OVER YANK OUTLOOK
Expects to See CoIorfuI, Bang
up Race in the American
League.
By JACK VEIOCk.

NEW YORK. March 6.--"we will
enter the coming Iace with the finest,
best balanced club we've ever had.
, II we don't win the pennant, will
be honestly surprisedv
Col. T. L. Huston. part owner of
the Yankees. who is on his way to
the training camp at Shreveport to-
day made this assertion before
leaving for the West.
II expect to see colorful. bang
up race In the American League
from the very start. Cleveland and
at least two other clubs will oe
sure to figure strongly. But j feel
that the Yankees will finish in front.
NOT As A PREDICTION.
I'm not saying this by way Of a
prediction, for there is always the
element OF luck 20 be figured and
we have had our share of mis-
FORTY mes. But our team has all the
elements Of a pennant winner. We
have powerful hitting. good fielding,
and fine pitching material. The
deals engineered during the winter
by Manager Huggins that brought
Bobbie Roth, Wallie Schang. Harry
Harper, and Waite Hoyt to New
York gave US the balance we needed.
The comeback OF Frank Baker
was most welcome. sized Baker up
In Washington recently and can
say that he has kept himself in
good shape. don't believe his
years lay OF will prove a great
handicap, and IL confidence has any
thing to do with it. he will be as
good as he was in 1919. One reason
why we re-engaged Baker was his
confidence in his ability to catch on
where he left of with the Yanks.
Why. he's as enthusiastic as a boy.
which is saying something for a
veteran Of his experience.
HAS REAL CONFIDENCE.
Il don't generally get so enthusi-
astic this early in the season on
prospects alone. but have more
genuine confidence in the Yanks this
year than I've ever had before. They
look like a team that will set the
pace in hitting from the start and
with cleanup batters like Ruth.
Roth and Baker. I don't expect to
see many Yankee runs die on the
bases-
I'm not holding Cleveland OF any
other team lightly. mind you"
Huston concluded. The Indians
have a fine club and a hustling
manager. They also have the con-
ndence that comes to a winner. The
st. Louis Browns look strong and
the Washington Senators will be a
hard aggregation for any one TO
beat Chicago and Detroit may sur
prise all comers as I see II now. but

There is. in fact, strong probabil-

An odd feature of the race is that
States Relations. three games be-
hind the leaders. has spilled 30,756 of
the little NAPLES as against total

Captain Tucker of States cites this
as an illustration of the hoplelessness
OF competing with skill against luck.
But DIR. George Il. Holmes, profession

"It would be positively unscientihc

discussion OF the affairs OF this

chief occupation OF the members of
the league, their spare time lie de-

ing fan is much more fashionable
than the tiny fiuttering fan, and one
can pose ever so much more effective
ly with large fan. The new fans have
changed in shape too. They are COM
pact and higher than they are wide;
that is the sticks at the center are
much longer than the sticks at the
end. Three illustrations give an idea
of this new effect and show the ap-
proved shape for lace fans. ''Of
course" as one disgruntled woman
declares; this is a mean contrivance
on the part of fashion to make every
body buy new fan instead of getting
out a handsome heirloom lace fan
and making it do For the old
fashioned lace fans are in the wide,
low shape, with sticks all the same
length. and the handsome lace OF the
fan cannot be mounted on new sticks
because the pattern was made for the
long-low shape.

artist could achieve this seemingly
simple but as a matter of fact, ex-
tremely clever arrangement of crown

One of the striking models noted on
Fifth Avenue last week had a velvet
bow that is worth recording. The hat
was gray velvet with brim slightly
narrower at the back than at sides or
front-one of those becoming semi
poke brims. And this brin was faced
with shirred black velvet. About two
yards of very wide black velvet rib
bon made the bow; which was really
not a bow at all, since the ribbon was
not tied anywhere. How it was kept
in place was a mystery, for the wide
ribbon curveted about in two big loops
that looked as though the wind had
whipped them out and up. above the
crown and over the edge of the brim.
OF course, the velvet ribbon must have

the modern maid acquires slang. The
modern maid does not know the mid
Victorian fan language-but she does

believe this, watch any pretty girl

This season fans are going to be
more expressive than ever, for trans
parent ones are coming in. A lot more
can be expressed through a transpar-
ent fan than with a fan that COM
pletely hides the face when it is lifted.

If the light lunch or afternoon tea

cream or pale yellow linen are spread
over the tables before the trays OF re-

dainty cover is spread over the table,
four dainty napkins to match the
cover are laid in place. An attractive
set OF the kind is of pale yellow linen,
