generation at least
Speaking Of differing religious con-
ditions east and west he thinks the
west the more difficult, saying that
people quitting the east leave their re-
ligiOn behind. At any rate, he finds
many to have lost It by the time they
reach Colorado. BY religion he means,

the willingness to do Christian work

DIT. Mcneil keeps in close touch with
Scotland and England in religious mat
tiers. and Of them he said a day or two
ago
We had all expected that the war
would drive Scots and Britons back in
to the churches, and perhaps would
bring about temperance reform. These
have been outcomes in Russia and
France. but my advices are that they
have not been results in Great Britain.
They are certainly not results in Scot
land. The peoples hearts are untouch-

every family in mourning. while the

SOUTH HETHODISTS NOT FOR

For the convenience OF readers who
wanI 10 know Just the salient features
OF the new season styles We print the
following brief summary.
DRESS BODICES-The fitted lines are
extensively shown, but the seml-fitted
Moyen Age type is also in favor Some
Of the Russian blouse effects are retained
Misses frocks have the slightly raised
waistline. Both front and back fasten-
ings are employed.
SILHOUETTE - The tendency toward
more fitted effects above the vaistlfna
with flare below that point is a highly
important development.
WAISTLINE-The preference Is for the
normal waistline. but the high and low
wasted effects are also in evidence
TS-Seni-circuIar skirts have adon-
ton. There is some use of long tunics
Pleated effects are coming in strongly
Tailored skirts measure 21-2 10 3I-2
yards, the dressier skirts from TO
yards The slightly longer skirts will
have adoption. Distended draperfes bus
ties. and pOlOnaises are q feature of dress
long line draperies are also good. Flare
skirts hold their place and TERED and ruff
fled skirts have following
SLEEvEs-Long sleeves continue to
dominate few OF the afternoon dresses
have three-quarter or elbow length
sleeves. Close fitting sleeves appear IN
many Of the tailor mades. but in dreSsfer
garments the sleeves show fulness above
flare effects. as well as puffs at the
shoulder OF at the elbow are among the
novelties
COLLARS-The neck finishes are an I'M
portant feature High collars are in
favor. many opening at the throat Cane
Sailor and Japanese effects are also in
evidence
SUIT COATS-Both the Jared and the
straight line effects are employed The
fitted styles are being taken up. In
length the suit coats are usually from
% TO IS in. but shorter as well as longer
lengths are employed TO some extent.
SEPARATE COATS-The wide ripple eff
feet at the hem and either seven-eiehth
or tuH length are the leading STYLES in
separate coats Many show novelty in
collars and sleeves.

FARRELL TO REOPEN
DECATUR CLUB CASE

Secretary John H. Farrell of the
National association, in a letter to
James A. Corbett Of st. Louis, former
ly Of Decatur, but now of st. Louis
and head Of the Eacatur baseball club
until that organization tossed the
sponge in the ring, says that the Ma
tional association has consented TO
reopen the case Of Decatur VS.. the
Three-Eye league.
This is the case in which Mr.. Cor
bett threatened to drag the Three-Eye
league through the courts. But he
didn't do It. He decided on another
and probably better plan The ma
tional board will review the case and
give another decision on il. Mr.. Cor
bett, If the decision is not favorable,
says that he viii press the matter to

The national board heard the case
at San Francisco. There it awarded
the Decatur forfeit money Of $500 to
the Three-Eye league.

SPORT GOSSIP

That professional sport suffers per
iodicaI setbacks, no matter in what
part of the world it is staged, is shown
by the recent events both in this coun-
try and England. Baseball is Just
emerging from a season Of depression,
financial and otherwise, in this
country while in England soccer,
which corresponds to baseball in the
United States, is being subjected to
an investigation and housekeeping.
Public interest in professional soccer
has been seriously affected throughout
the British Isles, by disclosures which
involved the honesty of some of the
players. The facts were brought out at
an inquiry conducted by the Football
with the result that eight men were
permanently barred from playing.
Four of these professionals were
members of the Liverpool club, three
belonged to the Manchester United
club and the other one played on the
team Of the Chester club. No sus-
picion was attached to any officials Of
these organizations but it was proved
that certain players, conspiring to
throw the game, placed bets on the
match last season.
In England professional football
the association or soccer game-takes
the place of professional baseball in
the United States. Rugby is confined
to colleges, and cricket corresponds
to tennis SO far as public interest is
concerned. But the big association
matches draw crowds of from $4,000
to 100000 while there is no field large
enough to accommodate the people al
the final match for the English cup
in times of peace. Like professional
baseball, professional football ha.
managed to keep an untainted reputa-
ton as a general thing. But in spite
of heavy gate receipts, the British
professionals are poorly paid and
their small pay may have tempted the
accused men to make bit on the side
by dishonest playing.

MEN TO FORM BODY

New York, Jan. 1S.-As the first step
in a movement to organize national

ton for membership in the proposed

The men behind the movement in
clude leaders in the game or past or
present champions such as Francis
Ouimet, A. w. Tillinghast, John G.
Anderson, Gilbert Nichols, Alex
Smith and George Long.
One of the reasons for organization
is that the professionals desire to have
a voice in the selection Of the courses
on which the open championship of
the United States Golf association is
played II is proposed also to open
bureau where professionals may ap-
ply for situations and to which golf
clubs may send requests for instruct
ors.

THREE OF TINKER
men TO co WEST
Fisher, McLarry and SchOOr Will Pas
time in Sunny Cline on Pacific
Coming Summer.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Three more mem
bers of the Cubs passed out OF the
major league and into the minors yes
terday when President Weeghman and
Manager Tinker closed a deal with
Frank Chance and Johnny Powers,
which transferred the services of
Shortstop Bob Fisher, Utility Infielder
McLarry, and Pitcher Schoor to the
Los Angeles club Of the Pacific Coast
league.
The sale was made after the local
magnates had failed to make deal in
volving Fisher with the Indianapolis
club. About a week ago, Manager
Chance wired to Tinker and asked tor
a price on the three men named, but
no deal was made until after the north
side magnates had talked with Amer
lean Association club owners and
managers, who were here to attend
last Saturdays meeting.
Owner McGill and Manager Hend-
ricks of the indianapolis club called
upon Weeghman and Tinker yesterday
morning and after q long talk, declined
to take any of the Cubs at the price
asked. They wanted Fisher, but were
unwilling to pay as much as the locals
thought the shortstop was worth. They
wanted one or two other men of the
old west side team, but left without
coming to terms. Tinker Immediately
got busy on the wires, and before darl
had closed with Los Angeles for the
sale of the three men.
In Fisher, the Coast League club will
have a player who is bound to be 6
star, because he was almost fas
enough to star in the majors. Fisher
hit close to the 800 mark for the Cubs
| last season and had more fire and en-
ergy than any other man on the team
| He is unable to cover as much GROUND
as the average major league short
stop and only for that reason was sen
! back to the minors.
| Tinker preferred Mike Doolan a.
shortstop for his new Cub team, al
the latter is one Of the greatest de
fensive players in the game. He il
not, however, as good a batter al
Fisher.
