BY EDWIN A. NYB.
rae LURE on FASHION.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
There may be prettier worlds than
this in which we live However that
may be, certainly the great artist has
dressed this one in such robes Of
beauty as to make it a constant joy.
Woman instinctively loves beauty.
and in her desire to be beautifully
clad she is carrying out her natural
longing for adornment
A woman who is sloven is an abomi-
nation in the sight Of gods and men.
To be beautiful 1t is not necessary to
be ultra fashionable or extravagant
Some of the modern fashions are hid
eously effective in their Disagreement
of natural beauty.
And it is a mistake to suppose that
men, for instance, are attracted by the
extreme display of modern styles. l
noted the other day in a fashionable
hotel the appearance OF young wom-
an who was very simply though very
neatly dressed, in quiet contrast with
the elaborate toilets of swell dressers.
And l noted approval in the eyes of
the men.
In personal appearance, as In other
things, excess is sin.
Fashion ruins its thousands and ex-
travagance it's tens of thousands.
Undue fondness for costly garments
on the part of the wife has sent many
a good man down the moral toboggan
slide The husband has compromised
himself by vainly trying to cater to the
fashionable caprices of wife or daugh
| tiers.
Benedict Arnold ruined himself and
nearly ruined his country for the sake
of the family wardrobe.
And since and before Arnold's day
other men have betrayed a trust from
a similar cause.
Fashion and desire for embellish
ment have ruined women victims a!
well.
The extreme devotee kills herself b!
conventionality.
And many a poor girl. noting how
the gracefully gowned are applauded
comes to believe that dress, instead o
character, is the supreme thing in SO
cial life.
She adopts the motto: Get beautiful
things. Get them honestly IL you car
but get them.
The great trouble is in excess. S
many women of a certain type seer
to consider that life is a sort Of dres
parade-for exhibition purposes.
Glorious is that woman who ha
learned to esteem the rich graces O
sweet womanhood above the tinsel Q
a Worth gown.
Wise is she who dresses neatly an
J as richly as she can well afford, bu
who cares more for the things of th
mind and heart than for the things G
the body.

STILL ARGUE MERITS
OF FAMOUS SPITBALl
Saliva Speciality Is so Per Cent
Less Popular Than
Last Season

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Arguments
for and against the merits of the spit
ball will probably never be eXtinguished
as long as the freak delivery Is in
vogue, and the cause is still alive for
debate. Clarke Griffith of the Cincin-
natl Reds recently became entangled
in an argument on the saliva speciality.
The Cincinnati manager, when in the
American league, was strong sup
porter of this style of pitching, but a
seasons experience In the National
league has altered his views consider
ably on the subject.
Griffith entertains the opinion that
the spitball is so per cent less popular
this year than last. While there have
been frequent rumors during recent
seasons that the moguls of the big
leagues would try to sweep the saliva
style" of pitching off the baseball map
by legislation, Griffith's belief is that
this sort of drastic action will be un-
necessary.
1.-THE spitball is dying a natural
DEATH" said the Reds leader, "and
within two years time it will be en-
tirely forgotten. All pitchers five years
ago were 'spitball crazy especially the
youngsters. The first thing they would
try to- master would be the saliva
Many promising subs ignored curves
and speedy straight balls altogether.
A few succeeded, but hundreds ruined
their arms and sunk into oblivion.
According to Grifith's idea the pitch
ing department in the National league
is, on the whole, far superior to the
twirling machinery in the American
and he added that it has always been
that way. He claims this state OF
affairs easily is accounted for. When
records show that fully 75 per cent OF
the twirlers in the American league are
disciples of the spitball, where, on the
other hand, saliva fingers are few ana
far between in the National.
The statistics of the present season,
according to Griff show that twirlers
in the American league as a rule goC
late starts, which the Reds manager
claims was directly due to the spitbal.
at is harder to get control over the
splitter than any other ball. empha-
sized the "Old Fox"
"I think there will be fewer splitter
artists next season than ever" added
Griffith. "The catchers are all out
against it and the infielders also dis
like it as it is a. preventative against
fast fielding.
Griffith pointed out another disadvan-
tage to the use of the splitter. He
says it prolongs games to the detrl-
ment of the sport. Batters spend more
time up at the plate trying to cope
with the splitter" than any other
brand of pitched balls. One will no no
tice this if a record is kept of the
foul balls. The "spitter" is big time
stealer, which alone is responsible for
the extraordinary length of games in
the American league this season.
Griffith, no doubt, has the correct line
of dope on the subject, and his state
ment that the use of the splitter" is
becoming less popular every day with
twirlers makes it appear that it is GER
tain to be forgotten few years hence.

RIFLE MATCHES
LOCAL CLUB SHOOTS AGAINST

Local Shots Augurs

The rifle sharks of the Los Angeles
Rifle and Revolver club shot their end
of the match against the Seattle Rifle
and Revolver association Sunday, but
up to the time of going to press the
Seattle end. of the story had not been
received. Spokane wired late Saturday
evening that they would be unable to
shoot, and Tacoma postponed their
match until September 26, leaving but
two clubs in the match.
Conditions in this match allowed
any number of men to shoot, the six
high men being picked for the team
and their scores being wired north. Ten
shots a man were fred at 200 800 and
500 yards.
For the local cup Umsted landed
first place with a total of 1873 and a
fine score of AZ at 500 yards and 46 at
800 yards, the latter being as high
as has been shot on this range since
the organization OF the club. The team
consisted of Umsted, Crossman,
Bathey, Hanson, Nichols and Andrews,
the total scored being TAT, twelve points
higher than the score put UP against
Tacoma on August 2, in which match
the local men won.

WeIIs.Faruo Now In Van

The Wells-Fargo nine defeated the
crack Palms team yesterday by 5-to-4
score. Fighting like demons for every
run, the winners earned their laurels
by the shortest of short heads. Tapia
sent a couple of thrills through the
spectators by two nice catches in the
left garden, while Riley of the, winners
starred at third. d. Smith welded the
timber in form, leaning against a triple
and a couple of singles out of four
times to the plate. Ike Peirce threw
Al ball for the winners, as did Saens
of the losers. The former curve artist
retired ten players on three strikes,
while the latter enticed eighteen with
his benders. Lopez, catcher for Palms,
was injured In the third inning when
D. Smith crashed into him sliding
home. Lopez sustained a slight concus-
sion of the brain and did not regain
consciousness until a late hour. 1t is
believed, however, that he will COM
pletely recover. The defeat of Palms
may be partially attributed to the re-
moval of Lopez. Here they are:

yesterdays games, save that Wells

which he welded the stick. This play

ger out of four trips to the volleying
station. Labaig pitched excellent ball,
while Reed, at second, made difficult
chances look like easy picking.
Abbot of the losers played an error

Bennett of the Directories batted with

Great HeaVens!

That the San Felice nine of Covina
is clearly in a class by itself, as shown
yesterday in the one-sided game with
the Pippins. The Covina boys won by
the score of 10 to 6. The game was a
mere slugging match from start to fin
ish in which the Pippins never had
look-in. Covina outbatted and out
fielded the losers, many runs being
scored on the errors of the Pippins
eight all told. Miller of San Felice was
retired. after the game had been prac-
tically won, and Ping Fairly was per-
mitted to exercise his arm on the
mound. "Bush" Thompson was the
batsman of the day, connecting with
two home runs, three-bagger and
several singles. The contest was ex-
tremely slow and degenerated into n
running match and batting bee. Muell-
er praised the conduct of the Covlna
fans and never a kick was registered
against the umpires. Mercy! What
have we here?
