 Major league managers are do- cidclly up in the air over the south paw hystoria that is now running rampant in the big show.
 Last season a majority of thc southpaws. many of them veterans who had passed the peak of their game, enjoyed big year.

COMMUNICATED

The following sef-explanatory communication is pertinent at this time.
 Many admirers Of the well known City league baseball are wondering what the Public Amusement Com mission will do this summer.
 Many believe an eight-cluo league would be very interesting. while others feel that a ward Ioaguo-one team from each ward would bring along six fighting teams, But I do not feel that way. The men, who conducted the old Ward league are widely scattered now and tho city is so much bigger.
 Tn my opinion what wonld please most of the fans, would be league composed of six organized teams, There are the Pirates, Falcons, Cor bin Red SoX, Pioneers and Rangers and I feel certain another team could be secured 10 round out the league.
 "1n such 1oaEu" the fans would know the Calibor of the clubs and accordingly there would be grea, interest, so that at Inc end Of the season, the final games would bring out the oldtin1e pep and oldtime crowds ready to roar their lungs for their fayOrites. I feel certain such q league would be well patronized and in case of any disagreement among fandom as to the winner be- ing the best team, q post season series could settle that.
 For the past few years inc fans have not been so hot over the city cha mpionship series, because some managers lose sight of the fact that . if they play out of town all season, their players arc not so well known and consequently do not draw the fans interest as well as the lads l who show their stuff on the home lots during the season.

 TO BOWL SPECIAL MATCH
Newly Crowned state Champion and Brooklyn, \. ', Man to Roll
 Here on June 1

On Thursday, June 4th, bowling to one of the best matches ever ar ranged in this section when the first half of a home and home game series will be rolled at the Casino alleys between Eedie Anderson, newly crowned champion of tho Connecticut state bowling league and Barney splnella Of Brooklyn. N. Y. The match will be for purse Of $500 and total pinfal will count
 Spinclla needs no introduction to the fans of this vicinity because he is known as the champion duck pin bowler of the country. Besides this, in the big pin game, he has rolled ] s perfect scores of 300.
 Last year, it will be remembered, Anderson and Fisher Of Hartford paired up and bowled the SpneIla brothers and in the match, each side broke even, leaving the supremacy undecided. Since that time. this match between the Connecticut champ and the champion of the country has been hanging fire and the Casino alleys are fortunte in securing the match for New Britain.
 Eddie Anderson. by his whirl- wind finish in the state bowling league, has been bowling at the top of his form and if he keeps up the good work he will make Spinclla travel at top speed 10 re- tain his laurcls. Any way the match is taken, it will be the best ever staged in jhis city and will be a treat Of treats for the bowling fans of this vicinity.

FRANCE AMAZED AT
 ITALIAN TERMS
Now Hopes to Get Better Debt
 Agreement in J. s.

Paris, Nov. l5 lP) Hopes that France may get far better terms than the American debt funding commission was willing to give NJ. Caillaux have been raised by the Italian debt settlement. The terms are regarded In official French cir cles as sharply contrasting with the demands made upon France. These circles assume that the American commission has modified the rigidity of it's attitude since the collapse of the French negotiations six weeks ago. and the failure at that time. they believe. may be one of the reasons for the easy terms granted Italy.
 The Painleve government intend ed to reopen the debt discussions with the United States before con- gress convened, but the ministers have been obliged to defer the matter because of the domestic problems, including the uncertain ty of the majority in parliament for the governments financial measures.
 It looks now as If nothing can be done before next year. and that whatever is done then will depend upon the outcome of the financial crisis.

but the back Is absolutely straight and plain.
 The scarf arrangement about the neck adds that touch of charm and softness that the mode demands, and permits the wearer infinite variety in arrangement. Likewise 1t covers the upper part of the arm very slightly and makes a more hattering shoulder line than the conventional sleeveless model.
 However, speaking of scarf6, the most lovely one that has come from Paris is the one in the center. It is of white crepe fringed with long write fringe at either edge and wound about the neck so that the delicate roses of shell-pink feathers come at either side and frame the face most alluringly. This Is worn with an all-whlte gown the skirt of which is in two tiers of fringe, while the blouse is absolutely plain. Fringe is becom- ing exceedingly popular as a trim, ming. For the all-back or all. white gown the long silk variety ir self color Is very attractive. Colo or silver fringe. in short lengths i' very much liked on white or color ed dancing dresses.

New York. Nov. is AS the winter mode becomes abolished and the Paris models have been tried out and adapted for the American woman. one feature stands out above all else the inn portance of being feminine.
 Gone are the hard, straight lines that suggested the boyish figure, Gone are the narrow hemltnes that made ugly lnies when walking Gone is the too-tight sleeve, and the too-narrow shoulder.
 Apparently fashion has eascd all along the line. She realizes the im- portance of absolute freedom and comfort If one is to acquire grace and harmonious movements.
 In coats particularly. the silhou- cite is quite changed from last year. To be smart, coat must be short and 1t must have plenty of room at the hemline. Tho most popular type of coat has godets or circular inserts but retains the mar row hipline. @%t
 The black velvet and ermine model photographed Illustrates the line that Is most desired. It also shows how black velvet and er- mine, always regal. but not al- ways a youthful combination can be made very appropriate for a debutante.
 This has slight flare at the front and introduces an entirely new sieeve. which may be a fore runner Of the revival of the old huff. The lower part of the sleeve is made of ermine from the elbow to wrist and is shaped like an tn- yerted bell.
 This same type of coat in bKo- cade or metal cloth Is extremely popular for evening.
