WHITE SOX ARE
AHEAD IN YIN, CA
MEMBER CAMPAIGN

Marked aggressiveness on the part
of two teams in the Y. NJ. C. A. mem
bership campaign signalized the work
of Yesterday and brought Capt. Hugh
Lavery of the Chicago White Sox
prominently to the front. Capt. Law
erys team got away with three two
base hits early in the morning and
home run scoring six runs for the
White Sox Capt. Gray, of the Ath-
letics, was a close second with four
runs to the credit of his team. 1t
was q hard day for the Athletics yes
terday, instead of scattering their hits
in filling the bases they punched the
heavy hitters and scored two home
runs when the bases were empty. If
Capt Gray could have put in a few
pinch hitters here and there, his team
would have made most excellent
showing. AS it is the Athletics are
away IN the lead When Capt. Gray
drew the card that placed him in
charge of the bunch of Philadelphia
wizards he made the remark that his
team would show up favorably with
the aggregation that won the World s
Series.
Up to date he has made good his
threat Capt. Gray is an enthusiastic
member of the business mems class in
the gym and appreciates the value of
that branch of the Y. M. C. A. This
is one of the reasons why he is able
to deal such heavy blows in behalf OF
the association in the present contest.
The only other teams to score yester-
day were the Washington Senators
and the Boston Braves. The latter
team under the direction of City Clerk
Boucher is just getting into action
When the game opened vest erday the
Braves had a man on second who was

LOBERT WON'T RACE
JIM THORPE AGAIN

Honus Lobert does not propose to
permit his reputation of having de-
feated Jim Thorpe, the famous Indian
athlete, in foot race to become tar
nisned. The paleface and the Indian
met in a 10O-yard dash at the Polo
Grounds the day before the world $
series opened there this month. Lo-
bert won by a couple of yards.
1--WE had run about sixty yards on
even terms said Lobert in describing
the race. II had been tipped off to
watch out for Thorpe's elbow, as
when he was about to let out an extra
link his elbows worked like piston
rods So I kept my eyes on the elbow
nearest to me. After we had run
about sixty yards noticed that elbow
shoot back. Then let out a few extra
links myself and sailed away from the
Indian. But for the fact that I had
been tipped off to Thorpe's style the
chances are that he would have got

up the lost ground
An effort was made while the
worlds tourists were at Cincinnati to
get Lobert to run a foot race with
Thorpe, but the former declined.
Honus' reason was. that if he ran
Thorpe at Cincinnati every place
where they stopped on the tour would
want the feature on the programme,
and he did not propose to run himself
to death just for little glory.

went out to play the Annex Jrs, not
Annex Fairmonts, or Burr Roads. II
the Annex JrS would please look at
the rule book again they would be all
right. A touchdown does not count
anything this year. In the first period
the Annex rush the ball up the field
and tumble it, The Westwoods got 1T
five yards from their goal and gain
two yards in four downs. The Annex
Jrs. got the ball again two yards from
the goal and could not rush it over
The final score was 8 to Z. The West
woods line up was as follows:
Sme1ter, right half back; j. GdFbr1de,
full back; Ives, left half back; Boden,

= ASHIONABLE shoes are fantas-
tic. More attention is paid to
footwear than formerly, and
therein lies the reason for the sup
ply Of shoe novelties.
The sandal effect is used even in
high button shoes, and the slippers
show sandal lacings of ribbons or
leather straps. The cut of these shoes
is extremely frivolous but there is
nothing really impractical in the shoes
themselves.
Nearly all shoes are buttoned, and
the leading feathers are gun metal
and patent calf with tops Of self or
cloth. The most popular cloth topping
is black corkscrew cloth. which is very
smart in effect, but many colored nov
elites will be found
There is a great increase In the de-
mand for evening footwear, and there
fore many brilliant ornaments in imi-
tation platinum and diamonds, steel
and jet are carried by the best deal
ers.
The shoe styles for men are not so
varied nor so numerous as for wom-
en-. They must adhere more closely
to the conventional and not tend to-
ward the fantastic.
The little details which mark each
seasons changes are evidenced in the
buttoned styles and the gun metal,
patent and tan feathers, with fiat re-
cede toe.
Cloth tops for patent leather boots
are in considerable demand especially
for evening wear. The evening shoe
has the long, slim, aristocratic line,
with the sole more closely trimmed
than the street boot and no tip or
trimming to mar the smoothness Of
the patent leather vamp and top Of
fine twilled cloth.

VELVET COAT
WELCOMED
FOR WINTER USE
Southern Suit and Skirt Com
pany Shows Striking Model
in Its Fall Display,

Brocaded velvet coat with plain
broadcloth skirt Is the mode for
dressy suits These suits are hand
some enough for any occasion, and
are welcomed eagerly by the women
who value coat suits above all other
garments.
One suit Of this type was seen at
the Southern Suit and Skirt Company.
Ii is of the ever popular black, with
pale lavender lining adding the only
touch Of color. The coat is of a
graceful length, with simulated pock-
cts and large pocket flaps. The mink
neckpiece gives a decorative, practi-
cal finish
A mahogany cut velour makes an
extremely handsome suit. The vel
vet collar and cuffs of the same shade
are embroidered in rich design. The
skirt is draped in a becoming manner,
and buttons combine usefulness and
picturesqueness.
Black satin charmeuse makes a
handsome coat which looks a trife
somber from the back, where the
pleats are fashioned beneath a velvet
belt. Turn il around-behold a SAT-
from velvet vest of sufficient gor-
geOusness to make the garment as
sumo greater value in feminine eyes
than ever a wholly black one could.
This velvet vest Just peeps unobtru-
sively from beneath the plated front
Of the coat, and its huge SATIN bound
buttOnholes display just the proper
amount of restricted gayety.
Golden brown brOadcloth with SAT-
from lining, gendarme blue matelasse

fact that sufficient individuality ex-

weary of the freaks and fads that
creep into the construction Of clothes
for American women.

Few Feathers Seen on Hats

Hats depend more upon their shape
and placing Of trimming than on a
profusion of flowers or feathers. They
are mostly close-fitting TO accommo-
date the new head-shape coiffures.
Ostrich plumes are in high favor
and are combined with gold and silver
laces to make the most charming of
dress hats. Flowers are little used, the
adoption Of the French bouquets or
one or two large flowers having be-
come the most desired trimming.
