Preparations by manufacturers Of

interrupted by the strike of the. cloak

Buyers Now in Market

Demands for fall merchandise, :"
said James Herff, of Stern Heineman
Herf, manufacturers of infants
and children's apparel yesterday. "un-
questlonably viii tax the producing
facilities Of manufacturers here. Buy
ers are in The market now and many
retailers have written in for fall cata-
logues. In many cases it would be
possible to sell almost half of a manu-
facturer's output through catalogues
alone. In our trade the buyers for
the retail stores frequently purchase
their entire seasons supply III their
first order Our styles do not change
with the rapidity that they do in the
Women's cloak and suit trade, and the
buyer who places an order early gets
the style that lasts all season.
This year, though, the buying may
come little later as the manufac-
turers have not yet received all their
finer goods from the mills, and some
of theh best samples hhave not been
made yet"
Mr.. Herf stated that the big rise
in prices for infants and children's
outer garments which has taken place
III the last three or four years has
not kept mothers from indulging their
desire to see their little ones well
dressed
New-York tribune., 1919-05-18
Mothers Want the Best


In spite of highher prices,' he said,
the women Of theh country are buy
ing better quality than ever before,
and from present indications the height
OF luxury and expense in infants and
childrens garments has not yet been
reached. In short, we cannot make
our merchandise too good or TOO ex-
pensive.'
In the infants dress industry the
spring season, Mr.. HerF said, is still
on, and even at this date recorders are
being received from retailers There
is shortage of labor in that branch
OF the industry, and deliveries are fre-
Quently d month late. The samples
for fall lines of infants dresses have
not been made vet.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 16.-Har-
wards football team has begun week
of intensive training preparatory to
leaving next Saturday for its New
Years Day game with the University
of Oregon team at Pasadena, Calf.
Practice, which stopped prior to the
Yale game on November %, was re-
sumed in light form last Thursday
after final acceptance of the western
challenge, but considerable information
concerning the Oregonians' style Of play
which has been received made it posi-
BILE for Coach Robert II. Fisher to pre-
pare defenses for the best rival forma
tions expected.
Arthur Clark, one of the Harvard
guards, has announced that he would
not take the trip with the team,
upon advice of his physician. He said
that he had played through the season
against the wishes Of his physician and
his family, who considered that a
previous injury to his back made il
dangerous for him to participate in foot.

President Scheffer, of the Eastern
Basketball League, is evidently due TO
meet some little resistance in his pro
posed threat to bar any player regis
tered in the Eastern League from tur-
ther connection in that basketball or
ganization if they play any more
games in the Pennsylvania state
League.
Whether the Interstate and New
York State Leagues are in the order Is
not clear, but players of the Eastern
League are performing in both.
1t has been a source of much dlscon-
tent. but in years back, when the East
ern League was the whole show, nothing
was done in the matter, and 1t appears
ridiculous to come through with such
proposal when basketball players are
hard to find without securing outside
assistance.
viii Play Any Man
Dave Bennis, Army Fitzgerald and
Frank Poth, representing part OF the
Germantown management, held con-
fab and had this to say:
1.-THE Germantown club abides by all
the rules of the Eastern League. we
have eight men listed, but we do. not
intend to play all or to even nave
them on hand at every game, II for
financial reasons alone.
"For instance, this evening we have
notified Meehan and Holman, out -ot :
towners, to be present, and these, with
Franckle, Black, Simendinger and
Powell. will compose the line up that
will play North Philadelphia The
next night at Camden we have notified
Schmeelk, Fyfe and Meehan to report
"Schmeek and Fyfe may be playing
elsewhere tonight for all we know, and
if they are barred when they appear at
Camden on Wednesday there will be no
game as far as Germantown is con =
cerned.
1.-The Germantown club represents an
expenditure in round hgures for the
season of approximately $l0OoO, and
we intend having something to say as
10 how the money will be spent. We
have our fans to please and that we
intend to do"
North Phils Lose
The North Phillies lost another hart
game last night to De Neri at Moose
Hall, but hope to do better when they
meet Germantown at Chew street anG
Chelten avenue this evening. ThC
score Of the game was 1928, and thu
visitors outscored the home crew eigh
goals to four.
Malone and Dreyfuss were the star
in the victory for De neri with sb
baskets, three each, while SugarmaI
and Beckman each scored one. Ton
Dunleavy was the scoring star for tn
Phillies with four of their six baskets
the other two going to Jimmy Brown.
