Closed cars are growing in popular
ity all over the country and with the
extension of the good roads system
on all sides the demand for these all
season cars promises to be greater,
for they will cease to be regarded
strictly as town cars.
1t is noticed that the new crop of
closed cars is far ahead of anything
shown in other years. In the first
place there is a tendency to lower
prices for these jobs, which hereto
fore have been in the nature of luxur-
les. Some of the permanent tops are
so made that in the summer they do
not enclose any more than the port
able tops. Then there are special
tops which can be fitted on to the
touring cars, and one factory is max
ing hit with an arrangement of this
sort which adds comparatively lit
tie to the first cost of the car.
Inside of the enclosed cars are
many little things which add to the
comfort of the passengers who can
extract every bit. of pleasure from
their rides. In addition cold, damp
ness and dirt can be barred out of
the closed car, and this feature is
worth while when one is bent on
sidestepping inconvenience.

WRISTS
SIXTH AND SEVENTH
GAMES FROM FOES
SATURDAYS OUTLOOK WAS
GLOOMY UNTIL OCKER WENT
WILD IN THE FIFTH

With lead of four runs in the first
inning and further addition of one
in the third it appeared that the
American Seaters were taking the
local independents scalps Saturday in
their sixth battle of the season. Sur
mounting the big odds, however, in the
fifth, the locals came up strong, rail-
lied to their colors, brought in eight
pelts and blanketed the whole situa-
ton.
In the big inning Mahony led off.
He drove into second station and was
out at first. Doty singled, was pass
ed to second and came home when
Voss drew first sack hit. Voss went
to second on a pass and came home
on Nolen's single through center.
Nolen was advanced TO second on
Gould's bunt, who also made the sta
ton. Hudnutt drew a pass forcing
the two ahead. McHale singled into
right scoring Nolen. Wheeler was
out when second picked his pop-up,
but left the bags filled. Two runs
were needed to tie the score when
Bailey entered the box. With two
strikes and three balls against him
Lefty" lost an old ball on a scratch
foul, necessitating the delivery of a
new one. HammeTeu square on the
nose it's course was reversed and it
went sailing high, wide and clear over
the extreme center garden. Gould,
Hudnutt and McHale came home and
Lefty" rested on the center cushion.
Mahony then waited out a pass adj
vancing Bailey to third. Bailey and
"Mac" came home when Doty FLASHED
with the pill for half-rounder. Voss
famed and the side was out.
The Seaters presented almost for
midable front at all points and were
voted the best team sent out of Grand
Rapids this year. They remained for
a second battle for honors on Sunday.

SECOND OF z DAY SET
WON ON FIELD ERRORS

Undaunted by the defeat of Satur-
day the Grand Rapids Seaters' swept
down on the local grounds Sunday and
held their positions until late in the
twelfth inning when the locals wrest-
ed the day from them on errors. 0ck-
err presided on the mound again and
stayed right up to training all
through the tussle. He walked three,
famed five and allowed only five hits.
Bailey opposed Ocker in the box with

and three hits. The day was won on
a wild overthrow by the Seater's out
fielder.

Blue Grass Roads Are Best.

1t is a pleasure to drive through the
blue grass district of Kentucky, where
they have what they call macadam-
lied turnpikes. These roads are the
equal of any paved city street and
of course are passable at all seasons
of the year. They cost approximately
$1,000 per mile. The highways in Ken
lucky are from thirty to sixty feet in
width. 1t is estimated that were the
highways of Illinois regulated to fifty
feet $25.O00.O00 could be added to the
wealth of the farmers of the state.
That alone would build more than 5000
miles of road

Schappa of 65 Garden street, tIiiI city. Francis or Harry as he wal generally known was horribly burnl ed, fairly baked,H the doctors stylel it. He was not located at St Rad phaelfs hospital for several hours al ter the wreck and when his mothc| found him there he smiled as he chat ted with them and seemd in ul pain, Gee, doc;y how long will I havl to stay here?' he asked of one of th| doctors.
 You're good for two weeks a least returned tho doctor who di5 not realize himself that the boyl condition was beyond hope.
 "I don't remember any thing abou the crash" he said. All l remembel was going through a window a n{ finding myself under a lot of burnl ing wood and some steaming rags oI sop1ething.

 Thought Dead Came Back.
 That he was seriously hurt waz first realized by his mother early i1k the night when Schappa with 1 smile took is mothers hand and said: Ma, Joe and May were in t0 see me this afternoon" He referred to a sister and brother who died some years ago and his mother ren- lized that the boys mind was wan~ dering. At midnight he lapsed into Q state of semi -conscio usness and his last words were: There's car going by now, ma, let's go home on that" He then went into a state os coma and died a little before daylight with his mother at his edside.
 Young Schappa was a clerk at the railroad office in New Haven and was on holiday trip to the Hippodrome when he was killed. Fate nearly kept. the boy away and seemed to toy with him before sending him on the fatal trip. His employer asked him to conc around and do a little work and 1t seemed at first that he would not get away in time for the train. He got away much earlier than expected and took an earlier train but got off fer some reason and waited for the eN- press 1t was a fatal step.

Here is one of the daintiest little frocks that could be offered and at the same lime one of the simplest. Below the roke it is all in one. It may be either smocked or gathered to form the girdle. Tn the picture, 1t Is made of houncing ,n two widths, consequently there is Almost no labor since the edges are all finished, but 1t can of course, be copied n any material that may be liked. For the very little tots, the dress that hangs Tree from the yoke often is liked and 1t is necessary only to omit the shocking to giveN that result. Here the sleeves are lhort, but long sleeves are included in Inc pattern. For the tiny children of one, and two, white is preferred to all colors, but at four years 1t Is possible to wear the dresden dimities and fine voiles and a variety of fabrics and the trimming can be belected to suit each special one. Challis makes a good effect with bands of silk as finish. Dresden dimity would require pnly hemmed edges. or perhaps tiny little frill of lace finishing the neck and Sleeves.
