The hat at the top of the picture Is
an admirable shape made of Milan
straw. It's proportions are beautiful,
and the careful management of the
curving brim shows how much the
maker of shapes can do toward the
success of hat. 1t is trimmed with
a band Of wide velvet ribbon with
small bouquets of flowers set against
1t, and rosette at each side.
The chin strap of velvet fastens
with snap at one side just at the

London.
His statement that Sir John French

Playground Ball is Help to Boys
Keeps Them Healthy and Vigorous
By HUGH 8. FULLERTON

st. Louis may be the joke OF
major league baseball, but that
city has advanced and developed
an Idea which II extended to every
city and town In America would
be the greatest possible develop
ment of our national game, and
one of the greatest things fol-
the youth Of American cities ever
planned.
The Playground Baseball league
of st. Louis has proved such q
success that several other cities
are taking up the plan. ~gincin-
natl, Cleveland and Pittsburg au-
thorities have studied 1t.
Radowe Abeken, the young and
enthusiastic head of the play
grounds In st. Louis, has started
a vigorous campaign to organize
every playground system OF the
larger cities of the United States
into one great league of munich
pal amateur baseball teams, d.
rectly controlled by the play
ground officials OF the cities. At
the recent meeting of the Nation
al Association. of Amateur Base
ball clubs, held in Chicago, Abe
ken appealed to the promoters to
indorse his municipal league and
have the amateur teams from the
Fairgrounds of different cities
meet each fall for national
championship.
The st. Louis plan Is the first
comprehensive one put into effect
although many Of the other cities
have their playground teams.
Abeken, when he left college,
went into the playground work
with the idea that the greatest
success could be attained through
devoting the most attention to
the game most popular among the
boys. He threw open the play
grounds of st. Louis to all the
boy teams Of the city.
At the start little effort was
made to control the teams save to
allot to them the playing hours.
In this way the boys came to look
upon the playground authorities
as the proper ones to decide dis
putes, and they became the real
government of amateur baseball
in st. Louis.
Within a short time even out
side teams appealed to the play
ground authorities for decisions.
The move gave great impetus to
playground baseball. A league
was formed including every play
ground in the city. Naturally
teams that had been playing on
the lots wanted to come in. Every
team that used playground dia-
mond was eligible to enter the
contests for the championship of
that playground and the winner
on each ground was entitled to
enter the league and to battle for
the prizes offered. The result
has been that the playground
league furnishes st. Louis with
excellent amateur baseball games
and kept many boys off the street
corner gangs.
