WIDE RANGE OF SPORT ToGS
Name Applies to General, Practical
Clothes-Smart Apparel That
Adds to Milady's Charm.

The word sport as now applied to
clothes covers a wide range OF ap-
parel. No longer can this term be
taken to describe those clothes to be
worn on golf links and for other out
door recreatlons. Sport clothes are
general, practical clothes-the smart,
seryiceable clothes that make girl
or woman look spick and span, trlg,
trim and buslnessllke.
This type OF tailored and semi-tail-
orer apparel is admirably suited 10 the
American woman and her activities,
and 1t is unquestionably this quality of
appropriateness that has, more than
anything else, helped TO establish sport
clothes in this broad and general way.
Our everyday tailored suit and the
topcoat that proves such an Ideal ad-
dItlon TO this outfit when emergency
demands are sport clothes In their
well.tallored, well-cut development, III
the simplicity Of their designs and the
excellence OF the material OF when
/
they are made.
So too, the word sport applies
truthfuliy to the tailored and semi
tailored blouses and shirts of mannlsh
wash silk that many business and COL
lege girls affect and to the more dec.
oratiye and more feminine smocks ana
oyerblouses, for is not serviceability'
quite as much as style, a dominant
note of these well.established gar
ments?
For sport clothes may be as plain
and practical as will suit the most
conservative, yet be endowed with the
charm of color and the allurement OF
semi.concealment.

THE WOODS
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
CHILDREN OF THE SPRING.

WHAT means the Spring to your
w The tree, the bloom, the grass
Wide fields to wander through;
A primrose path to pass,
Bright sun, and skies of blue;
The songs of singing streams;
The ripping riverside
Awakening from dreams;
Fair-browed and azure-eyed-
Oh, thus the Springtime seems.
Yet not for such as you
She comes with song and voice,
IT'S not for such as you
She makes the heart rejoice,
She comes with skies Of blue.
Springs children are the ILL
It's these she comes to cheer;
Upon the window-sill,
Within the chamber drear,
She sits her song TO trill.
On narrow cots they lie
Within the quiet room,
Their sky a square of sky
Cut from the inner gloom,
From dreary walls and high.
Spring means so much to these,
The prisoners abed l.
The perfume of the breeze.
The birdsong overhead,
The echoed melodies.
The window open wide
Behold, the Spring Is here
No more the countryside
Is dim and dark and drear;
Now stronger runs the tide.
The pale and patient wife,
Her babe upon her breast,
Forgets the night the knife,
And sleeps the sleep of rest,
Awakening to life.
The old. the very old.
Behold in budding Spring
Another year unfold
And life, a tinsel thing,
Is turned again to gold.
And cen the empty cot.
Whose Spring has come too lat
The one who now Is not,
The one who could not walt,
The Spring has not forgot.
For. see! the Springtlme stands
Our dropping eyes to, raise
10 fair and shining strands;
The springtime comes and lays
A lily In bis hands.

After Incident On

enough to bear telling about
II was during the series with
the Senators in the South and
the Giants had no captain. At
Jackson, Tenn, where the Sen
ators forfeited a game TO the
New Yorks, a dispute came up
and Bancroft chirped, why, that
man Mcbride is crazy. Somebody
ought to tell him a few things"
"Well, why don't you go out
and tell them to him." replied
McGraw. you're the captain Of
this club. That's your business"
Bancroft was surprised and
somewhat taken abaek by the
manner in which he got the ap-
pointment. But he ran right out
and told Mcbride "a few things"

EXPLAINS SWAY
Of GREAT ARENA
DURING BATTLE
Faulty Plank Alone Could Have
Caused Break, Says
Builder.

JERSEY CITY. N. J., July s.-The
swaying OF the night arena structure
at Jersey City during the Dempsey
Carpenter night was the subject of
explanation recently by Cornelius s.
and Joseph W. Edwards. The Ed
wards brothers who are brothers
of Governor Edwards, built the
arena
The arena structure Is absolute
safe" said Joseph W. Edwards.
''It was planned by engineers who
know all about strength OF ma
terials. 1t swayed because IT was
all held together We tested the
supports by putting on hve-ton
weights and observing the effect
with instruments. The arena is so
built that IL IL were possible to lift
Il II would hang all together. All
buildings will sway. There isn't
a chimney in the world that is well
built that won't sway. II II would
not sway II might fall 70 pieces.
The posts have eight-foot centers,
and are Sx1O inches. l0x10 inches
and 1ox12 inches. The only possible
chance OF any break Is in a faulty
plank The building satisfied Building

we were prepared for anything. 1t
was not that we feared trickery from
our opponents but you know there
was a lot OF betting and talk of a
ringside demonstration against Demp-
sey. A towel tossed into the ring
from our corner might have lost the
night Suppose such an occurrence
had distracted Dempsey's attention
for a moment and in that moment
Carpenter had nailed him with a
hard punch and put him down Can
you imagine the uproar?
The strangers had no business in
our corner and Trant merely exer-
cised a precauton when he put them
out"
Statements to the effect that no
one could get near the ring without
credentials are absurd. The writer
sat ten feet from Dempsey's corner
and for hours saw deadbeats hurled
out Of that section by the cops.
When the night started a squatter
occupied the end seat OF the second
row-right at the foot of the ring
steps. 1t was, in fact a very easy
matter. for anybody but persons who
belonged there to gain access TO press
seats that remained vacant up to the
last half hour before the night started.

TAKES Up TRAIL
Of CARPENTER
Bob Martin Joins Tom Gibbons

Nv JACK NEIOCk.

idol of the A. E. F., is the latest
American battler to take UP the
trail of Georges Carpenter.
With Tom Gibbons. Harry Greb
and Martin all eager to meet him.
II appears that Georges will have
plenty of opportunities to reap a
golden harvest in the ring on this
side OF the pond and IT seems GER
tain now that he will return to the
United States in the fall.
UP To RICHARD.
Promoter Tex Richard is said to
have a tentative understanding with
Francois Descamps for a bout be-
tween Carpenter and one OF three
or four American boxers named by
the two. The job of lining up
Georges next opponent will be left
in Richards hands.
Martin, who had been carried along
by easy stages under the manage
ment of Jimmy Bronson, expects to
strengthen his claims to recognition
as a contender for heavyweight
lsurels next Tuesday night when he
meets the veteran Pittsburgh battler,
Frank Moran.
MARTIN MEETS MORAN.
Moran and Martin are scheduled to
go fifteen rounds at the Boxing
prome, A A, and the club has Of
fered Carpenter $4,000 to meet the
winner.
In Moran the soldier champion
will meet one of the most rugged
opponents he could find anywhere in
the game today. The recent knock
out victory scored over Joe Beckett
by the Pittsburgher has made him
quite a card and a victory over him
will be a feather in Martins cap.
Martin is favored to win a decision
