Jabots or plisses are extremely wide
and long. In the majority Of cases they
extend to the waist line and over as far
as the shoulder. The shape is generally
broader at the top than at the bottom.
A frock Is hardly considered finished
without cluster of artificial flowers at
the waist or the shoulder to catch up a
founce on the skirt.

PREFER TEAM WORKERS
TO RECORD HOLDERS

A ball team Is not helped by players
who have in mind their individual rec
ords and overlook the welfare Of their
team. It Is because John McGraw dis
courages such tactics that his team has
been d success this season. The same
is true Of the Cubs and the Athletics.
Ball players to be valuable to a team
need not have remarkable records.
They need not be leaders, but If they
work for the best interests Of their
team they bring about desired results.
Unfortunately, the player who works
for his team does not always get the
credit he deserves, while the chap who
Is out to make record for himself fire.
Quently receives applause which he
should not be given.

) runner.
HE missed the runner alto
gether and was digging around
in the dust trying to catch him.
Cobb made Il slide that brought
him to his feet and without
hesitation sprinted for home.
Baker took another swing
where he supposed the runner
was before awaking to the stu
alton. Then he made a hurried
throw home, and Cobb fell away
from Ira Thomas and was safe"
In n recent game with Cleve-
land in Detroit he gave a Won
derful exhibition Of base running.
In the first inning he stole first
and second. In the eighth, with
two out and the bases empty,
he tied the score. He easily
beat a grounder to Olson, whose
throw sailed over Lajoie's head.
Cobb, approaching second when
Blanding secured the ball, saw
the pitcher throw to Ball and
set sail for third. Ball threw
wild, and Cobb tore for the plate,
sliding around Easterly, who
had the ball waiting for him.

istration requires the street railway
company to put down a heavier and

planning to do. The company will

who have complained that in a few
years these rails will have to be re-
placed with heavier rails.
