cases beautifully made OF ruched or

the lining are posed at one side.
Though an apparently rather super
fuous possession, these muffs Rave
their distinct advantages, as they can
take the place Of The handbag or The
alter reticule, for inside the linibS is
arranged a neat pocket, which holds
handkerchief, powder puff and a
small jeweled purse-a fact which
will appeal to many women who, in
these pocketless days. are weary CT

YOST MUST BUILD NEW TEAM
Michigan Coach viii Have Weak
Nucleus to Prepare for Gruelina
Contest With Harvard in 1914.

Fielding II. Yost's ability as a foot
ball tutor will be put to its greatest
test on October 81. 1914, when his team
meets the best eleven developed in the
east in years.
For two years the Harvard team has
swept through its schedule with never
defeat and each season the men Of
Harvard have won the gridiron cham
pionship of the east. Next year Har-
ward will have practically the same
team that Harvard had this esason,
while Michigan may and again may
not have a team that compares favor
ably with the Yost eleven of 1918
Had Michigan been able TO meet
Harvard this year or in 1915 her
chances against the great eleven of
Cambridge would be at an even mark.
but next year
Yost must rebuild a scoring machine
at Ann Arbor. He loses the pick of
his 1913 line and the stars of his back
field by graduation; the field from
which he must choose his new timber
is questionable:
Paterson, Pontius, Musser, Allmen'
dinger, Lichynor, Scott, McIIale will be
missing from the Michigan line
Among them are some of the best line
men ever developed at Ann Arbor.

WHY PELKEY LOST TO SMITH
Couldn't Resist Temptation to Revert
to Old Manner of SIuasing-De-
feat Quickly Follows.

Tommy Burns, the one-time cham
pion of the world, who directed the
training of Arthur Pelkey for the lat
ter's New Year bout with Gunboat
Smith attributes the defeat of his pro-
tege to his (Pelkey's) irresistible de-
sire to slug.
Burns spent six months in an en-
deavor to transform Pelkey from a
swinger into straight hitter and just
previous to the fight Burns was conf
dent he had accomplished his purpose.
The strangest thing about it all is
that Burns, after his years and years
of service, both as a ring man and a

coach, should have considered the
transmutation of Arthur Pelkey's box
ing complete and not be troubled with
fears of a reversion to the old order
OF things.
Just one singing jab on the nose
caused Arthur to forget all Burns had
been to so much trouble TO teach him,
and then went right back to the old
windmill tactics he had employed in
previous fights.

LEADING OFF FIRST BASE

There is one outsider on the
Browns who should be one of
the best baserunners in the
American league says Branch
Hickey, the manager of the
American tail-enders.
That he isn't is entirely due
to himself. / have watched him
all season and ] have yet to see
him slide back to first when a
pitcher threw there"
There is little doubt Hickey
means Bert Shotten.
What does II prove when
man has to slide back to first
to beat a pitchers throw?"
1T means that he isn't get
ting a big enough lead. II
means that, instead of worrying
the pitcher and thus helping
the man at bat, the baserunner
is Understanding his own abil-
ity.
Every inch off first base
means that much less distance
to cover on the steal. and every
out at second on a fast man is
by a matter of inches.
THE baserunner should keep
experimenting on how far he
can lead off from the bag. That
will be a regular feature of our
curriculum in the south next
spring, I want every man to
take as much off first base as ne
possibly can. Then he'll help
the batter and he'll worry the
pitcher"

Demarest next tried his hand as a pro-
fessional, but his first appearance with
the pros was not encouraging. In
1909, in a tournament for the worlds
1872 championship, he finished last.
Later in the same year the young Chi
cagoan proved that he could come back
by capturing the worlds title from a
field that included such experts as
Sutton, Cline, Cassignol and Cutler.
In 1910 Demarest lost the title to
Cline. Demarests strongest point is
his masse, which the critics agree is
almost perfect.

a forehead which is guiltless of fringe.
1t becomes more and more the fash
ion to draw the hair right off the fore
head and to pile it high on the head

sees a regular fringe.
Some women still continue to wear
a soft curl or two on the forehead in

smartest society leaders have adopted
the style shown in many Of the early

strained back from the forehead and

ers continue to make great use Of pu-
tois-oT fitch-dyed TO the most vivid
shades, such as emerald green, car
mine, fiamingo red, royal blue, etc
This is curious and eccentric fash
ion but 1t really gives good effects at
times
For instance, let me describe a tea
gown recently created by one of the
best dressmakers in the rue de la
PAX for Cecile Sorel.
There was :. trailing skirt composed
of sea-green charmeuse and long
draped tunic OF oyster-white chiffon,
bordered with sea-green fitch. The
effect was exceedingly soft and lovely
and the corsage was so beautiful that
the whole robe deserved a place IN
museum.
This corsage was embroidered in
the finest possible manner in silver
threads, seed pearls, tiny diamonds
and aQuamarine stones. The embroid-
cries were so close and fine that It
was almost impossible to realize what
the material of the corsage was really
composed of.
There was a folded sash of famingo
red crepe and this touch Of vivid color
was repeated on the heels of the dain-
ty little embroidered shoes. The
buckles of the same shoes were enor-
nous and entirely composed of real
diamonds.

Eccentric Millinery.

model in grape black" velvet. The
shape bears the curious name of

This model was launched by one CT

actresses and worn at one Of the re
cent race meetings. 1t was admired
| by some and laughed at by others, but
there was no doubt but that it was
becoming to the pretty girl who had
| the courage to exploit it.
This shape bids fair to become one
of the favorite models of the spring
