Anderson Wins Chance at Joe Rivers
knocks Out Brown.

lightweight, added "ed''' to the name
of Knocked Out Brown, Dan Nor
gan's New York scrapper, in the 18th
round at Los Angeles last night.
Incidentally, Anderson looms up as
an obstacle in the path of Joe Rivers
toward match with Willie Richie
for the championship. By his show
ing in his two battles with Brown the
coast fighter has horned prominently
into the Imelight, and Rivers must
eliminate him before he can demand
Riches undivided attention.
Brown only had the advantage in
two rounds last night and held his
opponent safe in the same number.
During the rest of the fight Ander-
son was the, aggressor and carried
the battle to the New Yorker.
Ten times Brown kissed the can
vas after wallop from Anderson,
usually delivered with a right hook
The coast boy also displayed an effec-
tive uppercut, which connected with
Browns Evers-like jaw with deadly
frequency. In the 18th Brown was
sent to the floor three times, the
blow that put him out being right
swing to the jaw, following right
to the body. Brown was knocked
cold.
Though clearly outfought and
without a chance after the sixth
round, Brown displayed remarkable
gameness.
Luther McCarty and Jim Flynn
both announced themselves in good
condition this morning for their go

standing these optimistic reports,

uled six rounds. Gunboat Smith ex-

'oxING- THE LATEST DOPE
Leach Ties Score-Shows Nerve
Walsh Pitches; Sure, Sox Win.

Just to be little different, we're
going to tip our hat to an athlete who
took part for only about three min
utes in yesterdays two hours of ball
base and hand-at the West Side
park, and who seems to have been
lost in the crowd of 10 players Man
ager Evers showed into the scuff1e.
Our hero is Thomas Leach, and we
were not so much impressed with his
bingle in the seventh, which drove
in the tieing run from second, as with
the way he acted around the plate
before pulling this cheer stuff
Zim's triple, Phelan's bingle, pass
to Corriden and two errors had given
the Cubs two runs with two out, leav-
ing Bfesnahan on first and Corriden
on second. Leach was sent to bat for
Lavender, who had relieved Charley
Smith on the mound in the fourth.
A hit meant a tie score.
Lefty Cooper worked the count to
three and two on Leach. Did the lit
tie veteran act nervous? He did not,
says we, having known the answer
when we asked the question. Tom
waved to Cooper to wait a minute,
stepped back from the plate, used his
hands for cuspidor, rubbed them in
the dirt, got firm grip on his short
black bat, and then stepped into the
batter's box. He might have been
playing with the Main Street Terrors,
back in the old home town, for all
the concern he showed at the ticklish
situation.
Cooper pushed the next ball
straight over the pan, waist high, and
Tommy caught it squarely for line
single to center, blowing Corriden
home.
The reason we give all this space
to Leach is to show how a veteran

The Brows and Lashes

Women who take excellent care of their
hair often neglect their brows to the ex-
tent Of allowing them TO become shaggy
and coarse. without realizing what infu-
once the brows have on the expression OF
the face. The eyebrows should be brushed
every morning and evening as regularly
as the hair. and they must be given a
daily massage il they are TO be kept
smooth and glossy. II the hair were
washed twice daily its lustrc would be de-
stroyed and dry. rough appearance

what happens TO the brows az result OF
bathing the face with such frequency.
Therefore an application OF oil AZ least
orce a day is almost necessary To the vel
fare OF tho eyebrows. II should be applied
with the finger tip. the stroke being done

hair grows. The motion should he sum
ccntly strong to stimulate circulation. 4
few drops of oil OF cajeput rubbed in
serves as an excellent tonic. Just plain
vaseline is good TO encourage lustre and
to add To the growth. but lotion made
by the following formula is excellent for
the brOws.

J. Straight hanging window curtains
will make you sleep better?
- You will be better woman If your
pictures hang from two vertical wires?
g. Treadiug on flowers in the rugs Will
make your children insensible to beauty?
All these and many other things were
revealed yesterday 10 the members OF
the Womens University Club by Frank
Alvah Parsons. in lecture on Art in
the Household
The trouble with American women IS
that YOU have beauty indigestion. he
said. 1T isn't that YOU never saw any
really good art. You have seen so much
of it that you have lost the power 10 dis
tinguish. There is one hotel in New York
which has represented eleven different
schools OF art in its lobby. 1t is regu-
lar encyclopaedia of art.
The fundamental principle in household
art-snd that is, of real arts the prin-
ciple OF related shapes. Every line Gre
atcd must he in harmony with the space
you for the crime OF the looped window
curtain. III gives you Dad dreams Dy
night and an uneasy conscience by day.
Consider the outrage of the picture
hung by one cord, suspended at the CEN
tire. The triangle thus made above the
picture is the only thing YOU can see In
the room. II hits YOU in the eye. IL fol-
lows you in YOUR conversation. Why?
Because it is the only triangle in a space
of vertical and horizontal lines.
Now, if this is so at all, it is so a lot.
II this is true of a picture wire, il is true
Of pieces of furniture. You cannot put a
square peg in round hole; neither can
YOU put broad fat sofa against a long.
narrow space, nor tall. slim cabinet in a
space built for q piano.
Another 'sentisl principle in applied
art is that of the appropriate application
OF decoration. What do YOU think OF
hand painted china? remember q
beautiful set in Indiana. Each plate had
lifclike fish on it. and from that fish )
back had 10 eat peaches and cream,
Again. what do YOU think of a dead
