TIGHT FITTING SUITS

New Designs In Mems Clothes

Have Natural Fit.
Associated Press.N

NEW YORK. March 21.-New d
Agns for mems spring and summe
attire which will be displayed at the
annual fashion show and dinner OF
the New York Custom Cutters club
Monday night virtually eliminate the
ughtflttins suit OF war day.. Instead
a natural fitting coat, not so narrow
and just a fraction longer" has been
decreed by fashion arbiters as its sub
stitute. The "toothpick" lapel also
has been discarded and in its place a
more modest half peak has been
decided upon.
The experts agree that the Ameri.
can man prefers three buttons on his
coat instead Of two, and he will have
them. As solace for any disappoint.
ment that might be felt through the
loss Of the "clinging styles" the rollers
of male attire will retain the narrow
sleeves.

But these fellows are few and they
have the same warning to cut it out
that the major leaguers have. The
federation cannot take any action that
would be effective this year. But, no
doubt, all freak deliveries will be
taboo in every organized sandlot city
next season.
And already the Cleveland Amateur
Baseball Association has banned the
freak deliveries. They're allowing for
mer spitballers to retain their moist
offerings for the remainder OF this
season. But there can be no more than
two on a team.
Cleveland is one OF the strong cities
OF the association, and whatever &C.
ton the C.. A. B. A. takes generally Is
passed on In the other cities.

Morgan at 3S7-R for details.
A game could have been played in
Pittsburgh yesterday, as the field was
in good condition. This is about the
first time Barney Dreyfuss ever miss
cd good bet and called off big game
"a hours in advance. But it is Barn
ey's own little funeral. Branch Hickey
of the Cards was all peeved up yes
terday when he found that the game
had boen called off. but he should
worry. His team will be getting
plenty of wallops before the season is
over.
The Yanks seem TO do better with
out Ruth than with him. He was out
of tho game yesterday and the New
York crew got away with the contest
on the proper side of the ledger.

The kid pitchers are always trying
TO copy the big league stars" says
Potts. He is generally judged, too. by
the scope OF his curve, the splitter and
the sinner. The woods are full Of them.
It's the same way with the college
stars-they're all trying the splitter.
But 1t is better for the youngsters
to lay off such deliveries II they ex
pect to get up in the baseball profes-
sion. Such tricks will do them no good
when they get tryouts with the clubs
OF organized baseball.
That makes 1t pretty tough, OF
course, on some OF the ex-professional
stars. who are now in the sandlot
game, and who are employing freak
deliveries in puzzling their opponents.

Local fans will likely turn out in
large numbers tomorrow afternoon to
see the Legion team in action at
South Side park against Clarksburg.
The bugs want to get chance to see
what brand OF ball the Legion can put
up. Looking over the lineup OF the
local team, we feel confident they
should be able to play good baseball,
and trust that they will come up to
expectations

There seems to be a strong under

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1920-12-06
A DIFFICULT TASK

Since President Wilson generously
agreed to use his good Offices in an at
tempt to solve the Armenian problem,
the status quo Of that precarious little
nation has altered materially.
According to, the reports of Friday
the Turkish Nationalist have driven
the Armenians back beyond their
boundaries, confirming them within the
small area assigned by the Turks and
Germans during the war, while Satur-
days dispatches assert that the Rus
sian soviet troops have captured their
chief city and that Armenia has set up
a soviet government.
1t is difficult to imagine what can
be done by peaceful mediation. 1t is
unlikely that moral suasion will induce
the Turks, who are in belligerent at
htude toward even the armed forces Of
Europe, to modify their plans, And
if the Armenians have set up a soviet
form of government they have prob
ably dismissed their responsible lead.

The Charlotte, N. c., Observer

The Charlotte. N. c., Observer,
quoted by the Manufacturers Record
says that the southern people will re-
gard MIR. Harding as their president
and as such accord him due respect,
and that the new president will have
no reason to anticipate more critical
attitude on the part of the south than
from any other section of the country.
This is certainly the right spirit
Parties are means and not ends. The
true end of all party activity is, or
should be, the welfare of the country
Mr.. Harding should be given fair
trial. Mere carping criticism is of no
value. Due allowance should be
made for the difficulties of his position.
He should not even be held responsible
for the scrameble for place and the
factional squabbles with which he will
be confronted from the first.
His administration should be tested
by the extent to which it promotes the
welfare of the whole country, of
course, including the south. If he rec
ommends those measures in which the
south is interested, if he is alive to the
interests of the southern people, if un-
der his administration the prosperity
which has been enjoyed by the south
for the last eight years is continued
