GOOD TASTE RULES
MILLINERY REALM
FOR THIS SEASON
Few Bizarre Models of
Hats on View-Fo orbidden
PIumage Again in De-
and-Black Popular.

This appears to be a season when good
taste rules. so far as millinery is con-
cerned. There is very little of the bizarre
or the outre, and the models might be
I classified under two heads and ranged
either with the smart or the picturesque.

/ ostrich feathers are used again in all
! thier old beauty and without the neces-

| Black seems to predominate rather than

! of the other materials of which hats are

While there is distinct elegance in hav-
ing the hat match the gown in color,
there is the practical value of the black
hat 10 make it desirable, for it can be
worn with different gowns of opposite
colors.
The preference for velvet on year and
not another must come from sheer tickle
ness of heart, for il is doubtful IL felt
or velOurs or silk or satin can ever be
quite so becoming as the velvet hat.
The Little Corporal the tricorne, the
Scotch bonnet. the Russian turban and
the pot hat are the names by which we
know the smaller hats

1t is only by some detail that we can
recognize this last as belonging among
the present-day models, for the shape of
the crown and the width and the tilt of
the brim are just what they have been
many times before.
1t is a style of hat that is very sus-
ceptible to the attentions of the ANA
teur. To sit before mirror and to place
the trimming where 1t is most becoming
is almost certain to produce the most
effective hat.
The two feathers that droop over the
brim of the hat illustrated are placed with

mauve. The little trcorne is of black
satin, with rose gold braid holding up
two of the three sides, the bow of the
braid as an ornament at one end and a
military cockade at the other.
The third hat pictured has the wide
brim of the cannoter or sailor hat but
1t is slightly oval in shape and droops
slightly from the crown to the outer
edge of the brim
1t is made of black velvet. The white
feathers are of the fantasie order, but
they are placed at regular intervals
about the crown in a perfectly conven-
tional manner.
These three hats are quite typical of
the seasons modes and they are all we'll

There was a real game of ball yesterday afternoon at Redwood. It was fiercely fought affair all the way and interesting to high degree It marked the third consecutive victory for the Barons. Have they hit their stride?
 The score was ! to 2 but the game was not as lcpsided as that as both teams played evenly The Barons got 12 hingles but several were of the scratch variety and made one error while the Billikens garnered eight hits. including a home run. three-bagger and some other solid smashes and made two errors. There were five passes distributed during the entire game by the hurlers of both sides.
 The feature of the game was the work of Charlie Bell, the recruit third baseman of the Barons He accepted every chance cleanly at third-makng several sensa- tional catches of high fouls and In first of the eight made a great stop and throw to first for the final put out.
 At the bat Charlie Bell also won stellar honors. He tripled in the second inning and scored on Ellam's tap to short. He got free transportation in the fourth stanza and singled sharply in the sixth and flied out to deep right in the seventh. His batting average for the day ,667-not at all bad for a youngster.
 In fact 1t was freely remarked about the stands that Mcdonald, Charlles Carroll and Herndon had better looked to their laurels and incidently another job if Bell continues to play third and bat as he did yesterday. Bell looked like a 5000 bill and if he continues to show class he will play himself out of the league.

 There was no one on the bags when Snedecor made the circuit clout and Me Dowel and Kleinow both flew out to Magee on hard chances.

 On the first ball pitched by Buseher Marcan stole second. Covington trpled scoring Marcan. and scored himself on a balk. Mcbride was "heaned.' Ma gee was safe on an error Tragesser tapped to Elwert and was out at first. Thus ended a threatened slaughter.
 
 There were three double plays made yesterday and the game came under tn two-hour mark. It was Class A baseball
 Robertson was steady all the way. He was touched for homer in the fifth by Snedecor and triple in the sixth by Jud Daly who also scored. This was all the damage garnered off his delivery.

 The first change adopted by the Southern league arbiters, and one which it is believed will render the local pro- test null and void, provides that a run her, or runners, are to be allowed two bases if an opposing player throws his glove at a thrown ball, and three bases If at a batted ball. whether or not the init strike the sphere. The official rule specifics that the glove must stop the ball before any penalty is provided, but Judge Kavanaugh's arbiters have agreed to penalize the attempt
 The other change made in the SCOT ing rules provides that in case of an infield fly the ball shall be dead as soon as it is hit and play automatically suspended until the pitcher has taken his position again in the box. Under the official scoring rules the runner is out on an infield fly with none or one down and the first two or more bases occupied, but the batters in case of error or wild peg on drawn throw are at liberty to advance.
 According to Umps Rudderham the two changes were made so to tighten the work of the umpires who will no longer be forced to decide whether or not a thrown glove strikes a ball or watch two or more bases after an in- field fly is canght.
