y easily explained. During the early
days. when new millinery is being
exhibited, nobodys mind is definitely
made up. for nobody knows exactly what
styles are going to be. Therefore the
chief requirement of early fall or
spring hat is smartness; becomingness
being a secondary consideration. Later
on, when fashions are fully established,
individual preferences and tastes may be
consulted and individual judgment exer-
cised- One then selects from the gar
deu Of styles that particular specimen
waich one deems most appropriate for
ones own personal type with the result
that the midseason hat Is usually both
chic and becoming.
November Starts the Fur Hat
Season.
Since horse show week fur hats have
been strenuously elbowing the earlier
models trimmed with plumes and
ajgrettes. Some Of the new hats combine
fur and feathers In an extreme of luxury
that almost takes the breath away; for
either one of these trimmings repre-
sents a substantial amount of expendi-
tire. The milliners, however. seem to
have taken the bit in their teeth, as far
adding insult to injury In the matter of
feathers heaped upon fur.
An exquisite hat, worn in one of the
boxes at the opening performance of the
New Theater earlier in the month, is
shown on today's page. This hat,
graceful cavalier shape of silver gray
moire silk. had around the crown a broad
band Of chinchilla fur and over the
roIled-up brim tumbled three splendid
willow plumes In pale blue. The cost
Of such a hat may be imagined when one

AUTHOR 0F TRAGEDY
 FORMER PHOENIX BOY
Porter Smith Who Killed His Fiance and Himself Once Lived Here.

On April 29 the dispatches carried the story of a double tragedy that oc- cured in Smith College in North ampton. Mass. an institution for the the education of young ladies. Porter Smith shot Helen Aver Marden, to whom he was engaged. then turned the weapon toward himself and committed suicide. Miss Warden died the ensuing night. It is supposed the deed was prompted by jealousy, the young lady having grown cold in her demeanor toward him. after their engagement.
 Local interest in the event lies in facts that were only recently learned and which are that the Smith family at one time lived in Phoenix. The head of the family and father of Por- ter, was James Smith who was a suf- ferer of tubercular trouble and who while here was engaged in the cattle business with the Gibsons finally dy- ing in Phoenix. after which event the family returned to its former home in Chicago. The young man, Porter, was a fine looking youth and at the time of his death was a partner in the firm of J. P. Smith & Son, shoe manufac- turers of Chicago.

TUCSON AND LOCAL
 NINE PLAY TODAY IT WILL BE A CRUCIAL GAME Excursion Train Will Bring the Root.
 CTS From Tucson.
IT WILL BE A CRUCIAL GAN

The first really important baseball game of the season will be played at Eastlake park this afternoon between the Tucson nine and the Salt River Valley team. Phoenix is now repre- scented by team of players that Ed Rudolph got together and from the two games that they have played thus far it would seem that they will be able to carry successfully the baseball standards for the valley.
 A special train vii arrive from Tucson about 11:30 this morning and it is rumored that this train will be crowded with rooters who are anxious to see just what sort of a game tn , Phoenix boys will put up. Of course they had slight inkling of the style of game the Phoenix men put up when the nine went to Tucson a few Sundays ago, but since then Rudolph's nine has beaten the Prescott nine by an easy margin and have had con- siderable practice beside. The quality of play at the game today should be very professional on both sides, as it is probable that the two hines repre- sent the finest aggregations of ball players in the territory
 Cuber will be in the box for Phoe- nix and probably Hatcher for Tucson Morris of course, will catch for the home nine and Woods for the visitors Spaulding. who is one of Rudolph's latest acquisitions, will be seen here for the first time holding down the sack at second. Warner, who is fast getting into shape, will be at short. Duhnson, who is showing up well and developing great speed in retrieving the ball. will be at third. Whitmer will hold down first and Stevenson, Rudolph and Sullivan will be in the outfield. '<tsff
 For Tucson, Balsz will be on first; Hudson. second; Riggs, third God frey. short; Sullinger., Reister and Stevens, in the field.
 The game will be called at D. m. with Magoffin as umpire.
 Next Sunday the Salt River Valley nine will go on an excursion to Prescott tc play their old friends, the Crals. All differences in regard ro the game of last Sunday. which was To have been played, but was cdllr.: off by the Pre9 tt mana ar ht-e tr..r feaied. The arrangement nov is for two games Sunday a2G one on Monday. The Santa Fe has mae the visit of John L.. SulliCa.. to Pres colt an occasion for an excursion so that those living in neighboring towns may see the gladiator and the ex- cursion was extended to Phoenix on condition that the ball games should be played. The Prescott nine mas lafge hopes of doing things to l;u- dolphs men because they have a new crack pitcher. He comes from Ne braska and is said to have a fine brand of twisters.
 But don't forget the game today. A number will take advantage of the low rates from Tempe and Mesa, and there is sure to be a good crowd of local fans. There hasn't been so much base ball talk on the streets for many moons.

TAG DAY PROJECT
 GROWING IN FAVOR
The Need of Sanitary Drinking Foun-
 tains Admits of No Argument.

Considerable interest is being taken in the tag day project originated by George Hageman for securing free sanitary drinking fountains for the public schools and for the city and county plazas. Next Friday and Sat urday will be given over very largely to that purpose by the school children generally, who, it is expected will en- ter with spirit into the sale. of the tags. The tags will sell for ten cents each and will be given out Friday morning by Mrs. Mary A. Thompson at her home, No. $50 North Second avenue, and by Vernon Wright at Hageman plumbing shop on First street.
 It will cost the children nothing but little effort and a fine line of prizes is offered as an inducement to the best sellers, the prizes ranging from a $50 Racycle on exhibition at Gris- wolds to a number of S1 cash prizes. The purpose is a decidedly good one and the incentive to the youngsters ought ought to- be sufficieSt to encourage
 The plan as heretofore announced is merely to collect enough money by the sale of ten cent tags, to secure the erection of a sanitary fountain at each of the schools and on the plazas. The fountains will be furnished by MT Hageman at cost and set up by him free of charge. The need of the foun- tains here more almost than any where else in the world will be admit ted on account of the warm climate the great consumption of water and the possible tubercular infection where

MURPHY oUTWITS BERRY.
Drafts Star Player Instead of Buying
Him as Expected

Los Angeles. Nov 2.--It took Char
lie Murphy. owner Of the Cubs. to cut
Henry Berrys wisdom teeth properly.
The rotund president of the Cubs
practically did Berry out of backstop
Orendorff this year.
In the early spring Berry received
long letter from Murphy, telling him
that he (Murphy) would be glad to
hear of any promising players the
manager of the Angels might have.
He intimated that he might buy the
best on the market and thereby help
Berry to avoid the inevitable draft.
Berry answered that Orendorff was
about the best looking proposition he
had. but Murphy Immediately replied
that he was too high priced at !, the
figures mentioned. Imagine Berry's
wrath when he found that Murphy
had drafted his star catcher.
Cleveland pulled the same kind Of
a deal on Los Angeles last year
when the Blues secured Easterly.
Berry now swears he is through with
the big league magnates.
