The Latest Models In

Smaller Hats

herself TO the extinction of comfort and

Small Hats Next Winter
Very small hats, to be sure, are still

we shall see once more the vogue of the
small hat. One of the most recently

of very fine lawn inset with lace The
trimming is a combination OF lace and
flowers with loops OF ribbon. 1t is one
OF the most charming models shown

Question Will Bother
Stanley KetcheI

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Training
quarters have been prepared for stan
ley Ketchel. and when he arrives here
the latter part of this week from Cali
fornia. he will start work at once in
taking of weight for his 10 round bout
with Sam Langford in September
There may be a serious hitch IN the
arrangements because of the matter OF
weight. LaugfOrd says that he viii
weigh about 15S pounds at o'clock.
Ketchel now weighs 1S5 pounds. and
as he intends to weigh at least 170
when he fights Jack Johnson in
October. it is not believed that he will
want to go below that weight for
Langford, as he would have TO rebuild
quickly for the Johnson fight.
The Fairmont athletic club insists
that there will be no interference in It's
efforts to produce the fight here. The
club is protected by supreme court in
junction. which restrains the police
from entering the building.

The two armies tonight are less than

General Bliss and his army and the
strength Of his command the plan
which he intends to follow to capture
Boston is apparently revealed for the
first time. This is to annihilate NGen-

that end with comparatively clear
road to Boston. But for the fact that

AMERICANS TO SUPPLY
PART OF CHINESE LOAN
Settlement of Railroad Dispute
Arranged in Peking

PEKING, Aug. 17.-American partici-
patton in the Hankow-Sze Chuen rail-
road loan was definitely settled at the
offices of the foreign board today by
Henry P. Fletcher, the American
charge d'affaires, and Liam Tun Yen
president of the board. The loan is
to be increased from SGT, 500, 900 to
$50, 900, 900, and of this latter amount
American bankers are to get quar-
ter, the other three quarters going to
France, Germany and Great Britain.
German interests and Americans are
material for both the SEE Chuen and
the Canton lines and the branches;
they will appoint subordinate engi-
neers and they will have also one-half
of all future loans of the SEE Chuen
railroad and its branches, with the
corresponding advantages.
The details of this settlement will
be arranged after the arrival here the
end of this week by Willard d.
Straight, the representative of the
American financiers interested, where
upon the protest lodged by Fletcher
against the completion of the loan with
British, French and German interests
alone will be Withdrawn and an edict
issued authorizing the signature of the
undertaking.
The settlement reached today pre-
vents actual American investment in
the abandoned Hankow-Canton line,
but nevertheless, 1t is the opinion here
that American capital has been placed
on an equality with other capital in
China.

Zeider Goes
To COmiSkey
OF White SOx
Long Finally Acknowledges That
Crack Third BaSenan Is
Sold to Chicago

RoIlie eZider, the crack third base
man of the Seals, mainstay of the San
Francisco team this season, whose
brilliant playing has won many games,
will depart at the end of the season
for Chicago to join the White Sox.
Danny Long produced a telegram
yesterday in which he disclosed the
deal whereby Zeider goes to the Sox.
However, it is probable that the deal
was made some time ago, when it was
reported that Long had let Zeider
go, but at the time Long denied that
he had closed the deal with Comiskey.
The following telegram was received
yesterday from Charles Comiskey:
Accept your proposition for Zeider.
Have forwarded check Will turn over
two players next spring"
Comiskey wanted Zeider righ. away,
but Long declined to let him go until
the end of the season here, and
Comiskey acquiesced. The price which
Comiskey pays for Zeider is $500,
which is a record price for a minor
league player. New York paid Min
neapolis $1,000 for Pitcher Rube
Marquarhardt, which is the highest
price ever paid for minor Lacquer
The price for Zeider ranks second.
Comiskey purchased Zeider last
season from Long, and after the
spring training season was over the
Sox manager had an abundance of ma
terial and he turned Zeider back to
Long with an unconditional release.
The departure of Zeider will be a sad
blow to the fans here as he is one of
the most popular players on the coast
as we'll as being one of the best His
work this season with the Seals has
kept them in the lead.
The attendance at Freeman's mark
yesterday was probably the largest
Tuesday afternoon crowd that has ever
been at the Oakland park The bleach
ers were filled. Big crowds can be
expected all week.
Maggart, the outfielder that Oakland
secured from Springfield, will leave to
join the Commuters Friday.
McGreevy was given roasting by
the fans on several occasions. The
boys seemed to be brimful of enthus
siasm and when the umpire gave sew
eral close decisions against the Seals
they roasted him. However, the indi-
Gator man probably was right, as his
verdicts were rendered after very close
plays.
Cooney hoped in the air in the third
inning and stabbed line drive of
Berry's, which was as sensational q
catch as has been pulled off in some
time. Lewis was on first, and might
have scored had the ball got bv
Cooney.
