 WELL IN s BOX
 FOR OUR BOYS
CBy Wagner.)


 The New Britain Sinks are well nam ed. They can sink quicker and with less fuss and feathers than any team terday they visited New1eId park and hour. At the finish Bridgeport had piled up nine runs and New Britain had large, round zero. Young McCa;be, who gets his mall in Mamaroneck. N. r., kdded the tai1- enders along for the whole route. He gave them ten hits but absolutely re- fused to allow any scoring. In the eighth the Sinks had the bases crowd ed with none out but the next three men couldn't get a ball out of the diamond.
 McCabe famed seven and didn't give a pass.
 John Hancock, who oh1cfatad for New Britain, fooled the Bolts for two innings. In the third the locals jump ed on him for couple of taIlies and in the fourth they rang up five. Bob- l by Stow enthuseds the spectators by his dazzling fielding, the youngster accepted 12 chances. Hallman, Boultes, Senno and Ems excened in batting. They each gathered two blows.
 | Two local boys were with New Bri- tain. Tommy Bowden romped around shortstop in place of the veteran Zei- mer, who has been released. Tom u1y, fielded c1everly but could not hit safely. Jack Egan caught his usual good game. He was unable to do much with McCabe, however The score:

BRAVES LOSE
 AND DROP TO
 THIRD PLACE

St Louis, Aug. 28-The St. Louis Cardinals climbed into second place yesterday when they upset the Boston Braves in the first game of the series by a score of 3 to 2. The game went ten innings Cozy Do1an. chasing Lee Magee home from first base with a long double against the left field fence. Magee opened the inning with a sim gle, his third hit.
 A The game was nip and tuck battle between the two close rivals, and was played under the worst possible condi- items, as a, drizzling rain fell through out the entire fracas.
 Huggins opposed the Braves with Hub Perdue, a former team mate. and all the Boston runs scored off him were unearned. Snyder batted for Perdue in the seventh, and aGriner, who finished the game, received credit for the victory. Dick Rudolph pitched the entire game for Boston, and was hit pretty hard, as the Cardinals made eleven hits. The great Boston trio seems to be feeling the effects of over work.

 WELL BUT LOSES

: After more than three hours of beating around the bush. Branch Rickey's St. Louis Browns beat the Yankees at the Polo Grounds yester- day by a. score of 5 to 4. The end Sca:ne in, the twelfth inning, when Jim my Austin did some alert base running and got around to third, from whence DerriII Pratt scored him with a. nifty poke to right field.
 Some time previous to these pro ceedings the Yankees had every in tention of winning the game. Ray Keat1ng pitched five innings and the Browns obtained only one hit. He got wobbly in the sixth and the Browns scored a couple of runs. euvIn# the seventh Manager Chance took him out and put in Marty McHale. which showed that Manager Chance, in mak- ing this change, went from bad to worse.
 McHale didn't last long, and when he made a high heave over first base, which tied the score, Fisher came to the rescue. Before the game was over Warhop also took a hand in the affair. All the pitchers were showed in pre- suna:b1y so that the blame could be distributed among the whole staff.

C1arkin declares Hartford is one of the best baseball towns in Class B. . company and with a first division team is sure to attract paying patronage C1arkin's health has been poor and for that reason he could not take an ac- tive interest in baseball this year.

A Use for Handbag Frames


Have you faithfully preserved the
handsome frame of the handbag
whose base was worn to ribbons?
II you have, there is no reason In
the world why you should not ad-
just It to one OF the new handbag
materials and in that respect, at
least, be strictly In line with fashion.
Take the familiar ha1f-oval frame,
with the ball top clasp and the pair
OF outstanding hanger rings.
Make for this base from widest
sash ribbon-the sort that has a
flower brocaded centre, bordered with
fine lines in contrasting colors, says
an exchange.
Line 1t with silk, Join the sides.
gather one edge to the perforations
OF the frame and the other to the
top of floss or bead tassel.
Then make a handle from the
doubled-over ribbon--or a narrower
width, II you can find it--and there
you have a handbag which cannot
be bought for modest sum of
money.
Striped MORE piece silk makes a
very smart looking bag when fitted
to one OF these oval frames.

As Old Nations Name Baby

Choosing name for a new baby Is
always matter of anxious consid-
GRAFTON, but In certain lands the
anxiety has been minifnized by the
laying down Of rules to guide the
choice
The Mohammedans, for example,
write five names on slips of paper
and place them In the Koran. One
slip Is drawn out, and the name writ
ten thereon Is bestowed upon the
baby. With the Egyptians three
lighted candles are taken and named
lone name always being of Biblical
oharacter--and the candle which
burns the longest determines the
child's name. says the Buffalo Sun
day Times.
The Hindoos allow the mother &c
name a baby when 1t is twelve days
old, but IL the father does not like
the chosen name, he selects another
Then the two names are written on
slips of paper and held over a lighted
lamp, that which burns the brighter
being the name finally adopted.
In China, girl babies are consid-
cred not worth naming. and are SIM
ply numbered in order of birth. Chi
r1ese boys are named until they are
twenty, when they receive fresh
names specially chosen by their
fathers.

The Insincerity of Snobs

There are many classes Of snobs.
A refined snob is person of
otherwise good qualities, of which
reverence Is one, but he has not the
courage of his opinions; he Is the
victim Of social oowardice. He may
be afraid of the soivency Of his own
social position, perhaps entirely
without reason, but no one can call
courage to a heart which has 1t not;
he may be a victim to that social
leader who has the priceless COM
neutrality-suspicious., says the Buffalo
Sunday Times.
Another sort OF snob Is he who
"bravely' says: ST would not speak
to Mr.. Newcomer last week, but this
week, as he has made money In Wall
Street, I will adore him, and I will
accept his hospitality. What Is con-
sisteney2 A jewel? No: 1t is the
last refuge OF the commonplace"
Every large city presents picture
Of this variety of snob every day.
Then there may be all over the coun-
try a snobbism which In its sub
serviency disgusts the honest man.
One meets II always at the portals
of the great world, and honest men
retire before 1t.
In England It means bowling the
knee to a prince or a duke; in Amer
lea 1t means bringing before great
wealth. Certain brave, modest and
genuine young men see others sue
coed In society by what they con-
slider snobbery-men whom at school
and college, and in the ball field or
the rowing match, they knew to be
their interiors, and they retire from
the drawing room, taking from the
society the element 1t so much
needs--their own sincere selves.

Plush Coat and a Mirror

A(EtAA MAJ ODBAa
Would you kindly advise me how
to fix a black plush coat? It has
a mark on the front from the frog.
How could l steam il? Also kindly
let me know how TO resiiyer the
back of a mirror. Thanking you
in advance. PEGGY.
Rip the lining from the coat. then
dampen the part to be pressed on
the wrong side and hold it over a
hot iron, which has been placed face
UP on a table. Run the cloth over
the iron until the steam stops COM
ing through. This ought to raise
the nap.
Here are two methods Of repair
ing mirror. Each requires some
skill:
place the mirror, face down
ward, on a table, and with a bit Of
cotton clean off the spot TO be
silvered by rubbing it with
pledget of cotton. Now spread over
the spot a piece of tinfoil a little
larger than the area to be repaired
and after spreading out smoothly
let fall on the centre of it drop OF
metallic mercury. With a bit OF
channels rub the foil until it be-
comes brilliant. Next place over the
new amalgam a sheet of smooth
writing paper and on it pile books
: or weights of any sort and leave
over night. The amount Of weight
needed is not great, just sufficient
to keep the new amalgam in close
contact with the glass. The amount
of mercury used should correspond
as nearly as possible to three
drachms TO the square foot OF sur
face to be resilyered.
2-Clean the bare portion Of the
glass by rubbing it gently with fine
cotton. taking care to remove every
trace of dust and grit. If this clean
ing Is not done very carefully de-
fects will appear around the place
repaired. Upon the back of another
looking glass cut with a penknife
around a portion of the silvering of
the required form, but a little
larger. Upon II place a small drop
Of mercury. A drop the size of
pin head Is sufficient for a surface
equal to the size OF a nail The
mercury spreads Immediately. pene-
trating the amalgam to the place It
was cut with the knife, and the
required piece may be lifted and re-
moved to the place to be repaired.
