Eyes of All Fandom Centers
on New York as Giants
and Yanks Prepare for
Test


NEW YORK. Oct 9-The respective
prospects Of the G ants and the Yankees
in thedr third worlds series are being
discussed by the usual vanguard of play
ers, writer's and fans. who come from
the baseball corners Of the earth.
Everyone has a different opinion re-
garding the why's and wherefores Of the
weakness and the strong points Of the
teams. but the general idea seems to be
that as in the previous two series. all
the dope will be turned upside down.
The Yankees, rs in 1927 and in 1922.
have far the strongest pitching staff on
paper. The five regular hurlers on the
Huggins staff. Jones. Pennock, Bush,
Hoyt and Shawkey, have worked in
twice as many complete games as Scott.

Graw's pitchers were the best IN the
series.
II is believed by many that Ruth, the
axis about which the Yankee machine
revolyes, will lead his teammates to
their first world title. In 1921 and 1922
Ruth was a stunning disappointment in
the series. Without his battering ram
the Yankees could not go on. This year.
however, Ruth is fresh from the great
est season Of his career, a season IN
which he wa5 the most valuable player
Of all those in the league.
The followers Cf the American
league champions have been anxious
about Walter Pipp. the first sacker'
who injured his angle in a game in Bos-
ton several weeks ago. Pipp, however,
ioired his teammates in practice today
and while he betrayed slight limp, was
able TO get about speedily and with his
accustomed ability. Huggins watched
him work, but would not say whether
he would start him in the first game
Wednesday.

Many Uses for Ribbon

The number of bags and card cases
and purses that can be made of rib
bon are as myriad as the number of
pieces of ribbon in ones silk scrap

scrap of ribbon what kind Of crea-
ton can be made The cleyer-fingered
woman can have an almost limitless
number of cunning card cases. purses,
etc, with little work, if she will utilize
the bits of ribbon she has. The deco
rations and trimmings can be of rib
bon bits, the smallest bit of ribbon
sufficing for tiny French flower.
Beads combined with the ribbon allow
for attractive decorative schemes.

IN French GOWNS
Skirts Wider, but Not SO Long
as Last Season; Every Pc
Rod Is Represented.

Paris fashions have bloomed this
spring with more than their usual
brightness and beauty, observes a
fashion writer in the New York Times.
Although there is no great change
IN the silhouette as it appears to the
casual eye, there has been an unusual
change in the way in which that sill
houette is achieved. Whereas formerly
the straight lines were really cut
straight, now they are made up Of COM
binations of plaits and circular cuts
and of trimmings and godets and in
serts that are astonishing once they
have been revealed. There seems a
tendency to slip into a more formal
era, doing the trick gently without too
much publicity about its introduction.
AT any rate, the skirts are decidedly
wider than they have been and not so
long it would seem. This time last
year they were going down, down,
down, to the CONSERVATION of the wom-
en- of America, despite the way they
might have been accepted in France,
and now they are creeping upward
again, though not with any great
speed. They come in different lengths
from different designers, but none of
them is so long as to be startling.
Sleeves are growing less and less
spectacular because, as the skirts adj
vance in ornamentation, sleeves neces-
sarily must -recede from the center of

coats are full and ample in all of their
lines and proportions and are trimmed
with flounces and inserts. of the plaits
and panels, SO that they become volu-

to be dress for every, period From

element of beauty and richness that
1t is worth while to think about.
1t takes an artist to use ribbon
lavishly without giving us too much
of a good thing. When ribbon is not

1t has been managed with skill in
