DICTATES OF FASHION Belts of patent leather, soft morocco and suede ar all modish. They are rather narrow. Among novelties in sacques are those of corded and shot silk, which give a novel finish to the outdoor toilet. On some of the smartest boots the white uppers affect the form of gaiters with an apparent strap passing under the foot. A chlo Idea in footgear is to have the buckle and the heel giving a dash of color to a smart shoe, and scarlet or white Is most effective. The floating paradise plume is at the moment the favorite millinery trimming, and white plumes on black hats are specially popular. The new ohangeable taffetas come in double width and are most advantageous for cutting. Many exquisite combinations for blouses can be had, a popular one being gold and the new hydrangea blue.

young man named Tom Se&ton sneaked Into the rosy dreams of Chicago's Cubs yesterday afternoon and handed

mem a. Deattnr as unexpected as tt was harmful to their chances for closing In on the Giants. The score was 6 to 1 and It would have bean n

coat of whitewash If Magician Doolan

naa not supped a cog la the ninth Inning. Lurid Lew Richie was assigned to Oppose this Seaton person and accepted the task with a smile on his face. Said smile looked more like a forced grin after the second inning and faded oft the map of Lurid Lew entirely in the fourth inning, when he had to give way to Convalescent Cheney. . . The Phillies accumulated three runs off their former' team mate in the second session by good clean hitting, helped out by an excusable boot by Vic Saier. They annexed another run on a triple and single with nobody out in the fourth inning, before Manager

JIM FLYI TO FIGHT MILLER ON LABOR DAY

Rati TTV a r m r.r r.1 . . t- i

n . I. pig j Charlie Miller, the heavyweight pugilist, who has been referred to as the rock-ribbed Roumanian. Is the hap-1 piest man in sluggerdom today. He is matched with Jim Flynn, who recent- i ly stepped a Queensberfry measure I with Jack Johnson at Las Vegas, and'

he feels that he has gained the company of the champions and near champions. The match was ratified yesterday "when Coffroth received a telegram from Jack Curley, manager of Flynn, advising him that the terms had been accepted and asking that railroad transportation for two be forwarded to Chicago. The bout will take place at the Daly City arena on Labor day,

Sept. 2, and Flynn will arrive in San Francisco to begin training before the week is out. Miller is built to endure. He has come to the front through the baptism of blows. - He has been used as a buffer by famous pugilists who have trained In and around San Francisco and he has improved hia fistic education through the medium of the fourround game. At first a Joke, he has come to be regarded seriously. He is willing, uncomplaining, good natured. courage-

oes and a clean fighter always, and, in consequence, he is a' great J favorite with the followers of the spOrt of the glove. Flynn practically jumped at the chance to box Miller. No doubt Fireman Jim thinks handling extra big htaviea his specialty since he made such a holy; show of Leviathan. Carl Morris at Madison Square Garden. But Miller may prove an entirely different proposition. To begin with, Flynn will probably flrcl that Miller's capacity Iqr punishment is in excess Of that itt Carl Morris.

ORGANIZE U N 1 0 N IN SECRET

News Leaks Out That Meeti ngs Have Been Held and

Dave Fultz Appointed as Leader.

New" York, Aug. 7. Reports were In

circulation today that a union of baseball players, which had been long contemplated, was organised at a secret meeting in the office of David Fults, lawyer and formerly a star ball

player, at 1 Wall street. It was stated

that the fact that the meeting was to

be held was not Intended to be made public, but It leaked out today.

Some of the members of the St.

Louts baseball olub. who are now stopping at the Somerset hotel, said

today that a union of baseball play

ers had been rormea, dui wouia noi

go Into details, and it was stated that

Mr. Fults was to be its first president.

This club, as well as every club in the atlonal league, it was said, was represented at the meeting. A similar meeting of American league representatives is said to have been held here

recently when the clubs of that league

were In the east. " It was stated that ' the project had the sympathy of some of the managers of .clubs, but It was not the Intention

to take them into membership, as they

might then be in a position In which there might be a conflict of duty between the union and the baseball magnates. Mr. Fultx said today that the organization of baseball players was not by any means a labor union. It was to systematize matters so that every one would be in a fair position. 'There are no details to give at present," he continued, "but when our plans are completed there will be a statement. An assoclaton of baseball

players will be formed, but It will not be a labor union. We are not ready to go into details, but a statement

will be made when our plans are completed." 1

WHITE'S HURLING BALKS SENATORS

Doc White gave the pennant aspirations of the Senators a severe bump at Comiskey park yesterday when he neatly and precisely trimmed them by a score of 2 to 1. Doc had some luck and a lot of other things to turn the trick, but he deserves the major por- , tlon of the glory, for his excellent and artistic hurling never permitted Grlf- ' flth'a athletes to become boisterous. I

The day before they had clouted out sixteen hits for a total of twenty-five bases. Yesterday they gathered four hits for a total ef four bases, so it seems that the pitching played an important part in stopping the daring and sturdy fellows from the capital. The Sox themselves were hitting after a scanty fashion, making only four safe swats, and the luck that helped Doc to put over such a pretty

victory came with one of the base hits r' of the Sox, for in the first Inning w York., when they had a man on second and CHICAGO . . one on third, Collins slashed one Plttsbure . . right at George McBride, and the ball Philadelphia taking a peculiar bound.
