Washington Fashions

Shoes still hold a prominent
place in the mode. Skirts are
longer, it Is true, but shoes are
conspicuous, and must be in
harmony with the whole cos
tune.
Washington women wear
more one-Strap shoes than any
other type. They are about
equally divided between straps
buckled in the center and on
the side. Heels are high in
many cases, or they are Cuban
for walking and street wear.
The shoe sketched C is typical
of the Smartest type. It is of
black suede with gunmetal kid
trimming, a very good comblna-
ton this season.
Shoe B illustrates the OK
ford, next in popularity. This
shoe is of black suede with pat
ent leather strapping. It's one
of the most attractive oXfordS
we've seen, especially as it fits
so snugly, and has beautiful
lines. Oxfords usually have Gu
ban heels for general daytime
wear, and for walking, though
some women prefer high heels,
and they are quite correct and
smart.
Opera pumps are third in IA
vor according to the numbers
worn, but they are the choice
of many smart women. The
pump sketched A is of black
suede with black lizard trim
ming. High heels appear on
pumps for afternoon wear, and
sometimes for street, though
the Cuban heel is now quite
popular on street pumps too.
The perfectly plain pump is
good. but pumps with trimming
usually look a little newer.
Shoes with two or three
straps are not seen on as many
women as the types described
above, but they are nevertheless
very smart. and are particularly
good with the tWeeds and wool
ems that are worn so much for
street, shopping or business.
The shoe sketched D is of black
suede with Java lizard trim
ming, and is an unusually good
illustration of this type. The
Cuban heel is not only comfort
able for walking, but has the
acceptance of the most fashion
able women. These shoes are
from a Washington store, and
illustrate the types counted in
The Washington Times Fash
ion Census, which was taken
last week.
Miss LaVille will gladly an
Swer any question about these
shoes or about fashion If you

OTTO VON PORAT
 KAYOES GAGNON
Norwegian Heavyweight Bounds
 Back Among Contenders

Chicago. May 2a Pt-Otto Won Porat, long ridiculed as a fighting man without a real heart, has bounded back as one Of the out standing candidates for the heavy weight boxing championship.
 The Norwegian completely beled his soft-hearted reputation at the Chicago Stadium last night by bat tering Jack Gagnon. knockout con- queror Of Tuffy Griffith, 10 the can vas after six sashing rounds.
 The knockout victory was perhaps the most impressive turned in by Non Porat since his invasion of America. Aiming heavy right hand smashes skillfully at his fast nov ing target, he was as relentless in his attack as he had been merciful in previous fights. Six times, he fell ed the Boston gob before he put him down and out for the count. The more courageous Gagnon became in the face of the heavy attack. the more furious became the barrage of punches.
 eighing his rival 17 IA pounds. Won Porat spared leisurely during the first round, found his range and opened his attack in the second. In that round, he f1oored Gagnon for counts of eight and nine with terrific punches 10 the head and body, He repeated his knockdowns, once in the third and three times in the sixth before he finally finished his opponent

RAIN PLAYS HAVOC WITH
 INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE
American Division Unable to Play Games at All While Two Are
 Staged in Canada.

By the Associated Press.
 Rain played havoc with the Amer ican division of the International league yesterday, but the two games played in Canada only served to tie the circuit in a tighter knot.
 A double-header victory over Toronto boosted the Montreal Roy als into tie for first place with the Buffalo Bisons as the Leafs dropped to fourth position. which was held by Montreal previous to yesterdays two contests. The Royals won the opener 10 to 2 and then took the seven inning nishtcap to Q.
 Although Montreal and Buffalo lead the league in percentage with 20 victories as against Is defeats. the first division clubs are actually tied in games won and lost. Balti- more, in third place, has won one more game than either of the lead CTS but also has lost one more while Toronto has won two and lost two more than Montreal and Buf- falo
 In winning the first game yester- day. Herb Thormahlen hung up his seventh consecutive victory Of the season, holding the Leafs 10 seven scattered hits. Johnny PrudhoMnle, Toronto mound ace, held the Roy als to one hit but three passes in the seventh coupled with that one hit gave Montreal the game.
