Hopes are entertained that Dutch" Ruether. the cratic left handler obtained from Cincinnati last year for Rube Marquard will con- clude to be good an entire season, If Ruether concludes to behave him self. he is good enough to change the entire complexion of the National league race, for he is mighty hurler when in condition and can win any close game with his own slap stick.
 Mamaux In Comeback
 Considerable confidence is felt in the ability of Al Mamaux to pull comeback. Mamaux reported in good health and with a few pounds of added weight. and the team is hop ing that Al will be the hurler this year that he was 10 seasons ago. Sherrod Smith is practicing ths underhand delivery. and if he masters it his term of service is likely to be prolonged another year or so. Smiths knowledge of the art of pitching. his puzzling style of delivery and ter rife speed. made him tough propo- sition for many years.

DRESS "is of mans life a thing

istence." Yet, man approaches the
problem of new-season clothes
with far more squeamishness and
with many more pre-conceived
notions than any woman does.
When he gets an idea into his
head, even a surgical operation
couldn't take it out.
A case in point-there are no
end of men who believe that the
double-breasted suit is not becom-
ing to them; that it makes the
figure look stodgy and thickset;
that it is only a style for the tall
and slim. In truth, the double
breasted coat is just as appropri-

for the slender, if it be well-cut

BURNING ISSUE FOR BILLYUM

Says the Gainesville Sun: In his
address at the University of Florida,
Tuesday afternoon, William Jennings
Bryan paid his respects to Darwin
ism. Apropos Of this it seems to US
that this is rather late in the day for
public controversies over the theory
of evolution suggested by Darwin and
worked out by Huxley and Spencer.
Thirty or forty years ago it was re-
garded as a living issue. Laymen
| fought over it, and theologians main
tanned that religion and morality were
in the balance. Now the majority of
well-informed people either believe in
evolution-with moderate reserva-
tions-as they believe in gravitation,
or else they are quite Indifferent to
the matter.
Yet along this same line with Mr..
Bryan the Kentucky legislature seems
to regard the matter still as burn
ing issue At any rate, there has
| been a tremendous effort to bar the
! teaching of evolution from the state
university and the normal and public
schools of Kentucky by definite enact
ment Moreover, there are rumblings
of a similar effort in the supposedly
modern city of New York, to the deep
disgust of some of the metropolitan
/ newspapers.
It is strange, from almost any point
