Style Notes

Pockets in all shapes, sizes and po-
sitions on spring models warrant at
tention and add much interest to new
fashions, both in coats and suits as
well as dresses.
Wool scarfs and stockings in bright
Scotch plaids are now being worn
with tweed and other cloth suits for
outdoor sports, and it is predicted
that these will be more popular as
spring advances.
The chemise dress and the basque
blouse are said to be sure winners
of fashion for spring. and, judging
from the acceptance of these models
during the winter, this would seem to
be true prediction.
Coats of leather, plain and fur
trimmed, are worn over skating
dresses of velvet, corduroy and serge.
These are interesting coats for this
purpose and later they may be used
as motor coats for the early spring
motor journey.

January 10.

What is that phrase, biblical or
otherwise, that says, "One whom he
delighteth to honor" have a suspi-
cion that it comes from the book Of
Esther and that | have paraphrased
it badly, but it suits my purpose per-
fectly as it stands, for the subject Of
a delightful surprise today is a wo-
man about whom every person seems
to say only good things.
Mrs. Herbert Rogers was surprised
at luncheon time in her new home in
Dundee by group OF women with
whom she has been intimately asso-
clated for about twenty years. Mrs.
Rogers was one of the founders of the
Visiting Nurse association Although
a girl Of a prominent and well-to-do
family, she gave up her own thoughts
of pleasure to go east, where she
might fit herself as trained nurse
to carry on the work of the asso-
citation in which she had such vital
interest. The unselfish spirit which
she showed by this act has endeared
her to everyone.
Shortly after the founding OF the
Visiting Nurse association it was
deemed advisable to form sewing cir
Giles in order that the membership
might be extended and that other wo-
men might share in the good work,
1t was then that Mrs. Rogers or
gained a group of about twenty in
to her own sewing circle, and a
nucleus of those original members
with the addition of few new ar
rivals in the city still meets every
other week to sew for the Visiting
Nurse association.
Since MIR. and Mrs. Herbert Rogers
have moved into their new home in
Dundee the members OF this small
circle have conceived delightful plan
which they put into effect today:
Armed with luncheon baskets and
bags and a chair. as gift for the
new home, they appeared at Mrs;
Rogers door this noon and surprised
her. The members of the circle are:

FULTON STOPS SAM LANCFORD
 IN 7TH ROUND

Boston, June 2O-Fred Fulton's height and reach were too great a handicap for Sam Langford at the Armory A A. last night. and, after seven rounds of one-sided fighting, the Minnesota plasterer stopped the Bos- ton negro. Langford was being pun ished so badly by Fulton in the sew en<h that his seconds threw up the sponge and ended the bout, the ref cree declaring Fulton the winner.
 Langford tried in vain for the first few rounds to get at Fulton, but the big fellows reach was so great that he had little trouble in holding him off Langford was game, and re- peatedly kept coming in, but there was such a difference in the sizes of the boxers that Langford had little success in reaching his opponent. In the second round after breaking away frsm q clinch, Fulton caught Lang ford on the point of the jaw and sent him down for the count of seven. 1. Only once, in the third round, was LGngford successful in reaching Full ton, and tlasn he drove him back to the ropes with hard blows to the body. He was not able to reach Fulton's jaw.

SCHUPP PITCHES
 GIANTS TO SIXTH
 STRAIGHT VICTORY

Boston, June 20-The Giants regis tered their sixth straight victory by defeating the Braves yesterday, 8 to 1. Ferdinand Schupp, who was in the box for the winning team, now has eight victories to his credit this season, the record being unblemished by a defeat.
 ] The Giants outbatted and outfielded the Braves and fully deserved tht' vic tory, although it required sensational fielding in the last two innings to slave off what promised to be winning rallies by the Stallings crew.
 For seven. innings Schupp was in- vincible, holding the Braves runless. He appeared to tire in the eighth and was hit very hard, but two double plays saved further damage. Herzog and Fletcher figured prominently in the two-ply killings.
 Rudolph was taken out after the second inning, as the New Workers jumped on him. at the start. Nehf who relieved Rudolph, was effective for four innings, after which he was batted freely. Nehf was taken out in the eighth to allow Tragessor to bat for him.

Joe Borren Slipped
 Fast After He Won
 Many Bouts at Start

r How frequently it happens that fighters who give great promise of at taining high fstic honors give out when their 1aurels of the ring are seemingly within their grasp. A case of this kind is presented in the career of Joe Borrell, the Italian n-American lighter who will tomorrow celebrate his twenty-fourth birthday. In 1914 this young boxer was a contender for the middleweight title, today he is very little in the limelight. Borr91l began making reputation in 1911 by knocking out nearly every man he en- countered- In his first year in the ring Borren met 12 men in what were scheduled to be six round bouts Only two of them went to six rounds.
 He scored nine knockouts and his opponents lasted on an average of two ronnds before he put them to sleep" In 1912 Joe fought 20 bouts: Again he scored nine knockoues and won the remainder. In April 1913. Borrell met Miie Dempsey in New York and the

Cyclone Thompson of
 Ring Fame Beat Some
 Good Men In His Day

Johnny Thompson, long the s'Cy- clone' of the ring, born in Ogle coun- ty, ILL, i'm 1876 Like Battling Nelson, Kid Williams and several other prom inent boxers, Thompson is Dane. He began boxing as a featherweight in 1902, but in a short tme graduated into the lightweight division. in which he made his greatest reputation. The "Cyclonn' suffered his first defeat at the hands of Bat Nelson in 1902. As a lightweight Thompson whipped Dick Hyland, Rudy Unholz, and a number of other crack fighters, was defeated by Packy Mcfarland, Freddie Welsh and Charles Neary and lost twice to Peter Sullivan.
 He went to Australia as a light weight in 1910, but gained flesh so rap idly that heswas forced into the mid dleweight division. He whipped Billy Papke in Australia, but was twice de- feated by Dave Smith, the New Zea- land middleweight and on his return to America was repeatedly defeated.

 quoted recently to the effect that : Benny Leonard weighed above 137
 pounds the night he won the light-s- weight title from Freddy Welsh. Thes following letter from Harry Pollok manager of Welsh, explains itself: sd:

SEEKING
 LOUDERMILK FOR TWlRLING STAFF

New York, June 20-Pat Moran is looking for another pitcher of known ca1ibre who can take his regular turn and chip in something better than 50 per cent. of his starts in victories. If he can land such a man he figures the Phillies will prove mighty tough proposition for anything else in the league to oust in the pennant hunt.
 A bit of extra power in the outf1eld and additional pitching strength was what Moran decided his club needed to put it on an equal footing with the Giants, Cubs or anything else in the hunt. A day or so ago he landed Frank Schulte from the Pirates. Schulte isn't the star that he> once was. But he still can hit, and further more he can go get lem pretty well inAthe outf1e1d. He may prove to be just what Moran needed in his outer patrol
 As for pitching talent, Moran doesn't expect that anybody in the league is going to hand him anything very valuable without his turning loose something valuable in return. Accordingly he is searching the minors. He wants a man of experi- ence and pitching knowledge. with still enough real ability left to deliver the goods.
 Grover Loudermilk, who has been bumped about the two big leagues rather freely, is said to be under close observation by Moran. Loudernilk has been pitching great ball in the American Association, having won something like 10 straight victories. While in the majors Loudermilk had plenty of stuff That is, he had speed and curves, but lacked control. If he has acquired this last named asset he should prove winner in the big time.

Brooklyn Is Logical
 Place for American
 League to Put Club

Brooklyn would seem to be the, log ical choice for American League ac- tivity should Washington be aban- doned, writes Ted Wooster in the Brooklyn Times. This is one of the genuine big league cities In the East Brooklyn is the only place open when considering a shift from the capitol. Baltimore, has been ruled out by Bar, Johnson because it is not a big league city. Newarkswill not be con- sidered for the same reason. Buffalo js a big question, and Toronto likewise, although the latter is a good ball town.
 The Brooklyn Club sanctioning the admission of the American League, Ebbets and the McKeevers will insist on the scale of prices being kept up to the Ebbets Field standard. This no doubt will cause a hitch but the Brooklyn club owners always have insisted that their prices were right. Johnson will kick at this but he will have to yield or remain away from Brooklyn.

CINCRAS AGAIN SAVES CONTEST
 FOR BRIDGEPORT
Bp Wa:enerA

Long Louie Pieper, the human s6eD ladder who is trying to wiring a few victories out of the Hartford club, staged a little riot at Newfield park yesterday and made the bleacherites realize that life is worth living. At the end of the eighth Pieper galloped in from the third base line shouting at Umpire Cononlly, He had base on balls" After the umpire heard this chorus a few times he told Pieper to put on another record and with the same motion tossed Pieper out of the game. Pieper then went to the stock ade back of the bench and looked over: the fence. He is so tall that the only way the umpire could keep him from watching the game would be to send him out of town. k
 Pieper was kicking about what 1lap1 pened when Joe Gingras made his dramatic entry on the scene to per- form his daily rescue act At that time Hartford was in the midst of a rally, there were two on bases, one out and Bridgeport was ahead by to 4. Rich was at bat when Gingras was called to relieve House. The umpire called two balls and no strikes and Gingras threw him another ball. Then the bdg boxn1an hurled two strikes and fsach took a swing at the third one. The next man grounded out so the danger was over. Pieper thought the umpire guessed wrong when he called
 those strikes on Rich. The final score was Bridgeport 2, Hartford f.
 Bridge port started as if there would
 be nothing te it but House began to Waver as the contest wore on Hart ford tapped him for two runs in the fifth and was ahead by to 2 in the sixth when House put the locals back In the game by polling a long triple and scoring Deininger from first. Mar t1nps inf1eld hit scored House.
 All this time Liston had been twirI- ing for Hartford. He was replaced by Gross in the seventh and the locals greeted f1dm with three runs. A single by Priest, Bracket hit by pitched ball, a sacrifice by Corcoran and
 wild throw to the plate by Grimes did the trick :
 Hank Bracket had . great day for the Americans, getting two eorbIes
 and a pass. Manager KrichelI caught
 spiend1dly and displayed good 1udg-
 ment in taking House from the mound
 when it was plain he was weakening.
