The newest sensation in the way of
dress has been sprung in Paris, when
one of the designers of that city
turned out an evening gown utterly
guileless of a back. All of us have
tions of the back and gowns that
were cut with V shaped posterior
bodice, the point reaching even to the
waist line. Then everyone filed pro-
test at the impropriety of the scene
of v shaped landscape of back BIZ
sected by a, more or less padded spinal
column. But the new style makes
the former shock seem mild. By COM
parison, the semi-exposed back looks
modestly draped with the amplitude
of circus tent.
This new creation of a gown has a
diminutive, jetted front of tulle, cut as
low as the national laws OF France
will permit Over the shoulders are
a few strings of Jewels that reach ) to
the low belt at the back, and hold
the front panel in place. One of
these strands reaches of the shoulders
and is caught to The side panel of the
tulle just back of the arm. The arms
also are bare.
Allowing that these gowns gain any
vogue in this country and are worn in
New York. this department will lay
a wager that a. certain Topeka matroE
who never hesiratcsi where a new
fashion is concerned, will show up at
a party within the next three months
provided there are any parties by
that time-in backless costume.

 STARS EXPECT TO
 RE TURN TO LINEUP

New York, Aug. 12-Home from their Western trip where they suf- fered severe maltreatment at the hands Of the Western clubs, the Yan- kees open for good long stay on the home grounds.
 With their ranks badly shattered from injuries to first string players, the club was mark for the Vest erners. However, now that they are again at home, they should take a brace. Connie Mack's youngsters should afford them a good chance to pull themselves together.
 Fsurthermore, Lee Magee and Hughey High will be back on the job. and their reappearance in the lineup ought to aid in batting strength of the team materially. Home Run Ba- ker may play in one of the games The return of the club will offer To- cal fandom chance to take "a first look at the work of the youngsters re- gently recalled. Among those are FL mer Miller, Urban Shocker and Angel
 Aragon. The Cuban was hurt in a game at Cleveland, but should be available for service shortly.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1886-Jim Barry, heavyweight pug Hist, born in Culberton, Mont. For several years Jim was prominent in the white hope, division, and within the last few months he has been try ing to pull off a come back. About a year ago Barry returned from England in the steerage, and enlivened the trip by several fights and by setting fire to his mattress. On his arrival in New York four cops were required to get him to the hospital. At that time Barry was a mental wreck from the cocaine habit, which had been fast ened upon him by California doctor who administered the drug for several weeks while treating a smashed hand. About nine months or so ago Jim de- cided to break the hold of the habit, and got job as a fireman on a steam- ship, making trips to England and South Africa. He succeeded in ridding himself of the terrible craving, and, restored to mental and physical health, he expects to regain his old prestige in the ring. Barry has fought nearly all the best heavyweights of the last decade, and has had no less than 16 ring arguments with Sam Langford. When Than return from South Amer ica Barry hopes to be in a position to resume the series. Unlike most of the white gladiators, Barry never lodged the black boys, and was always willing to fight anybody regardless of color or reputation.

rPennant Winning Is
 Not Hurting Crowds
 In Philad delphia Now

It has been claimed by some per- sons that 1t doesn't do for a city to have too many championships. This apparently does not apply to Phila- delphia, says writer in the Phila- deIphia Evening Telegraph. This city has had five pennant winners In six seasons, the Athletics getting in four Worlds Series in five years and then the Quakers getting into the blue ribbon event. Nevertheless the i'm terest in the national game here is evidently just as keen as ever. Evi- dence of thic was furnished when the Phillies returned from the West in third place and 12.0o0 fans turned out to see their double header with Pittsburg..
 One Saturday. when the Cubs play were not big enough to hold all of the fans who desired to get inside. The attendance that day was a little over the 1s.0c0 mark. How high 1t would have been had not the gates been closed before the first game was hal1 over, of course. no one can tell. The chances are that the attendance would have hit the 25,o00 mark.
 A good team playing good, clear bah will always draw in this city. nc matter how many pennants may be won, provided there is a worthy op. { ponent for the home team. The req. son the Athletics crowd fell off ir ' pennant winning days was because tho White Elephants outcIassed thcil opponents 50 far. that few clubs could rive them a real battle.

Vic Moran Defeated
 By Leo Johnson, New E Colored Boxing Star

New York. Aug. 11-Leo .Johnson.i the colored Aghtweight who has att tracted some attention by his work against white boxers since the lifting of the ban on mixed bouts. easily out pointed Vic Moran. the New Orleans lightweight. in the feature 10-round bout at the Harlem Sporting club. last night. It was the last local appear ance of the white boxer in this city for some time, as he is scheduled to start soon for his Southern home. and he proved rather a disappointment
 His weight was announced as 13s pounds, as against 1s2 pounds for the colored boxer, and at this figure Moran was carrying unnecessary fiesh. This was shown in, his manner of box ing. for his movements after the fourth session seemed slow and slug gish, and from that point until the finish Johnson toyed with his white opponent.

Pitcher Woodward of
 New Haven May Get
 Trial in Major League

Few Haven, Aug. 12-From talk gleaned from ball players and um- pires around the Eastern circuit Frank Woodward, New Haven's young pitcher, stands good chance of getting trial in the big show. The present season marks woodward's sec ond in professional baseball and his showing to date has more than fulfill ed the expectations of his many ad- mirers. Woodie is scarcely over the voting age. Is unusually strong and has an assortment of "stufr' that is not to be laughed at woodie has been the Murlins' most successful pitcher. Yesterday, Woodward turn ed in his second victory of the week. having beaten Portland last Monday. Woodward is the only New Haven boy on the local club.
 During the present season Wood- ward has been overlooked by some fans to some extent because of the brilliant pitching of Donovan and Weaver. The local boy. however, has had fine year and has been the clubs most consistent winner. He is one of the best hitters in the league, in addition to his qualifications as a pitcher.

CUTSHAW DOESN'T
 GET PRAISE DUE TO HIM FOR, FINE WORK

New York, Aug. 12-When arguing over the abilities of the different esec- ond basemen in the National League don't overlook George Cutshaw, the peppery little lad who is guarding the keystone sack for Wilbert Robinson. Whenever bunch of baseball bugs get together all one can hear is the great doings of Larry Doyle and John ny Evers and never a mention is made of Cutshaw, despite the fact that he is mainly responsible for the Dodgers holding the position in the race for the flag they. now enjoy.
 Cutshaw since he has been with the Dodgers never had real high class shortstop on his right to assist him in his work, while Doyle and Evers always worked with star short field CTS. I
 Although, as we said before, Cut shaw has been handicapped by a poor partner, he never became discourag- led and kept plugging along until to- day he is rated by some experts as one of the best second basemen in the game. His quiet. easy-going manner and gentlemanly spirit have won him the respect of both his fellow-players and the fans, and if a popularity con- test were held it is a safe bet the honors would fall to Hobbies keeper of Hill No. 2.
 His batting average is far below the 300 mark. but if you look up the roster of the National League you can- not find a more dangerous man in a pinch than this same ,Cutshaw. Christy Mathewson once said that he would rather face any player in the league than Cutshaw when in a dan- gerous hole. Put Bancroft or a Ma ranville on his right side and the fame of either Evers or Doyle would soon fade away.

ZIMMERMAN IS TO BE TRADED
 BY CUBS BOSS

New York, Aug. 12-Heinie Zim- merman, star third baseman of the Cubs for numerous years and National League batting champion in 1912. is on the market. Joe Tinker, manager of the Cubs, is willing to talk busi- ness with any one who would like to have Zimmerman on his club and IS willing to swap good players for him.
 Tinker says Heinie is losing interest in the game and especially in the wei fare of the Cubs. Zimmerman also got in jam with his boss for neg7 lecting to show up for morning prac- tice and the differences between the pair recently reached an acute stage when Tinker fined Heinie $50.
 When the Cubs were playing on the Polo Bounds stories that would not down were passed around to the effect that all was not harmonious between Zimmerman and the Cub boss Heinie laid off two days with stone bruise, but Tinker saw him walking around without limp and ordered him to play the last game. Since the Cubs moved over to Brook, lyn there has been new. developments, in the Tinker Zimmerman feud until Joe has announced that Heinie is on the market.
 The Giants were very anxious to get Zimmerman at one time. but with Herzog on third they would not have any room for him. Brooklyn could use him handily at either short or third. Zimmerman has been with the Cubs since 1907, but did not play regularly until 1911.

MURRAY LOSES
 TENNIS BATTLE
 TO GEO. FRENCH

:. geabright, N. J., Aug. 12.-In a match which produced tennis thrilling to behold, George M. Church yester-
 day afternoon vanquished the Cali fornia star, Robert Lindley Murray, in the final round of the Seabright in vttation tournament, and thereby gained the right to play Richard Nor rtS Williams, 2d, in the challenge ! round for the Achelis Cup today. Will Hams has already won two legs on the trophy and a victory this season will give him permanent possession of cup.
 Church won over Murray in straight sets by a score of 6-4, 6-2, S-4, but the mere repetition of those numerals hardly indicates the character of the battle that was waged. Murray may not be at his best-in fact there is lit 1, tic doubt that his game has siumped elnce the Nassau tournament-but in the mood which was upon Church 1 yesterday 1t is decidedly doubtful if 1 the Californian even at his best could ] haveJ won The former Princetonian was at his greatest height and the tennis that the gallery witnessed was worthy of such a setting as the na- tional championships.
 Church has absorbed more of the California type of game than any of the other Eastern players, go that it was battle of two men proficient at the net SnAppy volleying and hard driving were in evidence every mo- ment, and the contest teemed with in terest. It cannot be said that the ral- i lies were proionged-or the games either for that matter. Each player was out to win by the shortest and
 1 quickest route and the drives for placement fairly hummed across the 1 court. Though the score reveals that 1! the match was somewhat one-sided | struggle those who witnessed 1t will
 | remember it as one of the sharpest
 battles of the season

Fuller of Lawrence
 Has Been Hoodoo To
 New London This Year

H. Eugene McCapn. manager. of the New London team, has sufficient reason to remember one Wheeler B. Fuller. who pitches for the Lawrence team. Fuller not alone put a crimp in Gene's team when Lawrence and New London played the Inter-league series in 1914, but he has defeated New London five times this season and he has been responsible. more than any other pitcher; for driving New Lon don out of first place in the league race and then when out of the leading position he has kept the Planters run ners-up.
 Fuller has been jinx for McCann. In fact. he has been a thorn in his side. When McCann read Sunday where Fuller pitched at Lynn Satur-1 day he was in high spirits. but when he saw the ''soldier boy warm up Monday he was a very much chagrin- ed young man. He lad a reason-for he knew it meant defeat for his boys. Lawrence Eael;

JOHNSTON, SPEEDY BR0OkL YN FIELDER,
 FOUND BY EBBETS

New York, Aug. 12-The Brooklyn 9au club has q number of scouts. Each year they send up to the Dodgers . tlqck Of recruits. The most promise 1ng youngster the Flatbushers have picked up since Jake Daubert came 1s Jimmy Johnston. Jimmy was picked up by Charles H. Ebbets him. self.
 Johnston has played great ball in the Dodger outfield this year. He has played fine defensive game and ! haS hit well and run the bases with apeed and judgment. Many rate him n the most valuable of the Dodger outer gardeners. Ubbets Twas out on the Pacific coast 1 1ast winter attending a minor league conference, when he heard. that John ston had decided to leave the Oakland club of the Coast league and jump to the Federals. He was interested fin Johnston, because he remembered
 the White Sox.
 The Dodger owner went to the own
 CT of the Oakland club and asked foI
 permission to negotiate with Johnston
 He was granted this permission. The ! terms upon which Johnston was to bt sold Were to be decided when the
 player expressed his willingness to g to Brooklyn
 Ebbets found Johnston playing bal down in the California winter league The outielder had already accepted tentative terms from the Newark Fed eral league club and received $1,00t advance on his salary.
 After he had talked with Ebbets fol i . while. Johnston admitted that h. had made a mistake and declared hi readiness to go to Brooklyn He ask ed that MT. Ehbets give him the $1, 900 bonus that. he had received from | the Feds, 50 he could repay the New ark club. He asked for salary Q $3.O00.
 I The terms were satisfactory to th' 1 Brooklyn club and 1t looked as If tn deal was closed. Then came . hitcl over the contract at the last min ! ute.
 Johnston wanted two-year docu !. ment without release clause. Ebbet a1esitated about giving it to him
 Therefore it was some weeks afte l the training season got under wa. T before Johnston reported.

GIANTS CLEAN UP
 ST. LOUIS TWICE IN DOUBLE HEADER

New York. Aug. 12-As a sort of grand finale to their stay at home, the Giants took both ends of double, header from the St. Louis Cardinals at the Polo Grounds yesterday. They won the first encounter by a score of to 8. The second game was call- ed at o'clock in order to allow the visitors to catch train. Seven in- nings had been completed and the Giants led by g score of 2 to O.
 Anderson started the first battle. with Meadows as his opponent, Mc- Graw's, spit-baller didn't get very far. In the second frame the enemy she'll ed him from the slab. Then Slim. Sallee appeared and just slow-baile4 his old comrades to death. He pitched only one or two fast balls during his occupancy of the mound, and those were only fast by comparison.
 Meadows wore his spectacles and gave a very scholarly exhibition of the twirler's art. Had it not been for lack of assistance on the part of some of his team mates and the hit- ting of Arthur Fletcher. the St. Louis boxman would have cantered in 8 winner. f7f tf 0,
 The second game was in the naturel of a pitchers battle between Jeff Tes-- reau and Watson. The latter got away to a bad start. but was effective after the opening inning. Tesreau had one of his good days. His splitter was breaking for him and he had plenty of smoke. The Ozark Bear held the Westerners to single and double in seven innings and only five of them reached first. The Cardinals hit just four balls out of the infield.

DECLARE EASTERN CIRCUIT WILL BE
 SPLIT NEXT YEAR

In the following story published in the Lowell Courier-Citizen, Manager Billy Hamilton of Worcester declares the Eastern league will split into two parts in 1917.
 "To the writer, Hamilton talked in- terestingly about Eastern league af- fairs. There is more interest along the circuit as the season wanes." said Hamilton, "and we may be able to pick up some of the money we drop ped in the eara1y stages. While I am of the opinion that a 10 club cir cult is failure. I believe that we would be far better off had we re- ceived a square deal from the wealth CT fellow during the first two months of play. We are drawing we'll in Worcester just now, and will continue to get our share of patronage, for we have shaped up pretty good team and the fans like it. We'll give them all fight.
 Next season, I expect to see two leagues formed, with trolley riding a feature. Under the present arrange ment, the railroads and hotels get far more than the league can afford to pay. and this is true especially in wet weather when players hotel bills have to be met
 With trolley riding, such bills would be omitted. for the moment a game was declared postponed, the players would return to their homes. There may be a different plan evolv- ed as time passes, but just now, sen timent favors the two-league proposi- tion. Certainly, Eastern league own CTS will never go through another sea- son with a 10 team circuit"
