As the hats have grown simpler wraps

\ all departments of fashion the pen
dulum has unquestionably started on
its backward swing from extreme &c
centricity, and in the field of the sea-
sons millinery is this change for the
better distinctly marked Good style is
indeed, conspicuous in the majority of the
models of the moment, and the smarter
and more costly the bonnet the more
charming its lines. Especially for the
woman of middle age are the hats of this
winter, in their almost conservative size,
noticeably attractive. To be sure the
hats worn by young girls and many of
the would-be youthful still exhibit every
trait of the abnormal and the eccentric
to the point of the ridiculous but. as said
above, the pendulum is at last swinging
back toward a sane balance. No longer

pass the bonnets of any previous season.
Never was fur of so fine and costly a grade
utilized for trimming and the velvets,
brocades and laCes now employed in hat
manufacture have assuredly never been
more exquisite, if they have ever been
equalled. Velvet hats are more geuer-

TRIPLE PLAY is EXECUTED
Hyatt and Corriden Make First One
Ever Seen in Kansas City
Pulled Off Quickly.
Did you ever see a triple play?

Did you ever see triple play?
It's one hundred to one that you
haven't. Old timers will tell you that
they have seen the play a number OF
times, but after thinking they finally
remember it was something they had
read about.
The triple play engineered by Hyatt
and Corriden the other day was the
first ever witnessed by the writer, and

game in Kansas City for % years,
starting in at a knot hole at old
League park and winding up in the
grandstand at Association park, Dan
Shay says that he saw a pair of the
side retirers during his long career
on the diamond, but even Daniel can't
tell exactly when and where they were
pulled off. George Tebeau, who played
ball % years ago, says that he re-
members seeing one triple play years
ago. He doesn't remember the per.
petrators of the act. And so on down
the line, says a writer in the Kansas
City Star.

ball circles about once in every five
years. Two years ago Neal Ball OF
the Cleveland Club made a triple play
unassisted. Cleveland was playing
Boston, and Ball went back of second
base, nailed low liner, stepped on
second, and then caught the runner
coming from first and tagged him.
Harry O'Hagen, playing with Roches-
ter in the Eastern league, pulled of
the same kind of play in a game
against Buffalo about IL years ago.
O'Hagen formerly played with Kan
sas City.
The play engineered by Hyatt and
Corriden was pulled so quickly that
half of the crowd didn't know what
came off. With Fisher on first and
Robinson on second Orendorff hit a

that bore the two-base label. Ham"
stabbed with his gloved hand and
seeing that he had caught the ball,

sooner touched the initial bag than he

AS long as the organ continues it remains
