HONESTY OF ATHLETICS’ YOUNG CATCHER

- -77' 1 •/> -4 2 Four words spoken by Wally Schang, Connie Mack’s great young catcher, brought to an abrupt ending an argument which threatened to assume the proportion of a small riot during a game with the Cleveland Naps on Sunday last season. The decision was close, and as the Mackmen were fighting to hold the lead, also was a mighty important one. ■. . . The play came up at the Cleveland League park. It happened on a Sunday about the middle of August Chief Bender was chased from the box that day —Terry Turner scored the first of four runs in the seventh Inning, which gave the Naps the game. Turner made one of his famous head-first slides into the home plate. Billy Evans, who was umpiring, called him out and then immediately changed his decision. To the Athletic players of course It looked as if Schang had touched

SHANKS IS CLEVER FIELDER

Manager Clarke Griffith Puts One of His Players Ahead of This Speaker of Boston Red Sox, "Howard Shanks is, in my mind, the greatest fielding butfieldfer in baseball” This is the complimentary estimate of Clarke Griffith, when the manager was discussing the defensive strength ,of the whole Washington combination. [ “Like the rest ofthem. Shanks makes his errors, but if he has a chronic weakness in fielding I have yet to discover it He can come forward, go backward or move to either aide. No one is his equal in handling grounders and he throws so fast and accurately that he keeps the value of hits down to the minimum. "I have'often rated Tris Speaker as the leader, Jout now I give Shanks the place. In tact, I doubt if there has ever been a much better fielder than Howard. "We all know that Shanks is no world beater when it comes to hit-

ting, but he has always met the bail bo bard that there is still hope for the tide to turn, and then—- “ Furthermore, I would like to see any club in the country present a stronger defense than We do when Johnson is pitching with Ainsmlth catching. They beat us once in a while with thia crew going, but whenever they do they know they have been in a battle,’’ concluded the manager. *

Destructive as Toothpicks.

Turner out. But Evans noticed that just as Schang tried to touch Turner’s hand with the ball, Terry slipped his hand aside. Schang, instead of tagging Turner’s hand, tagged the ground. Turner then deftly slid his hand back to the plate. When Evans saw Schang apparently touch Terry’s hand, he called him out, but when he saw Terry slip his hand aside and then tag the plate, he pronounced him safe. Athletic players, led by Eddie Collins, ran in and kicked with might and main. Connie Mack wig-wagged with his score card and Schang walked to the Phi lad elphia bench, followed by the kicking Athletics. “What was the trouble at the plate?” Mack asked of Schang. “Didn’t you get Turner?” "No, I missed him,” was Schang’s surprising reply. Fans gasped with surprise when they saw the Athletics return to their stations without saying another word.

ONE-ARMED PLAYER IS STAR

Dick Hooper, With Texas University Team, Makes Many Sensational Catches in Outfield.

Texas university owns a baseball player to whom a “sensational onehanded catch" is a matter of daily occurrence. To go further still, he has never been known to use two hands in catching a fly ball, and he works in the outfield, too. The reason is that he is a one-armed player, and he’s the star of the club, at that. His name is Dick Hooper.and he always plays center field for his alma mater.

Hooper, who handles himself surprisingly well in the garden, is a wonder. He does not get away with the real sensational runs or leaps into the air, but he does get away with remarkably pretty fielding work, as a fly is always certain when he can get under it.

Hooper is a fair batter, also. It is almost a shame, according to the view of the average fan, that the pitcher does not let up on this one-armed man. But the pitchers have to watch Dick closely. He gets hits unexpectedly and is known to do the least expected things. He is not a home run hitter, but he is fairly reliable and can make good use of bunting in sacrificing.

Manager Branch Rickey of the St Louis Browns is starting competition with Charley Carr and Billy Doyle, promoters of baseball schools. Rickey has announced that' all St. Lqpis youngsters who think they can play ball are welcome to report to him and get schooling. Ten ambitious youths took advantage of the offer on the day it was made.

Manager Bill Phillips of the Indianapolis Fed team, announces with a good deal of gusto that he has landed a star southpaw in Pitcher Boyd, who had to quit the game last year in the Southern League because of a dead arm and failed in an attempt to come back in the South this spring because of the arm’s refusal to deliver.

Stovall’s Hands Bother Him.

Manager Gebrge Stovall of the Kansas City Federate found out right soon that bls hands, which had troubled him while with the St. Louis Bf-owns, would not permit him to play" regularly and he is likely to finish the season as a bench manager, convinced that his playing days are over.

Joe Leonard, third base recruit, with Pittsburgh, is only twenty years old. Two years ago he gave up high school and joined the Des Moines dub in the Western league, where he made good. Leonard plans to take up the study of meijicine at Notre Dame university at the close of the 1014 season.

DAINTY FRENCH GOWN

FOR SUMMER EVENING OR A GRADUATION DRESS.

Simply Made, of Dotted and Embroidered Swiss, It Makes Ideal Garment for the Woman Who Must “ Look at Cost.

It was irresistible, this little gown of the sketch, as it hung in the quaintest of chintz-curtained windows of a specialty shop on the Rue de I’Opera, writes a Paris correspondent of the Washington Star. A reassuring “English Spoken” placard was a further inducement to enter, so 1 ventured In tor closer inspection. The English they spoke was confined to a very few words, and those few but remotely euggefetive of our tongue. However, they made up for it in graciousness, and we managed fairly well. “Ma’mzelle desired to buy the so charming costume, was it not?” “No, it was not—but did they object to her making a sketch to send home to an American newspaper?” It seemed that there was no objection, and so—here it is. It is bound to make a lovely summer evening gown, but I’ve been wondering if it wouldn’t please soihe sweet girl graduate as well. You see, it was made of dotted and embroidered swiss, and this should commend it to some one with whom economy is a necessary virtue. * -j The bodice consisted of two sleeveless sides sloped off to the shoulder and cut out in a deep V neck, back and front. The embroidered portion was. arranged just above the bust. With it was worn a dainty kimonosleeved guimpe with tiny finishing ruffles at the elbows and decolletage.

Pertinent Suggestion for a Summer Evening Gown or Graduation Dress.

Although it was only a very small touch, much 'charm was evidenced in the small flatly applied bowknots of light blue ribbon which trimmed the sleeves. There was also a narrow blue girdle that tied in back with long streamers. The short tunic flounce that was

BONNETS FOR LITTLE ONES

Varying Hats That Will Be Suitable to Needs of Small Maidens’ Summer Wear.

After your little daughter has been supplied with her “knockabout” hat it is time to plan her bonnet for best wear. The loveliest hats are developed of transparent materials, such as net, point d’esprit or shadow lace, arranged over a wire foundation. The latter can be purchased at any shop where millinery is sold, and the wires should be wrapped with strips of silk before covering with the tulle. z An extremely dainty model is a quaint Dutch bonnet suggesting the lace caps worn by the Vollendam maids. The wire foundation is covered with pink washable silk, and over this arranged the covering of dotted tulle. The crown Is shirred at intervals, and the brim is edged with a tiny frill. , Two clusters of small flowers in tones of pale blue, pink and mauve trim the brim. About the crown is drawn a ruching of lace. A very lovely little hat can easily be duplicated. The brim is slightly mushroom, and the foundation is covered with pale pink silk. The dotted tulle is then shirred on cords and fitted over ths frame, and a frill of narrow lace softens the line at the edge of a band. Tile trimming consists of a band of nattier-blue ribbon drawn about the crown and tied in a flat bow at the side. A single rose is placed on the brim at the left side. Other charming bonnets are of leghorn, lined with taffeta and trimmed with flowers. These also can be duplicated at home. The lace bonnet, how-

hung with even gathers from the high waist line was caught up higher at the left side than at the right, and its lower edge was cut right through the embroidered border of the material. Under this was a longer pouched tunic, gathered at the top and caught in about the lower edge with a string of chiffon roses. A single one was caught under "the blue ribbon girdle at one side. The skirt proper could have had an upper part of net where it tvae hidden by the tunic. It was draped a little in front with a few simple folds and cut out over the instep. The stiff, much-dressed swisses will not, of course, do for a design of this kind. A soft-finished variety is the proper thing, and the dots should not be too small nor too cloeely placed, as the effect will be quite lost.

GETTING “PEG-TOP” EFFECT

New Model of Taffeta Shows How the Desired Result Is Possible of Achievement.

When the flounced gown first came back, a few months since, it managed to keep quite flat by permitting no fulness in the flounces. It is very different now, for there is plenty of fulness in all of them, but chief!# in the one immediately below the waist. A new model of, this kind is in green taffeta with seven flounces on the skirt and an eighth formed by the basque of the body, very full and fluffy. The bodice opens in a deep square, outlined by narrow black velvet, which is tied in a bow at the waist with long, flying ends. The throat is bare, a Medici collar rising at the back. . A flounced gown for evening wear is made of silk crepon in a delicate tone of mauve, with a deep belt of mauve, pale blue and silver broche. The skirt is of the peg-top order, and is wide enough at the hem to admit of dancing comfortably. The peg-top effect is produced by three flounces between hips and knees.

ever, seems to have no rival for best wear, and you will be wise to fashion one for your little daughter.

FLOWERS THE CHIEF FEATURE

In All Varieties and Colors They Are Used to Adorn the Season’s Millinery. Already word has gone forth that flowers are to bloom abundantly on millinery. And fashion is very definite about the sort of flowers to be favored. The rose will be of medium size and made of straw or of straw combined with silk, but always with cork foliage. Pansies are again in vdgue and appear in every shade of purple, blue, yellow and red, with here and there a white one streaked with a color. Forget-me-nots, for years neglected by fashion, are in again, no* only in the familiar blue tones, but in a new reddish-brown, named pheasant, which is to be strong in spring millinery. Lilies-of-the-vdlley are to the fore, made chiefly of a luster-surfaced muslin which gives their petals a curious opaque appearance. In company with them is seen a collection of small, delicately colored wild Sorters whose names only the botanists know. Not alone for the bride are the or ange blossom and the myrtle. Both are to be wom by the woman who is happily married, been married and divorced and by the most outspoken of tnan-haters. These flowers are not often put on whito hata as they show to most advantage on the heavy new braid« in black, tete de qegre or phase ant brown. ,

MADE A PERSONAL APPEAL

Tailor’s Desperate Endeavor to Make Convention Listen to “His Best Customer."

Registrar O’Loughlin of Brooklyn will think twice before he undertakes to address another convention of tailors. His own tailor led him into it. O’Loughlin put on his openwork clothes and sat on the platform. Tailors, cutters, buyers, city salesmen, bushelmen, models, bosses, other Items of the tailoring industry buzzed loudly on the floor. Now and then some man would enter and be greeted with applause. “ThaV said O’Loughlin’s tailor and guide, “is Max Schleiner, he is the buyer for Clipperstein & Menx.” Hours O’Lougblin sat there.-At last he was Introduced as the next, speaker. No one paid the least attention to him. Conversation rose toward the heights of emotion. After three false starts O’Loughlin sat down. He was angry enough for arson. His tailor saw the black rage on his brow. “Ladies and gentlemen," he bellowed, whacking at the table with his gavel. ‘“You should listen to Mr. O’Loughlin. He is my best customer. —Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.

EYE STRAIN

Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many case's of defective vision are caused by the habitual use of coffee. It is said that in Arabia where coffee is used in large quantities, many lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea contains the same drug, caffeine, as coffee A N. J. woman writes to the point concerning eye trouble and coffee. She says: "My son was for years troubled with his eyes. He tried several kinds of glasses without relief. Thq optician said there was a defect in his eyes which was hard to reach. “Ho used to'drink coffee, as we all did, and finally quit it and began to use postum. That was three years ago and he has not had to wear glasses and has had no trouble with his eyes since. “I was always fond of tea and coffee and finally became so nervous I could hardly sit still long enough to eat a meal. My heart was in such a condition I . thought I might die at any time. “Medicine did not give me relief and I was almost desperate. It was about this time we decided to quit coffee and use Dostum, and have used it •ver since. I am in perfect health. No trouble now with my heart and never felt better in my life. "Postum has been a great blessing to us all, particularly to my son and myself." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellvllle,” in pkgs. V Postum now comes tn two forma: Regular Postum —must be well boiled. 15c and 250 packages. Instant Postum—is a soluble powder.

Immigration figures show that the population of Canada increased during 1913, by the addition of 400,000 new settlers from the United States and Europe. Most of these have gone nS on farms in provinces of Manitoba, 43 Saskatchewan and Alberta. Lord William Percy, an English Nobleman, Mys: “The possibilities and opportunities offered by the Canadian West are so infinitely wM greater than those which exist in England. MB that it seems absurd to think that should be impeded from coming to theftAJ country where they can most easily and<dpM certainly improve their position.
