Prints and Mohairs in
Fall Fashion Picture

Hand blocked mohair' print resem-

was arranged In different ways In
sports dress Of the jumper type. This
was done, writes fashion critic In
the New York Times, by making q
coat blouse, hip length, Of the printed
mohair, using the border as band
around the bottom and for collar and
cuffs, to be worn with a skirt Of plain
white mohair reps, plated In clusters
or In an all-around kilt. Crepe mo-
hair, rough bouclette weave Of mohair
and pure silk thread and the reps In
plain colors heavily embroidered after
the manner Of Rhodesian, Bulgarian
and Hungarian needlework are some
Of the variants Of this new material.
The most striking Of all the models
Of mohair coats Is one Of the white
basket weave having collar, cravat
vest and collar Of black glace kid with
a narrow band of scarlet.
In q recent exhibition given under
happy auspices the various kinds OF
mohair were shown In number Of
delightful models The plaid honey
comb weaves were used for autumn,

latest designs. One Of these was In
all-white plaid honeycomb and basket
weaves, cut straight and faultlessly
tailored. Each intersection of the pat
tern was picked out with silver but

two rows Of monkey fur that formed
the collar.
Another autumn coat In white mo-
hair reps had an all-over pattern IN
floral and scroll design done with a
line Of fine tucking. One more, In
plain white, was tucked in cross-sec-
tons of fine hand tucks to form large
squares. Nothing as interesting has

F frisco TURNS
OUT TENNIS
PLAYERS
Produces More Champions
Than Any Other
City in U. S.


NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-Lacking
anything that savors of authentic data
to the contrary, San Francisco has
produced a far greater total of ranking
tennis players during the last - years
than any other American city can mus
ter. The reason should be obvious,
and, if you don't know the answer,
the dear old chamber of commerce at
San Francisco will supply the infor-
nation. pronto and gratis. via Form
Letter No. 1. This deals largely with
sunshine, song birds and shade trees.
That being the case, why do most of
the stars come from northern Cali
fornia: Why not from around the
Los Angeles district, where the air
is more balmy and the sun is supposed
10 be SUMMER?
Los Angeles has turned out good
tennis players. But do they compare
with Maurice Mclaughlin or Billy
Johnston? Yes, they do not.
This pair ranks with the greatest
that lawn tennis has known in all the
years of its existence. Yet they are
merely the best of very good lot hail
ing from San Francisco. Just after
Mclaughlin stepped out and Billy
Johnston in. the world of tennis found
itself with a new sensation in the per-
son of Lindley Murray, a left-hander
with a dashing style. He didn't last
long, but he took one honor to his
competitive grave: next to Johnston.
Murray was the last man to beat Bill
Tilden in national championship.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-31

He came from San Francisco.
So, also, did Tom Bundy, who was
McLaughlin's old partner, and Clar-
ence Peck Griffin, who still teams
with Johnston in doubles on occasions.
Other notables on the list are the
Kinsey brothers. Howard and Robert /;
Cranston Holman, the best Of the
young stars; Ray Casey, Gerald
Stratford and Harvey Snodgrass.
Los Angeles can lay claim to May
Sutton Bundy, the Test Of the women
players Of another decade, but San
Francisco can reply with Helen Wills,
the present champion and probably
Mrs. Bundy's superior the best day the
latter ever knew. Helen Jacobs, the
girls champion. seems to be following
in Miss Wills footsteps. In year or
50 she ought to be up with the head
liners. When this happens, San Fran
cisco will have another name to add to
the roll of honor.

ONE MORE GOOD
HURLER WOULD
MAKE BUGS

PITTSBURGH. Pa, Jan. 30.-The
question arises IS TO whether the
world champion Pirates pitching
staff is strong enough to carry them
through to another pennant. The
fans have a great deal of faith in
the Corsair slab stars, but seem TO
feel that another experienced twirler
is needed.
But just where is Manager Nc
Kechnie to get this pitcher: The
other National League clubs are
naturally aiming at Pittsburgh now
and it is out Of the question TO
think that they will give up a star
pitcher TO them at a reasonable
price.
If you consider a high figure,
Wright, Traynor, Cuyler, Grantham
or Barnhart would most likely be
demanded in the deal and they are
too valuable material to use for ex-
perimental purposes.
But the Pittsburgh club certainly
has no reason TO be ashamed Of its
present twirling staff. Meadows can
hold his own with the best that
throw. specs or no specs. Kremer
should do even better this year than
last. Although Morrison had an off
year last season, fans who are IA
miliar with his previous record are
confident that he is due for a come
back.
Aldridge needs no vindication. He
will be better acclimated this year and
will be counted on as one Of the
pitching mainstays.

MOTHERS TRAINING.

1t IL true that the Georgian gained
his first training at his mothers knee
not forgetting that training he re-
ceiyed across il either. The Stribling
father has always followed after the
spotlight. They date back to the cir
cus days. when, as a troupe. they did
their daily turn for an exacting fly
by-night- circus manager. The father
dreamed of his boys future-a great
American habit and privilege-and he
pictured him with a glove held aloft
in a referees hand. an applauding au-
dience and vanquished opponent near
by. In spare moments the boy was
taught. He was found quick TO learn,
pluck5 in spirit. with an ability 90 alb
sOrb punches as well as knowledge TO
land them.
Suibling's professional days began
in Atlanta when he administered. in
one round, twilight sleep TO Tim
O'Dowd. who afterwards became south
ern featherweight champion. 1t was 4
preliminary, and the fans-those who
happened 10 be looking on. gave a per-
functory applause. But it gained him
future engagements Consistently he
won, invariably by the knockout
route.
Ii is significant that the only bout
he lost in his first professional year
took place in Savannah. He dropped
a decision 10 Dick Leonard, local ia
vorite. 1t was in Savannah that PA"
Stribling felt the sting of the fans
outlaws which he provoked by his sin
cere and altogether innocent remark
that he expected his boy to become
champion some day.

WHERE MAIN
WORD IN GRID
PUBLICITY
Not What You Are But
Where You Are Gets
You Fame.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Fame in
football is not so much a matter of
what you are as it is where you are.
This is not a discovery and there is
nothing new in the idea. The line
has been quoted many times before
and the thought remains alive be-
cause there are so many examples
always popping up to prove it.
Red Grange became a national idol
and the most. advertised player OF
all time not only because he was a
great player but because he had the
opportunity to show himself. If he
had played with Siwash instead of
Illinois he might have been forced to
go back to the ice business instead
of falling into small fortune.
Even as member of major team
like Illinois. Grange might not have
capitalized his reputation as he did
if he had never appeared in the East.
Reds reputation had spread east
ward from the Western Conference
fields, but there is disposition
among Fasteners to tilt the nose at
news from other sections.
MADE GOOD AT PENN.
Grange played his greatest game
against Michigan in 1924 when he
scored four touchdowns in the first
twelve minutes of the game and ran
four times for distances varying be-
tween Go and 95 yards. But were
there flocks of offers for the use Of
his name and person: There were
not!
Illinois last winter scheduled a
game with Pennsylvania and the
skeptics said, "Now we'll see what
he can do against a real team"
Pennsylvania had a real team, one
that looked like prospective East.
ern champion, and the test was all
that could have been asked of
Grange. He lived up to his reputa-
ton on a soft field that was all
against him. He did not distinguish
himself as he had in the Michigan
game in 1924, but he sold himself
to the East and he got so much
publicity that there was a STAN
pede of promoters to lure him away
from the campus with offers that
must have staggered him with their
size.
There were the -Four Horsemen
of Notre Dame" who joined the i'm
mortals in 1924. They toured the
big fields of the country and showed
themselves. Had their activities been
restricted to the turf at South Bend
or the small-time college fields, they
would just have been four good backs,
Smhldreher, Layden, Crowley and
Miller.
There were two good cases that
proved the point. Century Milstead,
great Yale tackle, made the All-Amer-
lean team and Lyle Richeson, one of
Yale's greatest quarterbacks, gained
national fame.
Yet. Milstead had played before at
Wabash and Richeson had played with
Tulane. They must have been JUST as
good before they came to Yale be-
cause no coach can make a player
in such short time, but they weren't
in the right place to be noticed.
