VwHREE hats of excellent design are
shown for those who are wearing
mourning. It will be noticed that
the shapes are small or moderate in
size, that the designs are simple but
the workmanship intricate and beau
tiful. These characteristics are what
the wearer should look for when pur-
chasing mourning millinery.
The first hat, a small round turban
with rolling brin, is made of tiny
folds Of Grape laid IN parallel rows on
circles about them or four inches in
diameter. These are applied to the
crown and brim which have pre-
viously been covered with Grape laid
on plain. The wire frame is covered
and lined with silk and the hat is
finished with wired bow Of taffeta.
A rolled border Of Grape sometimes
binds the edges of such bows and
makes a very handsome finish for the
ornament.
Fig. 2 shows a moderately large fiat
brimmed hat in which the underbrim
is faced with chiffon and the upper

HOW PLANK GOT HIS START
Simply Closed His Eyes and Cut Loose
Afterwards Studied the Game
and Pitchers.
BY EDWARD S. PLANK.

They all say I got my start the day
of the battle of Gettysburg, but they
eXaggerate somewhat. | was born in
Gettysburg in 1875, and that gave the
boys a chance to say things. l ad-
nit the 1875 without trying to get
away and scalp half a dozen years off
my age as some of them do.
At any rate I think am rather a
freak as a baseball player because /
seldom have heard of any case any
thing like my own.
AS told you was born in Gettys-
burg and l played some baseball
around there in an amateur way, and
without giving the game much
thought
| started to college about the time
most of the other fellows are get
ting enough. I was twenty-five when l
was began pitching for the Gettys-
burg college team, and I was big and
strong and fast and wild and inexpe-
rienced and everything else that goes
to make up college pitcher. I sim
ply shut my eyes and cut loose and
most of those who didn't strike out
got bases on balls, and I have suspect
ed since that lot of them struck out
just to escape from standing up there
at the bat
Seriously I think the real reason for
my start was that was older, strong
er and better developed than the av-
erage college man. That made me
stand out among them and it attract
ed the attention of professional clubs
/ had not thought of baseball as a
profession at all until offered a job,
and I joined the Athletics in May,
1901, after school closed, knowing
about as much about major league
ball as I know about who will make
a three base hit in the morning game
next Decoration day. Suddenly I saw
that there was more to it than
throwing as hard as possible and
curving them. l saw would
have to do some thinking and I began
to study the game. Queerly enough

more. I worked and studied hard at
the game, watched the other pitchers.

pitch with much less exertion and
strain and still get results. If I had
gone on the way started would
have been out of 1t in two seasons.

alton Sufficient to Mar the
Result.

When lace and beading are to be
sewed to thin materials, such as mus
lin dresses or underwear of any kind,
it must be carefully and thoroughly
done to produce good results. Lace
edging nearly always has a stout
thread in the selvedge which serves
admirably as a gathering thread. Pull
this thread and stroke the gathers to
make them even. Roll the edge of the
material and, holding the lace and
edge together with the thumb and fore
finger of the lett hand, with the lace
nearest you, overcast the two together
with firm even stitches When sewed
to a straight edge insertion can be
sewed in exactly the same manner, but
to let insertion in, to form a design.
first haste the material on the right
hide to form the desired design, and
hem it down on both edges. Cut the
material from underneath the inser-
ton, leaving a narrow strip on each
side of the insertion Crease this
strip back from the insertion toward
the material and turn as for hem.
Overland this, taking stitches close TO
the line of the hemming.

Healthy Girls.

1t is not longer fashionable with the
fair sex to fefgn delicacy, nor are the
girls of the coming generation actual
ed by an insane desire to appear frag-
ile and genteel, at the expense of
health. The scores of buxom, bright
eyed young ladies one will meet in any
of our public thoroughfares any after
noon is ample evidence of the truth of
the assertion, says Woman's Life. No
longer do the fair ones seem wan and
pale to look upon, nor is their style of
locomotion suggestive of effort; but,
on the contrary, nearly all seem strong
and 1.-THE Of limb, and with cheeks suf-
fused with the ruddy glow of health.
Doctors generally agree that there is
far less sickness ameng the sex than
had formerly been the case, and this
could be attributed solely to the

tumbled to fifth place In the next
race, the Mackmen qualified as the
American leagues representative in

by the New York Giants, and were

not stand the strain, have been ST.
fenced by their sustained steadiness
at all stages of the campaign. Most
of the veterans are still in line.
Coombs, Bender, Plank and Morgan
are considered the big four of the
Athletic arti1erists, but none but
Mack knows who will be his slab
men in the worlds championship
series. It is possible that Krause
may be specially prepared fos these
engagements.

CINCINNATI SECURES A STAR
Dave AltIzer, Who Has Contributed

National league secured CT, while the
American league got only 4S.
The Brooklyn club of the National

FOOTBALL IN FOUR HALVES
intercollegiate Committee Divides
Time of Play Into Four Periods
of Fifteen Minutes.

After long cogitatfon, the intercol-
legiate football rules committee has
announced the changes which the
game viii undergo this autumn The
time of play is divided into four
periods of Is minutes duration, in
stead of the traditional two halves of
35 minutes each. The usual intermis-
sion of Is minutes is maintained be-
tween the second and third period:
but an intermission of three minutes
only is allowed between the first and
second and the third and fourth
periods. At the beginning of the sec
ond and fourth periods the teams
change goals, but the down, the rela-
tive spot of the down, possession OF
the ball and distance to be gained re-
main as they were.
Another radical change eliminates
the flying tackle The player must
have at least one foot on the ground
when tackling an opponent A player
is only qualified to receive a forward
pass who is at least one yard back of
his own scrimmage line, or occupies
the position on the end of said line,
No man may make forward pass, or
kick the ball, unless he is five yards
back Of his scrimmage line. Inter
locked interference is forbidden. and
1t is also forbidden for any man on
the side having possession of the ball
to push or pull the man running with
the ball. There are other less start
ling changes, all tending, 1t is as
sumed, to make the game less danger
