Speaking Of the weather, Dame
Fashion is certainly preparing for
some cold days this winter. AS /
mentioned in a previous article, she
is robbing animals, wild and cult
waited, TO swathe her cloth coats in
fur, and Is adding discreet flares to
her fur coats, tapping them well over
10 the side for greater warmth as
we'll as style. Now she climaxes her
preparations with boots. Not the
Wellington boots Of the past few
seasons, which are still good for
those whose clothes budget Is not
prohibitive, but q regular high kid
shoe fashioned on the lines Of our
galoshes.
These shoes. which I have had the
artist sketch for you, have just made
their appearance in New York, but
shoemen claim they are a good num-
Der and the forerunner of the mode
for boots in another year. They can
be worn in three ways-turned down
in a cuff, as shown on the figure in
the sketch, with the front flap turn
ed down as shown in the sketch at
the left, and high as shown at the
right lower corner. They come in
brown, beige. black, and the new
royal blue kldskln.
Come Over Knees
Another indication Of fair and
colder weather. is the new Yelling
ton boot introduced by Irene Castle,
shown at the upper left of the
sketch. These, you will note, come
up slightly over the knees. They are
also Of kidskin. as IL is impossible
70 make a neatly fitting high boot
like this of any but a very soft, pill
able leather.
simultaneously appearing with the
new boots, are new high galoshes,
very like rubber boots. They are OF
rubber, flannel lined. and have q zip
per fastening on the inside Of the
leg. They come in gray, tan and
black, with the foot %similating a
pump in contrast or compose, as
black where the galoshes are Of
gray, or brown where they are Of
tan. The cuffs are Of velvet in
color 20 match the foot.
IL has often been said, even of
fashions, there is nothing new under
the sun. This is literally true.
Fashion is always startling US with
something new, though she does bark
back a few seasons to get her inspi-
ration. Those Of US who watch for
trends know pretty well what TO ex-
peot next year, judged by the mode
introduced this year. There is a dir
ference between a style and a mode.
A style introduced may or may not
be accepted. Once il is accepted IL
becomes a mode. II is on this basis
that shoemen look forward TO the
mode for boots next year. Watch
and see what happens.

SENELLCAN
HIT EN-

Helnie Manush, of Detroit. was
the leading batsman of the Amer
lean League for 1926.
Babe Ruth was the leading run
producer, with Tony Lazzerri, Of
the Yankees, and George Burns
tied for second honors. Ruth led
in homers. Gehrig in triples and
George Burns set a new League
record for doubles with sixty-four.
But the Surest hitter of the game
for last year, and taken over a
stretch of six years. the most GER
tain, most remarkable hitter Of them
all, is little Joie Sewell, Of the
Cleveland Indians.
In six full seasons. seldom

off the New Orleans infield to

ball pitched by Carl Mays.
Sewell has famed seventy-six
times.
Sewell holds the major league and
the worlds record for fewest strike
outs In a season. In 1925 he
played in 1855 games. facing the
pitcher sos times and striking out
four times. This broke the former
record held by Charley Holloche-,
erstwhile7 star shortstop OF the
Cubs. who in 1922 went through
152 games. facing the pitcher 0J2
times for five strikeouts.
SeMell followed his marvellous
performance of 1925 with an
other, almost equally brilliant,
last season. when he faced the
pitcher SIS times i'm 15S games
and struck out six times. That
gives him q total of ten strike
outs in two years, during which
he completed sos games and
was at the bat 1.186 times. No
other batsman in the history
of baseball ever approached this
record.
The worst year Of SewelPs brief
but brilliant career to date was 1922
when he missed the charmed 800
class by a fraction of a point and
struck out twenty times. His

Putting Grip
Important,
Says Exams
By Charles Chick Evans, j

/ am convinced that a player
should not hold his club too tight
when making a short putt. OF
course, you must not hold it too
loose. but l am inclined towards
looseness because you cannot get a
sense Of feel through too tight
muscles. @
made particular study of some
great putters last summer, and ]
noticed that they relaxed their
hands just before they took the
final grip on the club. This re.
ieved them of all undue tension,
and yet they had firm enough
hold so that the club head would
not become sloppy as it travelled
its course.
1t Is a wise person who lets
the club head do its share in
putting. or all the different
kinds OF impatience the most
fatal Is the kind which the
player uses when he hurries
his club head into the short
putt. Toward the latter part of
last year | got SO l would open
my hands with the club head
lying in the palm just before ]
hit. This made the club head
feel like q weight when l took
my finger grip. and it helped
me very much.
1t is pretty well understood that
the best stance is that which trans
fers the weight to the left leg and
keeps it there. Figure /. Some
people point the left toe out and
others have it in any position, even
pointed in. For years let my
hands stray around in that terri
tory directly above the ball and
away from the body. / tried it in
all kinds of ways and ! want to
tell you that those heartbreaking
inches in the air when my hands
floated have caused RE very serious
trouble on the short putt.
OF course, the hands must be IL
a position to be moved on a long
putt. But believe me, ] am ''off'
Of having my hands away from my
body more than / have to on any
kind Of putting. On the short putt
/ want to find some spot on my
leg where my hands can rest
1 don't think a person ought
to crouch over too much, but l
think there is a great deal in
having your eyes directly over
the top of the ball, just as il
they were following the direc.
tiOn of plumb line.
Figure 2. OF course. one of thu
mos. important things when taking
your stance is to get in that posi-
ton where you can best visualize
the imaginary direction line which
begins a few inches back of thu
ball and runs through it either IL
a curving or a straight line through
the hole. And more important il
the little piece OF this line a few
inches in front of the ball ovel

Coolidge to Get
Women S Appeal
for Equal Rights

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 5.-A new
campaign for equal rights for men
and women will be started with a
personal plea to President Coolidge
by representatives Of the National
Woman's party, following the or
ganization's convention at Colorado
Springs this week.
The feminist delegation will leave
the Colorado convention city next
Sunday by motor, making speeches
for their cause en- route to Rapid
City.
Word of the call was given out
here following a meeting of the
capital branch, at which the Presi-
dent was called upon in resolutions
to exert his influence to obtain pass
age of the Curtis Anthony constitu-
tional amendment to eliminate all
present legal restrictions imposed
because of sex.
Miss Dorothy Evans, British fem
mist, said that English women were
confronted by restrictions similar to
those in this country. She pleaded
for international cooperation among
feminists and deplored the fact that
the spirit of feminism had not been
brought into the international labor
office of the League of Nations at
Geneva.
The only way to obtain equal
rights, Miss, Evans said, was to bring
the subject before parliaments, con-
crosses and world councils. ~

"a little child shall lead them.
That Biblical quotation is often
exemplified in Indianapolis homes
according to Miss Lucetta Chr
Juvenile Court worker in charge o.
dependent children.
Many times a nameless child
adopted into a home will revolt

She agrees with the statement OF
Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson, wife OF
the famous artist, 1.-THE risk OF
adopting a child may be great, but
the risk of growing old without a
child is greater"
Miss Chr cited a particular case.
) "a young woman living in a
boarding house, deserted her small
child. The landlady and her huS-
band wanted to keep the baby and
sought to measure up to the stand-
ards necessary for them to, qualify
as foster parents"
First they moved into a. better
neighborhood- they had been in a
very doubtful one. They improved
their immediate home surroundings,
the quality of their rooners, them
selves. Finally, they gave up the
roonaing house business, bought a
chicken farm near indianapolis and
there in healthful and superior sur
roundings, they are rearing their
beloved little foster child into fine
clean little American. Those peo-
pie in the few years I observed
them we're completely made over
