Waists for Theater.
from the st. Louis Repuhlil

FfoEn me st. Louis Republic
Smart-looking waists for the theater are
made from old-fashioned brocade yelled
with black net, both plain and spotted. I
saw recently q narrow stripe that was
effective. On every third stripe row of
small gold beads appeared. The neck OF
the lining was cut slightly round and
edged with three rows of gold soutache
set on rather close together. The net ran
up to the throat unlined. The sleeves
were lined with the brocade. It struck
me that passe Powered ribbon sashes
might be pressed into service again as
a foundation for one OF these charming
waists. and to pick out some of the de-
signs in gold thread was a hint that
could be followed with good results.

Putting Ball
On the Runners
Doing This Properly One OfThinss
Which Make Great Infielder.

Ability TO tag a runner is the one
point that marks the difference be-
tween a good and mediocre second
baseman. remnants have been lost In
the past just because the man at the
keystone station lacked the instructive
sense OF touching a base stealer at the
right time. Any league magnate will
tell you that as many games are lost
by the failure of a second baseman to
get" the runner as any other fielding
cause, or, to put the case stronger,
almost twice as many battles are lost
because Of this feature.
One case in point was the standing
of the Chicago White Sox last season.
Jackey Atz, the regular second base
man OF the team last year. was good,
fast man, but he is not a star on tag
ging base stealers. 1t has been figured
that his failure in this respect cost
Comiskey's team a number of hard
fought games, and Il is largely due to
this that the former worlds cham
pions finished so low in the pennant
race last year.
Take a great second baseman like
Larry Lajoie of Cleveland. Germany"
Schaefer of washington or Johnny
Evers OF the Chicago Cubs. Watch
any one of them when a runner starts
10 steal. Few men are able to get past
them, provided the throw from the
catcher comes anywhere near good.
They seem to take the throw and
touch the runner in one motion. Evers
and Lajoie probably are the peers in
this respect. The instinct has to be
born with a player.
Atz and many other second basemen
Of both leagues have diligently prac-
ticed tagging men, but many times
they are a second late where one of
the great figures at that position
would have the runner started back TO
the bench. Few fans realize how i'm
portant a thing II Is to get a man on
second during a close game. 1t means
that there is an even chance to score
on anything like a safe hit. That is
the reason why the second base is like
a bunker on a golf course or a dan
gerous turn in an automobile race
once past the obstacle means an
easier task ahead.
