Wigs Popular in
Fashion World
BY HEDDA HOYT
UNITED Press Fashion Editor

New York, June 25.-If your
lady fair is blonde today, a brun-
cite tomorrow and a red headed
vamp on Saturday night it's be
cause she's following Fashion =
latest dictate on hair STYLES. Wigs
are about the newest things spon,
sored by the Fashion World.
One doesn t need he tFld headed,
badly bleached or Dyed or ruined
by permanent waves to rush to
the wig counter. It's merely Il
question of wanting to change ones
color scheme, in most cases. Then
too, it = not bad idea to give
one S own hair a rest from the curl
ing prongs ddring the Summer
months and one can wear one 3
own hair straight around the home
and don a wig Of duplicate color
for occasions which demand a
more fetching head-dress.
\ great many smart women
wear soft gray transformations
at night time. The brunette finds
these extremely flattering if her
face is youthful. And, the woman
with sad looking half grayed locks
also pcps up her appearance with
snowy white wig.
Needless to say, the modern wig
or transformation is bobbed. It is
made of the softest of hair and the
parting is so cleverly made that il
can not be detected from one 5
real part. There 5 tiny wisp of a
bang where the parting of the hair
ncars the forehead. It's quite as
tonishing how very light in weight
modern wig is, One need not
worry about its heating the head
and causing the hair to fall out.
Blondes, as rule, prefer trans
shade as they seem to bring out
the personality of the more drab
blonde type of woman. The brun-
cite may wear her own shade of
hair or gray to best advantage.
Some women D. startingly lovely
in wigs of gray and black hair
evenly combined, Most women wear
TRANSITIONAL tons only at evening
time when the hair is of contrast
ing color than their own. If the
transformation is of ones own
! color. it may be WORN at any time.
Wigs can be purchased from So
TO 800. the average costing about
| $50 or $50 in the department stores
and wig shops.

CHURCH LEAGUE OPENS
Three Contests Scheduled For To- night At Willow Brook Park Start Of Schedule.

The Inter Church baseball, league will open its season at Willow Brook park this evening at 6:45 o'clock. with three games scheduled for the first night. The St. Matthew's. Ger man Lutherans, who captured the title year ago, will start with the First Baptists. The St. Matts. have q good many of their championship players left and are prophesying a repetition of the 1926 runaway, but the whole league is out to stop this and the Baptists. not a weak team in any department, will be the first to try their hand. The South Congre- rational church. which has perhaps the largest squad of any team in the league. will oppose the Stanley Me- morial nine. always a dangerous ag- grcgation; these two teams opened against each other last year. the Stanmors winning by 9-l on infield misplays in the first inning. The swedish Bethany team, which has given assurances that a strong line- up will take the field. will play its first league contest against the Trin- ity Methodists, last years runners up. Tho umpires will be G. Preis- ser. A. Morton and C. Frederickson.
 The weather today looked doubt full and league officials called atten- tion to the new ruling that games would be played unless rain fell for IS minutes between 5 ?. m.. and game time.

R|CkARD'S STATUS ID BE DETERMINED
Dempsey Also Concerned in
 Court Rulings

New York, May e.-(UP)-A fed eral court and two state athletic commissions will probably decide this week what Tex Richards status will be this summer as an outdoor boxing promoter. Jack Dempsey $ return to the squared arena is in- volved in the controversies.
 Of most immediate concern to Rickard is the outcome of the in- junction suit brought against him by Walter Taylor. Cleveland promoter. to proven. the Jim Maloney-Tom Sharkey battle set for May 19 at Yankee stadium. Taylor says he has a prior claim on Maloney for a bout with Johnny Risko. The suit was argued before Federal Judge Henry w, Goddard In court here last week and the judge promised an early decision, which will probably be this week.
 The boxing boards of both New York and Massachusetts have bar red Pauline from fighting in those states until he explains. if he can, why he hasn't lived up to a contract Eddie Mack of Boston says he signed with him for a fight with Ed keeley.
 Paulino's manager, Al Mayer, was to appear before the Bay State boxing commission today to try to give satisfactory explanation. Rickard has already announced that Dempsey's first opponent in his comeback will be Pauline, and at an early date: so unless the New York and Massachusetts boxing commits sions decide with Pauline. Rickard may have to get Dempsey another partner or postpone the first of the Dempsey specials until after the Spaniard has satisfied the Boston promoter.
 Decisions are expected this week from both commissions.
 Rickard holds the contract for a return bout between Mickey Walker. middieweight champion, and Tiger Flowers. The contract was signed before the fight at Chicago last De- cember when Walker won the deci- sion and title from Flowers. Under the contract. Walker agreed to a re- turn bout if he defeated Flowers.
 Walker has made plans to sail for Europe on May IT and Flowers Walk Miller. intends to stop him if he can. He will appear before the state athletic commission today to ask the commission to pre- vent Walker from going to Europe before giving Flowers a return bout.
