Baseball Soon Uses Tn Young Men.

NEW YORK, July 27.-TSpecial. When
Black Jack Burdock appeared on the
diamond few days ago, in consequence
of the accident on the Brooklyn grounds,
one of the papers gravely said that Bur
dock was one of the oldest persons in the
world
1t was significant remark, for really
Burdock is not so very old. He is perhaps
half as old as De Lesseps when he dug
through Suez. But the fact is, the base
ball profession demands young men.
When a man has played ten seasons he
may pe only % or 80 years old, but every
body thinks of him as a veteran.
1t is typical of the game that perhaps
the most closely watched-certainly the
most hard worked-player in the league
this year hasI been Rusie. the strong
young Hoosier. who Is not yet old enough
to vote. Sir Timothy keefe, the pet of
two or three years back. retires broken
hearted from the Giants, yet Tim is still a
young man. Lovett, of the Brooklyns. is
q Young pitcher who has done the most
wonderful feat Of the year-shutting out
the Giants without Hit. Not so Young as
Rusie. he cleverly saved his arm by wear
of rest
Men last longer on the bases and in the
field, or even behind the bat. Professional
baseball is not at any point an elysIum for
a man beyond s., however IS for the
pitchers, thew will probably succeed each
other as the rising star follows the setting.

1t. and the necessity for having many
changes is done away with.
One of these essentially aquatic cos
tunes is made of butcher-bIue linen.
Around the bottom of the skirt there is an
embroidered design of anchors, fancifully
interviewer. Below the anchors are thres
very narrow rows OF white braid extend
ing only across the front and side breadrhs.
The blouse waist has a deep sailor collar,
the ends of which are brought down in
front and tied with a true lovers knot.
The sailor collar and also the standing col
lar are edged with three rows of the white
braid. There is breast pocket, also edged
with the braid and with an anchor design
worked upon it. The sleeves are full at
the shoulders and caught in at the wrist
with three rows of white braid Around
the cuffs there is another design of anch-
ors. A sailor hat is also worn with thi.
costume.
The fishing girl has chance re come out

The most progressing and enterprising
of these fishing costumes which has yet
been seen is made of a checked tweed so
cunningly contrived with a double skirt
that il looks precisely as if the wearer had

Another of these Louis costumes was of
brown velveteen combined with yellow
brocade. Dark blue velveteen and gold
lace and brocade were the materials in an
other. Crimson and pale wine color
formed another. and 50 on, and so on. In
every case the combination must offer
decided contrast in color, the brocade be-
ing very light and rich looking and the
velvet dark and heavy.
For a boat ride in which one is to remain
seated, merely doing the picturesque in one
corner of the boat, it really matters little
what kind of skirt is worn, provided the
waist and the hat be pretty, becoming,
natty and jaunty. Very smart waists of
some nice materials may be made UP by
the half dozen to be worn with any good,
serviceable skirt.
A specially pretty blouse which can be
worn with any colored skirt is white silk
one, dotted with old rose spots 4 finely
pleated frili should go around the neck and
be arranged down the front of the waist in
fichu becomingly put on so that it is
very broad at the throat, and very narrow
at the waist. This gives a becoming taper
ing effect. The skirt of the blouse is left
rather long. The blouse may be belted
with a broad metal band. or it may be
simply drawn in at the waist with an
elastic, and finished with frill of the old
rose so as to make pretty finish. The
sleeves should be full, with puffs st the
shoulders and frill at the hands.
One OF the low-crowned pancake sailors
goes well with this river gown. A band of
the old gold silk should be strapped tightly
around the low crown, and a bunch of
loops and ends wired stit1iy upright at the
back. Surah and white cambrics dotted
with pretty colored figures also display
themselves 10 very good advantage made
up in this way.
A skirt which Is supplied with several
bodices after this fashion, really gives the
appearance Of being as many complete
costumes as there are waits, because. after
all, the skirt Of gown does not form a
very important part Of the costume. 1t is

coats in which the ladies array themselves
for an afternoons walk. Velveteen forms
the material for the skirt which accom-
psnies the coat and also for the coat
itself. That is, the wearer of it has a
fondness for looking as if she had just
stepped out Of an ancient picture gallery.
The skirt is made perfectly plain, and as
scanty in front as possible, with a full back
and demi-train. The coat has high-puffed
sleeves and is so long that it reaches almost
TO the knees. There are big hip pockets
and broad lapels turning back and high
standing collar. For the vest there is
brocaded satin front, with bow of chiffon
trimmed with lace at the neck. The deep
turned-baek cuffs are also of brocaded
satin, edged next the hand with frill of
lace so deep that it falls down over the
knuckles. As to the color of the velveteen,
a great deal is left to the wearer's taste,
only she must not use a light shade. be-

BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 8.-The report of
bloody fight to finish at the state peni-
tertiary came to light in this city today.
The extraordinary event occurred five
weeks ago last Sunday. Boxing had been
permitted by the warden for months and
1t eliminated in a finish fight between
convicts McCreary and Dunlap in which
the latter was whipped.
The prehminaries we're arranged by
Warden Mack and his guards. The pris
oners were allowed to bet money and ar
ticles which they manufactured on the re-
suit and on the day of the fight were pres
ent en- masse. Guard Alex Roberts, son
Of Prison Commissioner Roberts, was bot
tie holder for one of the
combatants. All the officials of
the prison were present. The fight
was a particularly savage one, Convict
Dunlap being pounded until covered with
blood, and he was almost unable to stand
when his second ia guard threw up the
sponge,
The news of the affair has caused a SEN
sation, and there is a clamor for an inves-
tigatiOn.
