NEW YORK, April 10.-Of all
IN the many practical costumes
OF spring (and spring costumes GER
tainly are practical, as every fash
ion-knoWing woman is alvarez here's
one that rates ace-high for useful
ness and economy.
It's the lightweight wool coat with
its own silk dress-an ensemble, If
you like to call it that.
The coats Of these ensembles
aren't as heavy as a separate coat
would be. Their woods are a little
lighter. Sometimes they're lined and
sometimes they aren't.
And all that makes them fine
coats for later summer wear when
it's too warm for a regulation weight
spring coat.
Simple in Line
The coats of these ensembles are
usually quite simple in line. They're
most apt to be collarless or to have
very small collars.
They're newest with three-quar-
ter length sleeves (and this gives q
chance for some nice effects when
bright colored or printed dress
sleeves hang below.
They're most practical when they
wrap well over to the side, of course.
But some of them are made on
redingote lines, fastening straight
in the middle below the waistline
with two or three buttons and then
opening in V-shape below.
Dresses Are Bright
The dresses that go with these
coats are usually of a gay print or
some bright, spring like color.
They have long or short sleeves;
but when the coat has three-quarter
length sleeves, then the dress is
usually long sleeved.
So with such a costume, you have
really three costumes-or the foun-
dalton of three, at least. % Coat
and dress worn together. 90 Coat

Hornsby's Homer Defeats Pirates,
5 to 4-Wilson Gets Single

BY the Associated Press.
For the fans who like their double
headers in May and June, there was a
catch in yesterdays program that saw
the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh
Pirates, to 4, in the only big league
contest.
Only two games were scheduled yes
terday as the entire American League
and half the National took a day off
before the first big week end The st.
Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds
were forced to postpone their clash at
Cincinnati on account of wet grounds.
Manager Rogers Hornsby of the Cubs
put his team into undisputed possession
CT third place in the National League
after young Charley Woods pitching
had almost stopped the Chicago slug
gers. After shutting out the Cubs with
two hits in five innings and tanning
five, Wood weakened in the sixth and
gave two runs. Then with two on base
in the seventh, the Rajah clouted his
second home run of the season. This
proved to be the winning tally as Pitts
burgh got to Guy Bush in the closing
inning for three runs and Sweetland
and Bob Smith were called in to stop
them just short of a tie.
Hack Wilson finally broke his hitting
slump with single, but twice In the
early innings he failed TO connect when
runners were on base.
/ All the big league teams are due to
go into action today. Pittsburgh moves
to Cincinnati and ST. Louis TO Chicago
in the only changes of the previous
schedules.

.JEERS DISAPPEAR
AS RAJAH CLOUTS
New Manager Making Good
in Big Way With Cub Fans,
Who Crowd Park.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
~HICAGO, April 18.-There are
exactly $50 games left for
Y bowling occasions by disturbed
fans, but to date Rogers Hornsby
is making good in a big way as player
manager of William Wrigley'S Cubs.
Probably no change of managers ever
the Rajah succeeded Joe Mccarthy as
pilot of the Cubs toward the end of the
1880 campaign; probably no base ball
manager ever won the admiration of
the tickle fans as quickly.
In the first four games of the season,
under the Rajah's leadership, the Cubs
not only won three for flying start
in the pennant race, but they answered
the speculation that they wouldn't draw
the crowds any more because of Nc
Carthy'S dismissal by attracting ap-
proximately 10000 customers, or an
average of about $4,000 a game. Never
in the history Of Wrigley Field did the
turnstiles click as merrily for an opening
series.
Rajah Is Brilliant.
The Rajah himself appears to have
definitely settled one of the big queS-
lions in the pennant chances of his
Cubs. And that question is his ability
to come back as a player. Although he
cannot be expected to be fast because
of his age, near 36 years, he is in good
physical condition. He is as dangerous
as ever as hitter and he fields much
better than he did in 1929 and 1880.
In the Pirate series he batted better
than 300, although he Is VIGOROUSLY
weak Spring hitter; scored runs, drove
in and won two of the battles by l
run by smashing out home runs.
Defensively, he handled 20 chances
with but l error on a viciously hit
ground ball. surprised the fans by run
ming back on the grass and getting pop
flies and was a pivotal point In three
Lightning double plays.
Hack Suffers.
One Hornsby method of play that has
pleased the customers is his instruction
to pitchers to play the batter and not
the runner. The hurlers have been told
to let the catcher and the infleld do
most of the worrying about the base
runners and they like it. Seldom did
a Cub pitcher attempt to catch runner
off the bag unless the catch looked
good. Consequently, the games have
been Speeded up-the four games with
the Pirates were played in the average
time of / hour and Sc minutes.
So far none of the base ball writing
sleuthS have been able to detect any
dissension on the club although dis
sension seldom creeps out when a base
ball club is winning. The only dissen-
sion noticeable is from Hack Wilson's
big war club. The pudgy Cub center
fielder Is in the throes of a miserable
batting slump. with but ! hit in II
chances, and Is plenty dissatisfied.

Central High has drawn the fifteenth
position from the pole in the interscho-
lastic quarter-mile relay in the Penn re-
lays next Friday on Franklin Field.
Bill Foley, veteran Central coach, to-
day announced that Naylor, Ditzler

Price and Smith are only 16. while Nay
Tor is IT. All will be back in school

versity of Maryland freshmen in a dual

H0YA NINE TRAVELS
AFTER WIN AT HOME
Visits New York U. Following 1913
Defeat of Villanova-Tennis
Team Tries Again.

Georgetown University's base ball and
tennis teams, which won and lost, re-
spectively, yesterday were to shift their
battle ground today.
The Hoya nine, which drubbed
Villanova, 10 to 3. on the G. U. diamond
for its fourth straight win. was to face
New York University at New York.
Defeated by New York University
racketerS in an 81 match yesterday at
New York, the G. U. tennis team was
to meet Villanova at Philadelphia.
Georgetown pounded IL hits behind
the fine pitching of NoZnesky and
Heany to turn back Villanova. Scalzi
and King, each of whom hit homers.
and Morris, who gathered two doubles
and a single, led the Hoya assault.
Georgetown took the lead in the
second inning and held it, driving
Kobilis, the starting pitcher. from the
box in the sixth inning when it chased
across runs.
The score:
