DOYLE'S STRATEGY WORKED.
".Slow Joe," Advised to Pass Cobb,
Famed Him Instead.

A story is told of Joe Doyle. nick
named "Slow Joe" because of the
length of time it took him to deliver
a ball to the batter. and who pitched
for the Yankees some years ago. Joe
didn't last very long, but at least he
lasted long enough to make one quaint
observation that will long be remem-
bered. 1t seems that Doyle was pitch
ing in game on the Hilltop. shortly
after joining the club, In which the
Yankees were opposed by the Tigers,
and Ty Cobb came to bat with two on
and two out at a critical stage of the
pastime.
The Yankee catcher walked out to
Doyle and said: 'Better pass this
guy"
pass him?" asked Doyle. who either
did not Know Cobb or was possessed of
a world of confidence. why not strike
him out%'
And. by the gods. that's exactly what
he did

LEONARD SHADES CLINE.
Lightweight Champion Wins Hard.
Fought Six-Round Battle.

PHILADELPHIA. December 15.--In
the most desperately fought battle of
his career since winning the champion
ship, Bonnie Leonard. lightweight
champion, outpointed Irish Patsy Cline
of Harlem last night in a six-round
bout at the Olympia Athletic Associa-
ton clubhouse.
In the first four rounds Cline set such
a dizzy pace. carrying the fight to the
champion, that Bonnie was taken by
surprise and was unable to set himself
and time his blows. In the fifth
round. however, the little Hebrew. ever
cool and calculating, timed his blows
beautifully and nailed Patsy with ter
rife right and left hooks to the jaw
and body.
In the last round Leonard continued
to outpoint Patsy, trying for chance
to shoot over the finishing blow. But
Cline knew enough to clinch when the
clinching was good. and many well
meant blows from Bennie's flying fists
went over Patsys head as ne ducked
out of harms way.

 No one figured on the rain playing such prominent part, in fact, of all the visitors invited for the day, not an Elk or a Red Cross member can be found that issued the invitation to the rain, nevertheless it came and played leading part. We would be grate- ful, though, for the morning of the third, for the parade, scheduled for ten o'clock was thing of beauty and not a cloud marred the effect of the

The parade itself was on larger scale than ever before attempted in Flagstaff and the or ganizations at the head of each may we'll be proud of the response.
 We can only mention here, the floats in which our Woman's Club and Red Cross were more particularly in- terested.
 The Red Cross float was concep- tion of Columbia, secure, with her soldier and her Red Cross nurse--but greater security was pictured b the forty-eight youngsters each repres- enting unit of her glorious Union.
 The Woman's Club float showed Betsy Ross fashioning the first Amer ican flag. A suggestion of Colonial days was delightfully."- evident in the dainty costume of early days-the spinning wheel and the rag rugs.
 The riding club of Red Cross mem- bers, headed by Mrs. Hugh Campbell, bore proudly the Tri-color of France, the Union Jack and the glorious stars and stripes.
 We should love to mention them all but space forbids. The ladies on the various committees worked hard and thanks to Columbia, Mrs. Manning, the Red Cross nurse, Miss Sisson, Set sy Ross, Miss Cecelia Lind, and the children all for their preparation.
 Generosity on the part of the men, too, helped to make the work lighter, and to them thanks are extended.

FEDERATED CHURCH

Regrets are often the means of stimulating one's memory. We have heard many regret not having heard the two sermons so full of inspiration last Sunday at the Federated church. "The Call of the Deep" should have found a response in each Christians heart to launch out and be fishers of men.
 The eveinng service struck a note deep and significant, concerning American ideals.
 Faith of our fathers, character, con- science-all for which Americanism stands-must be upheld by those who believe firmly that Christian nation outlives and out lasts all other na. tions.
 Now, as to regrets, don't let it hap pen again. For your own good come and find out about "The Ministry of the Clouds" in the morning-and fol- low that up by hearing talk on Backbone" in the evening. Not that any of us need it, but we can look about and see for whom it is particu- larly appropriate. The evening serv- ice will be made fine evening for all the young people.

Oyster-white Linen Dress Trimmed
 with Embroidery

green, red and white; and white, black and brown. There are also some brown and white, and blue and white plaids which are wonderfully attract i've.
 These frocks are smart for all sorts of occasions. They are not strictly for morning use but they seem to fit in nicely for almost any informal summer affair. They are made up in such cmarming ways, it is no wonder that women are so enthusiastic about them. On their first introduction the plaid and checked ginghams were al- most always combined with plain gingham, usually in one of the colors of the plaid or check. The plain ging- ham was used either for piping and collar and cuffs or for making a DOT ton of the dress in those "half-and- half" dresses which are so very po- pular. These combinations are still seen, but very often the plain ging- ham is now replaced by plain voile, and sometimes it is organdy that is combined with gingham, but this is mainly for the dainty collar and cuffs which go with these dresses.
 Plain blue gingham combined with black and white gingham is an un- usual combination but has been at- tractively used with touch of red cross-stitch embroidery on the black and white check which is employed for trimming.
 The Shirtwast Dress
 The shirtwaist dress is one of the summer novelties which has been re- ceived with much favor. These dress es are rather plain in effect. The waist is attached to the skirt, and the dress is buttoned down the center front from collar to hem. The large white pearl buttons which are used really act in part as trimming. In stripes tug silks with white pique col lars made of the same silk, these frocks are both practical and pretty. The skirts are pleated or gathered, and sometimes trimmed with deep tucks going around the lower part.
 More elaborate, but made somewhat on the same order, are some presses with waists of Georgette crepe and skirts of crepe de Chine matching in color. These are charming for after moons developed in pale blue or pale pink.
 Short Panels and Soft Draperies
 While the straight one-piece frock continues to be the main theme of teh designers at present, there are very pleasing variations which now and again diverge from the beaten path. In the first sketch is a dress showing short panel which breaks the straight lines in front. Patch pockets at the sides fulfill the same mission, while the box-pleats at the front and back of the skirt preserve the straight lines as far as possible. The panel is repeated in the back just the same as in the front. There are several frocks in which this ship-length panel ap- pears. The model illustrated is for youthful figures. The dress is devel- oped in oyster-white linen with heavy allover embroidery in white forming the collar, shaped cuffs, and large square pockets.
 Another departure from absolutely straight lines is shown in the second

 If you are bound for the country on a summer vacation, by all means let your trunk contain at least one, if not more, of the charming gingham frocks that everybody is interested in this summer.
 From very early in the season there was much talk of these gingham dresses. Society wore them at Palm eBach in the early spring and, imme- diately, their success was assured. There is every kind of gingham to be ha dthis summer, beginning with the small checks in white and colors, of which blue and white are perhaps the most charming. Then there are the larger checks, and the fascinating plaids in which several colors are in- troduced. Some of the pretty com binations are yellow, white and blue;

the Summer
 We are at liberty to do just as we please about waistlines this season. The long peplum blouses and the smart one-piece frocks which are still in vogue permit of a girdle being placed in almost any position. The peplum blouses are,even more popular now than when they were first in troduced. They are made up in all sorts of materials; none is too sheer or too heavy for this style.

The skirt section is attached at low waistline, but loosely arranged gir- dle holds the dress into the figure above the joining of the waist and skirt. Brown and white plaid ging- ham forms the greater part of the dress, and plain white gingham makes the sleeves adn bod section.
