This tyranny will end with the appearance of the college graduate who has concentrated in cooking. The Greek or French cook will come out of the kitchen; gone will be the cry of "black and tan" or the hoarse shout of "sea-goings".

Booth allowed seven hits in as many innings one of them a home run by Guerney, while the other run was also upon his shoulders. Edes scoring from second in the first inning after the Crimson hurler's two base error had allowed him to reach this station. Cutts...
