American Hats In France.

Marquis de Castellane. in bis Paris
letter to the New York American,
says: "Once upon time everything
In France came from England; not
only our clothes, but Also our soiled
linen, which was sent across the chan
mel TO be washed and then returned
to Paris with an immaculate white
ness. In other words, Paris was In
the hands Of the English and they de-
cided what clothes should be worn
and imposed that decision upon Eu-
rope. In due course came the silk
hat and, willynilly, Parisians were
obliged to adopt this awful form Of
headgear. America, by inventing more
practical head coverings. has, to a
certain extent, liberated the world
from these hideous 'stovepipes,' which
England was pleased to impose upon
us. and we are profoundly grateful to
the United States for this blessing"

BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING
Many Shifts Are Due in Baseball for
Next Season.

Just how far baseball magnates
must go to make their conversations
formal is a mystery to the unsOphis-
ticated fan. Maybe they must have
on their soup and fish uniforms, or
possibly it is necessary to pop few
champagne corks.
At any rate, Garry Hermann lays
great stress on the fact that his con-
ference with Charley Weeghman in
regard to buying the Cubs was very
informal. But spending money is one
of the most informal little sports
known.
The admission that the sale was
discussed is enough and indicates
that President Thomas of the Cubs
doesn't know what his employers are
doing. He declared a day or so ago
that all talk of selling the Cubs was
bunk.
Roger Bresnahan is reported to
have stated the terms under which
he would take the rather dubious
honor of plotting the Cubs for the
next three years
IL a PlOPOSfLlOIl 10 OIl 10 guy L06
Cubs and arrange a peace between
organized baseball and the Feds, Sc
lection of a manager will undoubted-
ly be left to the purchaser. If Weegh-
man took the team he might want
Joe Tinker as the boss, though Bres-
nahan would probably get the best
results.
Could Weeghman buy the team
and consolidate it with his Federal
reserve men he would have a team
capable of cutting out the running
for the National League race, and
George .Stallings would have to go
stronger than ever to retain his title
of miracle man.
Wilson, Archer and Bresnahan be-
hind the bat would make the best
trio Of receivers ever gathered on
one team. Safer at first, Farrell at

Sam Langford and Smith Fight a
Peculiar Battle.

fights as the two engagements be-
tween Gunboat Smith and Sam Lang
ford, promoters and all interested in
the game can make no kick if re-
formers agitate further restrictions
for the sport.
Last night in Boston the Tar Baby
knocked Smith out in three rounds
and made the claimant of the heavy
weight title look ridiculous through
out the mill. In the first round Smith
went down for the count of seven.
In the second he took nine and tot
tered to his feet barely in time to
save a decision. Immediately he was
fioored again, but the bell came to
his rescue.
Starting the third, Langford toyed
with Smith, tented his guard down
and drove across a terrific right that
finished the battle. Langford was so
superior to the white man that the
battle was slaughter.
The thing that makes this fight pc
culiar is the 12-roUnd battle the same
two men fought in Boston some time
ago. At that time Smith was an easy
victor, LangfOrd being slow and I'M
certain.
Smith is a youngster on the up
grade. Langford is about ready for
the curtain. So it isn't reasonable to
suppose that Smith could have gone
back far enough, or Langford adj
vanced sufficiently, to make the diff
ference between the two fights.
Recently Langford has been doing
nothing wonderful. He has been over
weight and slow in the majority of
his tUssles. He looked like a champion
last night, but Smiths ridiculous
showing was the main cause.
