On the occasion of the second clash
between the Giants and the Yankees
Yesterday at the Polo Grounds il can
be recorded that there was a feminine
touch to the world series picture. At
the opening, Wednesday, women had
no part in the big show and they were
glad enough to sink, with sort of
overwhelming feeling. into their box
or grandstand seats and leave all the
little stacy acts, except when enthu-
siasm boiled over, to the men.
But the day that the Yankees were
the home team and the Giants the
visitors Miss Helen Rouse came we'll
TO the fore when Gov. Miller headed
the procession that marched across the
field to the cheers of some $4,000 fans.
The Governor fell in behind the band,
which waited some time for him at
and Immediately behind walked Col.
Jacob Rupert. president of the cham
pion American League team. accom-
panied by Miss Rouse, who was
dressed in a becoming tailor suit of
tobacco leaf brown, hat to match the
eables.

forgotten in the more serious work OF
The afternoon.
Comparatively speaking there were
fewer women in the grandstand and
bleachers in proportion to the number of
r,en than the previous day. but as the
crowd was considerably greater there
may have been as good a showing as
two pennant teams. Most of the women
were in the boxes or down in the front
fcats. They came early. took their |
places and tried hard not to ask too
many questions of their absorbed male |
companions.

Every now and then some player does

Babe Ruth is as fussy about his bat

or the kind of face powder she uses. He
looked over every club in the Yankees
lugout before he could find one that
suited. And speaking OF face powder.
ihe feminine fans have found a new
wrinkle for the stretching seventh.
While the men stand up and wave their
trrns the women powder their noses.
