Dainty FloWered Hatpips.

The methods of making Powered
ornamental hatpins is easy. An or
binary hatpin, with round or pear
shaped top, such as is bought for a
penny or two, is utilized. The head
of the pin is first swathed in wadding,
and then covered with colored silk
or satin, on which should be en-
broidered colored beads to represent
the center of the flower. Pieces of
ribbon are next taken to form the
petals. Such flowers as peoples,
daisies and roses are particularly be-
coming. The result when finished is
eminently satisfactory, and often adds
a pleasing dash of color to the gen.
eral effect.

RED DOOM WINS
STRAW HAT GAME
President Lynch Reverses I'm
pire Brennan's Decision on
Forfeited Contest.

New York, Sept. 3.-Reversing the
decision of Umpire Brennan, President
Thomas ]. Lynch of the National
league announced yesterday afternoon
that the game of Aug 80, between
the New York and Philadelphia clubs
will count as victory for the Phila-
delphia team. Umpire Brennan award
ed the contest to the Giants by a
8 to score, when the Philadelphia
management was unable to clear a
section of the bleachers back of CEN
ter field, claiming that the moving
spectators were handicap to the New
York batters.
President Lynch in his decision
states that Umpire Brennan exceeded
his authority in declaring the game
forfeited to the New York club an
formally awards it to the Philadelphia
team by score of to 6, which was
the score by which the Phillies led in
the ninth inning, when the game was
stopped by the umpire. The decision
of the league executive is as follows:
In all cases where protest is
lodged against the result of a cham
pionship game the umpire's statement
of fact is of most Importance, and
whenever an umpire in making a de-
cision is supported by the rules of
the game | will back him to the limit.
The official report CT Umpire Brennan
covering the game forfeited to New
i York in Philadelphia Aug. 80, shows
that neither clu3 had complained of
existing conditions regarding the spec,
/ tators, md that the umpire plainly
went beyond his authority in declar.
! ing forfeiture, for which action he
had neither the protection of the reg,
ular playing rules nor of any special
ground rule. The umpire was clearly
at fault in not having the game played
to finish.
LAS Mr.. Brennan's ruling is without
precedent, | waive all technical proce
dure in ruling on this protest in ordel

may be had and the best interest o.
the game may be served. Acting

What team in the American league
has the best pitching staff? Fans and
critics all summer have been discuss
ing this interesting question. Now
comes along one James Richelieu Nc
Aleer. president of the Boston Red
Sox, and settles it. He says the lowly
St Louis Browns have the prize pitch
ing staff of the whole league
George Stovall has the best pitch
ing staff in our league today" said
McAleer during a recent tanning bee.
HE has four pitchers who comprise
the best balanced staff in the Ameri-
can league and measure up to equality
with any in the rival body.
Give me Hamilton, Leverenz,
Baumgardner and Mitchell, not to
speak of Stone, too, and the Red Sox
would have carried home this race in
grip. If Birmingham had that quar-
tet the Maps would have torn through
the Macks by the Fourth Of July. If
Griffith had this staff, with Johnson,
the battle for the flag would have been
a walkaway for the Washington team.

along with Chief Bender and Eddie

race at all once the season started
