past the 30-year mark-Tinker, l
think, is about 33. and Brown is about
the same--and they can't hope to
continue much longer in the big show
as players. They are doubling their
incomes from baseball for the next
three years to come, and no doubt at
the eXpirat ton of that time they will
be satisfied to retire, unless the Fed

which case they will no doubt be
able to continue as managers, if they

v Allister, the slim, quick stop
ping youth from the farthss
coast, who attended to Battling Ls-
whisky last week, was hammered to
the floor by the veteran Mike Gibbons
at Madison Square Garden last night.
McAllister went out toward the end
of the seventh round after Gibbons
had hammered an undefended jaw
for about five minutes.
While not establishing many

bowls of glee every time Gibbons

was of the opinion that 1t served him
right.
TAKEN purely as means OF In
culcating those well-known prin-
clples of rnanliness and fair play, the
battle did not assay very high, but It
was interesting as a demonstration
of the amount Of pounding a healthy
mans jaw can take before disin-
tegration sets in. 1t was also re
markable in that within ten minutes
after he had finally collapsed under
the useless torture, McA1lister was
able to leave the ring. supported by
only two or three men.
Although the contest went officially
seven rounds, all Of the real pleasure
was condensed into the sixth and
seventh rounds. For the first. Glib
bons tried all of the old, cagey tricks
OF his craft to lure the youngster
within the reach of, the killing blow
of his hooked right arm. McAllister
was some eight pounds the heavier,
several inches taller and had a pro
portionately longer reach. Gibbons
problem was to get within range, for
the long boxer from the coast was
fleet of foot and swift with his hands.
TRUE to the pitiful code of his

He did not fall so long as 1t was
physically possible for him to stand
When he could not fight, he could
sui stand up and take one or two
more heavy blows on his bruised jaw.
He held UP both hands before his face
and encouraged by the frantic shrieks
or ecstasy from the great amphithea-
ter. Gibbons cleverly pulled one weak
arm away, set himself carefully and
struck with all his might Then Nc

EPlGRAMS ON
DRESS REFORM

Here are some of the epigrams
on dress from Mrs. Robert ].
Burdette before the General
Federation of Women's Clubs
at Chicago:
Every woman who wears an
immoral gown is not neces-
sarily unchaste.
Thousands of women are
breaking their hearts, break
ing their homes and selling
their virtue just because
women have not paid enough
attention to sane gowning."
"One-half or one-third of the
average workingman's salary
is spent for his wife's clothes
this is unjust"
1T is every woman's duty to
keep as young and attractive
as possible, first for her
family and second for her
friends"

Dress and Traits
Previously In her address the
speaker said:
Miss Grace Hutchins, costume de-
signer OF Columbia University. says
the morals of a woman IRE read in
her gowns and that slovenly dress
indicates her mental traits: that the
woman who Is addicted to extreme
styles Is sure to he an extremist in
everything else. But she adds she
does not believe that every woman
who wears Immoral c,othes In nee

heves that large per cent of them

Minnesota clubwomen had placed A
standard of two yards minimum on
skirts. As a result she said a manu-
facturer was making "a Minnesota

that when she was last in Europe

according to fashion and still be
modestly gowned."
Mrs. Rudolph Blankenburg, wife Of
the mayor Of Philadelphia. said:
'Frenchmen design our clothes for
women of the underworld. All the
colored ribbons In our underwear
were designed for the underw orld

have modest. moderate comfortable
clothes. I wonder what would hap

sartorial decency is urged by the
General Federation OF Womens
Clubs In session in Chicago.
Simplicity in dress has departed.
American women are clothes-mad.
Commerce is a great arbiter of fash
ion. Reform in the interest of de-
cency is demanded. American gowns
for American women should be the
Keynote. Succinctly did Mrs. Robert
j. Burdette. OF Pasadena, Cal, urge
the convention of 5000 of Ameri-
cas- foremost women to go on record
for decency and simplicity. And
without hesitation this resolution
was passed:
Resolved That this convention.
In recognition of the rights and
privileges of the individual. places
Itself on record as heartily in favor
or the movement for simpler. more
becoming, and more modest designs
In women's clothes. and urges the
. cooperation of all 'lubs and club
women OF the federation in a con-
crete body to adopt styles of dresses
adapted to American needs and to
encourage American designers and
manufacturers"
Mrs. Burdette, in discussing mod
ern dress, spoke to an expert and
appreciative audience.
With forbidden knowledge" said
the speaker, came self-conscious-
ness, and with self-consciousness
came the sense Of shame and the
protective garment. and thus did the
transgressions of our first parents
