OFFER OF 100000 FOR
THE HARVESTER REFUSED

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE report
that an offer of 100000 by an agent of
the Russian government for The Har-
vester POI, was promptly refused by
his owner, c. X G. Billings, was VERT
fed through horsemen who had au-
thentic information on the subject
1t was learned that the offer, instead
Of being $4,000 and then doubled up,
was straight 100000. which was re-
fused with a positive declination to put
price on the great stallion.
When the Billings trotters were in
Russia last summer in charge of Doe
Tanner group Of Russian horsemeu
offered Mr. Billings $4,000 rubles. or
over $4,000. for The Harvester. but il
was as promptly declined as the offer
here, and, according to local horse
m&u who knows these prospective
buyers were the ones who tried to Sc
cure the famous stallion through their
government as second effort
II Nas also learned today that having
oespaired OF securing The HarvcStcr.

There is no need of me telling
what Bailey can do. Atlanta fans
know how good he is. Callahan
should be one Of the greatest out
felders and hitters in the game. He
was hard luck victim last season,
but I'll bet he is there this year.
Clark Griffith Likes Long.
In Long I have a corl1ing good
man. Griffith thinks heap Of this
bird, and will probably make a bid
to get him back next fall.
Castro believes that Nixon will
prove a winner.
Why, Billy, you won't need any
other outhelders when Nixon gets
on the job" says Castro. IF you
have any others out there he'll run

Well, if Nixon Is half that fast he
ought to win a berth.
Sisson was a wonder-in the South
Atlantic league, and l will give him
a chance to show his brand.
On paper the Crackers of 1918

that he joined the Chicago club as
pitcher, but he remained in the
Windy City only part of a season.
and the following year became a
member of the Baltimore club, then
managed by McGraw.
Archer is at present classed
among the "holdouts," for he has
made it known that unless Charley
Murphy gives him an increase that
would bring his salary up to that
of the best paid backstops in the
league he will devote his time to
other things than baseball next sea
son. But it is more than probable
that Jimmy will change his mind
now that Murphy can better afford
to part with his services. The sign
ing of Bresnahan will no doubt in
fluence Archer in his determination
not to sign.
Archer is hailed by experts the
country over as a backstop without
a peer. He has been with the
Cubs since 1909 and has. steadily
improved year by year. The next
few seasons should see him in his
prime.
Archer a Wonderful Backstop.
Archer is a wonderful backstop.
He squats behind the bat on his
toes and throws to the bases with

Jimmy has all sorts of speed,
and is a corking good hitter be
sides.
Archer is % years old and his
home at present is in Toronto. Rog-
er IS his senior by four years, hav-
ing been born in 1880, but both are
still young enough to put in many
more years of usefulness on the
diamond.
Each should be capable of catch
ing IS games throughout next sea-
son, and that will mean that the
cubs will have first class service
behind the bat all the season
around.

FASHIONS AND FADS

The prettiest evening petticoats are
Of white crepe de chine, lace trim
med and dotted with chiffon buds.
Flexibility is more than ever a
feature Of the fashionable corset. The
finer the corset, the fewer the bones.
The newest spring suits Of char
With very large designs. Even mar
row tafetas have Bulgarian designs.
The newset spring suits Of char
meuse have ostrich feather trimming
for Instance. blue feathers on a taupe
suit
some Of the new silk petticoats
have protection rufiies Of accordion
pleatings exactly like the ruilies above
them
Bands Of shirred white net over
scarlet silk are a pretty decoration
for scarlet and white striped silk
frock
Printed silk eponge is the great
est novelty Il will even he made
into separate jackets for plain toned
skirts
Mannish skirts are back again,
usually made Of striped wash silk and
trimmed with buttons, piping or hand
embroidery
Blouse coats are much seen among
the new spring suits, the fullness OF
the coat front being drawn into a
belt
Flat collars will probably be most
worn when the spring fairly opens,
and the prettiest Of them will have
shoulder points
A new sports coat is made Of
vicuna cloth with very bright colored
stripes. like the blazers which came
out last summer
Borders printed in Bulgarian colors
on crepes and ratlne grounds are one
Of the great novelties for spring and
summer.
One Of the new materials for spring
sporting coats Is black and white
checked linen in a rough weave, some
thing like eponge.
Brassieres for spring are made Of
: finer. softer materials than any yet;
hand embroidered
big bow OF black satin or velvet
with long streamers is fastened di-
rectly between the shoulders OF some
charming gowns.
Ever so many Of the new blouses
are OF lace and net combined with
chiffon, the latter being often em-
broidered in Persian colorings.
Apron draperies and half Russian
shaped tunics bordered with small
rococo roses appear as a pretty and
fascinating mode for the young girls
toilettes.
Necklaces Of beads made Of crush
ed aowers-rOses. violets, lilies and
so on-are actually becoming arti-
cles Of commerce. When they arc
warm they give forth the fragrance
OF the flower.
Most OF the summer wraps have
sleeves cut in one with tho body of
the garment Such wraps are usually
collariess and depend for their charm
on the beauty Of the material. The
new brocaded worsteds and cottons
are very often used for such things

THE HOMELY MAN.

The homeliest man | ever saw was
Ebenezer Brown.
He was sort Of a iaughin stock for
folks here In cur town.
The iokers all told Eben that his face
would stop a clock
If he looked at a pan of milk, IL turned
sour from the shock.
The gals all turned poor Eben down.
They didn't like his style.
The pretty tellers stayed around and
many a long mile.
So Eb got mad and went away and
stayed for quite a while
And managed TO accumulate neat
and nifty pile
The rpetty fellers stayed around and
firted with the girls
And took EN- to the huskin's and the
other social whirls.
No one Of EN- was doin much but
Twin with their folks,
And settin' in the grocery store and
crackn funny jokes
one day Eh came back into town
upon a private car
He had a diamond shirt-stud that
would twinkle like q star.
He didn't care for money and he
blowed IL right and left.
He had a bank roll that a felleT
couldn't hardly heft.
He set the old folks up for life and
told in modest style
About the way he'd gone away and
gathered in his pile
Elb was Just as homely as he ever wal
before.
Perhaps little more so than he wal
In days OF yore
But still u dawned upon the prett,
fellers mighty quick
That Eb would simply 60 among tn
girls and take his pick.
He took good long time 10 choose
did Ebenezer Brown.
And then he we'd the prettiest gal Il
all the gold ding town.
