BY MAYBELLE MORTIMER.

The girl who is to be married just
after Easter will wear more floral
decorations than have been permissi-
BILE for some seasons.
Many of the new bridal robes are
made Of the 'flimsiest materials, while
other girls prefer to keep up to the
conventional satin or brocade.
One of the new costumes is made
of white chiffon over white satin with
wreaths of white roses and orange
blossoms about the tunic. Almost all
the wells are put in cap fashion in
wreaths of orange blossoms about the
face.
Bridal bouquets are larger and
more elaborate than ever.
Rhinestone buckles are worn on
the white slippers, and, although the
neck of the brides bodice is cut
slightly low, the best taste decides
upon long sleeves.

Thaw, in a decision handed down by
Judge James w. Over in orphans

titled to the money, although alienists

Pittsburgh Man Leading New
~ AZ ~ AZ AZ
York; Federals Are Joyful

Robert 3. Ward, the millionaire
baker of Pittsburgh, who is said to be
the head of several local bread trusts,
is the man who has shocked the mag
mates of the National and American
Leagues more than any one else ex-
cept J. A. Gilmore, president of the
Federal League.
For it was Mr.. Ward who has put
up the money for the entry of the
Federal League into New York. He
closed deal the other day by which
he took a ten-year lease on Washing
ton Park, Brooklyn, the old home of
tho National League there. Inasmuch
as the park. Is within thirty minutes
ride of the downtown section of New
York city, where most of the baseball
patrons come from, his action Is vir-
tually the same as placing a club on
Manhattan Island. In fact. Washing
ton Park, though across the East river
is really nearer Manhattan than the
Polo Grounds. which Is so far north
on the island that the trip there from
down town requires nearly fifty min
utes on the elevated line.
After the Federal League had
broken into Chicago the next place OF
lnlpOTtduCo W give IL StdhuiilB woe
New York city. The location of a club
there placed it alongside the two
major leagues. Had Chicago and New
York been left out many baseball men
would have been inclined to place the
new league in class with the Inter
national and the American Association.
If Mr.. Ward can put a winning
club in Brooklyn he will have consid-
erable advantage over the National
League club, for his grounds are much
more conveniently located, and the
Brooklyn club has been so far down in
the wining list that it has come to be
something of joke.

New York, Feb. 17.-In a special
column for errors of judgment some
of the recent occurrences In the base
ball war" would force the names of
officials In organized baseball. 1t de-
Veloped yesterday that the Federal
League contingent came to New York
last week on the invitation of Thomas
Al. Chivington, president of the Amer
lean Association, who saw chance to
end the Federal League expansion by
turning over to Charles Weeghan, Of
Chicago, and James A. Gilmore,
franchise In the American Association
on the understanding that the Federal
League would cease its activity. The
National Commission killed that
scheme, figuring that if the Federal
League could be bought off with q
franchise In class A. A. 1t was not
worth seriously considering as an op-
ponent, the national committee, much
to the chagrin of Mr.. Chivington.
At his home in Louisville, Mr.. Chiv-
ington is now trying to comfort him
sell with the knowledge that he made
all possible overtures to movement
that is now recognized as more than
merely threatening. Until all chances
of an agreement with all organized
ball had banished, the Federal
Leaguers did not uncover the financial
backing of Robert B. Ward, the friend
ship of Henry c. Frick and the possi-
bility of enlisting others financially
able to supply the sinews of war;
The National Commission is in sole
charge of the fight of organized base
ball against the Federals and sanction
of the triumvirate is needed to bring
about the removal of the pennant
winning Newark team of the Interna-
tional League to Ebbett's field. Ed
ward G. Barrow, president of the In
ternational League, declared yester-
day that abandonment of Newark was
suggested but not thoroughly appre-
ciated as the needed move in the fight.
