The Western Advantage

This shows the heavy schedule advan-
tuge held by Western clubs. provided they
can reach home sod fairly close TO the
front. II Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, for
two examples, can reach September only
a stride or two from the top, they will
carry heavy advantage against such
clubs as Brooklyn. Boston and Philadel-
phia, who will be forced to struggle most
of the way far from their bases OF sup
piles, viz, the supporting war whoops of
the home town fans If Philadelphia,
Brooklyn and Boston are to raise any
steady pennant hope, they must come IL
September with an open space between
their standings and those of the West,
especially when the dope Is considered
that neither Philadelphia nor Brooklyn
has been overly triumphant in the land
where the sun very frequently sets
through force of habit gravity or desire.

Santuc, Nov. 3.-On Saturday af-
ternoon the Misses Gregory delight
fully entertained at kitchen shower
in honor of Miss Kathleen Jeter, a
brlde-to-be of Nov. 9. The house wa.
tastefully decorated in autumn leaves
and chrysanthemums, red leaves and
L'African chrysanthemumS being used
In the sitting room and yellow leaves
and chrysanthemums in the dining
room. When the guests had assem-
bled, pencils and cards were passed
and ten minutes was given in which
to sketch a likeness of the groom.
Miss Jeter was judge and decided
that Miss Matte Gregory was the
best artist and she was awarded the
prize, kitchen spoon, which, in turn,
was presented to the bride-elcct.
The guests were then ushered into
the dining room, where a salad course
with chocolate was served. The din
ing table was very dainty with its
centerpiece of small yellow chrysan-
themums and ferns encircled with
green candles. Place cards with tiny
hand-painted hearts We're used and
the fortune of each young lady was
found in small envelope on the back
of each card. These were read after
the guests returned to the sitting
room, causing much merriment.
After a few minutes passed in
pleasant conversation the bride-ele
was blindfolded and all the guests
slipped out of the room. Presently
the wedding march was heard and the
