For street wear of course there are innumerable types of black shoes and boots. but the tan boot is immensely popular this winter and while it un- doubtedly makes the foot look larger under dark frock than black boot does, it has certain air of smartness, is comfortable and is kept in good condition more easily than black boot. The modish tan boot and the modish black boot as we'll for street and country wear is laced, cut extra high and has buckled strap at top; but some women prefer a buttoned boot and this. too, is cut extra high, out of deference, doubtless, to the somewhat exaggerated shortness ol the trotting skirts.

One of the greatest conveniences in the sewing room is series of shelves about eight inches apart. Between the shelves partitions are fitted dividing the spade into pigeonholes of different sizes, where are kept the rolls of pieces used in mending and sewing One glance shows just where the wish ed for roll is located without the ne- cessity of emptying bags or boxes, with the accompanying litter.
 The tops and bottoms of old cigar boxes used for partitions furnish pro- lection for the woolen pieces against moths. If no room in the house is devoted entirely to sewing, the shelves may be fitted into closet or storeroom and may be easily built by an amateur | carpenter.

FASHIONS DICTATES
From Gold and Silver Laces to Modish Foot
 Wear.

The prevalence of gold and silver laces and embroideries among the handsomest imported costumes and coats this season has made these mod els more perishable than they would have been otherwise; for though it is said that gold and silver thread war ranted not to tarnish may now be bought it is certain that vast ma jority of the handsome gold and sil- yer laces and embroideries do tarnish lamentably and many a superb frock fresh in all other respects, is spoiled by the condition of the metallic trim ming.
 Of course, old silver and gold are modish. but there is difference be- tween what is meant by this old, implying uniform ldullness and mel lowness, and the uneven and beautiful results of serious furnishing. Where the metal is an applied trimming it is always possible to remove it and freshen the frock by putting new trimming in it's place. but metallic em broideries worked upon the materia itself are a poor investment for thu woman who must economize.

Chicago Experts Tell of the
Auto Contest at Briarcliff.
Secretary Beecroft Gives Data
on the Big Road Event.
ITALIAN NOT FIRST
The Decision Of the Race Off.
cials Was Given Too Hastily.
Adherence of Nineteen Minutes
at the Start Disregarded.

Chicago. Aprf1 29.-Additional light
| was thrown on the recent Briarcliff
cup race in New York by the return
to Chicago Of David Beecroft. secretary
OF the technical board of the American
Automobile association. who saw the
running OF the big road race in his Of
ncial capacity. The information
brought by Beecroft shows that, fgur-
ing on an international team race basis,
America defeated All-Europe; also that
nasty decision on the part of the
race oHcials gave a foreign car a high
er position than it won.
According to Secretary Beecroft,
both the Simplex and the Leland
Stearns beat out the Bianchi. which
was given fifth place by the judges
While 1t is doubtful If the officials will
reverse this finding, it is said the east
ern critics generally place the finish
as follows: Strang-Isotta, Codrino-
Fiat, Vaughan-Stearns, Lytle-Apper-
son, Seymour-S Simplex. Leland-Stearns
and Sartori-Bianchi.
1t seems the Bianchi was first to
start and the Simplex twentieth
which made a difference of 10 minutes
between them, anyway. When the
Bfanchi had finished its eighth lap the
crowd closed in on the road, but de-
through to the tape, completing the
race and beating the Bianchi Il min
utes in time.
Leland was about in the same predic-
ament. He was fifth away and this
made him four minutes back of the
Bianchi. He came through the crowd
also and the timers caught him one
minute better than the Bianchi, which,
the critics say, should be seventh in
stead OF fifth, which means much in
figuring the team dope
Allowing for seven f1nishers, America
gets third. fourth. fifth and sixth to
first, second and seventh for the ItaI-
ians. Figuring points the way a team
race usually is decided, America has
ten points to its credit, while Europe
has ten only.
Beecroft also brought information re-
garding the fate Of the other cars,
eight of which had finished their sew
enth circuit and were on their last lap
when the race was stopped. Poole and
Harding both in Isottas, were running
eighth and ninth at this time, and in
the following order were Oldfield in the
Stearns, Hillard in the Shawmut.
Bergdoll in the Benz, Bloch in the
Renault, Roberts in the Thomas and
Bernin in the second Renault.
sMichener in a Lozier, Robertson in a
Panhard and Watson 'ina "a Simplex
made six laps; Campbell In the Allen
Kingston and Mulford in the second
Lozier made four laps, while Murphy
in the Maja and Parker in a Fiat went

IN BATTING AND FIELDING.
Detroit Considered Best in American
and the Pirates I'm the National.

and the Pirates in the National.
Cincinnati, April ga baseball
form card-showing in figures just
how the big league teams should bat
and field for the seasons rather
odd and original dope for eager fans.
While baseball is a game Of surprises
and uncertainties, the records made
in 1907 have some bearing on the
chances Of 1908, and the form card is
therefore worth studying.
To approximate correctness, form
card of players must not be an aver
aged equation Of the total playing list,
but must be averaged up to meet con-
ditions of actual play. For instance,
the average batting power Of a club
Is not the subdivided totals of the
twenty or more men, but the net bat
ting strength of the regular perform
ers, plus one catcher, plus one pitch
er.
For example, if three pitchers bat
.24O, 200 and 100, the team using
them has a batting strength of .180
among it's pitchers; if the same team
has two catchers, one hitting $50, the
other .19e, the catchers' batting pow
er is .220.
The team, therefore, puts into play
an average Of batting strength equal
to the net average Of the seven regu-
lars, plus one pitcher hitting .1S0 and
one catcher hitting 200. The sub
ioined form card is, therefore, made
up on this pattern.
These averages make the card read
about as follows for the sixteen big
league teams

CROKER'S HORSES IN FORM.
Three Fast Ones to Represent Him at
Epsom With Lyme to Ride.

Dublin, Ireland. April 29.-Rich-
ard Croker has strong hopes Of
adding this year the "one thousand
guineas' at Newmarket and ."The
Cakes at EPSON to his previous vic
tories on the British turf.
The mare Rhodora. which was seen
to advantage as a 2-year-old. is said
to have come through the winter in
good shape, and, bar accident, Mr..
Croker thinks she will be in the first
flight for the two classics.
Last years derby winner, Orby,
also has come on surprisingly and
has quite recovered from the injury
which defeated him for the Atlantic
stakes last year. He will reappear
at the Epson meeting, where Mr..
Croker also will be represented by
the 2-year-old Alabama, an untried
half sister OF the derby winner, in
which he has great hopes. The Yale
blue will thus be carried at EPSON
by three first class racers, all the
progeny Of the same famous mare,
Rhoda B.
Mr.. Croker has secured first claim
on Lucien Lyme for the racing sea-
son. Lyme has already been over to
ireland stables and tried Rhodora to
his satisfaction.

FEAR ONLY THE GIANTS.
Chicago Cubs Declare They Disregard
All Other Teams.

New York, April 29.-In the Ma
tional league many thousands of dol
lars have been put out by at least
seven of the clubs for material to
strengthen their teams, SO that they
can give the Chicago Cubs a real hard
fight. The Cubs, therefore, must bear
the brunt of battle this year. OF
course fewer teams are going to be
successful against Chicago this year
than the fans in the various cities be-
lieve. But Chicago's experts and the
management of the Cubs admit that
the only team they fear this year is
the Giants.
From time to time reports have
been waited east telling how the
Giants were not considered factors in
the National league race this year.
Now, however, we have it right from
Frank Chance that the Cubs will
bring home the bacon again this sea-
son, but that it is going to be a tooth
and nail scrap all the way down the
line, with the Giants as the real con-
tenders. Aside from Chicago and
New York, Philadelphia looks pretty
strong.
