pairs of stout legs incased in white
struck terror to the souls of opposing
teams. The white sock was the agis OF
victory upon the field.
This is why Capitaine Bebe Arson
determined to revert to white hose. His

Then they wore another color of hose;
result, defeat. Now Is stocky calves are
in white again. Who can doubt the con-
sequences?-Chicago Record.
