The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1914-09-20

UR feet are getting handsomer
than ever, at least our footwear
~ is becoming more and more a
thing of beauty--those OF us who arc
wonien---for style demands il. First OF
all, the trend OF style IN the skirts OF
dresses and suits, involving greater
rather than less display OF the feet
ard ankles, hay sTffsIU1affd TIC de-
nland for attractive shoes OF all types.
Then some parts Of the country have
gone dancing mad and this craze has
had more than anything else TO do
with the bringing 10 Of novel and
striking styles.
THE gUTTONED VOGUE.
IN line with this demand for smart
effects comes the fall vogue Of the
buttoned boot, type OF shoe that
gives an ininlitabie trinlness to the
foot and ankle and adds the right
touch OF chic to any costume Even
in low shoes the button and simu-
lated button effects have the best style
value
Long narrow slender lines prevail
in the fall fashions, with plain toes
preferred and the slender heei--the
Cuban Louis or the modified Louis
most stylish One secret Of success
in selecting these styles that tend
away from the normal shape OF the
foot is to get sufficient breadth. Me-
dunn round toes and medium vamps
have considerable style value in many
parts OF the country.
o THE COLOR FAD.
Striking combinations and color
ings, all within the limit Of good
taste, form the keynote of the foot

cloth in tones to match the costume.
in gray or tan suede. In iow-cut
models. too, this same bright color
tendency prevails.
Turned soles are in high style de-
n,and for drcssy use. since they fol-
low the edict OF iightness and airi-
ness that naturally follows the color
vogue and the novelty OF effect in
design. Welted soles. to be sure, are
still the thing for practical wear.
20 THE NEW coLoNIALS.
For early fall street wear as we'll
as for dress, the Colonial is very
much in favor in this country--a little
Bit different from the model of last
season Buckles arc being left off and
ornaments, when used at all, are very
small Many Of the new effects show
combinations Of materials and of col
ors just as buttoned boots do. Pat

Button ornaments, striking effects in

the Colonial charmingly different.

WHAT PARIS FAvoRs.

In Paris, where extreme styles
make their first appearance, the SAN

are meeting with approval. One OF
these, buttoned strap sandal, has a
bracelet strap around the ankle with
small ornamental buckles; the brace
let and the buttoned straps assuring

broidered is another Paris note. Sill

satin slippers show the richness with
which fashionable footwear is dec

often worn with stockings to match.

WHAT HAS TYRUS COBB

and several outside, said the manager.
They don't act much like ball play
ers." was the hosts comment
They did not act like his idea OF pro-
fessional ball players formed several
years previous from various experiences
with them That was the explanation.
Many patrons who were attracted to
the games found the players did not act
on the diamond much like their idea of
how professionals would act, and so the
game became a national safety valve for
all classes OF men. women or childr en-
who love clean sport
Has Ty Cobb contributed to that i'm
proved idea of the game or has he min
dered 1t? How many times has Tyrus

gled out a cowardly. fool-headed rooter
who had been roasting him, and took a
personal revenge by physical prowess
while clad in the uniform of the Detroit
team? Even those who sympathized
with him could not admire that process
Of reasoning.
How many first class hotels in the
country have bid for the patronage of
the Detroit team because they wanted
the honor of housing SO Illustrlous
character? We can not recall any. but
we do know OF three fairly respecta BILE
caravansaries that are no longer patron

ballplayer Of all time was alleged to be
the cause. In the third case. he fused
SO hard because the clerk would not
change his room that the team and
the hotel were divorced. although II was
by mutual agreement rather than by
request.
Cobb's fiery Southern temper has led
him into trouble more than once and
his standing alibi has been that he has
been misunderstood by Northerners who
can not appreciate the different WAYS in
which Southerners look at things. Does
this argument really enhance the pub
lies estimation of the character OF
Georgia citizens as a whole? More per
tinent to the matter under discussion is
the question: Has the description that
has been given of Cobbs various ssca-
pades on and off the field and in the
clubhouse done baseball more harm
than his wonderful ability has benefited
the game?
Lots Of people have had trouble with
their butchers-Or their wives have.

Does baseball owe Tyrus RAYMOND

grand old game?
The Washington times., 1914-08-15
Does National Game Owe Him
Anything, or Is He in Debt to
Grand Old Sport.

DETROIT. Aug 15-Baseball has
given Tyrus Raymond Cobb. the De-
troit whirlwind, a worldwide fame and
a comfortable fortune-unless he has
spent 1t.
He has been named as the greatest
ball player OF all time by those whose
opinions carry weight wherever the
American pastime is known. He has
won the Chalmers trophy. with the
highest percentage OF points ever
awarded any player. He is. perhaps. a
bigger man in his native State today
than its politicians.
In return what has Ty Cobb done for
baseball?
Has he done the game more good
than harm, or has his connection with
II been more harmful than beneficial to
a nations greatest sport?
The Georgia Peach has drawn many
thousand people through the turnstiles
OF Americas baseball plants to see him
perform Has he drawn more people by
his wonderful feats on the Held than ne
has turned away by his eccentric deeds
he has helped materially to make a for
tune for the Detroit club owners and
has nut money into the pockets OF other
diamond magnates. Has he earned Tor
them more than he has cost them In
the final footing?
as we'll known as he Is himself. but has
ne created a favorable Impression OF
the kind OF men Georgia raises? lie
has interested a lot of people in the
game of baseball because of the wide
publicity given his career. but has he
improved the general public 8 opinion OF
the sport or OF the kind OF men en-
gagged in II?
These are not impairment. but peril
nent questions.
Twenty wears ago the inability of the
powers in cCsnmand of baseball to con-
trol the actions of the unrulv element
among the players had brought the
game into such low esteem with the
general public that the club owners
were at their wits end trying to find
some way to stop the ebbing tide OF
interest 1t was unusual for hotel
of the first class to open its doors to
professional team. much less offer re-
duced rates as an inducement to tempt
that sort OF guests. Even fifteen years
ago the conditions were about as bad.
Then for a period of years there vas
n marked Improvement. The advent OF
the American League and its policy OF
suppressing unruly players did much 10
improve the publics estimation Of the
game and OF its actors The improve
ment attracted betteT class OF young
men into the sport, with the consent OF
their parents. How great tho change IN
attitude toward the men in baseball
became can be illustrated by an incident
which occurred only n few years Sgo
TO a Chicago team while on the road.
One hotel proprietor, through personal
friendship, consented to accept the pla =
ers as his guests. although his hosiery
had not courted that kind Of business

manager of the team IN the hotel lobby
and. after exchanging greetings, said:
