PARTISAN NOVELTIES
FOR MYLADYS BOUDOIR

At present there is a vogue for the
attractive little articles made in Paris
to adorn the boudoir of Milady Dainty.
These are pincushions, glove boxes,
trinket and work baskets fashioned of
pompadour silk, gold lace. and ribbon
flowers. II purchased at the shops these
fascinating bits of handic-aft cost fabu-
lous sums. but the handy woman can,
if she desires. duplicate any one Of them
at home for much less.

the same manner, but decorate the top

Is no denying the charm Of these articles, |
and if you have never examined them |
closely, do so when next you visit the
shops.

dainty materials which require fairylike /
stitches and nimble fingers to produce |
the best results will find making these
Partisan novelties work after her own
heart.

BAPTISTS PROVE
EASY VICTIMS FOR
ALABAMA ELEVEN

Tuscaloosa, September 21.-tspecial)
Except for occasional spurts, when they
threatened to tear down the tottering
defense which opposed them, the Howard
Baptists proved easy victims for the
Crimson and White machine of the Uni
versity of Alabama in the opening gridiron
sontest of the season here this afternoon,
the Collegians capturing the conflict by a
count of 27 to 0. The team work of both
aggregations was distinctly off color.
Fumbling, penalties and general disor-
ganization' marred the conflict from quar-
ter to quarter and was relieved only by
the brilliant playing Of individuals. De-
spite the score the Baptists were able to
throw a surprise into the camp of the
Collegians at intervals during the con-
test when they resorted entirely to the
forward pass of offensive work, and for
a time nearly threw the Collegian de-
Tense into panic. When really threat
ended, however, the thin red line tight
8ened and held the Baptists safe.
Alabama s work was far from satisfac-
tory, despite the fact that the men arc
yet in poor condition. The Crimson ma
chine was extremely erratic. Their work
lacked consistency both extensively and
defensively At times the Crimson war
riors tore the Howard line into shreds
and skirted their ends for brilliant gains.
And then their brilliant work faltered
before the Baptists attack Twice under
the shadow of their goal, Howard held
their opponents for downs and on nu-
merous occasions were able to penetrate
the Collegian defense for consistent gains.
Captain Vandegraaff was the distinct

Auburn, September 27.-(Special.)
The presents cool September weather
has given the Auburn football candi-
dates an opportunity for hard work
that has not been, neglected. With the
arrival of Pitts and Lockwood it has
been possible TO form some idea of
what the final personnel of the team

well as In any team in the south. The
guards are rather bulky yet but hard
work will bring them more in line with
the prevailing fashions. As it is they
are playing as good game as they
did at any time last year ami are q
(tower of strength to the Auburn line.
Pitts is the same aggressive player and
with added age and experience will
develop into first class man.
The tackle positions left vacant by
Lamb and Meadows are still an open
proposition. Louisell's boils and Tay-
lor's ankleA have retarded the final
selection of players for these positions.
Louisell Is the most likely candidate
for right tackle and he ought to be
out next week for regular work. Then
Taylor may be tried at tackle when he
comes out. which won't be for some
time. Other good possibilities for these
positions are Cleveland, Esslinger,
Steed. Culpepper and Martin, who IS
playing the kind of game on the
scrubs that will eventually mean his
promotion.
The ends are fairly well fixed. Rob-
inson is playing his usual game at right

Mans Slump to Third

Detroit, September 27.-Detroit captured
a double header from Cleveland here to-
day, to and to 8. The first game
was a slugging match. The second con-
test, closely fought, was called on accoun'
of darkness after the first half OF the
seventh inning. The double defeat tum-
bled the Maps from second place and ad-
vanced washington, which won from New
York today, to that position.
Detroit used two pitchers and Cleveland
called on three in the first game.
In the second game the Tigers scored
the winning run in the sixth inning. I'm
til then the game had been a tight tussle
between Willett and Cullop. Cobb's won
derful batting today practically made GER
tain that he would lead the league again
this season. In each game he secured
three hits, while Jacksons total for the
afternoon was two. Cobb pounded out
two triples, double and three singles

half of the Crimson flashed up and down
the field a streak of brilliancy. His work
was far superior to that of his team
mates, both extensively and defensively,
and his play throughout the contest
stamped him star of the highest calibre.
Harsh and Joplin also did stellar work
for the Crimson, while Glass and Robbins
featured the efforts of the Baptists.
Alabama started things with a rush,
scoring the first touchdown within two
minutes of play as result of a 50-yard
run by Vandegraaff, two short bucks and
another 20-yard run by the Alabama cap
tain. Howard then strengthened and held
the Collegians safe until the latter part
of the second quarter when Johnston
plunged through the Baptists line for an
other counter. Alabama scored two other
touchdowns one when Long blocked a
