Hinkie Haines
 Is Going Fast

Miller Huggins is spending a lot of time watching the work of .Hinkie Haines, ex-Penn star with Hartford last season. The Yankee skipper sems intent on making Haines a left handed stfcker. Haines appears to be in a fair way of being a regular. He's a corking fly chaser and prob ably the fastest man on the club. In yesterdays game HaineS hit a bounder to the New Orleans pitcher, who took his time fielding the ball, fumbled momentarily and looked up to dis cover Haines dusting merrily across first base. The Penn Slater evidently came honestly by his track team cap taincy in college.

 Mitchell says there is no question in his mind that the umpire after the winter vacation, needs the practice to get his vision adjusted once more to the task of calling balls and strikes. And Mitchell says that it is equally an for a big league batter to have the umpire along.

beautiful Easter Chicago has enjoyed
for years. The big retail stores are
almost as crowded as they We're last
week and shopkeeperA have not had
the time or need to advertise post
Easter sales. The surprisingly large
number of costumes seen in the
Easter parade despite the balmy day
led observers to the conclusion that
spring buying had just begun.
Fashion leaders turned out in new
long-Skirted suits with navy blue
predominating, but their headgear
gave them the necessary touch of
color. with lipstick red and the poppy
shades the favorites and black and
brown not far behind.
Furniture and housefurnishings
are being widely advertised as spring
moving day approaches. The ten
ants league has called the bluff of the
landlords who are trying to raise the
rents on apartments, leases to which
expire May l. The league is de-
handing reductions which landlords
are trying TO stave off until fall.
Building activity continues, al
though il is still retarded somewhat

ditions as outlined in the Lands ar
