POOLING THINGS FOR HOT DAYS.
Ice-cold coffee diluted about half the
strength used when serving it hot. Is
a most refreshing
cool d r 1 u k for
warm weather.
Serve It with a
slice of lemon in
each cup.
Iced C a e o a.—
Sift a cupful of
cocoa with three-
quarters of a cup-
ful of sugar, pour a cupful of hot wa
ter over the mixture and boll until a
rich sirup results. Keep this In n Jar
In the Ice chest and when wishing to
■erve It, a tnblespoonful of the sirup
Is stirred Into a glass of cold milk.
Cocoa Is liked by some with a very
little vanilla flavor and a teaspoonful
of cornstarch to give it more richness.
A pinch of cinnnmon or cloves Is an-
other addition liked by some. Chill
the cocoa, mix It with sugar and
crenm and serve with whipped creum
on top.
Fruit Mint Julep.—Boll three pints
of water and one and a half pounds
of sugnr ten minutes. Remove from
the heat and add a packed cupful of
mint leaves. Cover and let stand ten
minutes. Strain through two thick-
nesses of cheesecloth and cool. Strain
the Juice of 12 lemons, add one and a
half cupfuls each of orange and straw-
berry Juice and turn Into the mint
sirup; let blend at least an hour.
When ready to serve pour a quart of
charged water over a large piece of ice
In the punchbowl, then turn In the
mint Julep, Sprigs of mint and a few
slices of fresh strawberries make a
pretty addition to the bowl.
The secret of fine-flavored Iced tea
Is to make it fresh. Draw the tea
about three minutes, then pour It over
Ice and let stand In chipped Ice until
chilled. Serve by filling glasses one-
third hill of shaved Ice and top with
a bit of lemon. Let each person sweet-
en his own tea.
Oingerade.—This is a drink which
should be used as it Is not only pal-
atable but economical. Stir a table-
spoonful of ginger with four of sugar,
■dd a pint of chilled water and serve
when settled. Some like a dash of
vinegar, others a little molasses In-
stead of sugar for sweetening. This
Is an old-fashioned harvest diink.
Orangeade.—For this simple drink
allow a pint of cold water for each
pint of orange Juice with the Juice of
one lemon. Add sugar to taste and
stand near the Ice until ready to serve.
At serving time beat an egg very light
and pour the liquid over it. Serve at
once.
TWO YOUNG HUBLERS GIVE MUCH PROMISE I RUSSELL FORD QUITS
ftRDIE 5CHUPP ATAMLXT COVEiZSXIE
EARNING THEIR CAKES IN BIG LEAGUES.
(By JACK VEIOCK,
International News Sports Editor.)
Two young pitchers who are earn-
ing their cakes In the big leagues this
season show promise of putting up rec-
ords before they outlive their useful-
ness on the rubber that will give them
a place In that select set which In-
cludes only tbe greatest slabmen of
the game.
One of these two youngsters Is
Ferdlnnnd "Stubblefleld" Schupp, the
brilliant young Bouthpaw of the
Giants. The other Is Stanley Cove-
leskle, the sensutlon of the Cleveland
Indians.
Schupp Is perhaps the most remark-
able of the pair, because he Is a
southpaw, and as a rule the south-
paws have a tough time when they
turn their steps toward the pitching
hall of fame.
McGruw has kept his weather eye
on the work of young Mr. Schupp for
five years. He has always maintained
that Schupp had the makings of a
wonderful pitcher, but though Ferdie
failed to show him anything sensation-
al In the pitching line until last fall
he clung to him, and the' season of
1917 has so far proved that McGraw
knew what he was about.
Schupp is in his twenty-flfth year,
and he Is without a doubt the best
southpaw pitcher In the National
league. He Is considered by many to
be equally as good as Ruth and Leon-
ard, the famous Boston portslders, and
from the pitching he has done so far
this season there Is no great argument
that can be advanced to offset Schupp's
standing In fork-handed ranks.
Schupp has a formidable young rival
for pitching fame in Stanley Coveles-
kie, the Cleveland right-hander. Cove-
leskle is twenty-six years old. Like
Schupp, young Coveleskie has youth
on his side, and today he stunds out
as ti pitching phenom who is Just be-
ginning to come Into his own as a
winner.
Coveleskle's work with the Cleve-
land Indians has been one of the big-
gest features of the season in so far
as pitching goes. He has pitched
against every club in the league, and
has come through on the long end of
a big majority of his games. He is
one of the most effective pitchers In
the big leagues this year, for he has
started already to pile up a string of
shutouts. Last year he allowed an
average of 3.41 runs per nine Innings
pitched, but his 1917 record will show
a smaller percentage.
Compared to his southpaw brother
on the Detroit club. Stanley Coveles-
kie promises to do the most to plaster
fame on the family moniker, for al-
though the older Coveleskie is a won-
derful performer, his kid brother Is
coming on so fast that he bids fair to
pass him as a winning pitcher, and at
that he has his work cut out for him.

posed to Be Spltball Artist, But He
Never U«ed It—Sweeney Gave
Secret Away.
Russell Ford, former major league
pitcher, announced the other day that
he had quit organized baseball because
he "could not get Into form." He will
become a draughtsman, his former em-
ployment.
Ford originated the emery ball,
which has since been legislated from
the gnme.
The delivery was so cnllel because
emery paper was used to roughen purt
of the surface.
The rough part, of course, height-
ened the effect of air friction so that
with practice a clever pitcher could
make the ball break in all sorts of
freakish ways.
Ford, for instance, supposedly a spit-
bnll pitcher, never used a spltter. It
wus the emery ball. Instead, which at
will he could break In either direction,

ECONOMY HINTS.
When vegetables such as lettuce are
wilted do not throw them away, wash
In cold water then place
In a pall tightly covered
and let stand an hour or
two when the crisp fresh-
ness will have returned.
Parsley may be kept for
two or three weeks, by
washing It carefully and
then putting It into a
glass Jar with a cover
well screwed on. It will
help to wash the parsley
once or twice during the time it Is
kept, shaking off the surplus water.
A coffee can is a line receptacle for
crisping lettuce or parsley as it Is
easier to handle from a large-mouthed
receptacle.
This Is the season for mushrooms
and they may be/ound In old pastures
or woods lu abundance, affording deli*
clous food at little cost.
Raspberries and strawberries keep
better when spread out on a platter
or piate, in fact twice as long as when
heaped In a dish; the weight of the
berries crush and spoil them.
Oatmeal Cookies.—Take two cupfuls
of flue or ground oatmeal which hna
been browned, two cupfuls of flour,
one egg, a half cupful of sour milk
and a half teaapoouful of soda, a half
cupful of shortening nnd a cupful of
sugar, add raisins and nuts and drop
from a teaspoon on a well-greased
baking pan.
Rhubarb la delicious baked, using
a cupful of sugar to a pint of finely

Rhubarb Cup Pudding.—Put a tea-

Add a well beaten egg to the crumbs,
a tableapoonful of sugar and a little
nutmeg. Turn this over the rhubarb
In the cups and bake. Add a cupful
of chopped peanuts that have been
carefully cleaned from the little brow n
husk, to a well cooked com mush uml
mold In a small bread pan to cut In
slices to fry. Other nuts such aa hick-
ory or walnut meats may be added,

they ure always In tbe market.

PITCHER DOAK IS HUMOROUS
Makes Retort to Old Acquaintance
That Offspring Is Not a Spitter,
But a Stenographer.
Bill Doak, the Cardinal spltball spe-
cialist, may not be the greatest pitcher
in the majors, but Bill has a rich fund
of natural humor In his makeup. While
walking down the street In St. Louis
with his baby daughter, Doak encoun-
Bill Doak.
tered an old acquaintance who waa not
aware of the fact that Bill has been
a proud father for some little time.
"Whose kid Is that, Bill?" waa the
first question the player's friend asked.
"Mine," proudly replied Bill. After
the friend had got over his surprise
he queried, "Is it another spltter?"
"No," retorted Doak. "Ifs a stenog-
rapher."

York at $9,000, Big Ed got another pal
and battery mute in Ray Keating.
Sweeney taught Keating the emery ball
trick. The secret wus too good for
Keating to keep all to himself. They
do say Ray told every pitcher he met.
It wasn't a secret at all very long, and
the first victim exposed was none other
than Keating himself. Eddie Colllna
had Keating unmasked before a Sat-
urday crowd at the Polo grounds.

subjected to severe discipline. Alert
as all ball players ure, no trace of the
evil has been disclosed. It does seem
In these days of slow games that the
players are allowed too great leeway

STRONG MINOR LEAGUE CLUB
Umpire Frank Connolly Pralaea Jack
Hendricks for Way He Has Built
Up Indian Team.
Frank Connolly, until recently an
umpire In the American association,
and a good one, too, said the other day
that the Indianapolla Indians, Jack
Hendricks' entries in tbe A. A. pen-
nant race, are one of the strongeat
minor league cluba ever got together.
"Ilendrlcka hns built the club up
himself." aald Connolly, "and In three
years he haa got a bunch of play-
ers together who look like sure pen-
nant winner* In the league this year.
Only one member of the club, Rellley,
an outfielder, remains of the aggre-
gation Hendricks Inherited when he
went to the Indiana capital with
Jimmy McGli:
"The pitching staff of the Indian-
npolla club la Its strongiwt iwdnt. Ftl-
ilnglin, a youngster, Is one of the best
pitcher* I've seen In many a day.
Oene Dale, Rex Dawson, Jake North-
rup, Iry Kantlehner and Clint Rogg*
make up the staff.
"The A. A. la faster this year thas
It ha* ever been before. There are
wore good cluba In the league, and

between the league president and hla
