Rebels Wallop Pipersyille Team.

There was one Watertown team that
managed to get the long side of a base
ball score yesterday. They were the
Watertown Rebels who won a 6 to 4
game from the Pipersville team.
Senator Thomas of the Water
town Rebels celebrated Sunday by pi-
loting his mates to victory over the
strong Pipersvil1e club at that place
allowing only four hits and striking
out fifteen men. "Shrim' Bahr, the
Rebel catcher displayed the gameness
of a blooded fighting cock in receiving
the slender Senator's" slipping slants
which almost tore off his glove.
The Rebels have been strengthened
and have an infield that is hard to
! beat. Simon and Forkenbridge pulled
off a double play in the ninth that was
a hard raiser. Woelffer and Hills,
pitched for Pipersville and played a
very good game

Baseball however was not the only
sport in which Johnson excelled.

The ~tri-color team won the Central A.

Good Example.
Tufts is a good example of the carly
development of a small eleven. When
Tufts invaded the stadium at Cam
bridge recently there were few who
anticipated a defeat for Harvard. The
majority viewed the game as an early
season romp for the Crimson. Instead
Tufts won by a Z to 3 count.
Critics were at a loss to understand
whether the upset was due to weak
ness on the part of Harvard or strength
on the part Of Tufts until Tufts invad-

There was a time in football, and 1t
wasn't so long ago. when If a so
called small team defeated an eleven
representing one Of the larger colleges
or universities 1t would have been
guilty Of lese majesty. 1t was seldom
that 1t happened. Occasionally, of
course. inc Of the big teams came a
cropper in ar e~arly-season clash, but
for the most part the games served
the purpose for which they were sched-
uled-namely, the mediums whereby
coaches gradually developed their
charges for the feature games Of the

But In recent years these smaller
elevens have been scoring victories
over their bigger rivals more frequent

S%warthmore, Lafayette, Lehigh, Col

developed power enough to score vic

The choice lies now between white
or black Grape for those who are called
upon to observe a period Of mourning.
1t Is the material and not the color
which has significance. Custom has
made Grape the insignia Of mourning;
this makes 1t possible to wear white
instead of black, and removes the OBJ
lection of sombreness. But Grape hats
are worn for shorter periods than
those Of mourning silk. which usually
follow them. 1t Is admissible to wear
silk during the whole period which is
to be observed.
In the picture given here three hats
in this particular kind Of millinery are
shown. One Of them Is of white Grape
made on a sailor shape Of medium size.
The frame is smoothly covered and
the effect Of a double brim is given by
a shaped piece Of Grape with corded
edge overlaid on the upper brim. The
hat has a soft crown and Is trimmed
with roses and leaves made Of the
Grape. Wells Of white net edged with
narrow borders Of Grape are made for
wear with hats Of white Grape. and
they are also In white.
An elegant small turban Of black
Grape Is pictured, worn with a scarf
like cape to match and a semicircular.
The veil Is Of fine Brussels net Dor
dered with Grape. Grenadine or silk
may be used for the cape. The collar
and border are plain folds Of Grape.
