This has been a prosperous year
for sheep feeders, and now that the
last of the winters product is being
pushed to market, the feeders are
feeling good over the results. Three
hundred and fifty cars have been
shipped from Bent county and there
yet remains $50 more. The highest
price received was by Mitchell and
Cunningham, who this week re-
ceived $3.50 per hundred. The only
time this price was approached was
in 1905, when lambs sold for 50.
The demand for corn and alfalfs fed

TABULATED STANDING.
Showing Just How the Teams Are
 Playing With Each Other.

By winning four games of the sevs en played during the week. Holyoke managed to still maiptain her hold on the first position, 57 points ahead of Waterbury who jumped into the seconds position, by her two victories over New London yesterday. Water- bury took five of the eight games in which she contested, defeating Holy oke, Springfield and Bridgeport. one each, having two victories over the Whalers and losing to Norwich, Bridgeport and New Haven. Spring. field took four out of the six games played and like Waterbury passed out Hartford in the race. The latter city, although having many pennant aspirations. fell by the wayside dur- ing the week, winning only one game of the six played, losing two of the defeats to the leaders. Norwich is still to be reekoned with in this race and will be hard nut for all tha teams to crack before the season Is over. Five victories out of six games played was her record for the week. New Haven won half of the games played, while Bridgeport took two out of five and the Whalers two out of eight. The following is the cor- rect standing to date, including yes@ terday's gamas.

COLLARS OF LINEN
NOT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE
 PASSED YOUTHS BLOOM.
Soft Ruches or NeckWear Of Muslin or Lawn Better Suited to the ElderIy-Transparent White
 UndersIeeves.

Starched white linen should be passed their f,rst youth. The req son is simply because the hard, smooth texture of the material contrasts unfavorably and accen- tuates every wrinkle and bit of yellowishness or tiabbiness in the skin. Better admit that the fresh firmness of youth is gone and dress accordingly than make oneself appear older by emphasizing the gain of years.
 For example, there is scarcely any type of face in girl, or young wom- an, to which a linen collar is not be- coming. The severe white line with smart tie, large or small, is chic, and 1t is this fact which accounts for such collars not going out of fashion.
 Put this kind of neck finish about the throat of a woman who is past middle age and she looks "scraggy" and passe. For her soft ruches should be considered a necessity of life. or, in their stead, white collars made of bias folds of soft muslin or lawn.
 One of the most becoming, and at the same time inexpensive, ties that can be worn is made with width of null three-quarters of yard long. The ends should be rolled and wash lace four inches in width gathered on with double the fullness.
 That completes the neckpiece, but the knack lies in the way it is put on. Instead of holding it so that the ends will be straight across, pull them so that they are bias. Fasten separate white collar foundation on the neck. and then pull the tie so that 1t be- comes the width of the collar. Put this under the chin and cross at the back, where 1t should be held in the middle with a fancy little pin. Bring the two ends around front and you will find that they hang long and pointed. Tie these ends in two common knots, one after the other, the second form ing a square knot. That leaves the two ends hanging like jabot, an ef- feet that is quite finished If the two lowerpoints are pinned invisibly to the waist.
 For the reason that hands betray age or illness by becoming wrinkled or scraggy, stiff cuffs should be avoid ed by all but the young. Soft frills must be used instead.
 The reign of elbow sleeves is so complete that it takes a brave woman to give it no heed. Yet better that one should ignore 1t than spoil ones whole effect by an unbecoming finish, which these short sleeves usually make. This Is due to the fact that woman whose arms are pretty from the elbows down is the exception. "A well-rounded arm" existst more ire. quently in the mind of poet or artist than in fact, and nature turns out some decidedly homely specimens. If woman who knows that she is no. blessed in this derection will give the matter little thought, she will do much to improve herself.

WITH THE P00LISTS. Few Runs Made During the Week With Norwich the Leaders

The week just passed has been noted for the scarcity of runs. The pitchers were either working in great shape or else the batters had an of week for the highest number made was only 37 and that in seven games played. The next nearest were Holyoke and Springfield, who were tied at 24. Waterbury stood down next to last with only IS, while Bridgeport was the lowest with IA. Holyoke had the whip hand in bat. ting making 59 in her seven games played, while the leaders in the pools had 52. All were above forty in hits with the exception of the locals who had but 3S. Hartford was the greatest error maker having 29, with New London next with 27, Waterbury was third with 21. Bridgeport made the least number, II. The following shows the stand. ing of the teams in the Connecticut league in runs. hits and errors for the week. This however does not in. clude yesterdays games:

THE AVERAGES
BATTING AND FIELDING POOR
Past Week Was Jonah One For All the Locals s-One Man in
 the Honor Class.

Almost every man on the team took slump in batting during the week, with the exception of Mike McAn- drews, who made gain of five points, Swander gaining three points. Rogers two, Nichols, jr, six, Hogarty increas- ing, but not yet past the 100, and Ed die Farley, who jumped forty-one points. Some of the drops were un- usually large, which accounts for our poor work against the teams that op- posed us. The majority of victories, however, came our way because of the exceedingly good work of our twrl- CTS. Frank Fitzpatrick, in the games
 played has the highest percentage, with Bronkie, Daniels, Bastian, La chance, McAndrews and O'Rourke all batting better than .250. Where Me Andrews has proven himself to be q valuable man on the team, notwith- standing the knocking he has received, is because he still leads in the great est number of two base hits, is tied ill three base hits, and has the greatest number of sacrifice hits. He is far ahead of all his team mates too in the matter of run making and stands sec ond in the total number of hits made during the season. While he makes many errors, the fans should stop to think that it is the run making that wins the games. Bastian Is another good run getter, although he does make many misplays and Lachance is next in line in the run manipulating and is the daddy of them all in the greatest number of hits. The following are the batting averages, but do not include
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-08-05

ments. For the first time this season we drop below the 900 mark in bat ting, falling down 69 points from tho record of the previous week, whil0) our opponents were dropping but S points. Tn fielding we lowered our record IS points, while those who opposed us gained 12 points. We| made one less run than did thoso who were up against us, but made nine more hits. Our errors counted up 20 to the enemy's Il. The fol- lowing is the way we played with those who were against us, not count ing the games Of yastarday.
