For the Kitchen windovx.

Do you remember how, when you
and I were little girls, our mothers and
our grandmothers used to wear en-
broidered gingham aprons? asks a
writer in the Philadelphia Record.
They cross-stitched then, you know,
using the little block pattern OF the
Bingham for a guide, and many won
deEful designs did they pat upon them.
Wei, interior decorators have been
saying a lot abOat identifying the
kitchen these days. and one OF their
ideas is TO put little half draDes Of

fiaring cuffs with overlap in white
satin.
Making joke of deprivatfons is one
phase of French fortitude in these
times of trial. The Parisienne makes
light of the scarcity of coal and says
she will rely upon furs and exercise
in the open air to keep herself warm
this winter. This prediction seems to
have Influenced the mode, and furS
are everywhere. On suits and frocks
they appear in bands, sometimes con-
tinuOus and more often in sections. on
the bottom of skirts and coats. Collars
and cuffs, Uncovered buttons, and
narrow fur bands and fringes of fur
find place on all outer garments.
Deep cuffs, both close-fitting and
f1aring, and narrow collars that widen
into broad revers are among the new
est phases of fur trimmings But with
the broadcast collars and the most gen
erous cuffs are coupled very narrow
landings in pockets and about the bot
tom of coats. Collars are as luxurious
and enveloping as those introduced last
winter, those on suits of the convert
ible variety that may be brought up
about the throat at will.
One of the new fall suits, trimmed
with gray squirrel, is made of wool
velour. Squirrel looks well on the
wine, blue and green shades of the
present season and combines beauti-
fully with the soft "glove finish OF

tenant Paget gathered from his ram
bling words that he had lost his ship,
and had returned, the sole survivor,
in one of the ships boats, which he
had rOwed for several hundred miles
across the stormy waters of the North
Atlantic.
But 1 brought my specimen home
with me, lad!' he exclaimed, cIutching
at his companions arm. Think of
that, lad! She didn't want TO eat.
/ They don't eat after they're mature.
Donald. That simplified matters con-
siderable. And so 1 brought her, and
got her safe to my home. Donald
The old mans voice failed him. He
began muttering to himself absentIy
again. No doubt his terrible expert
ence had unhinged his brain. Lieu
tenant Paget had always known Mas
terman to be a natural eccentric, but
never before had he talked like this
about the safety of humanity, and
some awful and imminent danger
which only he could avert The lieu
tenant could see that the old mans
cheeks were sunken; his eyes were
wild, and under his long coat the
faded blue uniform was Shrunken and
stained with sea water.
Lieutenant Paget felt we'll disposed
toward the whole world just then. He
had been summoned home from serv-
ice with the Atlantic fleet to receive
his commission as commander of the
F'55. And Miss Ida Kennedy. the
daughter of the American consul gen
eral in London, whom he had met
there the year before, had written him
that she was sailing in company with
her aunt by the Beotia for New York.
At such q time, when his profess
sional and personal interests We're be-
ing served so we'll by fortune. Paget
felt that fate had played a wretched
trick upon MaSterman, whose lifework
had utterly failed of recognition owing
to his defects of temperament. Though
he was sure that the old sea captain
was crazed, he admired him as a dar-
ing seaman and an original genius of
a high order.
My dear lieutenant, am extremely
glad to have met you. Nothing could
have been more Fortunate said Mas
terman, recovering his eduanimity
with a suddenneSS that surprised his
friend. Can you find the time to

chat with me? It's the Inventors. but

Paget, now quite convinced that his
old friend was raving mad, followed
him into queer little building, appar-
emily a combination of club and hotel
The smoking room, which was stu
ated on the ground floor Immediately
behind the clerks desk, was crowded
with members, all talking at once at
the top of their voices. AS the captain
paused to enter his guests name in
the book, Paget looked in through the
drifting smoke clouds.
A dozen men had the floor, and were
geStfculating furiously.
Captain Masterman, having en-
tered his guests name, touched him
upon the arm.
They're all mad, my lad. said the
old man, surveying the assemblage
with look of pity. mo doubt you
wonder how can associate my name
with theirs. If it wasn't for our mag

NINETEEN PLAYERS
ON GRIFFITH'S LIST
Moist Delivery Causes Shanks to
Make Bad Peg to Plate.

Cleveland, July 11.-Howard Shanks
claimed that he could easily have
thrown Graney out at the plate in
the second inning on Evans single,
only the ball was so slippery that
he could not grasp it. Gallia uses
the moist fling just the same as
does Coveleskie and Evans had
picked a splitter" to center for a
safe blow.
Clark Griffith Is carrying only
nineteen ball players. His utility
players include Horace Milan, n
brother of Clyde Milan, who is an
outfielder, and-Joe Leonard. an in
fielder. Clyde Milan has charley
horse, which caused the Old Fox to
play Shanks in center today.
In the eighth inning the entire
Cleveland team-left the field when
Menoskey apparently swung at a
third strike for the final out. UNI
pire Dineen called it ball and or
dered the Injuns back. Menoskey
then poked single past Wamby.
Wamby had such a good start
when he swiped home IN the third
inning that there was no chance in
the world to get him at the plate.
For the game tomorrow Jim Bag
by or Guy Morton will twirl. Walter
Johnson. the speed king, is slated
to oppose.
Jack Graney has finally pulled
himself out of his recent batting
slump. as his two hits Wednesday
would indicate.
Fohl will hardly shift his batting
order at present for the reason that
his club is winning, and no man
ager cares to break up a winning
combination.
Louie Guisto was given credit for
a hit in the eighth when Jim Shaw
slipped up and fell after scooping
in Louie's grounder. Big Jim had
plenty of stun. Ask Bobby Roth
il you don't believe ps.
Jack Graney made brilliant rum
ming catch of Eddie Fosters long
foul fly in the second inning. going
almost to the stands after the ball.
Joe Harris hopes to be able to play
for the Injuns tomorrow or Satur-
day. while Clyde Milan will likely
be back on the job for the Nation
ais tomorrow.

DESPITE Age, GROOA'S.
WORK IS EXCELLENT.
Former Washington Hurler Is Per.
forming in Sensational Style.

Many pitchers go along season after
season without attracting much at
tention until glance over their rec
ords show that they have really been
pitching remarkable ball without any
one knowing about II. Usually their
work has been oyershadowed by some
brilliant star on their club and their
consistent work is lost sight of as
result. Mathewson caused the really
wonderful work OF Red Ames to be
forgotten and Ames has gone along
for years without>recelving the credit
he really deserves.
Bob Groom has gone along In the
American and Federal lea agues for
more than decade for the same rea-
son. He was at Washington at a time
when Washington meant Walter John
son with big ''W" and a capital "J,"
and when Groom Jumped TO the st.
Louis Feds no particular attention
was paid to 1t. But Grooms work
this year, when he has really passed
the best years of his pitching career,
as such careers are measured, de-
serves more than passing attention.
Groom, playing with a losing club,
has won half his games, has pitched
In more games than any other MEM
ber of his club except one and than
any pitcher in the league with three
exceptions. In these games he has
allowed less than $50 earned runs per
game and has come through with one
no-hit and several low-hit contests
With the exception of 1916 he is pitch
ing better ball than ever. and along
with Eddie Cicotte, Red Ames. Jack
Coombs and few others may be re-
garded as a direct refutation to the
old-time baseball adage that a mans
first years are his best.

MAGEE SLATED TO co.
Yankees Offer Former Fed to St.
Louis for Marsans.

New York, July IA big shake
up of the Yankees will likely take
place within the next two DAYS.
Yesterday Jacob Rupert and Bill
Donovan offered Outfielder Lee Ma
gee to the st. Louis Browns for
Armando Marsans, the Cuban out
fielder, and Pitcher Ray Caldwell
to the same club for Second Base
man Pratt.
Fielder Jones already has turned
down the Caldwell proposition, but
the two clubs are trying to COM
plete the Magee Marsans swap. The
leading obstacle is Magee's war
time" salary. When the Yankees
forked over s22.5OO to Harry Sin
clair for Magee's release, Magee
still was under contract by which
he was signed to manage the Brook
lyn Federals in 1915. This contract
called for $4,000 a year and had two
more years to go. Capt. Huston
then signed Magee to a three-year
contract calling for $4,000. Magee
Is serving the second year of this
contract
In the entire list of baseball deals
the Magee deal stands out as the
worst OF the lot. Manager Dono-
van Is pleased with the showing of
his team since he gave it a shake
up which sent Maisel and Magee
to the bench.
