flared cuffs.
Diverse Collars
Collars will be just as inter.
esting as sleeves, however, and
will often be the main point Of
variety in the coat. There will
be several kinds Of scarf col
lars that will be knotted or
thrown over the shoulder. Turn.

contrasting long-haired fur. In
fact, many contrasting furs
will be used in all types Of
trimming. Again we will have
black as the leadin5 color for
coats, with brown second.
Splendid Values
If you buy a fur coat in the
August sale, remember that you
are getting a good value, be-
cause the best pelts are put
into the earliest fall coats.
Other things to remember are
that your coat must be a little
longer than last years coat and
that in the wealth of new fash
ion there are some that are
very becoming to you. SO you
must look until you find them.
Next week we will sketch
some fur coats from the August
sales that will illustrate these
points. If you want any infor'
nation, write Miss Laville. In.

August fur sales will bring
coats that are lovelier than
ever, and that will be more be-
coming than coats have ever
been. The reason is that the
new fur coats are smoother
fitting and have simmer lines
than we have ever had before,
and they make you look as
slender as a cloth coat. This
is because only flat furs are
used, and they are treated in
new ways so that they are as
pliable as fabric.
Short-Haired Furs
Chief among the popular
furS will be caracul and lamb,
now made more soft and work
able than ever. Then there will
be galyak and pony, so smooth
and thin. Seal skin, both
genuine Alaskan and Hudson
seal, will be with us again, and
ldDlH, WIlICIl lOOho AlhC oSoA'
Mink and beaver will be among
the better furs used. and for
popular priced coats, muskrat
will be as much in favor as
ever.
Lines Simmer
Lines will be a bit straighter
than before and there will be
a little less flare in the skirt
section, anC more fitting in the
hips. Like cloth coats, those
Of fur will lap over. The waist
line will be just a bit higher,
and will be definitely indicated
by a slight fitting, by a button
or in ne case of sports coats,
by a belt. Buttons will be used
as trimming a good deal, too,
on the sleeves, and sleeves Will

FRONT ROYAL, Va, March 10.
The Front Royal All Stars, one
of the outstanding ball teams Of
this section of the State last year,
met at the fire house on Wednes-
day night and reorganized for the
coming season.
DR.. Willard w. Sonner was
elected president; E. T. Sinner,
general manager, and Stewart C.
Payne, secretary and treasurer.
The All Stars last year had a
creditabIe record. They won IS
out of As games played.
All the regular players are
back and a lot of new material,
rs candidates in all.
The diamond will be put in
first-class condition and a lot of
improvements will be done to the
grandStand. New uniforms and
other accessories are being bought
for the team this year.
Manager Sinner is now arrang'
ing the schedule, and all teams de-
string games should get in touch
with him as early as possible.

his sickness of two years ago.
Dudley believes he didn't get
enough chance to work with the
Dodgers last season and has
told ShOttOn he wants to be a
starting pitcher with the PhilS.
Behind the bat, Shotton has
three veterans from last year
Virgil Davis, Rensa and McCurdy.
Rensa is the best receiver, while
Davis is the Slugger of the trio.
Gene Connell, former Penn bas-
ketball and baseball star, has been
showing so much speed and ag-
gresSiveness that it is likely that
a trade will be made for one OF
the three veterans and Connell
retained.
FL Infield Berths Open
Only two positions in the in,
field are settled-Pinkey Whitney
at third and Dick Bartell, OBJ
tanned from Pittsburgh, at short.
Either Hurst or Jack Sherlock
will land the first base job with
the veteran Barney Friberg or
young Mallin at second. Hurst
lacks real aggressiveness when
the breaks go against him while
Sherlock is far from being as
fast as others of his age. Fri
berg, always a great spring
player, has the jump on Mallin
and will likely start the season
at second.
The presence of Buzz Arlett,
veteran Pacific Coast slugger
in camp, may cause ShOttOn
to switch Chuck Klein from
right to center field. Arlett
has been knocking the cover
off the new ball with his
mighty walIOps and his power
is needed in the lineup.
He played right field for Oak
land and can also make a fair
job of first baSing. In left field
will be found either Brickell, OBJ
tanned from the Pirates in a
trade for Southern, or Roster,
former Little Rock star. Scout
Joe O'Rourke claims Roster can
do everything demanded of a big
league outfielder and that his
speed will land him a regular
berth with the Phils. Another
fighting for an outfield job is
Hal Lee, another ex-Brooklyn
Dodger. Tony PlanSky, pur-
chased by the Phils from Erie,
didn't want to report until June
so he was sent back to Erie.
Tony wasn't over eager to join
the Phils because of the salary
offered him.

GIFT BACKER
"WilI be pleased to serve on

"WiII be pleased to serve on
Ruel committee"
Such is the telegram received
by The Washington Times today
from Thomas Francis Flaherty,
prominent baseball fan and per.
sonal friend of Walter johnson,
who is now in Biloxi, Miss, vaca-
tioning at the site of the Griff
mems Spring training activities.
Thus P o ma Ster william
Mooney, chairman and treas
urer of the Muddy Ruel Re
membrance Committee, has q
valuable aide in one of RuePs
greatest admirers.
The committee plans to pre-
sent the popular catcher with q
token of esteem and appreciation
for his eight years of valiant ser
vice in mask and chest protector
of the Washington ball club
When Muddy comes through here
Sunday, April 19, with the Boston
Red Sox, to whom he was traded
this Winter.
So far this Muddy Ruel COM
mittee is composed of Mooney,
Flaherty, Fred Pelzman, William
M. Smith and Fred Buchholz.
Additional committee members
from Alexandria, RoSslyn, Cher
rydale, Rockville, Bethesda, Sill
yer Spring and Hyattsville have
been invited to act on the COM
mittee, which is accepting small
contributions from as many fans
as possible, with which to buy
some suitable expression of fan
admiration for the popular former
Griff catcher.
Invitations have been sent to
prominent spOrtSmen in these
localities and daily they are
falling in line behind the Ruel
idea with their nickels, dimes
and quarters.
The Red Sox come to Wash
ington for the first time this sea-
son on Sunday, April 10, one
month from today, and within
the next three weeks it is ex.
pected the total of these small
contributions from the fans will
be sufficient to get Ruel an ap
propriate gift which will always
remind him of the friendships he
formed in washington as result
of his great playing here, as well
as his affable and popular qusli'
! ties off the field.

The new deal, bringing poten-
tial diamond aces to his squad,
has left Shotton hopeful, if not
confident. One year ago with all
the aforementioned stars, Shot
ton had dreams of finishing high
in the first division, with a pen
nant his fortune this season. The
high-priced stars failed to pro-
duce, and with their departure
went Burt's pennant hopes.
Young and Old
Shutton is moulding his 1881
team on mixture of seasoned
major league stars, minor league
veterans and sprinkling OF
youths who may provide the spark
that has been missing at Baker
bowl for years. It's motley crew
that's conditioning here-one of
the most varied to be found in
any major league camp.
Not one department has
taken concrete form. The
pitchers have been reaching
form slowly, and ShOttOn has
been taking his time in pick
ing his varsity infield and out
field.
The absence of Jack Sherlock,
an infielder, Ind forced return
to his home by Don Hurst, first
baseman, further upset Shotton's
early plans.
Pitching, always treacherous
pastime in the short right field
Baker bowl will he taken care of
by experienced hurlers whose rec
or IS, however, are not over-im-
pressive. From last years roster
Shotton has Ray Benge, Phil Col
Inns and Ace Elliott, three hard
working right handlers. Benge
was star three years ago, a sore
arm handicaping him in the last
two. Collins was one Of the best
pitchers in the league last year,
while Elliott finished with a rush.
The other pitchers have been
up and down. Now they're up in
the Zig tent again. 1t is the last
chance for some. Johnny Milli-
gan, a southpaw, is making his
third attempt t. win varsity job
under Shotton. Lack of control
been his weakness. He's the
hardest worker in camp. Then
| there's Stewart Bolen, drafted
from Baltimore, where he won So
games in three years. Bolen had
a try-out with. the AS two years
ago, IL flivered.
Veteran MOundsmen
Two other veterans back in the
majors under Shotton are Harold
Wiltse. southpaw, and Lii
Stoner, orthodox moundsman.
Wiltse was purchased from
Wichita Falls. He has a Still-arm
motion like Phil Collins and may
stick this year, as he failed to in
the past with Boston and st.
Louis, of the American League.
Stoner was with Detroit five years
ago and was purchased from Fort
Worth, champions of the Texas
League, where he won many
games.

RAIL RATE HIKE
PETITION LIKELY
TO Be REFUSED
Commerce Commission Is
Expected to Announce
Denial in October.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The in
terstate commerce commission was
understood today to be planning to
announce early in October its de-
cision on the petition of the rail-
roads for a Is per cent freight rate
increase.
While proceedings have not been
completed, it was understood that
on the basis of the showing already
made by the railroads and the OPP
position entered by agricultural in
terests, shippers and others, the
commission was inclined to reject
the carriers plea.
1t was reported that the commits
sion was convinced that agricultural
products could not bear any higher
rates than are now being paid
While the railroads asked for a
blanket increase, asserting they
would adjust rates later to a fair
basis for all concerned, the COM
mission was represented as being
inclined to believe that differenti-
atoms should be made for the vari-
Gus commodities.
Not to Is Per Cent
In some cases, it was understood,
the commission was ready to au-
thorize higher rates, but not to the
full IS per cent asked by the car
riers The figure of per cent was
suggested as a more likely one.
The proceedings which began in
June, have moved swiftly and now
are in their final phases. The car
riers presented their arguments in
July. The opposition has pleaded
its case at various hearings
throughout the country. Hearings
now under way in Chicago will con-
clude that portion of the case, leav-
ing only the filing of briefs, final
arguments and the decision
The commission announce
Wednesday that oral arguments will
be heard in Washington beginning
Sept. 81. These are expected to be
concluded within a week. The COM
mission has indicated that the
speed which has characterized the
whole case will be continued and
has asked those expecting to appear
TO have their briefs filed by Sept. 49,
Debate Dismissed
When arguments are held, the
motion of six western states to dis
miss the carriers petition will be
debated. This motion is based on
the assertion that the commission
is without authority to grant rate
increases on a mere showing of
financial distress among the car
riers.
CHICAGO, Sept. Representa-
tiVes Of farm bureaus appearing be-
lore the interstate commerce COM
mission planned to argue today for
repeal of section 15-A of the trans
portation act which gives railroads
theoretical right to rates that will
produce an income of So per cent
on their investment.
Armed with figures tending to
show that the farm industry is in a
depressed condition, the farmer
spokesman said they would ask that |
no more industries be guaranteed
earnings unless agriculture also has
some assurance of justifiable re-
turn.
Testimony at Wednesdays session
developed question of whether the
proposed rate increases actually
would produce additional revenue.
Although carrier representatives
argued that it would, shippers con-
tend that so much business would
be diverted, through competitive
traffic and decentralization of in
dustry, that the roads would lose
business.
