self, not the one who patronizes the
most exclusive costumers or who
gets the biggest bills the first OF the
month.
The tall. slender woman requires
one style Of gown, the short, stout
one another. The same hat that
glorihes the narrow face caricatures
the broad one.
Learn Your Type
Since every woman wants 10 look
her best. she must learn her type.
Let us take up today the problem
of an evening gown for the tall
heavy type.
The two photographs show you
two gowns. both attractive IN them
selves. one correct for the model
who is wearing it. the other sadly
inappropriate.
The gown OF silver clre cloth al
the left, with its fashionable front
uldHtIg anu bdAiANAAt "a A-A4AtN'NN+t~-'
and fringe. is a very lovely gown
but not for the woman who is wear
ing it.
Its brllliance and unrelieved glitter
make her conspicuous and call at
tention 10 her stoutness. The I'M
relieved bodice reveals her exact size
and gives her a square, solid ap-
pearance. The shoulder line is most
unbecoming.
Charm I'm Simplicity.
But place on the same woman the
simple evening gown OF black crepe
and the effect is entirely different.
There is an actual illusion OF slen-
derness. as well as pleasing dignity.
The falling sleeves break the linz
of the waist and add note OF de |
ceptive artistry. They conceal the /
bulsing flesh about the arms. The
plain back and front give straight
silhouette. Draperies hide the width /
about the hips and make an attrac-
tive hem line.

ed design which adorns the back and |

SISLER IS HOLDER OF RECORD MARK. FIGURES SHOW

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-George Sis Ter, cf the St. Louis Americans, and not Ty Cobb, Is entitled to recogni- tion as holder of the highest batting average in the history of the Ameri- can league, examination today Of of fieial statistics revealed.
 The Detroit managers mark Of APO, made In 1911, has been accepted generally as the leagues high mark. while records for 1922 credited Sis Ter with an average of .419. Analysis of the two records, however, shows that Cobb's actual percentage in 1911 was .4l962, whereas Sislers mark for the past season, carried out the same number Of decimal places was .41979, thus giving the Browns first sacker margin of .00017.
 Giving Sisler's average the benefit of the fraction exceeding one half such as was done in Cobbs case, and as is generally customary in average compilations now, his record in round figures would be the same as that of his Detroit rival, .420
 C6bb's percentage is based upon figures carried in baseball guides of 1912, regarded as official. which give him 24S hits in 591 times at the bat Official American league averages for 1922 gave Sisler 246 hits in 5S6 times at bat.

CLUB HAS BILLED A GREAT CARD OF
 HOLIDAY EVENTS
"Baby" StribIing to Accom- pany Older Brother to the
 Magic City Next Week

Birmingham Athletic club officials are sparinG no expense to give fans the greatest athletic card they have ever had for the holiday week. In addition to the main go of 10 rounds, with Anthony Downey and Young Stribling featuring, arrangements have been completed by Tommy Tompkins, matchmaker of the club, to bring Baby Stribling here for t six-round semi -windup with Pete Sarron of the Boys club.
 Baby StriblinG Is the younger brother of the fast-growing, famous Young Stribling, and has already made quite a reputation for himself as q flyweight in Georgia and the southeast. Pete Sarron, although not having shown at the local club m some time, is well known. Petey will be remembered by the fans as 3 great little battler and the fans will welcome his return to the fold. se snrron Under Evans
 Dave Evans, who has had Sarron under his guidance ever since Ae first saw pair of gloves. has brought him along in fine style until now he is the best little fellow of .lhis weight around Birmingham. Sar- ron can box, is a two listed little .A AiBhttif eAid tiN1SS hlNc tho AahR plenty to talk about when he com petes.
 Sarron and Baby Stribling will go six rounds to decision and both will weigh in under 1o5 pounds ringside. They will battle for the 1o5-pound Championship of the south In anna stcur circles, with Tommy Tompkins sas the third man in the ring.
 Fans arc hungry to see Stribling sagain and will undoubtedly turn out cn masse to see him in action 3 against the sensational Downey. Stribling has fought here four times ' before: with Dewitt Alfred. whom he knocked out in two rounds: Fred die Boorde, with whom he boxed a { draw, and Battling Kelly and Sailor sBlanque, both of whom he beat In rather easy fashion.
 4 A Worthy Foe
 .s. Now comes Downey. one of the 4most talked of mittmen in the game s1today, and heralded as the next cham ,l.pion. Stribling will have to extend himself to tho limit and keep fight ing every minute with his head as well as his hands to obtain verdict. Stribiing has been boxing two years. having started when he was 16 years old. He will be s years of age next Tuesday, December 26, and in 1.-the past two years has had 5s bouts, s1n which he has scored Is knockouts, sSwon 30 dectsions, Q draws and has slost but two decisions. those to Dick Leonard and Battling Budd. Since closing to the above men he has knocked Leonard out in a return match and has beaten Budd twice, so he has practically erased those boys from the slate. Tickets are now on sale at the Birmingham Athletic club and can be reserved by phoning the secretary.

 Coach Erwin has just about re- modelled his basketball squad this season. and the team to start tonight will in no way resemble that of 1921-22. Only one new face will be in the lineup. that is, the other four have played in previous games for the club. However, tonight's eombi- nation is entirely different from any that has started varsity games at the B. A. C. before.
 At The Forwards
 At the forwards, Coach Erwin has pair ot veteran ciubbers, both of whom handle the ball we'll and can shoot with unerring accuracy. Hun gry" Floyd, of the 1920-2l squad. will be at ono forward. while Norman Mandy, star guard of last year, will be at the other. Mandy is unusually good on long shots, while Floyd is demon under the baskets.
 At center will be former Central High school star, and at present a football and basketball varsity man at Howard college. Toby Stubbs will hold down the pivot post to start to- nights game, and local fans will see veteran cagester in this role.
