coming rapidly to the fore and promise
to nave a strong influence on the early
fall models.
One of the latest ideas introduced is a
circular veil; that Is, II spread out the
veil will form a perfect circle. 1t is a type
which, though very simple is stylish and
drapes very nicely.
The latest idea in petticoats Is to wear
one of a brighter hue under a more sombre
skirt. The fabrics used for the dress
skirt are the sheerer materials, such as
wolfe, colinne and m~arquisette.
Corsetieres are making their wares
shorter in the back. The garment is re-
turning to the shape 1t held ten years ago
high under the arms and back, ~slanting
at the centre. The makers are also re-
turning to the plain white coutil corset.
Chamois is playing a prominent part in
the manufacture of belts. The belts are
finished with handsome gold, or good
buckles closely resembling gold. In pur-
chasing a belt of this kind one Is for
tunate in being able to purchase a tiny
handbag which exactly matches the belt.

A silk petticoat intended for house wear
Is built Of the softest of pastel pink silk.
1t is fitted around the hips, but 1t flares
very widely around the foot, which lies
upon the floor in a very cascade OF
founces. The trimmings consist of points

are lace medallions of silk a deeper shade.
Hats quite as much as gowns show two
tones, and many OF the net crowns are
draped over a foundation of quite a diner
ent shade. Even the feathers show the
same influence, and one Of the decided
| novelties Of the year are the long ostrich
plumes shot with two widely different col
orlngs, so that as the light falls on them
1t is impossible to say definitely h their
colors really are.
For something stylish and attractive for
afternoon wear there could be nothing
heater than a dress of white French MAIN
sock finished with fine Valenciennes and
ribbons. 1t is a delicate piece of work to
embroider the material, so any embroidered
pieces are Supplied at the collar and belt
with ready-made pieces. The two-piece
pattern is best for this dress, making the
garment sleeveless with a rather prim un-
dervest and moderately stlff sleeves Of
French embroidery. This gives a %jaunti-
ness to the lace and nainsook which keeps
the thin dress from looking b~edraggled.
Naturally it is worn over a petticoat of
like material. There should be no at
tempt to have the dress proper anything
but the hlmiest kind of a garment, while
the fresh appearance is supplied In the
underbodice and fine underskirt.

PITCHER HARDY
WATCHES BASES CLOSELY

In the Toledo News-Bee yesterday Pitch
er Addie Joss tells the following story at
the expense of Jimmy jackson:
Speaking of Nick Altrock's great work
in catching runners off first, recalls other
twirlers who can perform some in this re-
spect. He could make base runners hug
the bag some, but the best man ever saw
in this respect is Hardy, who was tried out
by Washington last fall. He has all the
others cheated when it comes to nipping
runners. In game which Hardy pitched
against the Maps last fall, Turner, who
had been walked, was caught off the bag
before he had time to take a step back to
safety, and as he had been cautioned to
watch Hardy closely he was numerically
roasted when he returned to the bench. The
man with the most to say was Jimmy
Jackson, who offered to bet any of us hat
that Hardy could not catch him. About an
inning later the General reached first,
and Lajoie, who was coaching, warned him
not to get caught Never mind; he won't
get me- replied Jackson, as he took a
step toward second. Quick as a flash Hardy
tossed the ball to Stahl and when Jackson
woke up Connolly had called him out. What
the gang on the bench did to Jimmy when
he sat down will linger long in his mind.
Talk about Altrock. Why, he isn't
marker for Hardy. All the latter has to do
is to get you overbalanced and the fire is
out"

NO CENTlPEDE RACE
FOR COLLEGE CREWS

NEW YORK, February 15.-It was an
nounced yesterday that the board Of stew
ards of the intercollegiate regatta has de-
cided to abandon the plan of holding cent?
pede races at Poughkeepsie between crews
from the universities composing the Inter
collegiate Regatta Association. This ac-
ton was taken because Of the small num-
Der Of entries that had been received for
the event.
When the matter of holding a centipede
race was first brought up Coaches Ellis
Ward of Pennsylvania and James Rice of
Columbia were enthusiastic over the plan,
and Immediately sent in their entries, but
the project was opposed by the other four
college coaches, Courtney of Cornell and
Ten Eyck Of Syracuse being especially out
spoken in their stand against the plan.
When only two entries out of six had been
received nothing but the definite dropping
Of the matter remained for the board Of
stewards.
Coach Rice Of Columbia said yesterday:
.'The refusal OF the stewards to sanction
centipede race at P0ughkeepsie will not
affect my use of the system in training this
spring. Just as soon as first and second
varsity combinations are picked I expect
to boat the second crew as an octopede

Barney Dreyfuss the Pittsburg National

deals where he holds the "2}' end, but
Johnny Fay once pulled off a gag on him
that to this day makes him sore to be re-
minded of. At the time DreyfusS, Harry
Pulliam and the Pittsburg team were at
Hot Springs Fay started a horse named
Tom Middleton at Memphis, and endured
the agony of seeing him go under the wire
a winner at 80 to 1 without a cent of his
money down. To help take away the bad
taste Fay at the instant his horse finished
sent Dreyfuss telegram reading: tom
Middleton sure to win" Dreyfuss and the
others were out when the tip came, and the
clerk put the telegram in Barney's box.
When the crowd came back out came the
yellow, and a rush to the pool room fol-
lowed. The first thing they saw was Mid

We're willing to make affidavit that they

he wrote to the Western Union president
about it. and then Fay explained matters.

"PHONY" BASE BALL
WORKED BOTH WAYS

south in one of it's training seasons says
Hughey Jennings, land we struck little
college team down in Knoxville, Tenn,
which Hanlon had booked on an open
date. Joe Kelly and 1 were on mischief
bent and made up our minds We would
give the college boys little chase that
day. so We threw out rabbit to their
pitcher when he went to bat in the second
inning, substituting it for the ball that had
been in play. OF course. we had a lot of
fun running the bases, and a few of the
fellows who weren't next to the fun couldn't
understand why they were hitting the ball
so fast. We ran in dozen or so runs
and then some one accidentally fouled the
rabbit over the fence. OF course we were
put out in short order then. Well the col
lege boy first up fouled the regulation ball
out in the same way, and it so happened
that the rabbit had come back. and the
college manager threw it out, in all in
noccnce, to our pitcher. l must draw the
curtain over what followed. They only
needed to meet that ball to send it from the
bat like bullet 1t was much as any
infielders life was worth to try to field it.
They batted and batted and we couldn't
get 'em out. The disgraceful sight was

of them hit high fly to Kelly for the first
out. Kel. had been itching for the chance
all through the dreadful inning. He caught
the fly with one hand, substituted dead
ball he had in his pocket for the rabbit,
with the other, and nobody was the wiser

MANY YOUNGSTERS
IN FEDERAL GAMES

Sharing honors with the mighty Martin
Sheridan, Olympic champion. with Seitz
Shepard and Cartmell in the federal games
in Convention Hall on February % will be
more than two score very young debutante
athletes, for most of whom it will be their
first appearance before an audience. There
will be larger number of these little fell
lows in competition than in any games ever
held in the south. They will be in the two
midget relay races, some of them less than
four feet six inches in height, others as
high as five feet; they will be in the grade
school relay championship and in the two
novice events, the JOyards dash and 60
yards run.
1t was at the federal games three years
ago that the grade school boys got their
first chance to compete "A open athletic
events. Seven of them started that year in
a 50-yard dash. A year ago for the first
time in the District there a graded
school relay race in track and field games.
So much has the interest among these
youngsters increased that there are already
four schools In the championship relay
race, the Webster, present champions; the
Hubbard, the Wallach and the Morgan.
Several of the boys who ran on grade
school teams last year will~represent the
high schools this year.
Midget races always arouse big public in
terest. In the federal games this year there
will be two classes one for the very small
DOSS Oh IOuT 1cel SIX lLcHtS height anu
der, and the other for boys between that
height and five feet. Central, Western and
Eastern high schools, the Washington
School for Boys, the Woodbury. Forest
School and the boys department of the
Y. NJ C. A. will have teams In one or both
classes.
The entries for the so yards and the 600
yards novice races, are already as large as
last year. Inasmuch as points scored in the
novice events count the same as those
scored in other events for the Pennsylvania
alumni trophy, every school will have some
boys in both.
The trials for the team which will represent
the boys department of the Y. NJ G. A. In the
junior championship relay were held last
night. The team will be composed of Capt.
Sharp, A. Marks, H. L. Tanner and D. A.
Wetzell, with w. H. Downs and F. l.. Hill

Pitcher Pittenger Peevish.

CARLISLE. Pa. February 15.-Charles
r. Pittenger of the Phillies was angry when
he read yesterday that he had asked for an
increase in salary.
Pittenger says that notwithstanding what
Mr.. Shettsline alleged, that he, Pittenger,
was given two months leave with pay last
year. he did not receive pay for the two
months during last season. which he spent
away from the club on account of sickness.
He further said that he did not wish
raise of salary for this year for his good
work of past seasons.
On the contrary. he said he knows he i'd
very poor work last year, owing to his con-
tinued illness. In his letter to President
Shettslne he said he asked for salary
which would be a few hundred less than he
received in 1905. Pittenger's contract, which
was sent to him few days ago, called for
a much smaller salary than he had for
merly received, and he insists that he will
not sign at those figures. Pittenger says
that he is not worrying about staying in
Carlisle all summer. even though the Tri-
State has gone under protection.
