Miller Huggins. manager of the New
York Yankees, owes his entire success
to being able to remake himself.
When player has played ii certain
position for years and batted from one
side of the plate in all this time and
then decides that he had better change
both his fielding and batting positions,
he has several factors to contend with.
He must change his angle of vision. he
must build up new muscles and un-
build old ones.
What He Accomplished.
After three years of trying this was
what the diminutive manager of the
Yanks was finally able to accomplish.
He had been playing with the st.
Paul club OF the American association
for some time, when he decided that
TO become n major Lacquer lie would
have to change his playing methods.
He realized that he was not good at
any position but second. He could not
play at short or third or first, nor
could he throw across the diamond.
He was not a success at any position
in the lineup except as lead-off man.
To be leadoff man he decided to

NET AND oRGANDlE IS LIKED
Summer Fa~erlte-presses of
bingham on Wane.

Combinations of organdie and taf-
feta continue to be very much ap-
proved. Another fabric combination
that is being developed for summer
is net and organdie. Both white and
colored nets are smart for summer
frocks and either plain white or col
ored net may be trimmed with bands
or insets of crisp organdie In con-
Trusting color with excellent results.
Orgnndie has the effect of giving a
net dress more character than an all
net one possesses. Some fiowered cot
ton nets are also among the dainty
summer fabrics. They nre frequently
made up over taffeta in plain color
us dance or evening dresses.
Dresses entirely of gingham have
not had the demand this season that
they enjoyed when they were intro
duced as novelties two seasons ago.
Last summer their lease of life was
very uncertain. For the coming sum-
mer the most charming ginghnm dress
es are those that employ white or
candle in their makeup.
A blue and white or pink and white
checked gingham may be made guimpe

Of organdie. or organdie and ginghnm
may be combined much as taifeta and
organdie are.

THE SHORT JACKET
Late Model, Developed in Blue

Is Finished With Very Full
Outstanding Plating.

For the slender figure that dares
to wear an outstanding friH at the
bottom of short jacket the new
model is charming. 1t is developed in
blue serge with fine knife plaits. The
little Jacket is cut in pointed outline.
1t reaches to just below the waistline
and finishes with very full outstand-

Below this are the two plated flounces
which form the skirt depth. For all
its complication of design this suit
looks well.
In another type of suit favorably
considered Is a revival OF the old-fash-
ioned. man-tailored style. The coat Is
three-Quarters length with swinging
fullness from the hips and has n sim
pie coat sleeve, fiat collar, small revers
and breast pockets. Except for this
side-swinging fullness it resembles II
mans frock coat. The skirts of such
suits are short. fairly full and gather

the other is to open 1t up with jack

with n tight grip on the steering wheel.
Some tires are guaranteed longer
than others, and will last for several
years If not driven to excess. The
best way to preserve tires is to drive
slowly around the block once a week
and then put the car to sleep on stilts
over night. When catalogue house
tire has been run 1900 miles without
Il puncture, 1t eithe. proves that the
owner stole 1t from truck or is a
massive and ornate liar. People
would have less tire trouble II they
paid less attention to thc guarantee
and more to the short, crisp warnings
of the tire tester.
The best kind of tire guarantee is
a mixture of plain mule sense along
with the ability to dodge between the
three-cornered rocks which strew tie

brakes at 80 miles an hour and starts

What does the future hold for Joe
Wilhoit? Is the National more success
full with these comebacks than. the
American. because of more careful
handling, or is Dame Fortune always
with the senior league?
Roush, Ring and Eller of the Reds
all had n taste of American league life,
but they failed to clinch berth. Who
will doubt their right to place In
baseball stardOm now? Was 1t care
full management? Was it plain luck ?
Bill Killefer is another example. The
Browns had Bill once, but he failed
to stick. Joe Wilhoit is going to be
watched this season, and If he shows
the slightest signs of class such as that
which marked his work at Wichita.

change from the right to the left side
of the plate.
Being a right-handed hitter he had
developed his right leg to carry the
support of his attack. He had to undo
this and make his left-leg muscles do
for him what his right had.
To chnnge he started out 10 be q
southpaw in everything he did. He
threw the ball, chopped wood. drove
spikes and ate with the left hand.
He worked at his transformation for
three years and finally received the
recognition he was after. He got on
in the majors.
Reversed Himself.
Higgins in his best day was not q
good thrower yet he became a great
second bnseman. BY using his brains
overtime he learned that standing in
a position nearer left field than that
occupied by other second basemep
would allow him to come In on almost
every ban hit TO his territory and get
1t with his left hand. He was rarely
forced to go to his right on play
and always was in position to get
the ball to first.

majors-the National league, too--and
that he will again demonstrate that
senior league acumen Is keener than
that of the johnson circuit.
Wilhoit made his plunge into major
league circles with the Boston Braves
His debut was impressive, but short
lived. Gradually he fell down in his
work with the bludgeon. and, what is
worse, he fell down In his brain work
TO such marked degree that Manager
Stallings shipped him to the minors,
more as punishment than because he
believed the youngster in need of sea-
soniDg.
But Wilhoit. going true to form,
burned up the minors and won another
major league berth. This time 1t was
the Boston Red Sox that gave him the
lift. But again he failed to show the
class that was expected In the majors,
and now he Is wearing Toledo regalia.
where every student of the pastime
expects to hear of him doing wonder
full things.
Many players have been discarded
by American league managers, only
to return and star In the older cir
cult. Lavan turned the trick: Chase
did It. too; Olson failed In Cleveland,
but he shone brilliantly at BrookiyR.

WORTH WHILE TO MAKE OVER
Cost Of Material Indueement to Busy
Mother to Remodel Dresses for
Growing Children.


Many mothers do not think wash
dress worth making over. But with
every material costing so much 1t will
pay this season. Sometimes new
frock, too, is torn or damaged In the
front. so that 1t cannot he worn, and
yet the rest remains perfectly good.
Then certainly It is worth making into
u pretty little frock of smaller size
for daughter. Pique linen and poplin
nre all pretty trimmed with white col
lars and cuffs or guimpes, frills or
vestees of lawn or Organdie. In max
ing them, too. 1t pays to make these
frocks so they can be "let down."
Either deep hem. which is very good
style on the little girls frock, or Il

as the goods does. Truly. this Is a
practical consideration for busy
