WORLD
OVERALL ALL THROUGH,
WRITES BILL LANCE.
BROWN OUTLAW

orval overall is done as a major
league pitcher. according to a letter
received yesterday by Ban Johnson
from bill" LANCE dated from the
coast.
Reports that Orvie would never be
seen in Cubs uniform again have
been numerous ever since the close of
the season. but there are fans who
have thought that the big fellow might
not have intended to convey that he
was out of major league ball when he
declared he was through with the West
Siders.
Lange. however. sings Overall's swan
song. for he declares in his screed to
the American league president that the
injury which the big twirler receivtd
in recent game in his pitching arm
put that already weak member COM
pletely out of business as far as fast
company was concerned.
Unless Three Fingered" Brown has
obtained permission to play ball on
the coast lie may find himself in a peck
of trouble when he reports to the Cubs
next spring. Players subject them
selves to a. fine under the rules Of or
ganized baseball for playing with
clubs other than their own out of the
regular season. Brown has further
complicated matters by playing in a
recent game or two on the coast with
and against players who are declared
to be on the ineligible list.
Every one, including Jake Stahl
himself, came pretty near forgetting
that the new manager of the Boston
Red Sox had little matter to attend
to before he is in good standing again
SO far as baseball is concerned.

FADS AND FASHIONS

New York. Dec. S.-The first pre-
monitory signs of approaching winter
make the subject of furs a seasonabie
topic. The fashionable shops on and
around Fifth Avenue exhibit most ex-
quisite selections of handsome i'm
ported models of which furs form a
component part OF fur coats there is
bewildering variety and with a few
exceptions they may be called conser-
vative and practical Fur garments.
ns6 de of every imaginable kind of fur,
are shown in great profusion and the
prices demanded for some of these gar
ments ganitures are almost incredi-
bly, high.
The coats in general follow lines
much like those with which women be-
came familiar last winter. though the
cut of the coat naturally depends 50
some extent upon. the use to which II
is to be put The fur motor coat shows
width enough in it's skirt to allow
comfortable sitting posture of the
wearer without falling away of the
coat from over the knees, but the
dressy fur coat is very likely to narrow
slightly toward the bottom instead OF
widening and it's fronts are frequent
~ cut ava yin more less pronounced
fashion.
The fastening of this dressy long
coat is still placed low on the left side
most frequently. and some soft of big
picturesque collar is the rule. but there
arc many exceptions to it.
Extravaganza in furs has grown by
leaps and bounds within the last if
teen years and each year the prices
demanded for really fine furs soar
higher. The reason is easily found in
the gradual determination of fur-bear-
ing animals throughout the world.
Seal has not the prestige it enjoyed
last winter, yet there are many hand
some long coats of French seal, the
genuine lbeing, no wtoo costly to
be worn except by the extravagent
few. Caracul is still favorite among
the less expensive coat furs and mole
skin is in high favor. an dbeing as
pliable as velvet or plush, affords the
furriers opportunity for the exhibition
of skilful Workmanship.

small furs and the coats and 1t is
rather exceptional to find a handsome
coat all in one kind of fur. certain
ermine evening coats and the rare

fur could add, being the most note
worthy exceptions.
! Moletkin is combined with seal, with
ermine, with the dyed fox of soft taupe
tone, with skunk, with white fox.
Black caracul is relieved by any and
all of the dark long haired furs, by
opossum, chinchiila and ermine. Seal
finds a lovely contrast in ermine, but
is trimmed with the long haired furs
too. Even the ermine coat sometimes
has a huge cofar of black fox or white
| fox. though it is most effective when
| used alone
Chinchilla is becoming rarer every
year and before long will probably be
beyond the means of any but the very
rich. Fine sables, silver fox, seal
ermine. breitschwanz and other furs
are all increasing in price as they be
come rarer. Each year the makers OF
fashion take up some one of the les:
expensive furs and make 1t a fad il
order that the average woman may FIND
in the modshness of a fur she can buy
some compensation for the. fact tina

the best of the furs are beyond her
means.
The most beautiful coats sen so far
this winter are the evening coats of
ermine and of these the importers have
brought over seome wonderful
examples. AS rule the yare in the

white used only as trimming, chiefly in
fringe arrangement. The fur is sup
pie and light to a surprising degree
and is often intricately handled Mag
nifcient laces, often metallic, are US
ed upon some of the ermine evening
coats, and daring things are done with
black velvet in connection with
ermine
Side by side with the long coat
fastening low at the side are coats
with collars on Dlrectoire lines and
otherwise adjusted high about the
throat. and some models cosey and
comfortable for very cold days open

the left shoulder extend into long
