The newly designated junior varsity

Admitted Being Pitcher
To get right down to the meat of il
all. II was RoiliC MAYORS pitching. a
couple of seasons ago ROlliC drifted in
among us from the Slgc and mesquite.
re said he was a pitcher and lot of
folks believed him.
When he finally wandered out to the
diamond there was faint suspicion
that, perhaps he really had told the
truth: but you cant always tell when
recruit members of the House of Mack
are being referred to.
For a while Rollic showed stuff. The
real kind it was. too. Then something
happened. Rollie went off color like
a six dollar and fifty- cent serge in the
sun on Utah desert.
Last year there were flashes when
hol!ic was and lot more fasnrs when
Rollic wasn't.
hut Connie clung to him like a
gray haired mother TO waywnrd son.
Connie is the best little hopper who ever
drew the ozone.
This season again RolIc looked a,
though he was--until it began to count
and then he wasn't.
Lately. however. Connie had bcrn
beginning to believe that some of his
patience would be rewarded. He tried
MAYOR couple of times with indif.
Grcnt results. Yesterday the lanky

1t was only another one of those
attacks Of homcrunitis that gummed
things all up. II came in the yc,y
first inning. after two Indians had
bitten the dust and also taken n drink
Of water. Then Wamby doubled but
nobody was much worried. There were
scattering few who recalled that FL.
mer Smith had spoiled a perfectly good
marty for Brooklyn in our last Worlds
Series by shifting the ball to various
parts of the geography.
Consequently. il was not the rudest
kind of surprise when Smitty pokel

There were n lot Of times when things
looked bright for Comics crew. for
instance, when J. Walker slammed one
into the bleachers in the second. thus
reviving the home run mania for our
own hopefuls. but not enough came OF
these threats and the works were
ruined.
just the same it was worth losing
game to know that among those who
can be classed as pitchers on the Mack
pay roll the name of Naylor can once
again be included.

Not Worried Condition


IXTHAT about Mile. Lenglen--the
w Immortal Suzanne?
Next to Carpenter. she has been the
idol of France upon the field OF Com
petition---more Of an idol than we can
appreciate back home, where we have
so many stars to cheer and follow.
France hasn't many who hold the
athletic heights. The list is short.
So when he,land Of the Fleur-de LIS
happens upon "a Carpenter and Leng-
len, they find welcome that is amaz-
ingly warm, not to say overpowering.
MILE. LENGLEN is tennis mar
1Vl vel, as well as an athletic phe-
nomenon. Which is also to say that
her athletic prowess Is no light part
of her tennis ability.
She Is a well built. black haired
young girl. or young woman. who. of
the court. is Parisian' in degrees to
the ultimate degree, She is no believer
at all in any drab effect when II comes
to dress, and this holds also on the
courts. At play she is astonishingly
fast and active on her feet. as well as
fast and powerful with her hands. Not
to be overly modest about it. she has
the muscular legs Of dancer or
Jumper. twin calves of power that carry
her high into the air or to either corner
Of the court at extreme speed.
TENNIS, among the women at least,
i has never developed player be-
fore who Is so often and so high in
the air. Nor among women has It de-
veloped more than one or two who can
hit tennis ball as hard, She hAs
fine wrists and powerful forearm that
give her a smashing quality rare In
the opposite sex in most things.
Strangely enough. with all this speed
and power. with her tendency to leave
the ground Mt every possible, chance
and stroke the ball while high above
the turf or clay; she also has unusu,
ally good control. Most of these hard
hitters who jump at ball are wild.
Mile. isn't. She is extremely accurate
in her placing. and the ball doesn't
lose any valuable time getting there.
At HER best she is capable of giving
n first class male player a harder
game than any woman that ever played.
Two Of Tilden's main qualities. FOR
example, are speed and power. They

but to an abnormal one for q woman.
There Is no puff powder work about
her play. not even when you compare
it to the masculine gam.
POSSESSING extreme confidence in
L her ability to handle any situation,
she has winning competitive tempera-
ment, temperament that combines
coolncss and dash. chance taking and
craft. These qualities, plus her physi-
cal abilities, have made her outclass
most of the women she has met for the
last two years. where even first class
players have been repeatedly beaten in
love sets. She gets going at top speed
from the jump. and is apparently tire
less. There Is practically no effort in
these court gymnastics. She doesn't
seem to be exerting herself to leap three

Cooperation of Industry
in Fighting Proposed
Measure Asked at Con-
vention; Outlook Brighter

Shoe manufacturers yesterday moved
to support the tanners in their fight on
the proposed tariff measure now before
Congress for consideration which
places a tariff on raw hides. The con-
vention of the National Boot and Shoe
Manufacturers Association, which
opened yesterday at the Hotel Astor,
voted unanimously an expression OF
opinion opposed to any duty on hides.
Such duty, in the opinion of manu-
cattle raiser, since the price of cattle
is controlled mainly by the meat mar
ket and hides are merely offal. A
special committee of the Tanners
Council of America met last night ITO
consider active opposition to the tariff
measure, and the cooperation of the
shoe manufacturers, as we'll rs whole
salers and retailers, in fighting the
proposed tariff was asked. 1t is ex-
pected that joint committee repre-
sentIng the entire shoe trade will go
ter.
IN opening the convention yesterday
J. +. McElwain, president, called at
tentlon to several factors of an opti-
mlstlc character in the present situa-
ton. These are easier money, lower
prices, improved transportation, greater
economy, brighter foreign trade out
look, and in the shoe industries, Sound
values in hides and SKINS he said.
1t was the opinion of manufacturer RS
present at the meeting that shoe prices,
so far as the manufacturer is con-
cerned, have reached bottom; that the
retailer is aware Of this, particularly
as concerns women's shoes, and is act
ing upon it by placing fair orders for
spring footwear to be delivered within
the next two months.
Most of the session yesterday was
taken up by reports of various com
mittees. The committee on cost &C.
counting dwelt on the necessity of ab-
solute costs in shaping new merchan-
dising plans, now more thar ever,
since the inactivity in many factories
has piled up the overhead, 50 that at
present overhead costs on each pair of
shoes produced are much larger than
they were last year.
Inc shoe manufacturers approved the
ablishment Of the War Finance
Corporation, and enthusiastically ap-
plauded Eugene Meyer jr., former
managing director of the corporation,
who explained the relation of the
body to American industry and held
out high hopes Of aid, particularly in
foreign trade channels.
To-day the convention will consider
the general market situation and bring
in recommendation on styles, lasts,
feathers and patterns for the coming
season. A banquet tonight will close
the conclaye.

Gray Goods Less Active
More Finished Cotton Fabrics
Placed "At Value''

The broadened activity in the gray
or unfinished cotton goods market.
which set in last week, has simmered
down and prices yesterday were some-
what easier. The standard $3.50, 381a
inch print cloths were sold yesterday
at So cents c yard for spots and fu-
lures, after reaching cents last week.
Some speculation is creeping into the
gray goods market, and is not entirely
absent in finished goods, according to
trade leaders.
1t is understood that some Of the
EAST Side" speculative jobbers were
among the heaviest buyers o. ging-
hams, percales and other fabrics at the
low prices made at the first of the
year. Since then many prices have
been advanced slightly, and if the buy
ers now in the market are unable to
fill their requirements from regular
selling agents, it is thought that the
speculative jobbers are in q position to
take a good profit for quick turn in
the goods they purchased recently.
Yesterday saw more large selling
agents placing bleached goods. ging
hams, percales and cretonnes "at
value" price to be determined later.
Early delivery on most branded goods
cannot be promised by selling agents
now.

Less Interest in Foxes
Shown at Fur Sale

Buyers yesterday showed less in.

tom Sales Corporation now being hell

twentyfour blue fox tails which were
finally Rocked down at $12 each Offer
ings. Of gray foxes and sundries cx-
cited little interest among the buyers
Prices on al foxes fell from 40 to
60 per cent. compared to prices at the
Aprl sale.F The price on blue foxes
showed decline of 40 per cent from
April, wT,e the price OF silver foxes
dropped so per cent. civet. cat, so per

fell below the prices expected by those
who had consigned the goods to the
sale. Other declines were white fox,
cross fox, As per cent? Australian fox,
as per cent, and kolnsky, So per cent.
