The strong race being made by st.
Louis and Philadelphia is attributed
to the work of Bresnahan and Doom
in marked degree.
And here we have examples of the
vast difference between really great
catchers and the mere mechanical
workers. It takes more than good
throwing arm to make man valua-
BILE behind the bat.
Much of Alexander's success with
the Phillies undoubtedly has been due
to the influence of Doom behind the
bat, while it was Bresnahan's tactics
inculcated in the st. Louis pitching
staff that increased the effectiveness
Of the Cardinal mound men. For
three years now st. Louis has been
good run-getting organization, but it
was not until this season that the
pitchers were able to give the club
anything like an adequate defense.
Going back to the early days Of the
game, the old Boston bunch, winners
of four consecutive pennants, had
McVey behind the bat when it won
it's first flag, while Jim White, one of
the original "big four" was Boston's
mainstay behind the bat at the three
following seasons. Then White was
with Chicago in 1876, when that club
won the National League pennant, and
when he returned to Boston in 1887,
the Beaneaters added fifth flag to
their collection. That season, how
ever, White declined to catch Bond,
and Snyder was added to the staff.
Chicago had the great "Silver" Flint
behind the bat when it won three
pennants in a row in 1880, 1881 and
1882, and again in 1885 and 1885,
when it added two more trophies.

Our sketch presents the WORKING
apron in very desirable phase and
the material used in this case is blue
ana white percale. The front and sides
OF the apron are cut separately so thai
narrow goods could be used. and the
capacity Of the pocket is decidedly
strengthened through It's being put
into the seam. Checked bingham
Denim and crash would make the more
sturdy aprons which would be wanted
In this style, but the gayer cottons
white with floral figures, are very pref

Is useful detail, and a good model
for this is also shown with the pic
ture. The p is Of sheeting in loose
weave, and 1t is gathered In tape
which is removed for laundering.
Mop caps are always becoming t.
pretty faces, and when in correct fab
RIGS they seem to give proper finish
for working clothes. Besides, they
protect the hair from dust and kitch
en- doors and seem to indicate a pune
tilious neatness in all kitchen mat
tiers. Some charming house caps OF
Workaday sort are made of big ban
danna handkerchiefs, arranged so thai
two points will fall over the ears. Caps
for afternoon use are bewilderingly
pretty, little fooleries of muslin and
ribbon, which in many cases are worn
with tiny matching apron. The two
pretty things are for afternoon tea
use, and they are likewise donned fol
the clubs sewing spree.
The aprons for this dressy use run
to exceeding smallness. They are
mere wisps, covering only the front OF
the skirt and generally gathered over
ribbon waistband

Another No-Hit Game.

Hovlik, the former Sox pitcher, now
with Milwaukee, pitched the second
no-hit game of the American associa-
ton season when he shut out Louis
vile in the first game of a double
header without hit or a run. The big
fellow was in wonderful form, and
there was not the semblance of a hit
made off of him throughout the game.
He walked three men and famed six.
Only one man reached second base.

Skirt Widths.

Much has been heard regarding
fuller skirts for suits next season,
says the Dry Goods Economist The
few house that brought out a real
full skirt, however, did not meet with
success. The skirt now being made
by manufacturers is a happy medium
between a full skirt and the very
narrow one in vogue year ago. This
will no doubt be the popular width
for fall and winter. It is still made

Warwood Residents viii Not Blu,
Machines Until Top MIL Road

With the highways In frightful con-
dition, both from lack OF repairs and
the bad weather. the sale of automo-
biles this spring has been very small.
Especially in Warwood has the sale
OF machines been handicapped by the
bad roads. There are several resi-
dents OF that suburb who state that
Just as soon as the Top Mill road is
finished they will purchase machines.
Although work has been going on for
years on this piece OF roadway, Il is
still in an almost impossible condi.
ton
While West Virginia is one of the
most picturesque States in the Union,
IL is avoided by tourists for the rea-
son that the roads are so bad. II
West Virginia ever improves her high
ways, tourists from all over the
United States will place this State on
their itinerary.
Not only are the autoists handi
capped by the bad highways at this
time OF the year. but the farmers are
unable to drive TO the city. and as a
result. there is a notable falling OF
in farm products here.

Fifty students of the engineering
department of Northwestern UNIVERSE
~. accompanied by members OF the
faculty. visited the Rambler factory
at Kenosha, Wis, last Saturday and
learned how 90 per cent. OF the parts

The students arrived at the factory
before 3 o'clock in the morning. and
they remained until the whistle blew
for the noon hour. Every minute OF
their time was occupied in close ex-
animation and inspection OF the vari-
Gus departments that go To make up

While these students are not auto
mobile designers they have. because
OF the nature of their work. a good
knowledge of the basic principles OF
motor car construction. Their opin-
ion of the Rambler factory is summed
up in these four words: Complete
and scientifically accurate.
