stolen bases.
Niehof was the fielding class of the as
sociation. He goes to left or right with
equal speed and comes in fast on bunts.
He is death on fly balls, not dropping one
through the entire season of 1913.
Niehof's weakness is going after hard
balls and tanning. He has natural style
in hitting, grasping his war club at the
extreme end and swinging with the
weight of his body, but Tinker will have
to teach him to overcome his habit OF
falling for wide pitches
If nothing goes amiss Griffith ought
to have pitching staff next season
which will give his team a chance TO
be a decided contender in the race:
even if he fails to add material
strength to his teams batting strength.
Johnson ought to be as good as II not

no doubt about Shaw being winner

with Bob Groom, who is apt to nave q

a strong pitching staff. 1t is the opln-
ion of those who have watched the
other youngsters in action that one or
two of them will be able to deliver
the goods.
Boehling proved an unexpected hnd IN

defeated Calvin w. Demarest of Chicago

Demarest made only 30 points in the
first eleven innings, while Hoppe at the
end of the eighth inning led his opponent
by 1877 to 10.
In the twelfth inning Demarest gave a
fine exhibition of balk-line playing. with
a run of 80, which was high mark up to
that time. Two innings later he made
a run of 115. On his Hath shot the balls
had to be spotted from a frozen position.
and he scored only one off the break.
This was Demarest's best effort and dur
ing the run he made some of the best

The appointment of Wilbur Robinson
to the management of the Brooklyn club
comes as a genuine surprise to the fol-
lowers of base ball. When Robinson
was dropped by the New York club at
a run-in with McGraw, it was given out
that he had quit the game for good, and
would in. the future engage in the hotel
business. Ten days later came the story
that Robby would identify himself with
the Baltimore Federal League club
though his friends felt sure that there
was little chance of his affiliating him

Robinson has never held a big league
nagerial position before, but he is vel
qualified for such a task. For several
years he has been the first lieutenant oi

He was also the coach of the young
pitchers that team. In his playing
days Robinson had the distinction of be-
ing a wise catcher, and he gained quite
"a reputation while with the Giants as
being McGraw's most valuable adviser.
Bill Dahen will probably drop into the
minors now that his position with Brook

ed with Arson in Chicago in 1890 and has
since then been connected with the Ma

better infielder than he. But it was his
misfortune to be placed in charge of a
rather mediocre ball team at Brooklyn
with which he naturally did not make a
satisfactory showing as manager.

Langford Looked Overfed.

Sam looked very we'll fed and conse-
quently he did not display the speed and
vigor that Bostonians have been accus-
toned to in his encounters of years gone
by. Smith fought a defensive battle. He
kept away about all the time, refused to
open up and evidently had received good
advice as to how to tie Langford up
when close in Gunboat used his left
very effectively in that it scored points
and kept his opponent SO busy blocking
and ducking that he did not have many
opportunities to lead.
Sam tried fruitlessly to back Smith up
against the ropes. a favorite line Of action
by the Boston slugger. Every time he
felt the ropes behind him the sailor stuck
his left into Langford's face and got
away. The jabs which the white man used
were almost countless, and while many of
them were blocked those that did land
were very light and bothered, but did
not hurt the dusky boy.

Pitcher Mathewson of the Giants is
quoted as saying that he doesn't be-
lfeve the assertions of American
League players that the Athletics steal
opponents signs, because the Athletics
didn't try to get the New York battery
signals in the worlds series. The Ath-
letics probably figured that they could
beat the Giants without straining their
eyes.
Umpire OLoughlin says that it is all
right for the newspaper men to call
Schang of the Athletics and Schalk of
the Chicago White Sox the best young
catchers in base ball today. but that
they should not overlook Steve O'Neil

ONeill is as valuable as either Schang

HIP DRAPERIES AND
TUNICS IN FAVOR

As the season advances the interest in
hip draperies and tunics increases. Some
prominent manufacturers believe that the
short tunic will be stronger than draperies
a little later.
Some of the tunics are arranged in tiers
so that the skirt has somewhat a two or
three-piece appearance. In others the
tuniC is quite full, but in single form,
thus giving a decided curve to the hips
Usually any form of drapery calls for a
soft material; but in these new tunics,
which take on a distended appearance.
fabrics with more stiffness are used, such
as metallic brocades and taffeta silks.
When soft silks or transparent cloth are
used the edges Of the tunics are stiffened
by the use of finishing bands of fur,
beads or metallic cloth, some of which
are used with the softest variety of wire
Below these short tunics are the long.
draped underskirts, developed usually in
soft crepe. charmeuse, faille. brocade, or
chiffon. These clinginS fabrics accentuate
the new figure line. which calls for a
close-htting underskirt with fuIlness Just
below the hips.
