n Owners Wear.

Few drivers of their own cars, unless
they go in very heavily for motoring as
a sport, wear the breeches of the chauffeur
when they are driving. If they prefer to
stick to ordinary trousers they have them
made somewhat looser than usual in order
to afford them perfect freedom of move
ment. The outer garments of rubber are
found to he so incapable of ventilation
that they have In a large degree lost their
popularity. For automobile coats the most
popular materials are chevlot, homespun
and whipcord. These are so heavily lined
that they serve even for very cold weather.
although a fur coat is naturally preferred
for such wear. These cloth coats are like
a very long Chesterfield, filling almost to
the ankle, are very loose and roomy, and
I'm order to give the chance to stretch are
often made with an inverted box plat
from the shoulder seam or from the waist.
The pockets are very large and capaclous
and arc covered with deep flaps.
The Imagination Of the tailor has free
sway I'm the matter Of characterization and
he may add buttons ard leather collars
and leather flaps to his hearts content.
A motor coat is always double breasted
In some cases there is a hood at the back
which falls loosely from below the cellar.
A lighter weight motor coat Is made i'm
raglan style and has the high Prusslan
collar that closes almost up to the chin.
This coat closes with a fly and has two
deep patch pockets on tho lower side of
the skirt. IT shows no buttons and its
usefulness is made secondary 10 it's looks.
II is very simple. The back shows a
single seam down the middle.

Jump your contract again next season.
Mr.. Chase, IL things don't go to suit your
peculiar ideas of how a base ball team
should be conducted. It's a fine thing to
have men of the Chase ability in the game
but the game derives no special strength
from men of the Chase disposition. On
the contrary, the effect OF such transactions
as have been made to lift the black list
from this young man is decidedly bad ior
hxse ball. II law Is to be enforced, 1t Is
S1ust as we'll to begin applying the princi-
pie in the case of conspicuous players like
Chase. Sparing the rod on him spells some
other good child. Yet the bars are let
down and Chase is let in without any PEN
atty or chsstisement for his defiant viola
ton Of every known base ball law. The
authorities have acted with as much aban-
don as il he had been actually essential
to the games future.

DRESS FOR MOTOR WEAR
Less Freakish Than in the Early Days
of the Auto.
SERVICE Is MORE IN POINT NOW
stress Laid an UistinEuishinE the
owner From the Hired Driver
Norfolk Jackets and Plated
Sack Coats.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-Thcre is not the
same demand today for the great goggles.
the high crowned caps and the other
freaks that once seemed an Indispensable
feature OF motor attire. Town motor
ing Of course calls for a few differences
from the ordinary wear Of city life and
in fashions in this case there
is chiefly thought Of the chauffeur. It is
for touring, even for short trips, that the
exclusive styles chiefly exist.
The principal concern when 1t comes to
dressing for touring lies in keeping the
owners appearance distinct from that Of
his chauffeur. The gentleman driver who
sits on the top Of his coach and tools It
along the road behind his four steeds
wants to look as much like a regular
c%oachman as possible. Nobody has yet
heard, however. Of a gentleman chauffeur
so enthusiastic as to want to look like
his driver.
Norfolk Jacket the Thing.
He keeps this difference In mind even
when he orders his coat for a tour that
may last a week or three hours. The
Norfolk jacket, the recognized sporting
coat the world over. is the most popular
garment among we'll dressed men, al
through there are others who prefer a
coat more distinctively for a motor only.
This is found in the sack coats, single
breasted with a folded pleat running over
the shoulder; they come also doublc
breasted with four buttons and are usually
made of corduroy. These coats have the
advantage OF being only FOR use In a
motor. while the Norfolk serves for hunt
ing, driving and every sort Of sport. TIT
fact that these sack coats with the mar
row pleats are exclusively for the use Of
motorists makes it again necessary to dis
tinguish between the man and the master
in dress. This point is emphasized in the
same way in all the coats. The professional
chauffeur wears his coat closed up to the
neck with the collar so high as 30 show
only a thin line of white above the top.
His master on the other hand, has his
coat, whether 1t be the Norfolk or the
motor sack, cut just as his coats are for
ordinary wear.
Town livery usually matches the color
Of the interior of the car, just as the livery
of a coachman does. The coat fastcns in
front with a fly, the high collar stands
stiffly about the neck and the only orna-
mentation of the coat is the braid which
runs up and dow the front. Sometimes
there is a trcfoil on the sleeve above the
cuff and it is often closed with frogs. Tn
short heavy overcoat of a town chauffeur is
made of the same cloth as his coat, has
a velvet collar and always closes will
heavy frogs. Usually there is n shaw
collar on this coat which Is edged will
Persian lamb, which also forms a cuff FOL
the sleeve.

who raised this howl about Murphy CIV
ing his men that $1,000, anyway? Whose
business is 1t what Murphy does with his
money? II he wants to throw 1t away
who cares? True. he has only made ABOUT
a million in the last three years. but even
at that ir he is reckless, enough as to want
to distribute $1,000 of this psltry sum
among the men who have made him rich
is there anyone so sordid and so selfish
as 70 say him nay? Gentlemen, ius time to
lay aside the cold demands of an ipscruti-
BILE law and lower the gates for a bit OF
sentiment. Think of the appreciation and
affection sewed up in that $4,000. But think
first of the ten thousand! Has any man
ever stopped to contemplate the amount OF
Mr.. Murphy's proposed gift? Some I'M
pertinent person with a mercenary instinct
may suggest that II Mr.. Murphy had
thought to make it 10000 or even $4,000, no
objection would ever have been raised.

Leading wrestlers OF the country recently
met at C~hicago-not all OF them. but many
and formed an alliance against taking
That is the best piece of news that has
come out in many a day relating to this
great sport. Wrestling went down into the
tomb for its three days OF death and was
only resurrected by dint of the magic
charm It inevitably holds for the sporting
fraternity. 1t Is a wise step just taken.
The leading wrestlers of the day are clean,
SQUARE men and they can, II they Will. rid
their profession of the fakirs. and II they
do they have established their game upon
firm ground. They are to be congratulated
for the steps taken in that direction.
Now, II the plea of Farmer Burns
for no betting can be enforced
there'n be little else to ask. for these W
reforms would of themselves do away with
the taking managers game.
The Boston management indicates a
Willingness TO let old Cy Young go. That
is not surprising, since the sale of Lou
Criger. but il would be a difficult thing
to prove that old Cy was ready for retire
ment. ST. Louis. which club has traded for
Criger, seems willing to buy Young. senti-
mentally nothing could be more desirable
than that this old battery be kept to-
gether, and doubtless the Browns would
benefit by such a transaction, too.
n really cannot be doubted that Messrs.
Isbel and Holland at Wichita and Mr..
Cooley al Topeka are In dead earnest about
entering fast leans, From what is going
on there is every reason TO believe that
both the Kansas teams will come into the
Western league strong contenders.
From the roster sent out from Denver 1t
does not yet appear that any OF those rad
i,al shAke-ups has occurred. The lineup
looks very much as It did when the last
season closed. OF course, there's time for
changes. and besides. the team was made
over only a year or so ago.

Furs Not Popular.

Fur coats are not popular with motorists,
because the fur picks up so much dust
that II is almost impossible to keep them
clean. Fur lined garments are regarded
as more satisfactory for that reason. They
are not as popular with some motorists
as the leather coats, which shed the dust
and can readily he washed with SOAP and
water. The Scandinavian feathers are os-
pcciaIly soft and pliable. and they can be
treated in the making Of garments with
almost as much freedom az cloth.
Just as there Is special iewelry for the
horse enthusiast or the golf player, so are
there pins. buttons and rings for the
motorlst with some appropriate design on
them. In waistcoats there is a variety OF
fashions that leaves the horsey waistcoat
away out OF sight. The most popular color
this year for touring has. been a vivid
red cloth waistcoat with a darker pattern

Trousers for n Chauffeur.


The trousers for a chauffeur arc a much
more complicated question and they involve
a principle. The man who considers him
self as Il coachman, although he happens
to drive an automobile instead of u car
rlage, will wear whatever livery his master
selects for him. If he is a mechanic, how
ever, and regards himself as better than a
mere driver, he will refuse to wear leggings
or anything of the kind. There are many
owners of cars who value the services of a
good workman so much more than the looks
Of their rig that they are willing to let
their chauffeur wear whatever he wants so
long as he drives well and keeps the ma
chine in good order. The smartest livery
for a chauffeur of a gasoline car who will
wear whatever his employer wants includes
loose breeches, made about like riding
breeches and worn with black leather leg
gings or puttees. The free born American
mechanic wears plain corduroy or whlpcord
trousers to match his coat. There is less
formality for the uniform OF n chauffeur
in a touring car. The ordinary livery, if
such informal dress can be called that. is
a Norfolk suit of khaki, tweed or whipcord,
made without a belt and with pockets
patched on. A long double breasted ulster
with a shawl collar faced with Persian
lamb is the usual overcoat. When the
chauffeur does also the work Of the mocha
nician it is usual 60 wear a leather coat.
They are very often picturesque, especially
when they are edged with fur. 1t is al
ways customary with chauffeurs to wear
black leather, colors being confined to the
owner Of the car. Then there are the fur
coats for the chauffeurs which do not
differ from those worn by the owners ex-
cept in price and quality.
