two first games.
The teams have played a three
game series already this season, Rich
Hill winning the first game, Butler
the second and Rich Hill the third af-
ter one of the hottest games seen on
the loca! diamond this summer.
Last Sunday Rich Hill, in a
Thinning game, defeated "a team
made up largely of extra men from
the Kansas City Blues at Nevada. At
the same time the Butler team was
trimming the fast Clinton team by a

MEN TO SHOW PIES
Steiner Eek To Compete In State Fair
Culinary Exhibits.

OKLAHOMA CITY-Mere man will
pit his skill against lovely woman in
the culinary department at the Okla
homa State Fair and E. l%osition this
year. judging from the fact that sew
eral men have indicated their inten-
ton of entering pies, C" kes and other
articles OF cookery. A half-dozen or
more have been given entry blanks.
The culinary department is always
one of the most attractive exhibits on
the ground. II usually attracts great
crowds of men, who look long and
wistfully at the fa& pies and cakes and
artistically arranged jars Of fruit and
vegetables.
In previous years, comparatively
few members of the sterner sex have
braved convention by showing their
cooking masterpieces at the fair. Now
that women are winning successes in
business, however. the men seem re.
solved to assert their equality, or even
supremacy in the household arts.
The fair is to be held this year from
September rs to October 2.

LOCAL STYLE AUTHORITY
WRITES HOME ABOUT STYLES

Miss Grace Jines, manager Of the
Al Rosenthal Ardmore shop wrote
a long letter addressed TO THE
Girls of that organization. The
contents are so interesting to aii
girls" that we are going to pass
on a portion Of the letter.
I'm stopping at the largest no
tel in the world-the Pennsylvania.
1t has 1900 rooms all with bath.
Ny, they must think every body is
gong to stop here on Saturday nights.
The buildings surely grow tall in
this city. I've been looking at them
so much the roof Of my mouth is
sunburned.
Attended several style shows and
goodness but they wear them short
here-barely more than the skirt hens
below the knee-and the hens are
pretty narrow.
The predominant frock fabric for
fall will be navy tricotines in wool
and black satin in the silks. The
tailored STYLES are better than ever
trimmings used sparingly but artis-
tically. Gay colored yarn will be
hand embroidered in grotesque de-
signs on both frocks and hats.
"Waistlines have a tendency II
slip down a Bit this fall-both in frocks
and suits. Plaits and ruffles will be
utilized to great extent.
The most novel thing about suits
for fall is the high choker collars
in self material, most Of which are
convertible. Some wonderful value,
this season-stunning suits at around
s6j, SIS and sSj.
The wrappy wrap is the vogue
this coming season both in wool and
fur. The wrap-coat. which is a new
version Of the dolman, will be nue.;
in evidence.
The basque blouse is going to hold
sway to a great extent. Some are 81
lacy they're almost cobwebby. The
duvetyns are beautiful blouses, And
all sorts of strictly tailored shirts
will be sponsored to wear with the
good looking Scotch plaid sport
skirts.
