When Mist Is Embroidered.
AS though fairy eedleworkers had been
at work tracing patterns on evening mist
that Is what one exquisite lace wrap
from Paris looks like. Examining more
closely. one finds an outer fail of pearl
tinted chiffon. heavily embroidered in self
tone. and hung over undercoat of white
valenciennes lace. The two fabrics arA
caught together around the edges OF the
wrap with a wide hem OF pearl gray satin.
Down the back OF the coat goes a panel
OF very open silver embroidery on gray
net. The effect of the embroidered chif-
for over the figured lace cannot be de-
scribed: but when one learns that this
lovely wrap comes from Paris. the fairy
embroidery and misty combination OF ma
terials are explained.
Fur Coats for Fortunate Folks.
The woman who owns handsome fur
wrap is, OF course, adequately coated for
any occas sion: for fine fur is sufficient ele-
gance in itself and is the one material
which may not be duplicated in appear
ance at less cost.
Sealskin this winter has been one OF thu
most favored furs for dressy wear. and
such coats are always finished in a lux
urious manner. with various dainty TRIM
mings of buttons, passementeries and the
like. and. of course. a sumptuous lining OF
satin brocade. A coat of broadtall. very
simply cut is slashed at the sides and
back. to make deep tabs. which fall back
at the least provocation to reveal the
handsome lining of pale rose brocade. The
pointed shape of these tabs at the bottom
gives dressy air to the coat also, and
the garment has a rich collar OF gray
chinchilla. matched by muff OF the same
fur.
The Partisan Pelisse of Velvet.
Velvet wraps are much in evidence nov

luxurious wraps are usually trimmed with

Billy Murray Deposed
AS Manager of Phillies
Unlike DOnlin Gets Job.

(Mrs. Donlin) starred, was backed by
Isman, and it is understood that Don
lin, in coming here, has received a
promise not only of big salary as
manager and player, but of a share of
the profits as well.
Donlin visited Philadelphia several
days ago, ostensibly to induce Charley
Doom of the Philadelphia club and
Howard CamnitZ, Deacon" Phil
lippe and Lefty Leifield of the Pitts
burg team to accept a vaudeville
agents offer to go into the theatrical
game. Donlin's real motive, however,
was to accept an invitation of the Phil
adelphia owners to discuss PROPOSE
ton as to his feeling in regard to
joining the Phillies. Liberal induce
ments were made, and Donlin agreed
to postpone his European trip and
join the Phillies Immediately, provided
his release could be obtained.
The directors of the Philadelphia
club Immediately started negotiations
with Manager McGraw of New York,
who was quite willing to make a
trade. To land Donlin the Phillies had
to give up Sherwood Magee, who is al
most as hard a hitter as Sir Mike, and
a pitcher. The slabman in the trade
is understood to be Earl Moore, once
of the Highlanders. Bill Foxen, a
southpaw, was first offered to New
York, but McGraw turned down the
offer. preferring right handler.
Manager Murray's dismissal was
confirmed by Secretary William J.
Snettsline, who last season was presi-
dent of the club. Shettsline, when
cornered by the scribes said that the
stockholders Of the Philadelphia clut
had not been pleased with the record
of the team this year, and had decided
to let Murray go and get in his place
a man who will keep the players or
the jump. 1.-THE stockholders of the
club" said Shettsline, expect Donlin
to be here Monday morning and take
full control
Donlin will have to apply to the Ma
tional Commission for reinstatement be-
fore he is eligible either to play with
or to manage the local team.
Magee, who is to join the Giants, has
been one of the most valuable hitsmiths
in the National League for five seasons
He is legitimate 300 whaler, and is
great fielder. The Phillies got him
from the Little Rock club of the South
ern League.
The news that Donlin was destined to
go to Philadelphia to succeed Murray
as manager surprised the local fans
Manager McGraw of the Giants has all
along asserted that the New York club
in justice to the other players, could
not meet Sir Mikes terms and prob
ably had pulled off good trade by
letting the Phillies have the great
hitter Magee is much better fielder
than DOnlin, and is a more valuable
man on the bases. With Murray, Ma
gee and O'Hara in the outer works, the
locals will have one of the greatest
suburban trios in the big league.

GAME SLAUGHTER IN NORTH.
Much of 1t for the Mere Love Of
KiIiing-The Menace to the Caribou.

In all the thousands of miles from Van
couver to the North Sea and from Edmon-
ton to Dawson the country is dotted with
hunters at intervals of from twenty to
one hundred miles apart. From this it
will be seen that the game has TO way of
escaping, as there is no stretch of more
than. hundred miles where the crack
of the gun is not heard. With nearly
every one it is a case of doing his level

Billy hurry, who has been handling
the Phillies for three seasons, was re-
quested to resign by 1sman, who has
apparently bought up the stock held
by Isreal Durham, and when Murray
refused to do so he was canned with
out ceremony. Murray has contract
which still has three years to run and
is stockholder in the local team to the
extent of $4,000. Billy sat on the
bench Saturday and directed the play
of the Phillies, but probably he won't
he allowed to have any say about the
management of the team hereafter.
Murray threatens to sue the Philadel-
phia club for violation of his contract,
but evidently Isman isn't afraid of
fighting Murray in the courts. Isman
does not deny that Murray has a con-
tract with the Philadelphia Exhibition
Co., which is the corporate title of the
local National League club, but says
that no contract is legal unless the con-
ditions are lived up to. Isman takes the
position that Murray's work has been
of such a character that it was impos-
sible to keep him as manager and that
the courts will back him up in firing a
man who did not give satisfaction.
The general impression locally is that
the politicians in control of the Phillies
have used the squeeze play on Murray
because he refused to sell his stock.
Fans are sorry to see Murray leave
for pastures unknown, but are delight
ed that the new owners have obtained
a wonderful player like Donlin. Isman
and the new manager of the Phillies
are old friends. The tour Of 1.-The Mer-

THE BASEBALL FAN

~ HERE'S a great chance for char
Letter study, playing with one of the
L big league teams On first thought,
a person who had not had any expert
ence would say that baseball fans,
East or West, North or South, were as
a general rule, all alike. BY this
mean to say that the average fan in
Chicago would follow just about the
average fan in Detroit or Boston, given
the same conditions. But such is not
the case. The baseball fan in the diff
ferent cities differs as much as the
slow, easy-going inhabitant of a hit
country differs from the hustling,
nervous native of the land where the
mercury is always well down in the
glass; In some cities, the fans will be
| fair-minded, cheering good plays re-
CARELESS of who makes them, and CIV
ing credit for victory where credit be-
longs. In another city, you will find
them just the opposite. They will not
applaud play by one of the visitors,
unless it be something entirely marvel
lous. When their team loses a game,
they ascribe it invariably to luck, never
to the superior work of the winners. In
with the home team, winning or losing,
and go out and cheer for them day af-
ter day, in the hope that some time
the worm will turn and victory rest on
their banners. Then again, in another
place, if the home boys do not lead the
league ard win almost every day,
there will not be more than a handful
go to watch them, and these few will
be there only to knock.
AS sample of the city where the
crowds can see nothing but the home
team I would cite Chicago. The Chi
cago fans will fight tooth and nail for
either the Cubs or Sox, and never think
of commencing the work Of their rivals.
When their team loses a game they will
call it hard luck, or blame the UNI
pire: in fact, I think Chicago is the
worst city on the circuit, from the UNI
pire's standpoint. When a game is
over they will follow a visiting player,
who has made star play or secured
a hit that has prevented a home VIC
tory, to his carriage and jeer and boot
him all the way. OF course I do not
say that every Chicago follower will do
this. for there are as many honest base
ball lovers there as anywhere, but I
refer to the class that the ball player is
most likely to come in contact with.
AS an example of a fan who wants
nothing but victory, the New Yorker
takes the palm. In Chicago, while
| they root hard for wins, they will not
desert the team if it happens to slump
but in New York, let either the Giants
or Highlanders hit the toboggan, and
watch the way the crowds fall off
With the people there it's case of vic
tory or, nothing.
Philadelphia has long been known as
"Slow Town." and the sobriquet holds
good as far as baseball is concerned
The people will turn out to watch the
games all right, but it takes some
thing mighty classy to get them ex-
cited. Unless pennant is depending

| three or four dozen unheard of piays.
they will sit there and cheer perfume
torliy. But once they get going, look
out. Then they are the widest crowd
that one would care to meet, and they
Will stop at nothing to get game
The fan then will take any kind of a
chance, and, 1 doubt not, would even
run out and try to prevent a. player
from fielding a ball, if it We're not for
the fear of the law. At that, even the
guardians of the law will join in the
feeling, as was evidenced by a well-re-
membered incident in 17-in-
ming game we played there a season
ago, when the winning of pennant
was very doubtful question with us.
In Boston, The City of Culture" as
it is called, the baseball followers live
up to their name. Nowhere does the
visiting player get the same show and
encouragement as in the Hub. 1t
would seem that the people there are
satisfied if they see good fast base
ball, whoever may win. The umpires
rarely come in for censure there, and
when they do, it is very mild, and you
corted from the field by the police
The man who makes a good play is
cheered OF the echo, whether or not
he wears a Boston uniform. Do not
| imagine that the Bostonians are not
real fans-they are; and they support
their team in great style. Why a
couple of years ago, when the team
was at the foot of the race, and made
the awful record of IA straight defeats,
there used to be four or five thousand
in attendance at every game. No other
city in the country would be able to
boast half that number under similar
circumstances The good spirit dis
played by the fans is the reason that
Boston is such popular place among
all the ball players.
The national capital is cosmopolitan in
every sense of the word. The local pride
that we find in all the other towns is to a
great degree lacking in Washington, ow-
ing to the fact that the population of the
city is made up of people coming from
such widely scattered places. Why, at a
game there you are likely to have just
as many people roofing for your team as
for the home nine. The people there have
acquired the habit of taking things easy,
and while they wish the Senators to win,
they do not take it to heart enough to
start any trouble If their hopes are not
realized.
The Cleveland baseballists are satisfied
at good exhibition of individual playing,
and do not set much store by teamwork
They have become so used to having the
chances of their teams blighted by acct
dent that they seem to have lost much
of their enthusiasm, and developed into
a mild manner of pessimists. who are not
surprised whatever happens.
At St. Louis the fans are a sort of a
combination Of the Chicago and New
York rooter. If their team is losing they
will wreak wordy vengeance on the visit
ors and, IL the losing habit become

In Detroit the folks are very loyal to
the home team and stick to it no matter
how things are going on. They appreci-
ate all the good work of their own play
ers but at the same time are willing to
applaud and give credit to the other fell
lows. ...--
OF course my experience deals only
with American League followers, but /
suppose that the adherents of the other
league exhibit the same characteristics
