans with salt and pepper to taste. Cut a slice of bacon into dice and fry; pour the fat over the beans, then add a quarter of a cupful of hot vinegar, and serve. Cheese added to creamed string j beans changes the dish to one quite : new. A few peas may be added to the broth of a mutton stew and served with it, making a dish most palatable. ! Scalloped onions are especially nice prepared with cold boiled onions; fla vor with cheese. A green pea omelet is a most deli cious luncheon dish. Drain a cupful of cold cooked peas, mash and season, i I \\ hen the omelet is ready to serve spread the peas over one-half and fold. | Serve on a hot platter. ! Turnips and {quash may be sea i soned and baked. Cabbage is good treated as the string j beans were, with hot bacon fat and vinegar. Celery is very nice cooked and served In a white sauce. Tomato toast is a nice way to serve ' a little left-over tomator: Take a | ; cupful of boiling hot tomatoes, season ' with butter, salt and pepper. Stir in three well-beaten eggs and a half cup ful of hot cream. Serve on buttered ■ toast. Several vegetables together often makes a very acceptable dish: such as potatoes, a sprinkling of onions, a ; cupful of tomatoes and a few peas, with a little chopped roast beef. The dish is ready after a half-hour's ba king, fit to set before the king. To scatter loving smiles and words of cheer To those around whose lives are now so dear. They may not idee; you In the coming year; No* Is the Time. Apples.

Bake well, covered until ten- < der. uncover snd beap on them a i meringue made of the whites of three 1 eggs beaten stiff snd two tablespoon fuls of powdered sugar added, brown i In the oven and serve either hot or cold. Parisian Apples. i A dainty and attractive way of ' serving apples Is to pare them and ' cut with a small potato cutter Into ! balls. Put them at once over the fire t snd cook In water, sugar and a little i lemon juice. When the balls are ten- 1 der, before they lose their shape heap 1 them on rounds of buttered toast 1 which have been spread with apple , Jelly. Sprinkle with chopped almonds snd heap over them the whites of two eggs beaten stiff snd sweetened with two tablespoonfuls of powdered su gar snd flavored with a teaspoonful i at lemon Juice.

Have at hand some diced-rlpe peaches gen erously sprinkled with sugar and lem on Juice, fill the mould nearly full, then pour in the cream. Bury in Ice 1 and salt for three hours. The follow ing will be a dessert that 1 is at least uncommon: Creole orange cream with almonds in a double boiler, put two cupfuls of water, the juice of four oranges, the rind of two, and two cupfuls of sugar and the beaten yolks of ten eggs. Stir until the mixture thickens. Put into a freezer and stir until half frozen, then add the beaten whites of five i eggs and one cupful of blanched shred ded and browned almonds. Finish freezing, then stand packed for two hours. Creme de Menthe Sandwiches. These are a fine accompaniment for cold lamb.

Cool in a square mold and when firm cut in thin slices and place between buttered slices of rye bread. ■ _ HEN thou dost tell another's Jest, therein Omit the oats, which true wit cannot need.
