LOUD UNIFORMS PASSING
FROM MODERN BALL FIELD
Gay Color Display Of Yesterday Has
Disappeared and Plain Hues
Now Rule.

Color is passing from the baseball
field.
To-day there is little left TO resemble
the uniforms of yesterday. White at
home and gray abroad are soon to be
the color schemes of the biz league
clubs.
The sporting goods houses who fur
nish uniforms annually are still cata-
loguing the gay colors in their sam
pie books, but orders for them are
rare-rarer this year than ever be-
fore,
The love Of color, which is more
or less barbarian, has passed into
baseball history. In 1865 when the
men who had fought in the civil war
were returning home 10 begin the
work Of reconstruction, a small fac
tory in New England began To manu-
facture baseballs. Previously they
had been made Of strips of rubber
shoes worn with old stocking yarn
The rule requiring uniforms for
teams was adopted in 1882. The stock
ings worn by the players we're:
Detroit-Old gold.
Worcester-Brown.
Cleveland-Navy blue.
Chicago-White.
BOston-Rcd.
Troy-Green.
Providenee-Light blue.
BufalO-Glay
The floods of color come in the
ranks OF the amateurs Youthful am
billions are partly realized in wearing
uniforms Of oriental shades, they
please the youthful eye and add lofti-
ness to positions on the teams thai

FIELDER JONES Is OUT
OF THE GAME FOR GOOD
Former Manager OF Chicago White
Sox Declines the Offer Of
Owner Comiskey.

The final refusal of Fielder Jones
TO harken to the hattering offer OF
President Charles Comiskey of the
Chicago American league club dispels
The last ray OF hope that the great
field general will see fit to change his
plans. When Comiskey met Jones in
Portland, Ore. and offered to allow
Jones to write his own contract the
former White SoX player simply said:

NUDE AND THE LEWO'
SNAPSHOT SERMON DELIVERED
BY REV. G. L. MORRILL,.
Minneapolis Minister Throws Upon
Canvas Pictures That He Had
Caught on Nicollet Avenue; the
Exhibit Caused Many Expressions
of Surprise in His Congregation;
Visions of Bewildering Hosiery.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 27.-There
was much feminine perturbation Sat
urday when the Rev. c. l.. Morrill, got
out his camera and snapped mum
erous stylishly gowneu women on dress
parade on Nicollet avenue, Minneapo
lis classy promenade.
There were expressions of eXcitabil
| ity, by no means subdued, among the
women present when Mr.. Morrill, in
a theatre Sunday morning threw up
on screen the results of his photo
graphy on the avenue.
There were EXPLANATIONS of a diff
ferent character from the few men in
the audience when the Rev. Mr.. Nor
rill began his exposition of the sights
to be seen free of charge on any fine
day, and there was a larger mascu-
line gathering upon Nicollet avenue
this afternoon than has been of rec
ord for some time.
Visions of Bewildering Hosiery.
The Rev. Mr. Morrill's lecture wa,
entitled "The Lewd and Nude" and
his illustrations as applied locally were
intended to have bearing upon his
subject matter. Literally speaking, the
pictures We're not in keeping with the
titled of his sermon, but a number
of the photographs skirted interest
ingly close.
Mr.. Morrill, took about twenty five
pictures and he showed them all up
on the screen. They depicted some
Minneapolis maids and matrons attired
in low necked gowns in public, while
others were shown with garb of cling
ing tendency in the extreme. Visions
of bewildering hosiery incasing delight
full ankles with now and then per-
haps more Illuminating glimpse met
the startled gaze of the audience.
Mr.. Morrill's remarks accompanying
his illustrations at this particular point
were candid. To the persons concerned
they seemed even ungallant.
Compares Ancients With Moderns.
Several nude paintings, which the
speaker explained were those of com
mon sights in ancient times, were
thrown upon the screen. He compared
these with present day women, who,
he asserted, seem to attire themselves
in such a manner as to attract atten-
tion and display their own figures to
advantage.
In this connection he made an APP
peal to young girls, declaring many
paid too close attention to dress, or
lack of it,
