Dress Shields,

Instead of sewing or pinning shields
in a waist, sew narrow piece of tape
or baby ribbon at each end of the
shield and sew similar pieces at the
proper distance apart in the armholes
of all your waists The shields are
quickly tied in place, they are easily
changed in wash waists. and there are
no pins TO rust or prick.

not noteworthy, MeGraw. who pays
little attention to averages, is certain
that the Indian has the making of a
great ball player. Thorpe's play in
the south was as a pitcher, outfielder
and first baseman. In the box he won
a few more games than he lost, and
in fielding he had a percentage Of
over 900. He was not a scientific
batter, swinging at the ball freely
and not being satisfied unless he hit
II out of the lot. His average, how
ever, was over $50. He was regarded
as a wonderful thrower and a speedy
base runner, however.
If he wears the uniform of the
Giants next season he will have the
records of at least three other Indian
major league baseball players worthy
of emulation-Soc who played
with the old Cleveland National
LeagHe team in the eos; Charles
Bender, the great Chippewa pitcher
of the Philadelphia Athletics, and
Chief" Meyers. who catches for the
New York Giants-three aboriginies
who rose to prominence in baseball.
In all, there have been about dozen
Indian ball players in the history of
the major league.

The Hudsons are holding fourth
place and the 'wilbys" first. but a
victory for the former is expected. as
they have drubbed the Silk City ag-

game in another. Five points separ-
ale these elevens, and a victory for
the '.Wilby' viii almost assure them
Of the championship.
Another contest that is attracting
interest will take place in Paterson
between the True Blues and the Jer-

position in the league. while the
"Joiseys' sport second place. A vic

Lew McCarty was not a screaming
success with the stick last season. In
fact, he wound up the season with an
average that looked as though 1t had
been caught in shower and shrunk-

fact that Lew batted for only .1s2

not indicate that he will not improve.
McCarty was not used often enough
last season to get@his batting optic on

came when Captain Harry Smith was
laid up for repairs, due to a fractured
wrist. Then he slugged the ball hard
for awhile. but when Higgins was

the highest order, and he made an
International League record last sea-

third among the leagues catchers, be-

The fact that McCarty had but one
