and below par, in many ways. the ex-
pcrience which the Giants had drawn by
fighting through a worlds series failed
TO show any results.
In place of starting steady and pt
normal speed. the New York club played
far below last octobcr's form. and either
dropped. kicked, or fumbled every
chance away and fell behind where
they should have rushed into the lead

The Roundup Again.
Massing the general statistics and the
dope into a more compact cluster. the
series has displayed the following angles
of interest this far along:
New York has shown the edge IN
pitching-and the shade In batting. But
in neither case was the edge overly
thick.
Boston has shown far better form in
general infeld play, with more consist
ency in her outfield work. although Jack
Murray has held his own with any OF
the Red Sox array.
And by the big margin Of this defen-
sive play Boston is now in front by
three games to one. For all FIVE battles
have been close enough to give the best
fielding a better chance to win.
A rickety defense always means dis
astcr in any tight conflict where the
verdict sways In the balance. Beyond
the pitching and the work OF Herzog.
Murray. and Devore. the next Giant
in order Is Harry Mccormick. who with
three chances to drive home runs has
come though without a break. Any
athlete who can hit .667 in world series
pinches, where the strain Is heavily
banked. must be a fairly handy guy
with the war club and in possession Of
fairly stout heart.

Virginia discouraged.

There lie no donial of the fact that the
outlook at Virginia Is far from encour-
aging. Coaches and students alike are
wondering what is the matter with the
team. Hampden- Sidney played better
game Saturday than was expected, and
the Charlottesville team goes In against
South Carolina today with a Disguised
lot of players and coaches, hoping for
the best. but not overconfident.

NEW YORK. Oct. H.-with the
series standing three and one in favor
OF the Red Sox, the Giants will have to
take decided brace In every depart
ment OF the game IL they entertain the
slightest hopes of annexing the cham
pionship title.
II was thought before the series that
McGraw would spring so much inside
baseball that the Red Sox players
would be all at sea. The fans have
been on the lookout. and Manager Jake
Stahl has watched McGraw like a hawk
In every game. but the New York man
ager has played nothing but straight
away ball.
Giants Conservative on Bases.
1t is believed that the Giants would
run wild on the bases, but even with Joe
Wood. who gives a base runner a long
lead of first. in the box. they failed
to do any wonderful base stealing
During the National League season.
with one-run lead, the Giants ran and
ran wildly. With a two-run lead In
the first game of the series at the Polo
Grounds they did not attempt anything
on Cady.
Had the Little General resorted TO
sacrificing with none out. when there
was runner on first, the Giants in all

leading position in the race for the
championship OF the world. In New
York. with a man on first and Sec
ond, McGraw allowed Doyle to hit it
out, and Larry popped up an infield
fly. The first game In New York could
have been tied UP In the ninth inning
had McGraw signaled Fletcher to
squeeze Herzog in. but again he flashed
the straight hit signal.
Probably the greatest mistake OF the
series made by McGraw was his failure
to send left-handed hitter In for
Fletcher last Tuesday. when the Giants
were one run behind. and had men on
second and third. Fletcher had struck
out twice. and his third trip to the bat
resulted in Meyers being forced at sec
ond. Becker should have been sent in
for Fletcher, for Beals Is a good fast
ball hitter.
Would Pitch Bedient Again.
1t must be admitted that the Giants
are not playing their best article of
ball. They seem to be in a slump. Such
men as Larry Doyle. Fred Merkle. and
Chief Meyers have done practically
nothing in this series. Had these men
come through as they should have, II
would be different story. The failure
OF the Giants star hitters IS due in the
most part to the clever twirling of
Wood and Hugh Bedient, but the slump
on the defense Is from overanxiety.

E And now" said daddy, Il think I shall have to tell you a shadow
story.
Once upon n time there a a little boy named Johnny Jones, and Johnny
had a shadow. Johnuys shadow bothered him a good deal
when Johnny ven to school his shadow would walk in front of him. and
to keep from teadng on his shadow.
"Oh, dear Johnny cied at last I just wish that old shadow would go Oft

"An right, Johnny Jones o along I'm going off to see a bit Oft the world
by myself. I'm tired tagging after a slow boy like you
And Johnny Jones went to school that morning without his shadow. He
was late Just the same, and when the teacher stood him up in the corner he
When he sat down he looked so smm that the teacher noticed that al
though the sun Shone full IN Johnnys back, there was no shadow skipping in
front of him. and the teacher exclaimed:
"Oh. my; oh. dear! She thought something must be wrong with her eyes
when she could not see the shadow which every little boy ought ito have walk
ing across thu schooroom foorw with the sun at his back.
And the teacher called up one II the other children and asked If he could
see Johnny Jones shadow that day. and the child said &c, and all the other
children said II o indeed, for Johnny Jones had 10 shadow.
Then the teacher SEN Johnny Jones home with a tote saying that she
couldn't have such Il child in her class. There must be something seriously
wrong with n boy that had no shadow. ~
When Johnny sot home and his mother read the note she sent right off
for the doctor
And Johnny Jones wshed-oh, my how he wished!-that his shadow
would con home.
And 1t did, although he couldn't be gu about it for a week. for he ws
kept in bed that long
THE shadow ws al glad to be back, too, for 1t had not had a very good~

LIGHT SUMMER GOWNS
MOSQUITO NETTING AND ROSES,
ACCORDING TO ONE WRITER.
Manufacturers Evidently Are Looking
Forward to a Hot Season
Gaudy Colors viii Be the
InVarisbie Rule.

] hope 1t is not going to be as bad
this summer as the new lingerie gowns
indicate. Nothing but mosquito net
ting with punches of roses, as far as
one sees now, writes Emma JacQuelin,
in the Kansas City Star.
Maybe it's a hopeful sign, for nature
plays a we'll known trick on the manu-
facturers each year by turning the eli
mate the opposite way from what was
expected.
Now, these ~nettings, would have
served admirably last year from June
/ to September 10, for that especial
sun that rules us certainly had spots
on 1t, II that is the real reaso of heat.
Any fabric was the white mans bur
den on those days.
For that season the manufacturers
announced velvet with touches of fur!
Well, the only living things that wore
a touch of fur last summer were the
animals who were not able to shave.
Working, therefore, by the doctrine
of opposites, the coming season may
be cool because of the abundant mos
quito netting prepared. | think we
would all be malicious enough to be
happy If the manufacturers lost money
on this venture.
What is this new netting like? Quite
coarse, and quite attractive, and heav-
lily loaded with dubious. f~ull-grown
roses put on by machine in O coarse
white thread.
No colors have sc far been used I'M
less on some exclusive fabric kept
away from the ordinary eye.
These roses are arranged so that
they come on the lower part OF the
skirt; their placement on the bodice
Is left to inclination. Scrim is anoth-
or thin and cool fabric that has been
borrowed from tho curtain counter.
Often 1t has deep borders Of open
roses, usually pink, with green leaves;
If there Is q knot Of light blue ribbon,
SO much the better. Much of this
scrim sells for twenty-five cents a yard
and has a border at each edge; 1t can
be built into admirable draperies fer
wolfe or taffeta slips.
Blouses of it are already attracting
attention. When the machine border
is not used there is q cross stitch

dull pinks, blues and lavender.

HOUSEKEEPING pONT's.

Don't put off the cleaning OF boxes
and drawers until warm days come,
when being out of doors is such a
pleasure. Much of the work can be
done on rainy days except, of course,
the airing of clothing.
House cleaning now ought to be
nothing more than an extra cleaning
and sweeping day. The rugs can be
taken out, laid on the ground and
cleaned. Never hang q heavy rug on
the line, as it breiks and ruins them.
Rugs should not be shaken, either, as
the threads are easily broken and the
fringe. If any, torn off.
Don't forget to plan the spring so
that some Of each day may be spent
enjoying the lovely weather. If house
keepers took more recreation their
work would be better, and much hap
pier, accomplished.
Don't forget that it Is much better
to keep we'll and happy than to have
the reputation of being the best
housekeeper In town, valuable as that
may be to you.
Don't forget to plan out your vege-
table garden on paper, order the seeds
and have everything ready for the
busy time when gardens must be
made.
Lettuce may be grown for the table
at least two weeks ahead of the open
ground sowing, by preparing a box
set into the ground and covered with
thin cheese cloth. through which the
rain can penetrate. The cloth pro-
tects the tender plants at night and
they grow like weeds when the sun
warns them.
Don't allow your reserve shelf for
hospitality to get low, as unexpected
company will find you u~nprepared.
Don't neglect to wear a close veil
when out OIL a windy day. Dust Is a
great menac to health, and many mi
crObes lodge on grains Of dust.
Don't try to prepare too elaborate
a meal for company, Simple food we'll
served is most pleasing. A roasted
hostess for first curse Is too often
seen at many tables.
