J. I'll. LEWIS COMMENT
ON THURSDAY GAME

J. H. Lewis in Saturdays Times
Journal had the following to say of
the Thursday game:
1t was long after chore time in the
brush league when Lancaster and the
Dubuque White Sox finished their
milling at Lancaster yesterday after
noon in which Lancaster won by a
thirteen innings.
Now if it hadn't been for that I'M
lucky thirteenth it is mighty hard
telling what would have happened.
Well, no doubt the game would have
been called on account of darkness
with the score knotted. AS it were,
an order was sent to town for num-
Der of lanterns. They wanted one
on home plate.
Real Baseball Fans.
Lancaster has some real baseball
bugs, the kind that follow the game
from play to play and who have the
real baseball craftsmanship spirit. 1t
was Thursday afternoon, week day
baseball, when more or less can be
found about the farm and home to
do. These little trivials were laid
the ball game. There was close to 500
rooters there. There was quite few
from Platteville, too.
After the ninth inning the big blaz-
ing sun was beginning to disappear
behind the hills. Many of the fans
were ready to go home. Like lot of
others they do not believe in working
overtime. But from the ninth on it
was real baseball game, full OF
anxious moments. The fans just
want to stay and see the outcome.
Along in the eleventh inning in the
distance, you could hear the cattle
lowing. But this mad little effect on
the farmer fans. They didn't give
gosh darn, they wanted to see the
finish There were few who left be-
fore it was all over, those who had
far to go naturally stepped out little
earlier.

For the last three months the Lam
caster management has been trying
IN vain to arrange a game with the
high and mighty Pale Hose. of Dubu-
que, but it seemed as if all their eff
forts would be in vain But finally
the Sox did manage to find an open
date and decided to step over to our
burg and take fall out Of "the small
town fellers" who seemed to be en-
tirely too chesty.
Therefore on last Thursday they
invaded our fair city and were sent
home on the short end of to
score, chastened and downhearted
bunch of ball players, taking with
them the 'fbeefng" championship of
Southwestern Wisconsin.
1t took 13 innings of real baseball
to come to a decision and the shout
ing could be heard for miles when
l.. Adrian beat Armstrong; throw to
the plate with the deciding run.
On no one player can the laurels
Of victory be pinned as they all
played like veteran leaguers.
For eight innings Jimmy Dodge out
pitched his opponent allowing but
five men to reach first base. In the
ninth inning they got to him for two
singles and a double which knotted
the count. In the eleventh, with one
run in and two men on the paths, our
ever reliable "Rowdy" went in the
box and held the Sex to two hits for
the remaining innings.
Dubuque threatened to score in the
first and second innings but with
good pitching and sparkling support
our boys kept them away from the
plate. Lancaster drew first blood in
the third when Dodge drew a base on
balls. Bell sacrificed him to second
and he moved to third when r. Nc
Donough threw Hixon out at first.
Buck" then came thru with a hit
and Jimmy raced home.
Bell doubled to left in the fifth but
died on second. In the sixth Carl
Young lifted one Of Forkes' cripples
to the track in right center and made
the circuit with lots of time to spare.
G.. Schleuter led off for the Sox in
the ninth with a safe blow to left and
after L. Schleuter had whitfield, Arm

PLATTEVILLE MAN SCARED

Chas. Pickett of Platteville, drove
into town about 1920 Sunday night a
badly scared man. He related that on
the Lancaster road near the city he
had been accosted and ordered to
stop. There were two cars, one on
each side of the road, and three men
at each car. Instead of stopping,
Pickett ''gave her the gas" and hur-
ried on to Platteville. 1t is generally
assumed that he was the victim of a
joke or inexperienced hold-ups.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

The Dubuuuers seemed to be a
mighty poor bunch of sports and
were continually "beefng" at the
umpire. Some of their complaints
were really laughable Anyone who
has seen them play on their nome
grounds can easily understand their
methods. as it is we'll known that
they always expect the shade. Slim
Lewis is known as one of the best
umpires in the state and 1t must nave
been quite novelty for them TO come
in contact with an umpire upon whom
their bull-dozing tactics had no ell
feet.
our friend j. H., in his story to
the Times-Journal, tried to convey
the idea that it was all a mistake Tor
our Village" team to put the skids
on the Sox from the metropolis Cd fot
Dubuque. Really we had never
noticed anything so very cosmopolitan
or metropolitan about j. II. or ms
adopted city. We must admit that ne
wie1ds a nasty pen and that it is al
WAYS a red letter day for him when
he can shoot his sarcastic squibs at
our ball team. AS writer of mining
news he is Al but as baseball cor
respondent CD.
According to one of the Dubuque
naners the COWS were believing and
everyone was worried over the chores
This was a slight mistake. the cows
were not believing. 1t was just the
echo of some of the believing at the
grounds and it had distinctly DuDu-
que tinge.
Jimmy Dodge pitched a swell
came until he broke open an old sore
on his pitching hand in the ninth in
Ming. Up to this time ten local and
five Dubuque players reached first
base Dodge asked to be taken out
in the ninth as it was very painful TO
grin the ball. AS Blackbourn's arm
was not in shape Jimmy stuck until
one run was over III the eleventh,
when Elliott took the slab. "Rowdy',
had a swell break on his hook and
lots of control.

Correct Fall Shoe Styles
 By Chester

Two-tone effects are rigidly avoided by the discriminating dressers.
 Roomier Lasts Favored. | A word more about the more fla miliar and established English walk ing shoes. They are of simple re- fined vogue and always retain place of their own in shoe fashions, vary ing but slightly in their general characteristics. The past seasons in duced a more exaggerated pointing but the roomier lasts of the fall styles have re-established the more natural dignity that marks these models.
 The tendency to "square-toes' and more generous lasts Is one to be en- couraged, as it will produce bene- ficial effect on mems feet, besides fur nishing a more natural and graceful shoe.
The Coconino sun., 1921-11-04

playing more rounded toes following the natural lines of the foot.
 Brown is the popular color for fall. Rusaet and ccrdovan shades are preferred as compromise between the very dark browns and light tans.
 Black, dull and gun-metal finishes as ever retain their position of cor rectness in all seasons.
 Few Button Models Shown.
 Not many button models are to be worn. A few patent leather ones with kid tops are dis played for strict ly formal occasions.
 More favored than the button mod els are patent oxfords with light hard turned soles for dress wear.
 Spats are worn with these, giving the necessary protection from the cold and producing very smart ef- feet. For use in this connection the lighter shades of lawn, tan, pearl and beige are employed, but for more or d;rary wear dark gray, brown and bla-k spats are preferred.
The Coconino sun., 1921-11-04

the instep. It was bound to the clip per with a row of amethysts. Among the black slippers, patent leather will be worn. This is not a comfortable shoe in summer, but the cool days of fall will see many of them. A high-heeled pump of this leather showed an interesting wide pointed band of self material, stitched with white pattern across the instep.
 Two other dress slippers boasted embroidery of stitching on their toes. One pair of black suede wore blue on tan prettily patterned, while another strap slipper of brown satin wore tan and brown.
 And then there is that intensely in- trigriing matter of buckles. Some of them might be more appropriately called buttons, if such jewelled af- fairs would permit it. One dazzling round bit encircled large jade stone with rhinestones. Others of bril- liants made butterflies, true lovers knots and crescents. Not quite so brilliant but very original is round buckle of nail heads and cut steel beads. Wide square buckles come in cut steel and bronze.
 Street shoes will cling to the good old military heel while dress slippers will continue to pirouette on the full Louis. The Junior Louis heel has it's own admirers, and has come more and more into demand.
 More Than One Pair.
 'There was an old woman who lived in shoe," Mother Goose tells us. We'll, she was fortunate. Nowadays, what is one shoe? Each time of the day demands it's appropriate boot, so that one must be possessed of many pairs to be correctly dressed. Imagine living in one shoe!
The Coconino sun., 1921-11-04

satisfied with the good old calf and kids.
 One wonders why leather comes from such youthful animals--is it not because it has more spring in it?
 One is we'll aware how political party, having been out of power, promptly reverses all the work done by its predecessors, once it returns to the seat of authority. Just so the styles reverse the fads of the previous season. This spring wes many-colored as to leather. So autumn will reverse this idea and return to black. Black will be good in clothes, too, as well as in boots. Of course, the dark brown oxford will be in again, lace oxford to be worn with spats. Strap oxfords do not quite lend themselves to the trig appearance of the smartly smooth spat.
 To the Boot-top?
 Oh, yes, there is that important question of the skirt length. There seems to be general feeling that skirts will be longer, about ten inches from the floor. Some say they should be at the top of the boot. But how can one determine that when many of us will be wearing oxfords?
 For dress wear, black satin is al- ways good. In fact, it now seems to have become an all-year-round ma terial. Dress slippers, daintily strap ped pumps, all the various styles for afternoon and evening wear are con trived of this stuff. Buckles-of rhine stones and embroidery, and beaded eff fects will be used.
 One of the novelties in black satin was pretty strap pump with an un- usual decoration. This was fascin- ating fringe of dull gold narrow chains, each ending in ball, across
