In The matter Of the tunic alone
there is much to be considered. We
have the round TUNES. the cutawav
iunics the mnics that are closed
and the tunics that are OPEN the
tinics that take circular lines and the
tunes that take straight lines. Among
them all, there is some one style that
Is adapted TO almost every figure but
the style must be selected with intel
ligence and care, NOT haphazard and
because it looks well upon some one
else. As a rule the open tunic with
its long straight lines or the cutawav
tunic with its Frightening lines toward
the back is the one to be preferred for
the woman who requires an effect OF
height. A straight round line is apt
TO shorten the figure vet not infrc-

need Is TO learn 70 observe truly and

most valuable assets, We can cultivate
It TO a great extent at least.

GRAND CIRCUIT HAD
SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Record of Famous Maud S. of De-
cade Ago Is Surpassed by Aver
ages of Trotters of Today.

New York, Nov. 2S.-The Grand Cir
cult season which has just closed was
the most successful and the most SEN
sational in the long and honorable his
tory of the harness game.
The racing world went wild decade
or so ago when Maud S. trotted mile
in 2:O9 3-4 During the past season 4oO
heats were trotted in time better than
the one time awe inspiring mark of
Maud S.
The average time for 4oS heats in trots
was 200 As; the average for 55S pacing
heats was 2:O6 7-I0 and the grand aver
age for both classes was Eos 36-l00
The fastest trotting average for a
single meet was 2:O7 7-lo for eighteen
heats in Syracuse, n. Y. The fastest
average for pacing was established in
Kalamazoo, Mich., when twenty-nine
heats were paced for a 2:95 Is average.
The biggest money winner of the year
was Peter Volo, the marvellous three
year-old trotter who won $ss,6ee. The
biggest pacing winner was King Couch
man, with s13,75o.
Tommy Murphy, the whirlwind reins-
man, smashed most of the existing rec
ords by winning se0,931 during the sea-
son with a string of twenty-five horses.
w. R. Cox, with twenty-five horses, was
second, and Pop Geers, with fifteen ON
his string, was third.
Peter the Great was the best sire. His

PRETTIEST PLAY OF
SEASON A failure
Maulbetsch, of Michigan. Secures Ball
on Fake Forward Pass and Runs
Into Harvard End.

One Of the prettiest plays seen on an
Eastern gridiron this year was attempt
ed by Michigan against Harvard. 1t
failed, but the fact that II failed was a
bit Of luck for Harvard.
Michigan had the ball. Splawn drop
ped back about twelve or fifteen feet
and signaled for the ball. He got IT,
At the moment the ball was passed the
Michigan right end ran into Harvard
territory and wheeled around in position
to catch a forward pass. SpIawn showed
back his arm, with the ball in his hand,
as though he were about to throw II.
In the meantime, Maulbetsch who had
been playing to right OF Splawn. sud-
denly jumped forward and took the ball
from Splawn's outstretched hand, Just
as 1t seemed, that Splawn was about
to throw II to the Michigan right end.
Maulbetsch raced toward Harvards
right end, and had taken about -FOUR
steps when the Michigan left end, run
ming toward him, took the ball from him
For a fraction of a second. it looked
as IL Michigan, with its trick play would
make a big gain, but luck favored Har-
ward. Hardly had the Michigan end
received the bail when he tripped over
some Harvard men who were directly
in front Of him-the same Harvard men
who originally had rushed forward TO
tackle Splawn and who didn't know
where the ball was until the Michigan
end fell over them.
The action was so fast that 1t be-
wildered not only the spectators but
the Crimson warriors as we'll. 1t failed
to succeed only because of Ill luck. It's
too bad Yost didn't try II again. It
might have worked. 1t was the only
real trick attempted during the game
but 1t was a pretty one.

HURRY-UP PERSON IN
ALL LINES OF LIFE
Many Amusing Instances Told of Fa-
nous Michigan Football
Coach.

New York. Nov. S-Many amusing
stories are told concerning Hurry Up"
Yost, the great Michigan coach, to show
that he Is a hury-up person In every
thing he does and that he has absolute
" no patience with delays
Once upon q time Yost invited friend
to visit him at a place where he was
camping. The friend arrived in dus
time and Yost met him with a buggy
and proceeded to drive the friend to the
camp. Yost drove his horses like he
drives his footbaIlers-fast and still
faster.
In due course OF time the buggy
reached a small creek and Yost, instead
Of driving half mile for a bridge. drove
across the little stream It was a time
saving process The horses were going
at a great clip. The buggy wheels struck
a rock and the buggy nearly upset. Yost's
friend was thrown out of the buggy and
into the creek.
Yost, who had been busily engaged in
talking and driving at the same time
never noticed the absence of his friend
until he reached the other side of the
creek. Then he pulled his horses down
to a jag, looked back, and saw his friend
wallowing in a deep pool in the creek.
Hey. whatinell you delaying things for
any way" yelled Yost. Hustle up and
get out Of that creek. Can't wait all
day"

TRAP Shooting
!. POPULAR over
100 YEARS AGO
London Sporting Magazine Of
1893 Says Pastime Had
Long Been Established at
that Date.

Pigeon-shooting, the forerunner Of
modern trapshooting. was a popular sport
in England during the last century. 1t
was mentioned In the Sporting Magazine.
London. as early as 17S3, and referred to
as having already an established repu-
tation. The 'Old Hat" famous public
house at Ealing. was for many years a
favorite rendezvous OF pigeon-shooters.
but later the Red House at Battersea
took precedence because it was more
easily accessible to Londoners. To
those who feel anxious on the subject
of pigeon-shooting." the Sportsmen's
Cyclopedia 0ondon. 1sf9 recommends a
visit to the Red House, where the busi-
ness is pursued In the first style OF ex-
cellence." Lords and captains lent an
air OF fashion to the activities OF the
place. and on the establishment of the
Hurlingham Club at FuIham the amuse-
ment was raised higher than before in
general favor. It has now been super
seded by trapshooting. the name OF which
Is OF American origin, and inanimate
targets, the product Of American in
ventiveness, have accordingly been sub
stituted for live birds
OF course. in all this history. there
have been interesting stages. The traps
in use at the ''Old Hat were shallow
boxes, each about one foot long and eight
or ten inches wide. sunk in the ground
level with the surface. A sliding I'D
was operated by pulling a string thus
liberating the bird. Among the famous
pigeon-shooters of that day was Rich
ard Toomer. to whom Mr.. johnson re-
ferred in his cyclopedia: The exploits
which R Toomer performed in shoot
ing with such apparent ease, soon con-
WINGED the persons who saw them. that
they were done methodically; and this
was completely ascertained by his fire.

then to fire and hit a small object"
In 1881 pigeon-shooting was mentioned
in the records OF the Sportsmen's Club,
Cincinnati and IN the forties and a few
decades thereafter II hourished IN New
York and its vicinity. The invention and
adoption OF inanimate targets followed.

once abandoned A Boston man, Charles

Clay discs were the next innovation. but
because they were OF unequal hardness
and because the traps were mechanical

came near giving up the ghost. Targets
are now made OF river silt and tar and

Local Feather-weight Wants
Another Chance at Kid
Marshall.
SECURES NEW MANAGER
Bob Mulhall Backing Fast Southwest
Youngster-Tex Selman Looking
for Knockout Brennan.
SECURES NEW MANAGER
Young Thomas, the fast feather-weight

Young Thomas, the fast feather-weight
fighter of this city, is out with a def
to Kid Marshall, the little boxer of the
Engineer Corps, who defeated him three
weeks ago at the Ardmore Club.
Marshall showed great ability at ring
generalship and in the seventh round
floored Young Thomas for the full count.
Thomas claims to have been over trained
and goes further and states that the
punch which the Soldier Scrapper'' put
across was of the lucky kind.
Many of the local fight fans who were
at the ringside claim that Marshall put
this telling punch through when Thomas
was backing away and that the little
soldier tucked out in getting the verdict.
Since this battle Young Thomas has
been training faithfully and is now camp
ing on the trail OF Marshall. Thomas il
willing to fight winner take all and will
come through Hith "a side bet of any
amount which may be named by Kid
Marshall.
Bob Mulhall, who is well known in
the sporting ranks in this vicinity. has
taken the management of the South
west Wildcat and is willing to back
his youngster with any amount Of cash.
When seen last night Mulhall had the
following to say about this bout:
Thomas is willing to meet Marshall
over the twenty-round route or any num-
Der of rounds he may name, and Is will
ing to concede the two pounds at the
time Of weighing in, but the articles of
agreement must call for 122 pounds at
O'Clock. will give Kid Marshall a
chance to pick up some easy change If
he thinks he can beat Walter All I
ask is that they fight winner take all
and viii be pleased IL he desires to bet
on his chances'
With Bob MulhaIl behind Young
Thomas the fast little Southeast scrap
per may come back out of the rut
Thomas has shown some remarkable abiI-
ity at the pugilistic game. and II he
had been brought along in the right
manner Washington may have been able
to claim another good feather-weight.
but in his early career he was pitted
against boys with too much experience
for him. Thomas has never been trained
in the right manner for any fights in
which he has participated. With. Null
hall behind the local lad a change will
be made in him IL there is any change
to be made.
Tex selman. the fast welter-weight Of
marked ability in three fights before
the Ardmore Club last winter, is back
in this city and is looking for a fight
with any one the management OF the
Maryland Club may name.
Knockout Brannan, of Buffalo, who
has been causing such a big noise in
the square circle up North may be
brought here to face the sailor in
the opening bout at the new club. The
arrangements for this fight have not
