CITY TEAM
BEATS GIANTS
in FAST GAME

The first of a series of games for
tn championship of Newport was
played at Gaines Trotting park Sat"
urday. 1t was a bitter struggle, nip
and tuck throughout nine innings for
the big end of the score between the
Newport city team and the Newport
Giants, team of resurrected former
stars. The score was tie in the
eighth and it was only in the ninth
that the city team was able to put
across the three tallies that decided
the contest II to 9.
1t was expected before the contest
that Red Kibbee, Clyde Engle's star
right finger from the strong Univer-
sity of Vermont team, would preside
on the mound for the Newport
Giants, who had gotten into COM
munication with him. Unfortunately
a telegram was received from the big
auburn haired twirler shortly before
the game, he was unable to pitch on
account of the necessity of his work
ing in a scheduled game at Three
Rivers Sunday.
Max Chamberlain was on the mound
for the city team while Perley Hill
and Scion Hill formed the battery fer
the Giants.
Although much faster contests have
been played in this city, it is doub full
if any game was ever more holly
fought than the inter-city tussle last
Saturday Morrill, who has been play
ing in the Sunset League covered the
keystone sack for the Giants and
acquitted himself creditably. He
met the sphere squarely on every trip
to the rubber and fielded well. He has
played for a semi-professional team
in Washington, D. c., and should
make a valuable acquisition for the
city team as he intends to reside IN
Newport.

NEAT STAND FOR PATCHWORK
Old Washboard May Be Easily Con- Verted Into an Attractive and Use
 full Receptacle.

What girl does not like a room that is heightened by bit of cretonne ? What girl would not like a place to keep sewing materials and bits of fancywork where they are out of the way and easy to reach when one has an inspiration to sew2 A normal girl likes both of these things, and the great number of normal girls in the world will be glad of an opportunity to learn how to make that bit of fur niture which is so useful and colorful
 This stand is made out of a wash board. An old washboard will do. A cretonne work pocket is tackled along the front and sides of the board. A slight frame of wood should be made to keep the cretonne away from the board at the top, so that good-sized pocket is formed. The cretonne, of course, is tackled fast to the bottom of the board.
 Before the cretonne is tackled into place the zinc should be covered with

OBLONG PARAs0L 1920 MODEL
Transparent, GayIy CoIored Things, Wet and Glistening, Are Atten-
 tion Arresting.

The dreariness of a rainy day may be utterly defed if one is fortified by a bright colored oiled silk umbrei- Ia. Although we have become accus- toned to protecting ourselves from the downpour by umbrellas of bright silks, these transparent, gaylys colored things, all wet and glistening with rain, are attention arresting. They come in colors as brilliant as the rain bows hues. The transparent effect is carried out even in the tips and the handles, which are of bakelite.
 The oblong parasol is the parasol of 1920. So say it's makers. But 1t Is impossible to predict the extent of its success. There is no reason why we should not carry oblong parasols They certainly have many advantages over the round ones. There are few CT angles to interfere with your own or other peoples hats on crowded promenade Then one can set them on the beach with the certainty that they will not roll away under the i'm petus of the slightest breeze. When closed they give a petal effect.

BOUND TO DELIVER SPEECH
Guest at Banquet Must Have Some what Astonished the Rest of
 the Gathering.

There was to be banquet at an Indianapolis church and one of the parishioners felt sure that he would be called on for a speech. Realizing how poor he was at impromptu speeches he accordingly made ready for this occasion by writing one and then memorizing it.
 The night of the banquet came and after rehearsing his speech to his proud wife the parishioner went to church, elated over his forethought. The crowd assembled and gathered around the table. And then-then the minister called on the parishioner to say grace"
 For a minute he was appalled-also his wife. But bravely he rallied and began to compose a grace. He gave one sentence, hesitated and then, to his wffe's horror, plunged into the middle of his speech. He finished it. too. Of course every one was amazed. his wife most of all, for you see he even used his practiced gestures.
