 the bout with Jack Britton last Spring.
 I can't see Murphy in a ten round contest with the fast Chicagoan. In fact, it can hardly be considered in the light of a contest. Packey is far rounds should go so fast that the Harlemite will have trouble in land ing on him at all. A longer bout, however, might prove a different story for Murphy was giving Packey all that was coming to him in the last round two of their fight in San Francisco, according to reliable re- port.
 Leach Cross has several times been offered a match with Mcfarland over the limited round distance, but Cross is too shrewd customer to get in the ring with Packey again. Once was enough for Leach. He tried it two or three years ago and said af- ter the, mill that he never saw so many boxing gloves flying through the air as he did that night. If Me Farland should show signs of slow ing up, in the Murphy match-and he must some of these days-you can bet, though, that Leach will be there with a challenge.
 If Packey wins easily from Murphy and the dope says he ought to prove his superiority over Tommy the Gar den folks will try to persuade Ritchie to meet him. Willie has gone on record recently as being willing to meet Mcfarland at 135 pounds and I know Packey is willing to make a. lower figure for the champion than for anyone else. The prospects are therefore bright that these two stars of the division may be seen in a To- cal ring within the next two or three months.
 A Milwaukee promoter has match ed those oId-time rivals, Battling NeI- son and Ad- WoIgast, for ten rounds. Seems to me read recently that Nelson had given up the game for all time-not a Patti farewell, the kind he pulled so often, but the real cross your-heart kind of retirement And Wolgast, too, only 8 short time ago made it known that to his way of thinking the life of a farmer was to be preferred to the strenuous exist ence of "box fighter
 It is said that when the proposition to box was made to Nelson and Vol gast they both jumped at it. And at that it should be worth while. Aside from the fact that they are both ex-champfons and anything but warm friends the bout should prove attractive on its merits. Nelson has shown in recent contests that he can take a beating as gracefully as in days of yore and while WoIgast is not the .ttbear cat'' of a few years back he is still quite good enough to put up an interesting exhibition
 It is safe bet that the ''niII' will draw record house for the city that a certain. brand of brew made fa- nous.

COBB LEADS RACE
 FOR STICK HONORS

Chicago, Sept 27@Twelve points to the good, Ty Cobb has entered the home stretch in the race for batting championship of the American Lea gue: His chief rival. Joe Jackson. is hitting at a rate of .373 to Cobb's 1855. Iris Speaker apparently is out of it after a rally that threatened at one time to put him on top. He has fallen behind Henricksen, of Boston batting .364 to the latter's average of .S68, established in 26 games.
 Topped only by Earl Yingling, the Brooklyn pitcher and pinch hitter Jake Daubert, of the Brooklyn club, is practically leader in the National League with an average of .359, five points behind the mark set by Ting ling in 35 games Ham Hyatt, pinch hitter, is next with .357 and Cravath, of Philadelphia, is fourth with .331.
 Cravath Is still leading home run hitting with IS; Luderus, of PhiIa- delphia, is next with IT, and Safer, of Chicago, third, with IA. Baker is ahead in the American with 12 and Veach. of Detroit next with g. Bodie, Chicago, and Crawford, are tied for third with each.
 Milan, Washington, is ahead among the American League base steaIers, with 66 and MoeIIer, Washington next with 58. Carey, Pittsburgh, is best in the National League with 59 and Meyers, Boston, next with 4S.
 While Philadelphia. is leading in bat ting and fielding as we'll as in the race for the pennant in the American League, New York leads in the Ma tionaI only in the chase for the flag St. Louis being on top in fielding and Brooklyn in batting.

HOW FRANK BAKER
 GOT BASEBALL START

New York, Sept. 26.-A little over eight years ago, Manager c. Herzog sat on the hotel veranda at Rfdgely and wondered where he was going to dig up shortstop or a third base man. It wasn't much of a hotel, but neither was Herzog much of a man ager; jssst a $75-a-month- -and-board sort, with the board part representing a weekly outlay of about $4.
 His shortstop had run out on him and the Rfdgely club was decidedly not of the sort that carries eight or ten extra players. A new man had been recommended by a butcher or a. miller or some one down Trappe way, but he was a pitcher or an oHtfelder and not Feckoned much of either ex- cept that he could hit.
 As Herzog sat and pondered the sit uation, a long, rawboned specimen whose pants had only nodding ac- Quaintance with his ankles and whose coat sleeves never saw his wrists ex- cept in passing, s1ouched up to the hotel toting a real old telescope va lise. It was the hitting outfielder and pitcher-and he allowed his name was J. Franklin Baker.
 That was the first I ever saw of Baker, Herzog told us; but we got pretty friendly after we had been playing together a while. He couldn't pitch and he couldn't play the out
 
 going over to short myself.
 Baker wasn't as ideal inf1elder at any time for Ridgely, but he could everlastingIy hit.
 '"The club owners were paying $4 a week for my board at the hotel, but couldn't see spending all that money on a lot of common $25 a month ball. players, so we put them out, Baker among them, in boarding houses where they could get room and eats of a sort, for $3.
 Baker spent all that summer liv- ing at a three-a-week boarding house, playing ball when he could and do- ing odd jobs to round out his time and pad out his pay check.
 Few of the others on that Ridgely team were situated much better than Frank and so I offered them the job -or told them to go to it, rather when my future father-in-1aw sent me word the day before Decoration Day that he had whole lot of strawber- ries ready for picking, but no one to pick 'em.
 'I told him r bring over my ball club, and the next morning, before sunrise, I dragged Baker and the rest out of their boarding houses, steered them over to my father-in-1aw's place and made 'em pick berries until it was time to go back to Ridgely and play a doubIe-header.

FIRE CHIEF FROM OUT

1Rv T. S. Andrews.l

Milwaukee had visitor this week in the person of Patsy Moore, fire chief of Colorado Springs, Col, and who at one time was one of the. best heavyweights hereabOuts and who us ed to fight with the bare 'uns. There are many fans of Wisconsin who will remember Patsy McCartin for his ter rifle fights with Gypsy Ward, Frank Whitten and other heavies of the late sos and early sos. Patsy also con ducted boxing journeys at his old place on East Water street. One night he had two colored men fight John Dyer, a clever middle weight, and a fellow named Doc Watson. Pat sy had a, bottle of alcohol and ammo mia mixed, which he rubbed Dyer with. The latter kept jebbing Wat son and the latter fell into clinches and rubbing his face all over Dyer's shoulders in an effort to keep in close, Dyer beat him good The next day friends of Watson were joshing him about the little coon beating him up when he replied: "Ah done de best ah could man, but how could anybody win wifi ch1oroforn soaked all over de ring.

The secretary inme- diately ordered McGoorty to come to Milwaukee and be examined by the commissions doctor. Eddie came and 11-s- I advisable, so the commission grant,

 Neal Ball of this city, who picked up $4,000 in the worlds series last year by being utility infe1der for the Boston Red Sox, has arrived home from his seasons engag cement with Baltimore in the International league. He was sent there in the middle of the season and made a great record as second baseman. The fans were enthusiastic over his work. Ball says he liked it down there and will be glad to return next year. He is busy tfnkering with his automobile now for he intends to take his wife on trip to Vermont next week.
 Another baseball player to visit town yesterday was Uppy Upham, who twir1ed for Bridgeport in 1910 and 1911 Uppy was with Bingham this year and helped that club win a pennant.

material, net or mOusseline, or lace, sewn on a light foundation. The effect will be good provided one does not ov- erdO the thing A white or black aig- rette or paradise feather at the side, dropping over one ear, is the best and almost the only garnish called for. Too much trimming simply destroys the beauty of the whole arrangement.
 Rich brocades with large patterns in gold or silver copper or gun metal thread continue to enjoy certain vogue They appear in rich satins. velvets and crepes Their cost pre- vents them from becoming common and only an artist can make them up sat- isfactorily.
 The wearing of scarfs with decollete gowns has become so general that it is no wonder the woman who has a desire to be original has found a de- vice that is rather novel to replace it. Long or short lengths of tulle knotted at the ends or ornamented with tasels are found to be a satisfactory substi- tute. for even a thickness or two of tulle supplies a little warmth. These strips of tulle are becoming and a touch of color can be given to a white or black costume by means of them. For instance, two lengths of tulle tied together may combine turquoise blue and white or black and green.
 The narrow sashes of the sos have been revived. They are offered i1 many styles, those of brOcade in bright cOlors and odd designs being especially popular The plain ones have em- broidered ends and most of them are finished with fringes. The sashes are knotted at the side or looped at the back. They are worn with all sorts of costumes and give an effective touch o- color to a sombre gown.

the length and increase the width of their silhouette They carry this aversion to anything suggesting full ness or bulk so far that even skirt lin ing is taboOed. For the street, there fore. women who have some regard for their health and wish to keep warm have recourse to maillots or equestrien- nes of jersey. In cold weather this is a necessity, at least for women who do not own an automobile or even a car riage.
 owing to this tendency for avoiding anything conducive to bulkiness thin and sheer materials of every descrip- tion are extremely popular. Laces play an important role in the present day fashion. Many costumes show it as skirt foundation, as the whole cOrsage, as sleeves or in the form of little jacket The last is one of the most sue cessful features of the season. Some times these jackets are sleeveless, somtimes not. Occasionally the entire upper part is a kind of fichu, both back and front.
 These little jackets of lace, being shOrtwaisted do not take much goods, and if one happens to possess several pieces of lace, no matter whether coarse or fine, for all kinds are more or less modish. one has only to have it cleaned or pressed and made into a charming little jacket. Those in black Chantilly are exquisite, also those in Point de Venise. These black lace jackets for change are worn over an evening dress of any color. They are cut with or without revers, decOllete or high necked, but all are dainty and dis tinguished. Imitation lace, which is now quite fashionable. is generally dyed the color of the robe it trims.
 At one of the shops a very handsome dress was shown the other day. It was made in one piece and had row of tiny pink roses of silk above the celn- ture. The effect is, of course, charm ing, yet it is sure to make the waist big and thick That however is just what

 It is predicted that figured silks and satins will be worn a great deal dur ing the coming season and that plain satin will have a rest, at least to a some afternoon frocks but for evening and handsome day gowns nothing can excel the plain-face rich satin. Bro cades have only recently enjoyed pop ularity, and it is a question whether or not as a whole they have been a real success.
 A color which is extremely popular just now is rose leaf, a delicious, soft, transparent tone of pink. In the even ing stunning effects are caught, and at social functions since Christmas the rose leaf for young women has had first choice Another dye that is pretty

 The beguin or evening bonnet is now having a tremendous vogue. It is q great idea, this little headgear, for if one is going calling in the evening or to some function that does not require the head bare, the beguin can be put on to cover tossed hair, or hair that has been mussed under a hat. The fashionable beguin covers the entire head like all the hats, and some wO- men who do not care to recurl their front hair fasten in the little fringe of hair or put in pieces of hair to go over the ears.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-At the be- ginning of the fall season of last year some of the writers on fashion made the somewhat rash statement that the days of the narrow skirt and of the slim silhouette were counted and that an era of fuHness. if not of bouffancy was rapidly ap- preaching in the wake of the tenta- tive basque models shown by some of the designers of fashions in Paris and elsewhere Perhaps the wish was the father of this prediction which. like many other such predic- tions was net fulfilled.
