Small Wraps ofPeltry In De- mand for Wear With TaiE pred Frocks New Muffs In Fingertip Size = Point pdFox Leads In Favor for Neckpieces Graceful Shawls of Fur Show Span ish Influence.

~ HERE Is every evidence, despite N the scarcity and costliness of @ peltry, that furs will be more - fashionable than ever this com ing winter. Not only will they be worn in wraps and coats and in neck pieces and muffs, but also in trim mings on suits, frocks and even on indoor, negligee garments like tea gowns and breakfast gowns. Where all this fur is coming from nobody knows, but somehow or other it will be forthcoming-if fashion says so!
 Seal is especially hard to get and has become one of the exclusive belts, as exclusive as ermine and sable used to be. A sealskn coat now costs eight times as much as a coat of equal quality and similar style did a few years ago. Naturally therefore, seal skin is the pelt elect for distinguished trimming on winter suits and wraps and women whose seal coats have been worn and worn until there is no possibility of further wear, are having the best bits of the garment made into neckpieces, muffs. coats, hats-or smart little wraps if enough seal for a wrap can be achieved. It is wonder full what a furrier can do with scraps and bits of sealskin. The patience of these people,! They seem to think nothing of sewing together infinites- simal scraps and when the scraps are all pieced together, behold a beauti- ful, unbroken texture on the outer side! If you have ever tried to piece together small bits of fur to make a cravat or a hat, you have learned great respect for the fur-maker's art And it is this very art that makes your furs and mine. this winter so ex- pensive. Labor is the thing that costs money and infinite labor is required to piece together bits of fur into a whole garment. No slashing into yards of fabric and stitching up few seams; but patient work, matching and piecing bits of fur together-and that takes time.
 Seal Cravats Much Fancied
 Small neckpieces of seal in cravat style are in demand just now, and may or may not be matched by muffs. One must absolutely have fur neck piece when crisp fall weather arrives

COMMISSIONERS
VOTE TO RETAIN
CO. ACT CONNIE AT
INCREASED SALARY

The County Commissioners in sne-
c'al session today, decided to retain.
county Agent William CONNIE, at the
increased salary asked for, which
news will be received with much ap
proval by the progressive citizenship
Of the county.
Mr.. CONNIE has labored unremit-
t:ngly during the past year at a Who'll
ly inadequate salary, and, although
IN love with his work and anxious to
remain in Polk county, which affords
such fine field for his talents and
energies, he felt that in justice to
himself he would have to accept an
offer of much better salary from
Lake county where he formerly served
ac County Agent. and where his worth
is known and appreciated. The sal
airy he agreed to accept is still $500
a year less than the offer from Lake
Progressive citizens from all over
the county appeared before the com
missioners today, urging them to re
tain Mr.. CONNIE, whose value to the
agricultural and horticultural inter
ests is inestimable.

JACK cooMBs' SOUND ADVICE
Tiger Coach Urges Young Pitchers te Ignore Batter and Throw at
 Anatomy of Catcher.

If the Detroit Tigers are to have this year what they have lacked fol many seasons, it is up to Jack Coombs to do it to them. When Jack lectures the young pitchers this is what he tells 'em:
 Ignore the batter. Pitch to the anatomy of your catcher.
 "The catcher is your target. You must work with him and study his style of receiving. If he is a good catcher, he will remain stationary af- ter you have begun your wind up. And, in that event, all you have to do is pitch to his body.
 ''For instance, if you want to peg a low ball inside, pick out his right shoulder. To groove one, merely throw at his stomach. If you keep those things in mind, your control should be improved considerably.
 "But the most important thing is you will learn-to ignore your batter. It will make no difference whether you are pitching against 300 hitter or a seeond-string pitcher. They will all look alike to you because your mind will be on your catcher altogether ''

might tip Backs. Harry Lumley then was manager of the Dodgers and when Wheat reported from Mobile he was assigned to a position on the bench Wising up the kid, it is called. But this kind of learning made no hit with the greenhorn from the south. The Dodgers of that period were not much of ball club-they were known far and wide as joy club. The team was going bad, the outfield where Wheat thought he belonged, in partic- ular. Standing their pitiful efforts in the field and at the bat as long as he could, Wheat felt the restraint on him. self break. Marching himself to the office of President Ebbets, after a glaring. rank exhibition he is Said to have greeted his new boss thus:
 "Say, Mr. Ebbets, came here to get in your outfield and want chance to land there. If can't do better than any of that gang playing out here for Lumley. I'll pay my own way back to Mobile"
 Wheat's grit and ambition made hit with Ebbets. The next day Zack got his opportunity. The rest is his tory.

Greenhorn From South Told President Ebbets He Wanted Opportunity to

The dean of the Brooklyn Dodgers is Zack Wheat, who was acquired by Brooklyn from Mobile of the Southern league, by-purchase for $1,20O on Au- gust 29, 1909, but there is a player on the team whose connection with Brooklyn antedates Wheat's. He is Hi Myers of East Liverpool, who was sold to the Dodgers by Connellsville of the Pennsylvania and West Vir- ginia league for $500 on August 2, 1909, 27 days before title was secured to Wheat. But Wheat is entitled to the deanship. He has an unbroken record for service from the fall of 1909, while Myers was lowered i'll rank frequently.
 Had Myers shown the same aggres- sive spirit and taken baseball as seri- ously as Wheat did when he broke into the big show in the fall of 1909, his record for continuous service

Distinguished Himself on Coming to This Country by Defeating Willie Hoppe-Masse Shot Is
 His Strong Point.

Koji Yamada, the little Jap from Tokyo, the land that made the cherry blossom famous, is one of the most in- teresting of billiard players. He left Japan about 1910 and went to Ber- lin, Germany, to study medicine and bacteriology and, become a doctor, but one of the germs called billiard bug got into his blood and he became a bil- Hard player instead. He came to this country in 1912 and entered profes- sional tournament and immediately dis tinguished himself by beating Hoppe, much to the surprise of everybody, in- cluding Hoppe himself.
 Short of stature with a big mass of black hair, he moves about the table slowly, never in hurry, careful and deliberate, and if he was ever nervous
The Connecticut labor press., 1920-05-22

Tn his life nobody has ever suspected it. He takes his good and bad luck with an equal air of indifference that suggests a fatalist.
 Yamada's general style of play is something of the Hoppe system. He does not specialize in any one thing. Yamada uses a short cue of 19-ounce weight. His stroke is quick and short and snappy. He bends over in shoot ing so that his chin almost touches his cue. He is good executor. Just before coming from San Francisco, where he now makes his home, in playing red ball in an academy there he ran 63, which is record for the academy. Rouge or red ball is a game where the player must play from the red ball each time.
 Yamada's one special outstanding strong point is the masse shot. Even the other players concede him this distinction. Some of his fancy ex- hibition masse shots are nothing less than wonderful Yamada has pleas Ing personality, makes friends readily and is we'll liked everywhere.
