Three other walks were issued

10 Hits and Hits
The Tribe got ten hits to eight for
the Brewers with Reb Russell doing
the heavy stickwork with triple,
double and two singles. Matthews
got a double and Luce of the Brew

The Indians got an even break

Is more than right handlers.
There are number of port
siders in the American League who
worry him but only limited num-
Der of right handlers are in that
class.
George Uhle Of the Cleveland
club, leading pitcher of the Ameri-
can League last season, is one of the
few right handlers who successfully
matches his wits and ability with
the Babe.
doubt II any pitcher in the
organization pitches to Ruth as
much as he does. The situation
must be decidedly tense for Uhle to
grant him an intentional pass.
True, Babe makes his home runs
of Uhle, for no pitcher is immune
from that habit of his, yet Uhle
holds the upper hand just as often,
if not more than Ruth.
1t is the opinion of Uhle that
fast breaking curve kept low is the
only style delivery to throw to
Ruth in the proverbiaI pinch.
N a recent game with Cleve-
land, Ruth hit a home run
- into the right field bleachers
at the New York stadium with Uhle
pitching.
No one was on at the time and
Uhle did a little experimenting. He
tempted fate and broke his curve
over the plate waist high. Babe did
lie rest.
few innings later, with the
ses filled. Uhle caused Ruth to
rike out, but, take it from me, he
fdn't throw him any curve balls
waist high.
Babe swung and missed at two
y1ow curves for the second and third
1 strikes. Either would have been a
ball had he passed them up. How
ever, Uhle's low curve looks good
when it is a few feet from the plate
and is tempting morsel to bite at
Its effective work is accom-
plished in the last few feet the
ball travels, for the batsman
either misses it entirely or tops
the ball.
"ET7 HILE certain batters hit
NV more consistently than Ruth,
- for example Sheely and Falk
OF the White Sox, no batter makes
pitcher bear down like Babe"
remarked Uhle in discussing the
games greatest slugger.
ut is usually disastrous to try to
throw a fast ball by him. He pulls
those on the inside to right, reaches
out and smacks those on the outside
to left
"A curve ball, unless it is kept
very low, doesn't fool him. 1 have
heard it argued that he is sucker
for a change of pace, but not for
me. A good change of pace should
trouble any batter and Ruth is no
xception-but don't throw too
many of them to HIM"
Ruth has no weakness, accord
ing to Uhle. He simply hits Ger
! tain styles of pitching better than
y others.

DiSagreeable February.

February is month that can boast
of the birth of many great and famous
men during it's short length, but in
spite of this. to many of us it is the
most disagreeable month in the whole
calendar.
There are several reasons for this.
After two months of Winter. lots of
boys and girls are tired of it. and are
eager for Spring. The month usually
brings bad weather, and we are apt
to be ill. School is just about half
over. and may be little tiresome.
Spring and vacation seem so far
away! .=
But just remember, as the snow or
the rain falls on some of these
gloomy days, that If every day were
a June day, you would soon be aw-
fully tired Of that fine weather. Re-
member, too, that the work you do
in February can be the best work you
do during the whole school year.
Study now so that when pleasant
weather does come, you will be able
to enjoy it with a clear conscience.
And cheer up. Complaining and
wishing never changed the weather
or anything else.

CHIFFON is spoken of as one of the
most promising materials for Spring
evening frocks. French, of course, in
origin, it has the additional meaning
in French of rag. And chiffonler. a
word which was borrowed by us when
it meant a cabinet in which to keep
fabrics and sewing materials, now in
dicates ragpicker in France.
REP is the word used to describe
some of the new lightweight wooden
materials used for Spring coats and
suits. These materials are always
characterized by a closely woven rib
or cord, and the word rep undoubtedly
has some connection with RIB or ribbed.
FLANNEL is a word which few
years ago we used only in connection
with such i1omely garments as petit
coats, underclothes and nightgowns.

rails it designates have now come into
fashion. and light blue, pink, green or

is right, still it would be bit of af-
fectation for any one writing of
the present crepe to spell the word
Grape" instead of crepe" The
French word crepe was originally
spelled "crespe," taken from the Latin
that meant curly. The old types of
crepe possessed the characteristic
curliness of weave rather more than
do the present fabrics of the name.
POPLIN is an old time fabric which
within the past season or so has been
brought back into favor. Like so
many other fabric words, 1t is derived
from a French source. The French
word was popeline and the material
was so called because it was originally
made only at Avignon. where the
Popes lived during their hundred
years exile from Rome.
MORE is a word we have taken
from French word which originally

most often spoken of. 1t has been
used to great extent in the making
of children's frocks for Spring and is
much used here in making smart
tailored pajamas. 1t wears extremely
well and is one of the most satisfac-
tory of materials so far as laundry
work goes.
CREPE is a word that Is used OK
tensively nowadays to designate
many sorts of materials. There is
georgette crepe, satin crepe, Canton
crepe, crepe de chine, etc. In fact,
the present period of fashions might
be considered as a time of the tri-
umph of the crepe type of fabric.
This is another word that we have
borrowed twice from the French. The

lish usage, II. w. Fowler, writes that

children and simple daytime frocks
for women.
VOILE.-This word is applied now
to cottons, silks and woods. Though
cotton and silk voiles have not been
so much seen recently as they were
few years ago. wool wolfe is spoken
of as a fabric likely to gain much
favor for Spring. This Is a word
which we, have, it seems, twice Dor.
rowed from France. Our word veil
was taken centuries ago from the
French wolfe. But, in the parlance

nearly as much of your dress as an
ordinary apron does. To these protec-
tive coverings are then attached the
bags, which consist of more cloth with
the right and left edges turned in and
sewed In place. The bottom edge is
brought up on the inside and also
sewed, thus leaving no exposed seams.
A more attractive errand apron can
be made from oilcloth instead of can
vas and will not soil so easily. If you
care to, you can use two colors of oil
cloth for this, making the bag and
shield of one color and the straps of
another. Further decorations can be
provided by fastening silhouette de-
signs on the front and back of the
same material. After cutting the de-
signs out. fasten them with rubber
cement or ordinary glue.

of course nothing to do with mohair.
1t is a silk material with watered
appearance secured by some trick in
the weaving and finishing.
JERSEY is a word that we now APP
ply to all sorts of machine-knitted
materials, and it owes it's origin to the
fact that we'll known variety of this
fabric was once knitted only on the
Island of Jersey. Stockinget, which
is a contraction of stocking net" is
used more often in England than in
this country to describe this type Of
material. Tricolette and tricot-from

knit-were used few years ago to
indicate certain sorts of silk material
of this sort, but just at present they
