ME subject Of knickerbockers

IN HE subject Of knickerbockers
for girls to wear hiking and
when engaged In outdoor
sports where skirts have
always proved a distinct hindrance is
still matter Of more or less discussion
and one of the principal arguments
raised against this form of apparel has
been that it lessened the feminine charm
of the wearer. This argument is par.
ticularly a favorite with those who
claim to prefer the poetic picture Of the
sweet young thing in rufdes and curls
like wood shavings. seated on mossy
bank. content to let her brothers enjoy
the thrill that comes once in a lifetime
when you are getting soaking wet in
the good cause Of fishing in a delightful
stream.
These poetic souls probably have not
realized that the king Of English dra-
matte poets. Shakespeare. had as one
of his favorite expedients the clothing
of some of his female characters in
male attire.
There was Portia, who wore the garb
of lawyer; there was Imogen. and

lind, whose cases more nearly parallel
those OF the modern girl than the two
previously mentioned.
Viola was undoubtedly witty and full
of common sense, as depicted by Shake
speare, and she initiated the saucy boy
most successfully. Viola was very
shrewd. but she was also very womanly.
as shown In many Of her speeches. She
is very affectionate. determined. modest
and witty. In these traits and their
well balanced combination she may well
be considered as the ideal Of the Eirl
Of today. She was also q very good
sport. When she had to face q duel
which she had no idea whatsoever how
to fight she quaked inwardly, but man
aged to maintain her outer poise in
way that was distinctly admirable.
Rosalind, the maid who lo>ed the
woods In las You Like It." is q verit-
able Pan. Her wit is keener than
viola's, but it has that whimsical sub
tIety that is much more feminine In its
conception than the rather boisterous
humor Of Viola. Rosalind with her
many charms might well have been the
pattern aimed at by the modern fiapper.
for her Zines are wonderfully clever.
she is gracefully active and on the alert
every moment, and she Is filled with the
restless spirit of adventure.
Altogether. we fnd that Mr.. Shake
speare knew human nature pretty
thoroughly and he evidently understood
the happer Of three centuries hence
much more completely than many Of
her present contemporaries.

A N exasperated reporter and q
~ more than vexed young woman

village police court. And
sitting stolidly between them, seeming

over and over she repeated her ulti-

thin emaciated little thing who was
not in the least attractive and whose
colorless. immature features seemed de-
void of all expression save sort Of
sodden boredom.

you? This girl was a party to last

--Bowser the Hound.
Bowser the Hound was uneasy
Somehow he didn't feel like sleeping.
He had feeling that something was
wrong. Just what it was he didn't
know. 1t was just a feeling. that was
all. Perhaps it was because he
couldn't understand why his master
had ordered him to keep away from
the young Fox who was a prisoner in
that box just little way off.
Finally Bowser decided he would
have a look around. By this time
sweet Mistress Moon had begun to
shed her soft light over everything.
AS Bowser came out of his house he
looked over to the box where the
young Fox was a prisoner. Out just
in front Of that box was dark mass,
which at first Bowser thought was a
Black Shadow. He took a few steps
toward 1t and it moved and divided.
One part disappeared through the
doorway of that box and the other
lightly bounded away.
Bowser knew at once that one OF
these seeming shadows was the young
leave alone. But what was the other
one? Something was going on he
must find out about. He walked
over to where that dark mass had
been and in an instant his nose told
him that that shadow which had
bounded away was no shadow al all.
but Mrs. Reddy.
For a moment or two Bowser hesi-
tated. His master had ordered him to
leave that young Fox alone. but he
had said nothing about any other Fox.
Would it be right for him to chase
Mrs. Reddy? Bowser decided that it
would. He opened his mouth and
sent his great voice rolling across the
Green Meadows clear over to the Old
Pasture. Then with his nose to the
ground he started after Mrs. Reddy.
But this chase proved to be differ
ent from any chase Bowser could re-
member. Instead of leading him far
away before trying to get rid Of him
Mrs. Reddy led him only a short dis
tance before she mixed her trail SO
that even his wonderful nose could
not straighten it out. He spent some
time trying. but at last made up his
mind 1t couldn't be done and trotted
back home.

young Fox was a prisoner he again

DAVIS TENNIS
 CUP CONTEST
 WORLD EVENT

Like many great institutions the Davis Cup series which was brought to a conclusion at Forest Hills, L. l., September 1, ?, and 4, started in a comparatively small way. In 1900 Dwight F. Davis, donor of the trophy, conceived the idea of inter- national team matches in tennis be- tween America and England, the cup to be placed in competition an- nually.
 It ceased, however, to be a two- team affair in 1904, when Australia Belgium and France nominated teams, and it has grown with each passing year until today more than a dozen countries are entering the field an- nually.
 1900. Dwight Davis, Malsolm D. Whitman and Holcome Ward turning back the British, composed of A. w. Gore, E. D. Black and H. Roper Barrett, three matches to none. In 1903 R. F. and H. l.. Doherty took the cup to England, where it re- mained four years. Then, in 1907 the great Australian team of Nor man Brookes and the late Anthony Wilding gained possession of the trophy by beating the British in the challenge round 3 to 2, and there it reposed until 1872, when the British team of J. c. Parke, c. P, Diyon and A. E. Reamish carried it back to England.
 The following year saw the Am erican team of Maurice Mclaughlin R. Norris Williams, 3d. H. H. Hack cit and Wallace Pohnston come into it's own after years of fruitless en- deavor, defeating the British in the challenge round 8 to 2. But the cup remained just one year, for in 1914 Brookes and Wilding again fell heir to the much-traveled piece of silver after a series of memorable matches and the war intervening. It re mained in the Antipodes without competition until 1919, when Will jam T. Tilden and William M. John ston returned it to it's original home without the loss of a match. Thanks to them it is still here

LONDON, Sept. 14-"Well played, sir!"
 "Jolly well bowled, sir!" Ripping, perfectly ripping!" | These mild expressions, accom- panied by a very dainty hand-clap- ing, are the only obstacles there are to fine afternoon dose in the
 sun at Lords.
 Now Lords is one of London's 1 famous cricket grounds. Twenty
 thousand Londoners jam Lords
 nearly every day to sleep sip tea
 and incidentally watch the cricket
 match.
 English sportsmen are entirely
 satisfied with the happenings of
 Lords, but the restless Amerocans
 can't get much of a thrill out of this
 cricket game and so they have bold
 ly and courageously made an at
 tempt to introduce baseball into
 London.
 First of all the American baseball players shocked London by staging
 their games on Sunday, and Sunday
 games are looked down upon in London. The Americans have per sisted, however, and every Sunday afternoon finds a mob of Americans 1 thrilling at their national game and handful of Engishmen staring in
 amazement at the absolutely absurd antics of these wild Americans" At frs the London press paid no
 attention to the American baseball games, because the sporting writers | were always busy on Sunday after
 noon figuring out the cricket scores of Saturday. Finally the baseball
 players at Stamford Bridge made so much noise that the editors just had to pay attention. One paper after another began running a weird
 account of the Sunday game in the
 Monday morning papers. American
 Nine Bowled Out in Sixteen Innings" says one headline. "Gentleman UmS
 pire Suffers Indignities," comments another. "American Eastman Makes
 Circular Run," another informs it's readers. Crowds Cheer Excellent Bowler" is just another Eventually the star writers, the feature writers and even the politi- cal writers began taking notice of
 baseball and now they even have the
 society writers contributing weird items about the American pastime. "Gadfly," who writes knowingly,
 on politics for the Daily Herald, is the latest victim. He has seen 8

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
 WILL BRING MANY
 SCIENTISTS TOPACIFIC

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-The fact that you do not live on the east coast of Africa, Australia or on islands in the Southern Pacific ocean relieves you of the unpleasantness of dark day on September 21
 On that date, according to Prof Ed win B. Frost of the University of Chi cago and director of the Yerkes Ob- servatory, a total solar eclipse will occur over that region.
 The moon coming between the earth and the sun, will cast a shadow which will sweep over the southern sea from a point off the eastern coast of Africa near the Equator, cross a few scattered islands and the con- tinent of Australia and then out to the Southern Pacific ocean, he said.
 This trail of the shadow will be about 115 miles wide. The duration of totality at different points will vary from three to six minutes and Pro- lessor Frost declared this to be an un- usually long eclipse.
 Expeditions from various astro- nomical institutions will be estab- lished at favorable points to study the eclipse. John Evershed, director of the observatory at Kodiakanal, India, h; he from Maldive Islands. Astronomers rom the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England. have established a station on Christmas Island. A party from Batavia, Dutch Indies, also will be located at Christmas Island and will be joined by Dr. Freundlich from the Ejnstein laboratory at the Potsdam Observatory. Prof. w. w. Campbell with a party from the Lick Observa- tory will be stationed at Wallal, Aus tralia. Professor Chant of the Univer- sitv Observatory at Toronto will be with this group.
 "The total eclipse of the sun always has been one of natures most thrilling spectacles," said Professor Frost. Ut gives a momentary glimpse of the mys- terious veil surrounding the sun, called the corona, which is never visible at any other time Gigantic rosy erup- 1 tions of flowing gas also may be seen along the rim of the eclipsed sum- On September 10, 1923, he said a total solar eclipse will touch the coast of the United States at Santa Barbara and near San Diego, California. The islands off the Pacific coast, notably After the one of 1923, the next total solar eclipse that can be observed under favorable conditions in the Unit ed States will be on August 2l, 2ol'' Santa Catalina, will be well situated for stations. The track of the shadow
 will sweep southeast across Mexico Preparations for observing this ecllpse already have been started by several American observatories.

game of baseball and knows all about it and tells his readers about it as follows:
 Having spent quiet Sunday afternoon at Stanford Bridge amid crowd of gum grinding, but other wise well-conducted American citi- zens, l am in a position to inform all whom it may concern and divers others that the game of baseball, unlike knurr and spell, coddam, spill ikins, and beaver, is played by the spectators. This simplifies matters greatly.
 "A citizen known as a pitcher and wearing an Out-size in gloves, hurls balls with marked ferocity at another citizen, known as the batter whose life invariably is sav ed by yet another citizen, masked and padded like an Assyrian bull fighter and denominated a catcher.
 Also there is an umpire who makes gutteral noises at intervals. And there are the also rans,' un- couth-looking individuals who stand about the field and hope for the best.
 Sometimes the batter, who is armed with sort of over-fed trun- cheon, takes an unexpected swipe at the ball and knocks it into the adjoining borough, or, alternatively onto the roof of the 'homeplate' pa- viliOn, on which it descends with un- seemly violence. More often he lets the catcher absorb it.
 All these things I learned when visited the American University Club versus London Canadians match in company with the talented Mattin- son with a view to studying the American in captivity"
