In Maryland. In order to ship the thorough
hreds from Pimlico and Laurel to Bowie
horsemen have been put TO no end of
trouble Moving vans have been called
upon to transfer the horses.
Many owners have even walked their
horses from Pimlco to Bowie. This gen.
eral exodus has taken place during the lay
off and as result the stables at Bowie
are now fl led with horses ready to race on
opening day. If Bowie had opened on
Wednesday, as scheduled. there would have
been a scarcity of thoroughbreds at the

during the enforced vacation.

team this year.
Early in the season Pittsburgh triumphed
nv the count of II to after one of the
hardest battles ever fought in Morgantown.
Pitt scored In the first half, but west Nlr-
ginia came back strong and had the ran
theirs on the run when the maj "histie

was placed at Hanover, y. H., and the
Green won by the score of to 2. Those
two defeats are the only marks on a brill

resulted in a 7-to-7 tie, which was good
considering the hard schedule which went

count for this was the one game on the

Washington and Jefferson has n peculiar
team this year. u looks good even in de-

There is power In the attack and the de-

and many opportunities were lost through

him on the chest. The oval bounced over

Henry, at tackle, played n wonderful game

making many tackles behind the line This
young man weighs 230 pounds but is very
fast. He looks like the best tackle in the
East this season.
Rodgers a Sensation
But Rodgers pulled most Of the sensa
tional stuff. He played here against Penr

and no doubt Is remembered by some o.

CLUBS CARRY TOO MANY

many pitchers this year." says James C..
Dunn, owner of the Clevelands. "Six pitch
ers are enough for any big league man
ager. A ball club gets the best results when
the manager works four good pitchers in
rotation and holds two in reserve"
Dunn favors player limit of twenty
men. including six pitchers. three eatchers.
six infelders and possibly five outfeiders
He also Is prepared TO cast the Cleveland
clubs vote for a schedule of 140 games IN

For the Last Time

For the Last Time
FTNHESE are extremely sensitive days
l. Any half-statement seems 10 be carried
further out to the most pessimstic con-
clusion. Our humble statement decrying
any championship because one college may
not have sent as many football veterans
to the service some rival has sent has
brought forth more than one loud roar.
II was not our idea to inpugn the patriotism
of any college. for the colleges In bulk
and In particular have done a record work
In this war.
But here is fact that no one can hurdle
"a college eleven that has returned four
or five or six veterans, from whatsoever
worthy and reputable cause. doesn't come
into fair competition with others who have
sent virtually every veteran to the service
and who have no nucleus to start with.
Therefore no championship is in order. If
this logic doesn't stand, We give 1t UP.

The American omu will have Il
tailored suit and little cares she what
the French or her own countrymen
may say to the contrary. For it seems
c0StumerS made up their minds that
the hour of the tailored suit had struck
and that it should be superseded this
season by Il One-piece frock and Il sep
crate coat. But the foreordained fail
ed of accomplishment. The American
women liked the one-piecc frock and
continued to love the tailored suit,
which tiourishes now even more than
ever.
The tailored suit is at it's best and
smartest when it is made of strong,
well woven fabrics and fashioned
along clean simple lines. New fabrics
come and go in the world of fashion
and some Of them make beautiful suits,
but they neve displuce serge and chev-
lot and twecds. The place of these is
fixed and the good taste that selects
them is never questioned.
In keeping with this quality of per-
