DANGER OF A
BASEBALL WAR
EVAPORATES
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OWN
ERs WITHDRAW THEIR PETI-
TON, WHICH DEMANDED NEW
DRAFTING RULES AND PRICES.
Special to The journal


Chicago, Sept. danger of a base
ball war evaporated today when the
American Association owners, at a
meeting here, withdrew the petition
on August 1 demanding new drafting
rules and prices.
The commission having previously
refused to grant the demands, the ac-
ton today amounted to a complete
surrender on the part of the Aneri-
can Association. The petition asked
that the draft price be raised to $4,000
from $1,000 and that only one player
be taken from each club a year.
Today's happenings mean that the
standing Of the minor league will re-
main unchanged. The old agreement
will be renewed.
The agreement Of the Association
with the National commission expired
September s. But this time was ex-
tended until September 10.
AS soon as their demands were re-
fused, the American Association mag
mates called a meeting for today and
apparently they had fully agreed to
submit to the rule of the commission
even before they met. The minor mag
mates were unanimous in the opinion
that 1t would be the best to with
draw the petition.
Defeat of the American Association
in this fight is blamed on the failure
of Southern and Eastern league mag
mates to join the association in de-
manding a change Of their standing.

They both were sitting in the front

They were quarreling. / could

about ten feet from the edge of the
road in the thick of the pine woods to

The woman was pleading with the
man. She was saying that she wanted
her love back again, and she did NOT
want the man to cruel to her. The
man answered roughly.
AT one time I heard him say / am
tired of all this, I am going to end
this
Then I heard the woman say: How
are you going to end it"
THE man said something I could
not hear and then I heard him say:
I'll show you how I'm going to end it
He got out Of the machine and
walked across to the opposite side of
the road from where 1 was, and then.
after he had been there a minute, he
came back with something in his hand

VIEWPOINT

MOST Of the little bubbles which con-
Germ questions of taste are still con-
Quoted by the sex which has the bet
ter opportunity of reaching the ears Of
the majority. When any one or any
thing is worth denouncing the task is
rarely allotted to a woman. Whatever
may have been granted to feminine in
Aeuigence and capacity of Judgment,
the time has not come when it could be
fairly said that women are established
and recognized as a critical body.
There are few, If any. forms of public
amusement which are controlled by
feminine authority. Hardly any devel-
opments in the arts that entertain are
subject in the first instance to the ap-
prevail of the sex to whose taste they
are intended to appeal quite as much
as to that of man. But this is not to
say that questions of taste are decided
with thoughtless ungalantry by those
who seek to appeal to the world which
desires to be interested and amused.
On the contrary. we are frequently
told that books and plays are now in
creasingly written with view to ferni-
nine approval Pictures are painted in
the hope that they will be bought by
the husbands of the women they de-
light and even the more material re-
Quirements of the pleasure seekers are
catered for with the recollection that
''she. too, viii be there" when their ex-
cellence calls for admiration. This is,
Of course, hatterlng.
Being, on the whole, rather amiably
disposed than otherwise. women have
become accustomed to recognize such
considerations with perhaps greater
appreciation of the motive than the

ungracious if the sex for whom these
pleasures, even surprises. are prepared
were continually to call attention to
their errors and shortcomings from the
feminine point of view. A very little
reflection must show that the position
IS in some cases bound to create en-
barrassment. The old idea of some
thing for the lady in its modern de-
velopment remains in many ways rath-
er pathetic in wOmen's eyes. 1t is for
this reason no doubt that they prefer
to accept with a feeling of gratitude
what is being done for their amuse-
ment, pleasure and edifcation.
Possibly an unforeseen result Of this
attitude is now making itself felt We
are beginning to hear of the effects of

tainments of several kinds and not in
terms that suggest its wholly happy
outcome. 1t is now, however. that wo-
men are to be held up as rulers of
taste. Having played no active and
creative part in designing and making
general amusements. those qualities
which begin to displease are attributed
to the feminine section OF the public.
Woman is. among other things, to be
made the scapegoat where questions of
taste have become questionable through
masculine administration.

somehow the effect is wrong.
The drawing room of the past was a
room relegated to ghosts. for the dining
room was often used as the sitting
room as well. The vivid blue, green
and red reps were incased in holland
covers. Indeed, they were far less con-
spicuous than on high days and holt
days. when this most uncomfortable
room was in general use.
However dainty and delicate the
modern drawing room is. it is at least
habitable and comfortable. It is gen
orally a room of delicate harmonies
and pretty decorative things. We are
not nearly conscious enough of the
cheering and restfuI effect of pink. A

SIMPLICITY and space are the first
things to remember when furnish

might be extended even to the very
flowers which decorate the tables and
to the shades of the lamps. If there be
ornaments they had better be few and
good Everything ought to be arrang-
ed to give individuality to each piece

guilty of overcrow ding. and they bring
out their treasures and exhibit them
singly in order to accentuate that beau
ty which would be lost in juxtaposition
to other things of equal attractiveness.
A dining room may be oppressive If
its warmth Of decoration is overdone.
In many rooms of moderate size with

JEWELED
TRIMMINGS

WHEN very simple styles are IN
fashion. as they have been for
some months past and win be all
through the summer months,-it fol-
lows naturally that our gowns must be
decorated with very handsome and ar
tisTtic trimmings. 1t is interesting,
therefore, to note that importers who
have been noted for their exclusive
novelties are now showing some ex-
quisite bead trimmings. suitable either
for afternoon or evening gowns, as
well as lovely jeweled buttons and
other accessories which give a note OF
distinction even to a perfectly plain
costume.
The bead trimmings worked on wide
or narrow bands of net are in lovely
combinations OF color, especially In
the oriental effects, which are having q
great vogue in Paris just now. Some
Of the designs are carried out in gIis-
tening beads, while others are in white
china beads or duh wood beads. and
sometimes silk enbroiderfes are intro
duced into the pattern
GIrdles and hanging ornaments n
antique gold or oxidized silver form an
other interesting feature of trimmings,
and there are tassels, balls and acorns
to match for millinery and other pur-
poses where small hanging ornaments
are effective. Antique galloons can also
be bought by the yard, and there are
gold and silver laces Of every magma
BILE width at popular prices.
Handsome jsweled buttons set in oxi-
died silver are in great request this
season, especially in sapphire blue and
ruby red, the coronation colors, which
are very much in evidence. Real tor
toise shell buttons are extremely fash
ionable in Paris, and there are some
novelties in wood and pearl buttons
for tailor made costumes. Wooden
beads for girdles and trimmings are
offered in every imaginable color. and
metal and glass beads are also a spe-
cialty.
For frocks and blouses of thin fab
RIGS there are insertions of the new
fllet lace, with motifs of different
shapes and sizes to match. SO that
scheme OF decoration can be carried
out all in the same design. The fash
ionable wide braids for morning dresses
and plain tailor mades are also offered
in great variety in black and various
| colors.
