USEFUL SHOE CHEST.

II Makes For Neatness In the Ar
rangement of Bedroom.
Nothing makes a room look more
untidy than various boots and shoes
standing about in the corners or under
the dressing table or chairs. Some
times, it is true, they are tucked away
under the bed, but that. although out
of sight, is still far from an ideal rest
ing place. A boot box or chest is
much the best for keeping them in
and if made like the illustration is
quite an artistic addition to the room.
1t is an excellent imitation of a
beaten copper or brass chest. To make

WILD OVER LAST HALF OF 9TI

What's a little matter like a steady
downpour of. rain when Hans Wagner is
batting the ball all over the lot, stealing
bases galore and picking up every ball
that comes within half a mile of him, or
seventh inning with enough Of a lead
against them to win half dozen games
and then almost bat out victory?
Nothing, absolutely nothing, to n we'll
developed Washington base ball fan when
he knows that rain makes the Stars cleo
trio score board work better than ever.
And how those fans did throng 18th
street yesterday afternoon. They were
there In droves long before the game
began and by the time Byrne, the first
man up for Pittsburg, laid down the bunt
that played havoc with Summers the UNI
brellas were so thick they looked like
solid mass of black mushrooms.
Forget the Rain.
A few OF the spectators huddled up
under an awning on the east side of 18th
street at first, but when the game got to
going good they forgot all about the rain
and sailed forth to get a closer view of
the score board.
Every little electric bulb on the board
giistened with rain drops. The black sur
face was made blacker by the water, SO
that the lights stood out more clearly
than on bright day-consequently pre-
ever.
In the seventh inning, with Pittsburs
far in the lead and looking like a certain
winner, few of the Detroit fans began to
weary Of the taunts of the Pirate ad-
herents and started to wander away.
Then Jim Delehanty came to the bat for
Detroit.
"Oh! you Delehanty,' yelled typical
bleacherite. This Is the lucky seventh.
Line her out
And Delehanty obeyed. If he could have
heard the cheers Of the Neutrality-suspicious. he
would have smiled. Then came Moriartty,
T. Jones and D. and Ty Cobb, with their
great batting rally.
Fans Reconsider.
The Detroit fans didn't go away-they
stayed where they were Their hopes were
dimmed in the first half of the ninth,
when Pittsburg put two more runs across
the plate. but they woke up again in De-
troit's half Of the final session and nearly
went wild over another batting rally by
the Tigers.
We'll we got our moneys worth, any
how" said a man who had bet on De-
troit, as he walked away.
YES" replied his companion. and
watching that score board is more excit-
ing than watching game When you see
game you have chance to anticipate
the next move, but when you stand out
here and watch that blamed board you
never know what Is going to happen until
1t comes off.
Now. I've been betting on this series
and betting on each separate game. l get
down to The Star Office half an hour be-
fore game time every day. and l rise to
remark that Iva had more different kinds
Of nervous prtstration waiting for the

board than I ever had at a dozen ball
games put together. Great thing, that
