BADGE. RS DOPED To
GIVE HARD BATTLE
Team This Year Said to Be
Stronger Than the One That
Represented School Last
Year--MiIIS Back in Game.

Despite the fact that the Wiscon-
sin game next Monday afternoon will
be the first of the season it is expected
that the battle will be one of the best
on Notre Danes card The game
will start promptly at O'Clock.
Dope is now going the rounds as
to who will start the game on the
pitching mound. Coach Harper has
said no more than that he expects to
use two hurlers against the Cardinals,
but Sheehan and Wells look to be the
most likely candidates for the honor
of lifting the lid on the slab. Both
men seem to be in good form and
should work we'll against the visitors
Wisconsin has prospects for an even
stronger team than that which repre-
scented the Madison university last
year. The Cardinals were just nosed
out of the championship of the con-
ference by Chicago last year.
The fact that Wisconsin is a con-
ference team adds special interest to
the coming game, as it will give the
fans a chance to compare the merits
Of a conference nine and Notre Dame.
In yesterday afternoons practice
game at Cartier field the regulars won
a rather easy game from the scrubs
Dorwin. who hurled for the losers,
pitched a good game. but his support
was wabbly at the start and the reg
ulars COPIED off a good lead.
Heine Berger pitched in his first
game Of the season yesterday, twirl-
regulars. The veteran showed good
form. Cassidy, the South Bend boy,
finished the game for the regulars and
gave a classy exhibition.
Rupe Mills, the veteran infielder
was out for the first time in 10 days
and played at first base. Despite his
recent illness he showed up in good
form and banged out one safe hit.
Ernie" Burke was back in the out
field and il is probable that the lit
tie fellow will be used there this sea-
son.
Lathrop who was pulled in from
the outfield for n shot at second base,
continues to show great Improvement
at the keystone sack and it is begin
ming to look as though he Will be a
fixture there.
Jack Kline continues to play bril-
liantly at third base for the regulars.
His hitting and fielding has been a
feature Of the practice games. Mel
Edward, who is being used N left
field in Lathorp's place. is also show
ing Improvement Edward is a pretty
outfelder and his base running has
been great during the practice games.
He Is a little weak in hitting as yet.
but if he gets his batting eye. he
should develop into a stellar outer
gardener.
Shorty" Mclaughlin, one Of the
catchers. suffered painful injuries 10
two of his fingers yesterday during
the game While the wounds are not
serious. they are painful anu will
keep him out of the game for ftw
days. Jimmy" Boland, one of the

At present smart footgear occupies

smaller details of n costume will in
vest in a large selection OF shoes. for
almost every gown demands harmonic
ing shoes.
One of the newest ideas introduced
upon smart slippers for afternoon and

clasps about the ankle in bracelet
form. There are also jeweled ankle
straps-not the stiff metal bands OF
other days. but flexible straps of rib
bon or satin. with jeweled slides.
In the fall high boots with wrinkled
tops will be worn. They are fashioned
of soft feathers and extend half way
to the knees.
Embroidered lesgings and CATERS
also be worn. and with all foOtgear
stockings OF color to match the
gown are favored. The vogue for
black and white however. mates
white stockings the correct color to
wear with black shoes.
