A graceful semi-dressy coat of broad
tail with white fox is shown. This coat
is suitable for afternoon wear over dainty
bridge and tea frocks of light wool ma
terial or the soft pretty permo combina-
ton of wool with mohair, on which
chiffon tunics are used; and will also
serve admirably as an evening wrap for
theater and restaurant wear when the
delicate cape of light satin is impossible.
The coat Is however. not intended for
walking street use during daylight
hours and with its loose. wrap-like lines
and delicate trimming of white fox would
be in bad taste for morning wear over
a short tailored wool skirt.
The fur coat intended for street wear
should depend for its distinction on the
richness of its pelt and the smartness
of it's cut, no "dressy' touches of orna-
mentation being permitted. Coats OF
this sort are usually semi-fitting, with

CARLISLE SCHOOL RUNNER

Carlisle school runner, beat Jimmie

nina ran 10 miles in the unheard
of indoor time of 81 minutes and
~ seconds, and the way he did it
set the crowd wild.
The scene as Tewanima cut
down Lees lead by repeated
sprints was remarkable Lawyers,
merchants and business men stood
shoulder to shoulder and cheered
the game little fellow on.
The Indian ran sane race and
won. During the first five miles
Lee repeated the performance that
beat him In the 10 mile champion
ship last fall. He ran like a demon
and those who tried to stick with
him were killed off in hurry. At
five miles Lee had a lap, lacking 80
yards, on the Carlisle lad.
Pop Warner, Carlisle coach,
knew Lee was moving too fast and
did not worry up to the halfway
mark. Here he passed Tewanima
the word and the dusky runner re-
sponded with a sprint that carried
him past half dozen runners. At
ter that he never let up. Tireless
and merciless he squirmed through
the big field.
At first Lee matched sprint for
sprint, but Tewanima doubled his
spurts in speed and length. "He's
gaining! Come on you, Lewis"
they shrieked. The further he went
the stronger the Indian seemed. At
seven miles he sprinted for 200
yards. That did the business. Lees
cork was pulled. In another half
mile Tewanima was at Lees heels

the man Tewanima had to beat, SO

SCALER OFFERS
CREEL MATCH

Kid scaler has a grudge against
Fred Creel, and as result is
anxious to pit Creel against Ed
Cuff, Scaler's trainer. When Creel
held his boxing bouts at the Nov
city theater it was announced that
Creel would appear in the ring. He
failed to do so on account of the
inability of Pete Moe to put in an
appearance.
Scaler sent word up at the time
that If Creel really wanted to box,
Cuff would go on with him, in
spite of the fact that Creel out
weighed Cuff 15 pounds or more.
Creel did not take up the chal-
lenge, and Scaler now comes back
with the statement that he has
$50 or 500 to wager that Cuff can
win the referees decision in four
rounds with Creel.

Jimmie Reilly, one of the best
of the old time boxers, and a
scrapper who has met the fastest
of the lightweights in the country,
is in Spokane visiting with friends,
having arrived in the city from
Butte. Reilly has given up the
fighting game, as he has had about
enough of it to last most men. He
fought two 10 round draws with
Young Corbett for the champion
ship in Denver and at Colma in the
early days had one 1902 round
scrap. His last fight was at Sac
ramento, where he met Young
Peter Jackson in a 10 round draw.
