SOX COP SECOND
GAME FROM THE
YANKS-A BLANK

Superb fielding behind Ed CT
cotte's good pitching and timely
hitting against Bob Shawkey en-
abled the White SoX to cop the sec
ond game of their series with New
York's Yankees yesterday by a
score of 5 to 0.
That is the largest number of
TALES the Gleasons have given CT
cote to work on since he can re-
member, and the surprise of it
nearly upset the knuckle ball ex-
pert. He was tagged for nine safe
hits and gave three bases on balls,
which is more liberty in the ag-
gregate than he has been allow
ing opponents in, three or four
games this year.
With the aid of an error Chicago
rang up a pair of TALES in the first
inning and that would have been
sufficient the way things broke, but
they made it safer by earning one
in the fourth and cinched it by put
ting across two more genuine
counters in the eighth.

Universal satisfaction was ex-

entertainment at the Dolly play
house and the judgment of the
local promoter in matching his
various principals is the subject OF
commentator on all sides.
That Adair and Sheridan made
one of the best fights ever seen
fact and the rest of the bill spoke
for itself long before the finish OF
the entertainment.
AS to the relative merits of the
two principals-Adair and Sheri-
dan-this is still a matter of doubt
One thing was proven in the re-
cent mill-Sheridan is one of the
tough birds of the game, while on
the other hand Adair convinced
the fans that he possesses class OF
no mean ability. His easy meth
cd of delivery, his GOODNESS under
attack and his all-around ring gen.
eralship won a home with the fans

be . welcome visitor in the future.

Little Interest i'm

Leather
Dealers Refuse Orders
for Seolskis Bags O,Uing
to Scarcity

Because of the shortage of seal skin
manufacturers of leather pocketbooks
and handbags are refusing orders for
goods made OF this material. BUYERS
on their way to European markets are
said to be visiting the local show rooms
III large numbers in search of fall
merchandise. Leather goods manu-
facturers report that with the seal
SKIN bags practically off the market
these buyers have been placing orders
Tor goatskin and cowhide goods in
their stead
BY the time the real fall season buy
ing starts it is expected that some
sealskln stock will be offered, but
with the seal catch of last March be-
ing much below that of other years
the supply will be small
manufacturers declare that although
prices are constantly advancing the
demand for merchandise has not di
minlshed Several companies report
that they are far behind on delivery
OF orders, production being curtailed
through the scarcity of skilled helm.

clent good grade leather could not be

Silks
Manufacturers Of Staple
Silks Turning DoaUn
Orders

Manufacturers of novelty silks who
frequently change the designs on their
fabrics did an excellent business yes
terday, and most Of the buyers evinced
preference for the highest grades
Of goods. The concerns that sell the
plain or so-called staple silks were
unable TO accept many additional
orders because their outputs of fall
weaves have been sold far ahead, and
as they cannot at the moment see their
way clear to increase production they
arc rather concerned about their
ability to make deliveries on schedule.
even the comparatively few concerns
shat have not disposed of their full
outputs, ntimated that by next week
their books probably would be closed
against advance orders. A number of
jobbers were in the show rooms seek
ing supplies for fall, but many OF
them failed to have their entire de-
mands accepted.
Business in silk neckwear for men
continues of extraordinary volume, and
advanced prices seem to have in
creased rather than reduced buying.
The spring buying season usually
terminates shortly after Easter, but
this year demand has kept up to the
point where business in fall ncckwear
is generally getting under way

Action Taken to Stop
The Cancellation Evil
Associated Dress Industries Ap.
points Committee to Deal
With Problem

Immediate action in curbng the un-
just cancellation evil is called for in
resolution passed by the executive
board Of the Associated Dress Indus
tries of America. The appointment of
committee of three to devise ways
and means of dealing with the problem
was called for in the resolution. This
committee will be appointed soon and
will report back at the next meeting
of the executive board.
According to David Mosessohn, exec
utive director Of the association, it is
probable that the dress manufacturers
will be called upon to report to their
association all cases where retailers
make unjust cancellations of orders
These violations of good business prac-
tice will be listed and will form the
basis for future action by the asso-
citation. The losses which manufacture
ers suffer through the unjust cancel
lation of orders aggregate many thou
sands of dollars a year and, SO the as
sociation believes, are unnecessary.
