LONG HIT CAUSE OF STRIKE
BeIIeville League Threatened With
Dissolution Because Freight Train
Carried Away Ball.

Belleyille (Ont) is confronted wits
a baseball situation that the heads q
the Clerks Junior league declare Il
more difficult of solution than that
which arose in the American league
when Ty Cobb smote a spectator in
New York.
All the members of teams in the
Belleville league have served notice
they will strike, just like the Tigers
did, if Henry Ebel plays in any more
games.
Ebel is the pinch hitter of the Mar.
ried Mems nine. The trouble arose in
Sundays game, when along toward the
end Ebel took a good healthy swat al
the sphere and 1t sailed over the heads
of the infeld and outfeld. A passing
freight train, with door of box car
carelessly left open, made clean pick
up of the ball and carried it far away
The game was called for two rea
sons. 1t was the only ball available
and it was not available after EbeIs
hit.

PASSING OF HUGH E. KE0UGH
SPY HEX" Occupied Unique Place in
Sport Letters-Was Initiated
by Many Writers.

We shall read no more "By HEX"
Hugh E. Keough, the Chicago sport
writer, who wrote under that nom de
plume, is dead.
Mr.. Keough's place in sport letters
was unique He founded a new school
of sporting comment. Many initiated
him. None approached him. He was
widely quoted. He was more widely
'pirated"
He was gifted gloriously. He knew
sport in all it's phases as few men
have known it. He knew the idiosyn-
cracies of sporting men, and for his
agile fancy they were an inexhaustible
theme. He keenly watched the entire
passing show of sport. He knew its
comedies, it's tragedies. And, as the
poet-philosopher of American sport, he
sang his songs and sounded his warn
ings, exposed the shams and exalted
the genuine, and always with inim-
liable drollery.
He was, as Watterson once said, the
'ever-welcome HEX" The sport page

GIRDLE SHOULD BE NARROW
Important Fact That the Woman of
Middle Age VIII Do Well
to Remember.

If the middle aged woman insists up
on wearing a girdle, regardless of the
length or width of her waist, she
should have that girdle very narrow
with long ends extending to the hem
Of her skirt. A certain well dressed
middle aged woman who looks much
slighter and taller than her true
measurements affects girdles of satin
or velvet ribbon of black or a deep
shade of color.
The belt portion Of the accessory
never is more than an inch broad and
goes about her waist, closing under
two long ends, which are drawn over
the belt, but not knotted or bowed.
And these ends are weighted invisibly,
for that middle aged woman knows
that to figures proportional similarly
to hers futtering ribbons and frivolous
little frillings belong not.

SMALL COATS TO BE WORN
FancifuI Little Garments In Many
Materials Are Feature of
the Season.

The most difficult part of the fitting
of an overdrapery is in keeping the
sides straight and slim in outline. The
slit skirt is now accomplished with
an over-effect.
There is every indication that the
short, fanciful little coat in silk Of one
kind or another is to be an important
item of the summer outfit this year.
The eton, the bolero and host Of
models more or less related to these
two old friends are already in evi-
dence, the less closely related coates
showing leaning toward abbreviated
mantle or dolman lines, in keeping
with the ubiquitous taffetas and their
bouillonees, ruching and quillings.
On the whole, these little wraps are
picturesque and piquant. Perhaps
some of them are trifie too odd, but
that depends a great deal upon the
woman who wears them.

A player who is popular with the
fans is often most unpopular with
his fellows. In fact, it is an excep-
ton when a star can hold the good
will of both the public and the team.
Iris Speaker is one of the exceptions.
There is no more popular player
on the Boston team, and there is no
one on the team who is liked more
by management and players than this
same Speaker. iris is one of the
most unassuming of men. Sometimes,
players say, Speakers modesty is
painful
For three years now iris has been
trying to snatch Ty Cobb's laurels.
For three years he has failed. But
this year he is trying even harder,
and right now he seems to have as
good a chance as anyone to sit in
flames throne at the close of the 1912
season.
He is hitting harder than ever, his
fielding has been one of the features

BRIMS OF ODD SHAPE
POPULARITY OF HATS FOR MID
SUMMER WEAR.
Unfamiliar Lines Mark the latest
Millinery Disqualification IN
Trimmings Is Also a Marked
Feature of the Season.

There are many large hats displayed
for midsummer wear, and nearly all OF
them show some popularity of brim,
either in upward lift or lamentations
or the manner of trimming. There
are sudden widenings or narrow1ngs
also, giving the hat unfamiliar lines
about the brim edge, but these shapes
are nevertheless we'll balanced and be-
coming about the face. AS a rule
srowns are medium in size and dome
shaped, and there Is departure from
this so infrequently that the brim may
be said to be the essential feature on
which to center attention.
Besides the oddly of brims, 1t Is
to be noted that the newest hats show
much elaboration in trimmings. Bands
of net or chiffon, frills OF lace, maline
folds, many flowers, velvet ribbons and
plumage, are all cleverly managed, so
that the composition of single hat
includes three or perhaps four ma
terials The art of the trimmer is
more evident in using this variety
than IN simply placing a tuft OF
plumes or a wreath of flowers on a
graceful shape Both simply trimmed
and deliberately made hats are at
tractive, but the latter are more in
teresting.

of several materials on one hat, one

Brussels net which extends in fold
an inch and half beyond the brim
edge. Just inside this fold are two
rows Of val, lace about two inches
wide. This is laid in narrow side
plaits, and one row oyerlaps the other
slightly. This inside row is finished
with a close set wreath of tiny June
roses. A standing spray of roses, or
bow of velvet ribbon could be used
with this brim treatment for the ad
dition of height with good effect, al
though the model had no trimming on
the crown.
