The players outfit should consist
of:
A bright-colored wool shirt.
A pair of short, woolen pants.
A pair of basket ball shoes with
soles heavy enough to protect the
feet from blisters.
Two pairs of sanitary cotton
socks, to be worn together in order
to bring the friction between the
two socks instead of between the
sock and the foot.
One pair of footless wooden ath-
letic stockings to be worn over the
sanitary stockings.
One "warm-up" two-piece pajama
outfit to protect the player from
cold halls when he is not in action.
A hood attachment to his pajama
shirt is splendid as it keeps the back
of the neck warm, which is essential
to good condition, as the back of the
neck controls the nerve supply to
the arms.

FIRPO- O-SPALLA FIGHT
LISTED FEBRUARY 24

! BUENOS AIRES, January Sport
ing circles believe that much of the
mystery which has thus far enveloped
the Spalla-Firpo negotiations may be
due to the apparent competition be-
tween New York and Buenos Aires
promoters to match Spalla.
Firpo announced that the bout
would be held in this city on Feb
ruary "a and would be scheduled to
go fifteen rounds, with Firpo receiv-
ing 40 per cent of the gate and Spalla
; a guarantee.
1t is reliably reported here that
Spalla is expected to sail from Mar
seille on the next boat. 1t is believed
| that the Italian boxer has been wait
+, ing until he received a cable that
| Firpo actually had signed the con-
tract for the fight, which Firpo says
he has done.
Spalla Is Training.
MILAN. Italy, January 3.-Erminio
Spalla. European heavyweight cham
pfon, is training in Marseille, France,
while awaiting a definite date for his
! match with Luis Angel Firpo in
Buenos Aires.
A dispatch from Buenos Aires last
night said that the po-Spalla fight
! would be held on the foot ball field of
that city on February "a.
Spalla's brother, Giuseppe, says that,
after the bout with Firpo, Erminio
will most probably go to New York,
| where negotiations are proceeding
for matches with Gene Tunney,
American light heavyweight cham
pion, and Tom Gibbons.
-Spalla has signed to meet Georges
Carpenter in Milan next June and
in May will again box the Dutch
heavyweight Vanderveer, from whom
he won the title. This bout will take
place in Rome.
1t is expected that Spalla will sail
for Buenos Aires about January 10.

Pitchers That
 Pouf.

A MONO the beautiful pitchers "A that are displayed in the 4 A shops, one is tempted to select few for their attractive ness rather than for utilitarian value. Of course, the two requis- ties can be combined if one is care ful to note whether the beautiful pitcher really pours without spill ing its liquid. Every woman has had this experience, so few hints on pitcher selecting which come from a first-class silversmith will probably be appreciated.
 The water pitcher should have full, round bottom, whether it is of earthenware or metal. The shape should taper toward the top so that a narrow band is formed before the liquid actually reaches the lip. Look for a narrow groove in the lip of the pitcher if you would have the liquid pour In a thin stream. This groove should appear on all pitchers, especially in the small creamer.
 Very often silver pitcher will show a smooth, wide flat lip which is not good feature for successful pouring. If yeur pitcher has every other feature you desire and lacks this groove, your silversmith can have the lip grooved for you.
 A breakfast creamer can be had in any number of styles, and very new pattern is the cup which shows a lip like the tiIl of a bird. This sort of creamer comes in col orful pottery, in plain or lowered pattern.
 Avoid the pitcher with narrow base and full body, as this type is easily upset and the flow of liquid is too great to be taken care of at the lip without spilling.

Cold Shower Baths
COLD shower is refreshinl

A COLD shower is refreshing A during the tepid days of mid, summer, but one should not com init the error of remaining under the shower too long. Fifteen min. utes for the shower bath is con sidered the allotted time by physi- clans.
 The most refreshing effects can be obtained by taking a 'lukewarm shower followed by a cold spray. The shower should be allowed to run for a few moments and the body placed in such position that the water needles splash on the spinal column. Stimulating the spinal column is a certain way of stimulating all the nerves of the body. Cover the skin with a creamy lather of soap and allow it to remain for a few moments. Then rinse off the soap beneath the warm shower. This should be followed immediately by a cold spray and the body rubbed briskly with a coarse Turkish towel.

EAH MnO. W1LOONs
 I wonder if you can help
 me on a personal problem, although I believe 1t Is a little different from your usual inquiries. Recently I met a man who at- tracted me and he asked to call. I saw him once and he said he would telephone me some day again. Over two weeks have gone by and I have not heard from him. Shall I call, him on the telephone. as I am very anxious to see him again. MARGARET.
 I understand quite perfectly how you feel, my dear. Yours is 8 struggle between a love of this mans companionship and your own pride. Rather than telephone him why not arrange to meet him as if by accident? You might plan to be at some affair he is likely to attend and greet him as cor dially as if you had not felt his slight. Circumstances will offer an opportunity to meet him somehow, somewhere. You can arrange this yourself, am sure. When you see him ask him to call again and his attitude will prove whether you care to continue his acquaintance. DEAR MRS, WILSON:
 VIII you kindly tell me an un- usual way to serve carrots? My family are very fond of this vege- table, but I have served them only boiled with butter or cream sauce.
 MRS. B. c. D.
 Baked carrots are delicious. Scrape the carrots as in preparing them for boiling and set them on a buttered baking pan. Bake a half hour until tender when pierced with a sharp fork. Toward the end of the baking sprinkle the car rots with sugar and butter and al- low the sugar to melt and brown. A little cinnamon adds delicious flavor. The cinnamon should be mixed with the. sugar.

A LCoVES were built in varl- "A ous places about the house
 when they were in style 8 generation ago. But with the mod ern tendency toward smooth walls and square rooms the alcove often became problem in decoration.
 A wall indentation which some times appears at the turn of a stairway was originally built in Colonial houses as a resting-place for the candle or lamp. Since the advent of electric light the stair way alcove can be utilized to add cheerful touch of verdure to what may otherwise be dark, drab hall. The alcova in this in- stance should be painted the same color as the remaining wall. Dec crate your flower pot or basket if you must have color, but do, not select color which will detract from the verdure of the growing plant.

proven it to numerous friends to their satisfaction.
 Back in the days when l had long hair my head suffered cruelty from the heat in Summer. Precipitation gathered under the knot at tke back my head and stayed there. At night when took my hair down it would be soaking wet. And,t then came the Summer when bobbed 1t. One day I was especially hot and when dressing for the after noon,. I decided to wash my hair despite the fact that 1t mad been shampooed a few days Lefore. My mother raised her hands in horTo.. I'd ruin nay hair washing 1t so often! But [ was so hot anI un' comfortable that I didn't care, for the moment, whether my hair was ruined or notl And so l washed it. A bath had failed to refresh me but the effect of the tepid water on my head was almost miraculous in It's clean, cool comfort.
 Then began a daily shampoo which caused most of my friends to think was absolutely mad. Strange to say nothing happened. My hair remained just as thick and colorful as ever. It lost none of its..sheen or life quality until about the sec 0nd month when I noticed it was a little drier than usual. This dry. ness was soon cogpteracted. very successfully, by an olive oil scalp massage twice week.
 Friends of mine who had watched with fear and trembling my viola tion of the old superstition that one must not wash the hair more often than once in three weeks, became Interested. Since then a number of them have adopted my plan. Others not so radical, have confined their shampooing to once in every four, five or six days.
 Instead of using pure soap shampoo I use the egg shampoo, which has been very highly ap- proved by beauty salons for some years. It is the most expensive shampoo. they give, usually cost ing from one dollar up more than a soap shampoo. Beat the whites

 Another important item in the care of the hair in Summer is let ting 1t. hang down for an hour. OF so each day so that it has an ops partuntty to be thoroughly dried. It Is the dampness, caused from precipitation that causes the hair to sour.
 When swimming it is advisable to wear, ehamois skin cloth around the head, making an extra fold low on the forehead, under the bathing cap. This will keep the hair dry, the extra fold catching any water that may slip under the rubber cap.
