HORSE SHOW FASHION
IN BLACK AND WHITE

That the Devon Horse Show is a
success from the sCartorial viewpoint
was evident and the fact that it Is to
be black and white summer was
proved by the number of white flannel
costumes and black hats sprinkled
thickly among the darker crepe de
chimes and sport suits. Owing to the
brisk breeze in the morning, many
sports suits were worn.
Kitty Penn Smith wore smart
sport suit of Nile green English tweed
and large, gray, soft felt hat, Mrs.
Archibald Barklie, who is chairman of
the Country Fair, was attractively COS
TUNED in sweater dress of tightly
woven white silk and a medium sized
sport hat Of blue and white.
Tan Sport Coats.
Miss Virginia Heckscher and Miss
Augusta W. Harrison, who were to-
gether in one of the boxes, wore tan
sport coats. Miss Harrison's hat was
of white knitted wool and faced in dark
blue. Miss Heckscher's was of ragged
robin blue wool material.
Mrs. X. Penn Smith who is in charge
of the rummagc sale, wore a dark blue
canton crepe and a blue sailor hat.
Miss Jeanne dc RouSSe, who was as =
sisting at the rummage sale. wore n
becoming frock Of olive green jersey
cloth and nobby small sport hat oi
Nile green. The rummageg sale con
tinued to do thriving business all dur

most business of all the booths of the
Midway or Easy street. Mrs. Charlie,
Mum was striking in sport suit o

do not set myself up as a judge.
] am no lawyer and am not familiar
with the legal or technical angles of
the case that has dragged baseball
into the mud. But am ball player,
and for whatever success i may have
had. / am grateful to the millions OF
enthusiastic patronizing fans and 1.-THE
club owners who have invested their
fortunes in the great American game.
To be sure, many of them have made
big money out of baseball, but so have
many ball players.
Wishes to Express Himself.
While hesitate to put myself in
the light of passing judgment, my
stories running twice weekly in all
parts of the United States. and my
name appearing in the daily baseball
news, makes me feel that silence
might be seriously misconstrued by
many of my friends and the fans who
have remained loyal to the game this
year despite baseball's greatest
scandal.
1 think Mr.. Heydler, president of
the National League, best covered the
situation when, according to news
paper article, he said. THE acquittal
was secured solely on the inability
to prove conspiracy and not on the
question of crooked baseball" That
unfortunate technically is the only
flaw on the White Sox guilt.
Assailant Brought to Trial.
To make a comparisons: II a man
IL killed in a civilized country his
assailant is brought to trial and SEN
fenced according to the circum-
stances. If guilty In the first degree
he Is generally doomed to die. He
is a murderer and branded as such.
But among uncivilized tribes man
may kill another man and go unmo-
Tested SO far as law is concerned.
Technically he is not murderer be-
cause he Is not convicted. But kill
ing is killing and crooked baseball Is
crooked baseball, no matter how you
twist the technicalities.
When the accused White Sox play
ers were indicted by grand jury
certain ones confessed under oath
that they had been guilty of throw
ing baseball games. II they lied In
those sworn statements they should
now be prosecuted for perjury.
But II they told the truth In those
confessions. then, regardless of jury
verdicts, they stand guilty in the eyes
of every fan and ball player in
America.

Hailing from northeast, the indie
pendents have licked leading young
teams from every part of the city.
The Aztecs, southwest Youngsters,
have achieved a like record and these
two teams, probably the youngest en-
tered in the Junior class of the series,
have come to regard one another as
keen, though amicable rivals.
Play Big Game Today.
Today they will play the third and
deciding game of a series, each hav-
ing beaten the other by fairly close
score. But the boys feel that no
matter who wins today's contest, the
games in the championship series
will be the ones to determine their
relative ability.
A red-hot grudge is to be settled
by the Mohawk Juniors and the
Quentins. These teams are neigh
borhood rivals in that portion of
southeast beyond Eighth street. Re.
Gently they engaged in a three-game
I-series for the Junior title of south
east, but the championship never was
settled to the satisfaction of both
teams because of a kick made by the
Quentins that one of the games won
by the Mohawk Juniors was not to
have been counted in the series.
A more suitable opportunity than
will be had in the championship series
TO settle this row could not be offered.
Fans Interested.
Followers of the city's junior teams
are expected to go in large numbers
to the games of these four clubs. The
Aztecs and Independents will clash
Tuesday on the Shamrock diamond at
Fourteenth street and Potomac ave-
nue. southeast. 1t would have been
bett-< to book this, particular game
for a more generally convenient field,
but the committee framing the sched-
ules was confronted with a wicked
task In satisfying all teams in the as
signment of fields.
Had two other teams, the Roamers
and Benning A. c., been drawn also
for section A, the series would have
been peculiarly interesting to the In.
dependents. The Independents, al.
though acknowledged to be one of the
most sportsmanlike young teams in
the city, had quite a fuss with both
the Roamers and Benning A. C. in a
three-game series with each.

Suburban Prepares.
The Suburban Tennis League, with
seven-club circuit, appears to be get
ting stronger and stronger. Many
players from the Washington Tennis
Association are taking part in the Sub
urban matches. The league has affili-
ated with the u. S. N. l.. T. A. and
proving to be the widest awake Of the
District organiza tons.
The coming tournament of the Sub
urban League is expected to provide a
much more satisfactory way Of rank
ing the singles players than in the
matter Of matches played during the
summer. The final standing of the
teams with the matches played team
By team combined with the showing
made in the tournament is calculated
TO give a good idea of the true stand
ing of the players at the end of the
season.
Women Are Active.
The Women's Tennis Association
has come to the front with renewed
activity this season, staging a most
successful season under the best con-
ditions that have obtained for many
sea sons.
The interest in the organization
as well as the development of many
first-class young players augurs well
for the participation of the women

The coming tests are sure TO at
tract considerable attention in the

championship diverted public opin-

they can be counted upon to finish

Eddie Collins Word
for This.

There is a little story of J.
Franklin Baker, third sacker of
the Yankees, which the fans can
take or leave, but Eddie Collins,
of the White Sox, says it is true.
According to the tale, Baker was
ploughing in the fields down in
his home one day and a stranger
came along, seeking direction to
a certain nearby point. He
hailed Baker and told him what
she wanted. The home run prince
thought for a minute and then
said in his quiet way: "Oh, yes;
he lives right over yonder." And
instead of pointing with his hadn
he gripped the plough handles,
yanked the ploughshare out of
the furrow and held it five feet
in the air to clearly indicate the
direction.
