FURS IN VOGUE
THIS SPRING

PARIS, April 9.---Furs seem 20
hold just as important place in the
spring wardrobe Of the chic woman
as the winter one, now that closely
shayen ones, such as broadtail, lamb,
baby-calt and caracul make for the
slender silhouette as much as any
cloth or silk one.
Eccentricity is no longer demanded
by the women when choosing their
furs. What they want is delicate
workmanship which gives the smart
"sIimmlng" effect. A good example
comes in q mole with three tiers
trimming the front, balanced by q
pointed panel Of skillfully worked
strips OF fur which Is inset at the
back.
Beige, ermine, weasel. shaved
lamb and moleskin are the main
summer furs being shown. Calfsk!n,
either in black or brown and white
is a favorite for sports, and a
vast variety of color and design is
achieved in the shaver furs which
are dyed. bleached and painted.
Two scalloped bands in cloth or
different shades are used In a va.
ration of the usual fur trimming
on a coat in beige "agneau rase. !"
1t is placed around the neck and
the sleeves, hem and down the
front. On another in classical de-
sign. the skin is sewn together to
form an apparently intermediate
pattern p over the coat.
A mink coat has the fur worked
in narrow strips at the back in a
curious wavy movement which
mounts upward beneath the right
arm so that when 1t reaches the
front 1t becomes almost horizontal.
The effect Is accumulated by two
straight bands down each side OF
the opening.

MAY DECIDE TO MOVE
 BLEACHERS FROM FIELD
storm of Criticism Over Easiness of Homrrs Leads Braves Of-
 ficjals to Action.

Boston. April 25 P)-The now center and left field bleachers at the Braves Field have developed such storm of criticism that Judge Emil l.. Fuchs. president of Bcs- tons national leagunrs conceded to- day that the club might see fit to move them.
 The opening game at the Wigwam last Saturday saw four homers made and brought an immediate ava lanche of protest from the fans.
 If the stands do not act as We thought they would. they'll go' Fuchs said. I've can move them while the team is taking swing around the western circuit.
 John J. McGraW, manager Of the New York Giants who watched the game with Judge Fuchs, declared he thought they wore too close. Not only does the proximity of tho bloachers seem to produce a super abundancy Of home runs, but hits that should go for two or three bases now bounce off the wall Of the stands and hold the batter to q single.
 The stands are not fixtures and can be moved or eliminated with. out difficulty.

FALCONS ASK FOR
 ALL SUNDAY DATES
Request Denied, Locals May De.
 eide Still to Enter Circuit

A request by the Falcon baseball club of this city to the managers of the teams which plan to enter the Connecticut State Baseball league, made last night at meeting held i'll Meriden, for all it's Sunday dates in New Britain, at home, was denied after strenuous objections were raised by several of the other club managers and the matter of a schcd- . ule was tabled until the next meeting on Friday night.
 Manager John Cabay, representing the Falcons, was unable to state whether his team would agree to go into the league when it would have to give over it's home Sundays to comply with the scheduled games in the league and he at first stated that his team would probably not be en- tered. Today. however, he said that the Falcons would probably waive their request and comply with the wishes of the majority and that the tcamwould be entered in the league
 The matter of electing officers and other business scheduled for last night was postponed until later be- cause of the fact that the request of the Falcons and its denial by the other club managers was the most important topic of discussion.
 The league managers will meet again Friday night in Meriden, and if the Falcons agree to become :, member of the circuit, the league will probably start off with six teams entered.

 SEASON WITH WIN
Takes Poorly Played Game From
 Bristol by @-2S

The South Congregational church basketball team brought is much prolonged season to an end last night when it piled up a 53-2S score at the Boys club in defeating the Bris- tol Congregational Junior Brother hood for the second time. Mercy started his best night of the season by relaying the ball into the basket on the onc-two play in the first two seconds and the home team WaS never in danger. New Britain rAcoA out 10 a l6-4 lead at the quarter and had a big margin at the end of the first half. The Bristol players engaged in a, charging style of play which resulted in numerous fouls, which the home team turned to its advantage. In the third period, after showing it's superiority during the first half, the South church allowed it's play to deteriorate, and there was little real basketball seen from then until the final whistle.
 Captain Wilton Mercy scored al- most half of his teams points, mak- ing Il field goals and sinking four fouls out Of five. Bell and Barta gave him scoring support. and the rest of the team collaborated in fecd- ing these players. Marsh, Jaeger. and Harry Newcity topped the Bris- tOl tossers. The last named was in- j'lred in tho final quarter and had to t,at l. personal foM rule to allow Marsh to remain on the floor.
 The local team won 22 victories during it's game season, giving it a. tWo-ycar record of 45 wins and five losses. Last nights summary:
