by PAUL HALE BRuskE.

The Tigers have a day of rest to
day, 30 far as any competition OF the
public variety is concerned, and all
OF the boys are putting in share OF
their spare time, figuring out how
many Tigerettes there will be in the
south next spring. working for their
Jobs.
The papers carry a daily list OF ad'
ditions to the Detroit roster and
there In at least one more list to come,
this being dated for Sept 2, on which
win be known the result Of the vari-
Gus drafts.
II Is plain to be seen that the local
management has been somewhat dis
satisfied with Its personnel on the
playing field this year. II Is already
carrying several players who will be
relied on 70 make debuts either this
fall or next spring. In addition, II has
purchased a modest but expensive
list OF high-priced minor-league stars,
and has recalled number OF promis-
ing men whom IL had farmed out In
the minor leagues.
During the last two weeks, Presi-
dent Navin has held several confer
ences with his scouts on the subject
OF players eligible to be drafted.
OF course, room will have to be
made for these men. The club will
soon be far above the limit or 80
men.
To create enough vacancies to take
care OF the mob the Tigers will he
carrying on their reserve list, waivers
have been asked on number Of the
present members OF the team. Ii Is
probable that the waivers will be
granted. Just who the players are
that will be placed on some minor
league roster for the remainder OF the
season, IL not known. Undoubtedly
the bunch win be drawn from the fol-
lowing: Catchers Casey and Wilson;
Pitchers Covington, Lively and Mitch
ell; Infislder Lathers, and possibly
Moriarty; outfelders Jones and
Schailer.
While the release OF two tried vet
Grams like Moriarty and Jones would
be q cause for general surprise, 1t is
by no means impossible. Both men
have had bad seasons with the Tigers
and both have played In major league
ball for about the average length OF
time. President Navin surprised all
the fans. as well as the members OF
the club by his action in dispensing
with the services of Matty Mcintyre
year ago. That he is planning on
injecting young talent into the Tiger
lineup next year, is generally admit
ted. The clubs action in the Bau-
man case is but another example OF
its campaign OF rejuvenation-

MARKING THE FALL COSTUME
Many New Ideas Are 20 Be Found
Among the Latest Effects
Designed.

Practically all the new coats are
lines. They are made up in pongee,
soft finished taffeta and rubberized
silk.
Among the novelty coats for fall are
those made of taffeta or silk serge
and lined with heavy cloth, the cloth
being used for the trimming.
Silks, and especially silk velvets,
are in the highest favor, and three
silk frocks are seen now where before
two were shirtwaists and suit skirts.
The large collar revers and deep
turn-back cuffs are much in evidence
in new jackets. Quite a number have
skirts trimmed to correspond with the
Jackets.
The grandfather frill is still in ia
vor. Formed of a triple frill of point
d'esprit net falling in cascade down
one side of the corsage, 1t makes a
pretty finish for almost any gown.
When sleeves are of the peasant
type, large folded back cuffs are usu-
ally employed as trimmings, with per-
haps a narrow undersleeve of some
sheer white material, net or all-over
embroidery.
Black or dark blue taffeta tailor
mades, trimmed with fringe, are one
of the inventions Of the year. Tafreta
is coming into more and more favor
and a strenuous vogue for 1t is un-
doubtedly ahead.

and the two heads were soon bpsily

While all this was happening up

The best-selling styles in children's
garments are those that are copied
from women's wear, says the Dry
goods Economist, 1t is surprising how
becoming these little coats are. For
example, the shawl collar and side
fastening, so popular with the grown
ups, are also meeting with great sue

Col. Bill Hamilton had gone to bed.
The Office force made some demur

ly Colonel Bill was somewhat an.
noyed at being disturbed; but as soon
as Abbott mentioned the name Of
Gormly he was instantly on the alert.

through the open door.

editor-in-chief of The Planet is at the

ADoRNMENT FOR THE BABY
Much Consideration Has Been Giwln
to Designs for the Small
Household Monarch.

Supray shirring is coming in again,
and very quaint it looks on the little
white bonnets for infants and their
sisters of two or three years. The
backs Of the bonnets are stifHened
and round and the side portions alno

One dainty little bonnet of this
style is bordered with band of white
fur, and a second has a narrower
band of mink and tiny dabs of the
mink over the ears.
Pink apple blossoms apepar on one
model, and cluster of round, pink,
unopened buds on another. A wreath
Is also a very pretty decoration, one
being just an applique of alternating
leaves and petals, the leaves being Of
mossgreen velvet and the petals Of
pink silk White chiffon makes some
of these bonnets and white bengaline
others. One combines the two mate
rails, the chiffon being shirred in
bands and used to trim the more
severe outlines of the bengaline.
For very new baby a long dress
has three-inch ruffle at the foot,
applied with cording. A bow of pale
blue ribbon, with streamers that
reach almost to the hem of the long
skirt, Is caught at the left side near
the shoulder

there is a dainty coat of accordion

turning hem, and a little cape made
Of white bengaline, embroidered.

Colonel Bill Hamilton Plays His Lone
Hand.

Colonel Bill Hamilton Plays His Lone
Hand.
Young Haldane's first duty was to
distribute manifestos to the newspa-
pers as far as his copies permitted.
Having discharged his errand, with
the one copy which he had reserved
for himself, he headed for home, hit
ting up tremendous pace as he
raced along the almost deserted
streets.
Before he had left to warn Gormly,
he had in a few hasty words given
his sister an inkling of what was
about to happen. He knew that she
would be awaiting the result of his
interview with an anxiety not to be
measured. In a short time, therefore,
he placed the confession in her
hands. With straining eyes and throb-
bling heart the girl devoured the type.
written pages.
Her feelings were a singular com.
pound of varying emotions. For one
thing, there was relief that 1t was no
worse; for another, there was ad-
miration at the holiness and courage
with which the man had grappled with
a desperate situation, the dexterity
and resource with which in perfect
honor and dignity he had extricated
himself from the dilemma In which
the opposition had sought to plunge
him, the magnificent audacity with
which he had faced the crisis and
dominated the interview; lastly, there
was keen, terrible pang of Jealousy
and bitterness toward that other WON.
an. 1t was this last emotion that was
self revealing.
Eleanor Haldane knew now that
she loved this man. She realized in
this unwilling Of her heart that prob
ably she had loved him all the time:
that the other feelings and emotions
which he had stirred in her heart and
she had sought to characterize by diff
ferent words were now blended into
passion as great as his own.
She sat quite silently, staring at
the paper, reading the lines over and
over again, thinking her thoughts, uu.
