at present.
Alex Mccarthy is playing a grand
game at second base.
Covelskte is the stay of the Detroit
pitching staff at present.
Washington, with team in the first
division, is drawing poor crowds.
Lee Foil is certain he will develop
Grover Lowdermilk into a dependable
hurler.
1t doesn't always follow that a ball
club is on the market when it's under
the hammer.
The venerable and doddering Nap
Lajoie seems to have slumped into his
second clouthood.
ED" Walsh, famous pitcher of the
White Sox, is seeking a job as a mi.
nor league umpire.
The great showing of the Grants
pitchers reflects glory on their coach,
G. Sebastian Doom.
Lee Fohl isn't much of a manager.
He is just poor simp who has piloted
team into first place.
Three-Finger Brown is to retire from
baseball at the close Of the present
season, according to report.
A recent report is that Benny Kauff
leads Ty Cobb in everything but bat
ting, fielding and scoring runs.
Elmer Knetzer, who has been on
trial with the Reds, has been taken
over permanently from the Braves.

respect for him with runners on bases.
Ellis Johnson, former White Sox
pitcher, is doing great work for the
Vernon team Of the Pacific Coast
league.
Fielder Jones may be speaking the
truth when ho says he has a good
team, but we haven't seen him out
driving yet.
While the makeshift outfield is work
ing pretty we'll for Cincinnati, Charley
Herzog is looking far and wide for an
outfielder or two.
Rodriguez, the Cuban first baseman,
who could not hit with the Giants, is
going at 800 clip for New London, in
the Eastern league.
Heine Zimmerman has played such
consistent ball for the Cubs this year
that he has lived down all the mean
things said about him last year.

Although it is 16 years since Roger

LEE FOIL COACHES AT THIRD
Manaqer Stations Himself at Proper
Place for Use of Good Judgment
and Intelligence.

Lee Fohl is spending lot of time
on the coaching line at third base,
which is the place for the use of judg-
ment and intelligence in the coaching
of a team. That is the point where
the base runners must be guided as to
the location of the ball, which they
cannot see, and for this reason Foil
seldom coaches anywhere but at
third

Low Makes Longest Hit.

Fletcher Low, the former Dartmouth
player who was sent to Springfield of
the Eastern league by the Boston
Braves in order that he might get
some needed experience, recently made
the longest hit ever seen in Bridgeport
when he poled the ball over the left
field fence with the bases full, and
won q gaIue.

The Baltimore club having failed to
secure Jack Ness from the Chicago
White Sox, Jack Dunn went out and
bought Allen Russell from the SYRIA

Crude Oil is a good remedy for hog

The Quaint, Quilted Sacque.
Quilting is the very last word in
fashion now, and is the successor of
shocking which is beginning to be a
bit passe. There is a fussy, over
dressy suggestion about quilting which
marks it as a Victorian revival, though
quilted petticoats were worn in Col
onial times under Topped up panniers
of Powered silk. Shocking was rather
difficult of requirement by unskilled
fingers but anybody can do quilting
all one needs is the ability to make
tiny, even stitches and a needleful
of silk thread. All quilting is done
with silk. even on a cotton fabric,
for cotton thread would not run
smoothly enough in the tiny stitches
and sufficiently fine cotton to make
such little stitches would not be
strong enough. The quilted sacque in
the picture is made of white soiree
silk, quilted with white sewing-silk
and sacque and sleeve are in one, the
quilting being done straight across

mesh to don when one lounges for
an hour or two between formal en-
gagements. The well fitted corset
would not do for the lounging hour

will bear steaming but once a week:
and always, some soothing cream
should be rubbed in after the process
and cold water should be dashed on
vigorously in the morning to close the
pores and make the skin firm.
There are two ways of steaming
the face; with a bowl of hot water
and with hot fiat iron covered with
wet cloth. The latter method is
illustrated, though for convenience in
taking the photograph an unheated
iron was used. 1t would, however, be
easier for most women to stand the
hot iron, covered with a wet towel,
on an ironing stand set on a table,
and to sit with the face held close to
the steaming vapor. For the water

so hot that the steam rises we'll from
it. Lean over the bowl and draw

over the edges of the bowl so that

face with the f1ngertips, pinching ii
gently all over brow, temples, cheeks
and chin not forgetting the portion

bowl for several minutes is apt to be
firing to the back, some women will
choose the hot iron and wet towel

The moment the -steaming is
over, pat the face lightly with a dry
towel to remove the excess of mois-
ture and then apply cold cream lib
orally, working it in with the finger
tips After this you may go to he'd
and sleep the sleep of the just. And
DO not forget the dash Of cold water

treatments the face should begin to

the fabric, from selvedge to selvedge
before the sacque is cut out. 1t will
be necess .ry to make a seam down
the center back, for the quilting takes
up the material and one breadth
would scarcely cut back and sleeves
in one piece; but the seam at the
back will not show in the quilted eff
feet. Do not try to run the tiny
stitches in straight rows by the eye,
for they will certainly run crooked
and the effect will be entirely spoiled
The best way is to do the quilting from
the wrong side of the material, first
ruling light pencil lines at an even
distance apart and following them
carefully Take long threads of silk
and run all the lines with tiny
stitches, without attempting to rather.
When all the stitches have been set
the ends of the silk may be drawn
up and the gathers stroked lightly
to give the quilting a uniform effect.
The sacque is lined with white chif-

with braided ribbon. Use for this
No. 2 white satin ribbon and three
strands will be required to make the
braiding. For finishing the sacuue
and trimming the cap you will need
at least twenty yards of the narrow
white ribbon. In flesh pink, palest
blue or corncolor, this quilted sacque
would be equally charming.
Corncolor For The Boudoir.
So many pale yellow negligees are
being displayed in the shops nova
days that one wonders if all the
boudoirs are being done over in corn
color, daffodil and tulip shades, for
of course no woman of sensitive color
sense would dream of wearing vel
low negligee in a rose pink or tur-
quoise boudoir. Yellow is a charm
ing color for the negligee-provided
the shade is pale yellow and the wear
er's skin has no yellow tints. There
are not many women who can wear
yellow in garish daylight. though by

remove the cucumber bleach and go
to sleep. In the morning battle the
face with warm water and then with
cold water. The cucumber treatment
may be applied for an hour during
the day, if preferred, while you take
your after-luncheon rest.
There is famous Irish bleach for
making the skin lily-fair-a bleach
which has as its basis the humble
Irish potato. Several famous Irish
beauties have used this bleach and
have vouched for it's beneficial quail
ties. Boil a good sized potato in its
Jacket until quite soft; peel and put
the potato on to boil again mashed
with a little water. Stir until you
have pulp. This is to be used as

and allowing it. to dry on. Then the
face should be bathed with sweet milk
and busted with powdered cornstarch.
1t is said that If this bleach will not
make the skin white, nothing will.
1t is worth trying any way.

skin in this process, but pass the iron
back and forth until the towel Is al
most dry. Then apply cold cream,
as after the face steaming, and bind
up the arms in strips of old linen for

Freckles are harder to get rid of
than tan. Indeed there is only one
good way to keep the skin free of
freckles-and that is to keep it pro-
tected from the sun. The woman with
delicate skin should wear a long
sieeved and high-necked bathing suit
and wide-brimmed bathing hat: and
parasols and brown chiffon wells
should form part of the summer
out-of-door wardrobe. The moment
freckles come on arms, face or back
of neck, they should be treated
copiously with lemon juice and then
cold cream, for once permanently
established in the cuticle they will
make lifelong blemish.
