By LADY MARY

London. August 26.--As a month Au-
gust has always been "countd out" as
far as London's fashionable doings are
concerned, but this year we have
changed all that and although there
are no evidences in the way of din
ners or dances of Importance at town
houses or smart restaurants, every
where in the streets and in the parks
is to be noted the fact that every
body's in town" Specially is this the
case O. mornings in the park. In those
long distant ages before the war Hyde
park and its various tributaries and
dependencies was considered "out of
bounds" by anybody who wanted to be
thought really modish. Of course it
was motoring that made this change.
Nowadays, however, the park is once
more the fashion and now that riding
is again an amusement that all ages
OF men and women rejoice in, once
again the row might almost serve as
suggestion for picture such as Vic
torian artists loved to paint in the
days when 1t was considered "the
thing" to ride from until II every
morning round the tan ring that sur
rounds the drive in Hyde park.
RIDING IN VOGUE
I strolled from Alexandra Gate,
which is near to Knightsbridge, down
to Hyde park corner the other morn
ing and found the quick moving pro-
cession of riders and promenaders
nest interesting and amusing. Near
~ all the girls in the row were riding
astride and most of them wore their
4 broad brimmed riding hats held under
the chin with neat leather bands, quite
a la militaire. A good many hard
riding old ladies, who evidently were
taking their exercise as duty as
we'll as a necessity, were pounding up
and down on stout cobs, while an inn
mense number of officers were
breaking in" their steeds to all sorts
of PAGES and maneuverings. Several
french officers in pale blue tunics
with red breeches and long boots
looked very smart and bright as they
set a smart pace under the trees and
a. group of square shouldered Russians
presented a very fine appearance III
their pale tan-co1ored coats with gold
epaulettes and dark breaches with a
narrow red stripe down the leg.
ROW WAS CROWDED
The path by the side of the row was
crowded also, for 1t is the hour when
many of the wounded officers are al
lowed to take a stroll under the guar
dianship- of feminine relations or sweet
hearts. Nurses in pretty uniforms and
an occasional smart looking naval
imam add to the charming coup d'oeil
that greets the eye. There is a craze
just now among London women for
tulle scarfs which they wear. to my
mind, on very inappropriate occasions
attached to the most inharmonious cos
tunes. I saw Lady Carnwath, for in
stance, strolling with a wounded Of
ficer With her neat navy blue cloth
costume and big stuff sailor hat she
wore a pink tulle scarf wound twice
round her neck, and then tucked into

Paramount Importance
in Children Shoes
Bring the Children to Be
Properly Fitted

The Importance of properly fit
ting Shoes for children cannot
be over-emphasized. By fitting
children with Shoes made over
correct orthopedic, nature
shaped which permit the
growing foot to develop as ma
ture intended, we eliminate any
possibility of foot troubles later
on. Our Children's Shoes are
the result of years of experience
and are scientifically construct
ed to give the utmost support
and aid to the growing foot.
The latest arrivals in Children's
Shoes are $500 to $500.

they really never mix well-but APP
parently this fact does not deter the
London mondaine from blending the
two on every possible occasion. Mrs.
Waldorf Astor was also to be seen in
the crowd and she likewise wore with
her grey cloth coat and skirt a float

quite becoming, but was surely too
vcluminous and flimsy to quite accord
with the smart simplicity of her cos

TANKS TAKE
 BEATING FROM
 BROOKLYN CLUB

New York, April 12-Brooklyn yes terday badly trounced the Yankees in the second and final game of the series between the two local teams. The victory gave the Robins an even break on the series, the Yankees hav- ing won the only other game played between the teams by to 2. The ultimate result of the Robins triumph over the Col. Ruppert-Capt. Huston contingent yesterday was to 2.
 Outside of a couple of spectacular catches, it was a ragged game and more on the order of bush league playing than of the big league va rtety. Frank Gi1hooIey, the little right fielder of the Yankees, took all the joy out of the pastime in the first inning by making a glorious huff of Cut shaw's high fly and allowing two runs to score.
 Not only did the Yankees lose the game, but Donovan came near losing the services of Wal1y Pipp, his bud ding first baseman- In the first in ming Pipp, in going after Getz's foul fly, ran headon into the iron railing and was/jolted back.
 For a. second or two it looked as if MT. Pipp was a badly damaged young man. But he chung to the ball and resumed his position at first after re- gaining his breath It was a great catch
 The other great fielding stunt was accomplished by little Hughie High, who supplanted Fritz Maise1 in cen ter field in the fifth inning. High made a spectacular >shoestSing catch of Cut shaw's low liner, turning several somersaults, but coming up with the ball tightly c1utched in his hands.
 The game was. a wa.Ikover for Rob- bfe's flock They grabbed three runs off Pfercey in the first inning, three more in the third and another in the fifth. Piercey vacated the. box this inning and Mogridge. the lefthander, replaced him The southpaw was more effective than Piercey and man aged to stop the scoring.

Harry Cornen and Gus Knorr of Norwalk, bought the Bridgeport base ball franchise today. The price was not stated but 1t is understood to have known in this $ity as a former mem Der of the Bridgeport club while knOrr is prominenttin Norwalk sport ing circles. The new corners have plenty of money and will spend it to give the fans a, lively club.
 Knorr said today that he. had not decided who the playing manager would be. Several well known players are after the job and one will be signed in few days. Work will be in good condition and although the time is short the new corners expect to have everything ready for the opening the Eastern league season April 28.
 After a long conference with Rem fngton Arms officials, Cornen and Knorr could not reach any agreement regarding the sublease of the park for use of the Arms teams. So the Bridge port club will go along without giving the Remington people joint use of the park. It is said that Industrial league will p1ayp reliminary games at New field although there is a possibility that the Remingtons may conse to terms later.
 Although ten or twelve players have already been signed for tryouts, ne- gotiations will be started at once to get players of known ability. Ed wards, who played with New Britain nj the old. Eastern association, has f been signed for the @outfeId. He is youngster who can hit hard. George Moshier of this city has also been signed for an OutdeId candidate With in a. few days the club will open a business office in the center of the oaty. .5

.INGlIS STARS AS
 RIBBONS LOSE IST GAME TO NORWALK
RvW Wagner.O

Jack Ing1is of Carbonda1e, Pa, ap- peared. on the local Basketball horizon last night for the first time and the verdict of the jury was that Jack should be sentenced to stay with us in all future games. It wasn't Inglis' fault that the Blue Ribbons didn't beat Norwalk last night in the first game of the series for the state cham pionship.
 Ing1is can make the ball do every thing but talk. Ha juggles it around like a. vaudeville performer and ap- peared to have a great eye for the basket in spite of the fact that many of his shots missed by inches. In the second half Ipg1is did the foul shoot ing and taIlied four out of five att tempts. He caged two from the floor. l The Ribbons lost the game by A to 2s because they played as five in | dividua1S against a team of smoothly working veterans. Norwalkf had four of the Sheepshead. Bay team and Ma | lone at center. The visitors played brilliantly in the first half. Their passing was great. Dreyfuss and Ma lone were the individual stars while Murray also did well. The Ribbons l had Chief Muller and the old boy was in good form
 In the first half the Ribbons were completely at sea. They could not kstop the Norwa.1k stars who rolled up | a, lead of 24 tOs8 when the period end; ed. When Becknaan was changed to center and Muller went to forward things improved with the locals They scored 20 points in the second period l and held the enemy even. ~Beckman, who had been going poorly, suddenly braced5 and shot six goals. Swenson was a bear for the Ribbons but Leon ard didn't do much. With little more practice the Ribbons will be able | 1,oJd +ba haffer In the preliminary the Go1dE five beat the Al1-stars ss to 30.
