WASHINGTON SOCIETYS
ANTE-HOLIDAY GAYETY.
The President and Mrs Roosevelt Set the Pace
in Social Affairs.

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 1.-THE
weeks Immediately preceding the hol-
idays are always brilliant ones in the
social world of the Capital, though by
no means the giddy whirl that follows
the formal raising of the curtain on
New Years Day. Heretofore society
has devoted the short initial season
almost entirely to teas, dinners,
luncheons and similar rather tame
entertainments; but this year, to its
credit be it said. the social happen
ings have so far had a distinctly ar
tistic flavor mostly in the way of
music. No doubt this is largely due
to the example of the White House,
which naturally sets the social pace
in the D. c., if not for the entire
country. Mrs. Roosevelt's weekly
musicales. the lectures and other en-
tertainments of an intellectual charac-
ter which have been of frequent oc-
currence in the East Parlor, during
the whole of the present administra-
ton are bearing pleasant fruit in the
decided change which has taken place
in social affairs.
Miss Alice Roosevelt is now in New
York, en- route to Boston for a ten
days visit to her grandmother. Mrs.
George c. Lee. She will return to
the metropolis in time to participate
in the debut festivities of her young
cousin, Miss Corinne Robinson. who
will be presented to society. Dec. %,
and Miss Alice will probably be in
Washington for Christmas.

ty early this week to young people,
in honor to the Netherlands Minister,
Mr.. Jorkeer r. de Mares van w.
Suenderen. and his iancee, Miss Eliz-
abeth Glover. Definite arrangements
for this marriage were only completed
yesterday, the minister having just re-
turned from a short visit to Holland.
The ceremony, for which large num-
Der of invitations are issued to-day,
will take place on Dec. 81, at noon. in
the Church of the Epiphany, the Rt.
Rev. Bishop SatterIee, officiating. The
bride-elect, a tall and beautiful young
woman. will be attended only by a
maid of honor. and the bridegroom
of the lengthy cognomen will have
as his best man the Belgian Minister,
Baron Moncheur. Two foreign friends
of the Netherlands minister will come
from Europe to officiate as ushers. A
wedding breakfast at the Glover home
will follow the ceremony, which will
be limited to members of the diplomatic
circle and close personal friends of the
contracting parties.

THIRD BASENAN'S TASK
IS NOW MUCH EASIER
Foul-Strike Rule initiates Against
Batsman PurPosely Hitting Fast
Ones in That Direction.

There was a time when the third
base position was considered the hard
est place 70 play on a team" SAYS
Manager Kelley Of the Reds. but the
foul strike has altered that. and the
third baseman has not near the task ne
formerly had.
In the old days. before the foul strike
came to hamper batters, with only a
moderate supply OF courage. Ieft-nand
hitters always tried hard to slam fast
ones down past third base. this being
especially true of them when the third
baseman was lying in wait for bunt
They did not care II the ball went foul
for there were no penalties then for
fouls, and they could make the attempts
many times as they desired Nc
Graw had the third base line habit OF
hitting about as much as anybody In
the business, and have heard It claim
ed hundreds Of times that he was foul
ing the ball intentionally when I'm reality
ne was striving TO hit the ball safely
just over third base so that IL would GO
far into foul territory just after it got
past the bag.
But now. when a foul counts a strike
up to a certain point. the batsman can
not afford TO take the chances ne former
~ did and so the third bascmau is spared
many a hard hit by the place hittars
who do not care to te Denalized and
who. therefore. keep their hits as far
from the foul line as they possibly can.
In the matter Of buntr the third base
man has about as much work as he
formerly had, but In all other respects
his position is easier 10 play a fact
which accounts for there being so many
more good third basemen now than
there were few years ago"
