Barons seem supremely capable OF
carrying on the fight for Birming-

gathered together by Dunn seems
capable of much, and fandom Is
watching them with interest.
A feature of the 1923 BarOns
is the fact that every man has
had two years or more in organ
lied baseball, and rockies have
been unable TO break into the
regular lineup. That experience
will tell as the Dixie flag chase
grows warm, and the pace be-
comes faster. Under fire, the
veterans are less likely to crack
than the rockies.

Walsh and Tom Taylor, the four reg

The pitchers, Phil Morrison, Earl
Whitehill Red Bates, Plateau Cox,

able service in baseball, and all have
had trials with the majors. All have
served two years or more in class A

by Joe Dunn, unless another in
fielder or two is added to the
squad shortly.
With an experienced bunch like
that-and the beauty of it all is that
Dunn's outfit isn't a bunch of old
men and cripples-the Barons ought
to win some ball games during the
fast approaching season.
Every one of EN- can hit the ball,
some of them can bust it out of the
park. The pitchers are all young
and promising, and with their expe-
rience behind them, ought to be the
worry of the entire league this year.
Robertson is considered one of the
most capable catchers in minor
league baseball and with his wise
head directing the young pitchers,
there should be something doing In
this department.
Joe Dunn has a mighty nice look

thing about winning a pennant. Joe

PARIS. Nov. 10.--Paris has always been the home of every kind of femi- nine beautifier.
 We have had the Poudre De Rig Violette, which made us look like so many pale, ethereal shadows that would pass away at the least unfa- vorable breeze. We have had the yellowish makeup with the blue purple lip salve that gave the Rue De La Paix the effect of being pec- pied by so many living corpses in a state of somewhat advanced decom- position Now glowing health Is the trump card, Beautiful sun-kissed complexions arc the order of the day.
 If the worst comes to the worst, to acquire just that touch of all- over sunburn that goes with the La Garoonne type of sports clothes that are the very last word in chic at the present moment With this healthful complexion one must have lovely ruby lips, so only lip salve that is ruddier than the cherry has any today.
 As the matter of cclor mas been fixed and standardized for the time being. the beauty specialists have been putting their heads together to devise something new in order to make madame buy more lip salve not counting the stick she purchases to take the place of the one that dropped out of her bag, or that she left on the table at Le Perroquet when she went out to dance.
 The latest type of lip salve Is all of one charming shade of red but it Is favored after madame's favorite fruit or that of her latest dancing partner.
 If Henri likes bananas she chooses lip salve a la banane. If Jacques has a passion for peaches she has 1t fla vored a la peche. There is every frait--raspberrY, strawberry, pine apple, cherry, grape.
 It Is all very simple for the good little girls; but for the fIirtatious damsel, who. lunches with enc ad- mirer on strawberries, teas with an- other with raspberries and dimes with third aux cerises, life becomes more complicated.
