By Babe Ruth

DETROIT, Aug. 16.- Here's
a3funny! one.
I've heard about baseball
serving a lot of\ good turns
like keeping people out in the
open air, keeping kids out Of
mischief and all that, but the
other day / heard a new one.
I heard Of a fellow who makes
his wife go to the ball game
every day so he can save some
money. No fooling. And
that's one you can't laugh off.
III happened this way.
For about month now I've no
ticed couple of women who came
to the Stadium every afternoon, and
who, the boys tell me, go to the
Polo Grounds every day when the
Giants are home. They always take
the same seats and always come into
the park about an hour before the
game starts.
You could see from watching them
that they weren't much Interested
inY baseball and didn't know muen
about it-and SO the boys sort OF
wondered why they came up tnere
every day.
Finally one of the ushers put us
wise.

Enough what they'll do with a
world series crowd in Philadelphia
is beyond me. That park over there
won't take care of half the people
that will be rushing around trying
tosget in-and among all the jobs in
the world I wouldn't want is being

that would knock your eye out dur

they get the world series fever it
will Sbe twice as bad.
IL the Yankees don't win it will
be- the first time in several years
that ] haven't been in a world
series and its a sort of relief at
that to know that can go UP there
and sit in the press box and watch
the games without a single worry
to my name. Playing a world
series brings quite a kick but it's
o lot of hard work and worry too.

"T hate to see catchers tipping

faults for left.hand batters with a

that catchers fail to gauge the con-

They do not seem to analyze the

Sammy West needs more pa

"Sam Rice, the grand old man OF
the team, is having his trouble get.
ting started after line hits from
the shadows of the stand. A slow
start towards center has let many
a hit go through for long hits.
1T may be that those good old
legs of his have slowed up more
than suspected. He still seems to
get down to first about as fast as
most Of them and faster than a
great many who are younger than he
is. and I have come to the conclu.
sion that the shadows bother him
in sensing the direction Of hard hit
balls toward right center.
1T is strange to me that sam
does not attempt to drag a few
bunts between the pitcher and first
andSon the other side. He was a

Vanity Leads to Envy and Jealousy, Says Winifred Blac
SPRING STYLES IN FOOTWEAR
Shoes Have Never Been So
Fascinating as They Are
This Season.
BY Marie Marot


"HE feminine trend of the
seasons styles has extended
literally from head to foot.
Never have shoes been as fas-
cinating and alluring as the
latest models shown for Spring.
Designers to have exerted
themselves to the utmost to Gre
ate new and startling designs
both as to cut and materials.
Even the sport shoe has under
gone a distinct change and in
stead of the plain masculine
lines to which we have accus-
toned ourselves as the correct
thing for sport, one finds a
beauty and dash extending into
this long neglected field.
The shoes pictured above
have been picked at random
from a bewildcring array of
footwear as being outstanding
examples Of beauty and chic.
At the top is a spoN shoe Of
yellow ratah silk, painted in
tones of orange and yellow.
The strap and trim is Of kid in
an off-yellow shade.
Below is a street shoe of
lizard with harmonizing beige
kid on the vamp tip, rear Of
quarter, strap and heel.
Beneath is an afternoon
shoe of parchment kid, using
sun-tan kid as a trimming.
A lovely strap pump comes
next in two tones of beige kid,
with a novelty tip extending
into a small tongue.
At the bottom is a step-in Of
pale beige kid, with sun burn kid
inlays in graduated polka dot
effect.
Woven kid shoes are also
shown for sportswear, and any
number of brilliantly colored
linens and embroidered silks.
These match most attractively
with the gaily colored materi-
ais so popular at present. In
deed, ensembles are being shown
consisting of hat, handbag, scarf
and shoes all of the same
material.
