makers. They were influenced by
Dutch designs, too, because Queen
Anne was Dutch born.
She had the traditional Dutch
love of domesticity. She liked to
do fancy work and serve tea and sit
in comfortable chairs when she did
both.
The furniture of the preceding
period-Tudor was masculine look
ing, massive, with straight lines. But
Dutch furniture had curves in it..
So the new furniture had curves in
it. too.
Curves everywhere-in the legs of
chairs and sofas and cabinets and
chests :. in the backs of chairs
in the tops of cabinets and the
aprons Of chests.
That's one way you recognize
Queen Anne design in modern fur
niture-by its curves. You can see
them in the illustration of the side
chair, an illustration of an original
piece of Queen Anne furniture
made in early zoos.
You can see them, too, in the

Those recessed arms are detail
that the ladies Of Queen Anne's day
appreciated. They wore fun, bill

He walked to the mound as if
he wanted to show the world as
we'll as johnson that he was still
a good pitcher and not as
temperamental as many might
think him to be because of his
actions the day before.
Carl had a very inauspicious
beginning. Earl Averill, Cleve-
land star centerfielder, faced him
as the first batter in the eighth.
He hit a home run to the deepest
corner of centerfield after Fischer
had gotten a count Of two and
two on him.
Morgan, next up, drew a base
on balls. But Carl did not give
up. Neither did johnson as he
nodded to Fischer to keep going.
Joe Vosmik popped a foul back
of the plate which Spencer COB
bled up. Kamm walked, but
Myatt popped to Cronin and
Montague famed, to make Carls
effort fair to say the least.
Fischer, after the game, had
this to say: -
eyes, / know / was on my
mettle out there today, and
that made me q little nervous.
But / did want to show Walter
that 1 could pitch. 1 realize
shouldn't have flown off the
handle as / did the other day.
But / felt both bad and dis
guSted because Walter held
little confidence in me. Inn

The Griffs lost yesterday, 10 to
8, because Fred Marberry joined
the list of Washington pitchers
to fail. Big Fred lost because
the Indians socked him for l6
hits-enough to win most any old

gan sacrificed and Averill doubled
for the four runs.
In the seventh Montague,
Porter and Vosmik singled, AverIll
and Harder doubled, and Morgan
hit a home run over the right
field screen for the five markers.
Averilrs homer off Fischer in
the eighth, as related above,
counted the other Indian run.
The Griffs were helpless
against Harder until the fifth.
In this frame they jumped
upon his shoots for four runs
lead which would have won
for Marberry 10 other times but
yesterday. Kuhel and Rice hit
singles, ManuSh and Spencer
drove out doubles, and CrOnin,
BIuege and West walked for
the four markers.
Marbery's single and Myers
double scored one more Griff run
in the sixth. In the eighth the
Griffs staged a rally which fell
short by two runs as the final
score brings out. Harder was
driven from the mound and Con-
nally rushed as the relief man in
this frame.
Two errors by Morgan, walks to
Spencer and Manush, and a single
by Kuhel scored three runs
the final Criff scoring fer the
day. The Griffs showed by the
run-making trst they stu are hit
ting, even though their pitchers
are not pitching. A happy me-

Had Rare Accuracy

In his mouth he constantly
carried a cud of scrap chewing
tobacco and he could expector-
ate from the pitchers box to
first base with as much &C
curacy and judge Of distance,
as he could throw to the plate
doing both with great gusto
throughout the entire afternoon.
Well, sir, these little shri1nps
from Princeton, who compared
only in age with the more ROBUST
boys of Detroit, did such neat
11-to-4 job on the Michiganders,
that it. was just too bad. The
Princeton pitchers name was
Jack Kell and the first thing he
did every inning was to get one
or two men on bases.
And then did he tighten up?
There must have been so men
on bases for Detroit curing the
afternoon, but only four of
them went past third. That lad
was a combination Of Art
Shires with his swagger and odd
facial expression, and Dutch
Reuther, Carl Mays and Rupe
Waddel all rolled up Ill one.
Princeton is playing in the
Eastern Semi-finalS at Manches-
ter, VT, this week, and if it wins
the title there, will play in the
junior world series at Houston,
Tex, next week.
But the morning after the
Richmond game, when we drhye
through the streets to the depot,
every kid from 5 to II was chew
ing something, licorice or to-
bacco, we're not sure which.

Even the adult manager, a
sort of a stoop-shoulder mail
carrier of the little mining
town of Princeton, Ind, seemed
below par physically.
But none of these is the
hero of the game of which we
would treat, nor the reason for
bringing up the incident at
this time. The hero of the
game and the yarn is a tow
headed STRIPPING who hurled
the game for the winning
Princeton team and who left
Richmond the following day
the hero of every man, woman
and child who saw the game,

HAIL 'LARN|N
WE[TER KING

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Any
doubt but that Jimmy McLarnin
is the uncroWned welterweight
champion of the world was
dispelled today by the ease with
which the versatile Vancouverite
disposed of Billy Petrolle, his erst-
while nemesis, in the third and
deciding chapter of their fistic
feud at Yankee Stadium last
night.
McLarnin, in outpointing the
Fargo Express by a wide margin,
demonstrated that he is the
cream of the 147-pound class and
that Petrolle's surprising victory
over him here last November was
a fluke.
Going into the ring a Z to 5
favOrite, the baby.faced one
rOmped through the 10 rounds
to a unanimous decision like
an Is to shot.
The bout was almost an exact
repetition Of their second meet
ing here, when the Irishman
kept the North Dakota veteran
at bay with his left hand and
speared his way to q crafty
triumph.
Although he won seven of the
10 rounds, McLarnin had to fall
back on his boxing skill to win
the bout. He tried to swap
punches with Petrolle during the
first five rounds without success.
Thereafter he resorted to defen-
sive tactics and won all of the
remaining rounds.

A Tow-Headed Boy

This tow-headed lad was the
"towest-headed" we have ever
seen. He was practically an AL
banian. You had to be light on
top of him to see his eyebrows
at n, and his hair WAS just the
color of his very pink scalp.
He was a lefthander, by the
way, and he had one crossed
eye, appearing to be looking at
third base when as a matter If
truth he was looking at the
catcher. His uniform was like
that of his fellows, but his cap
was a coco cola" souvenir and
he strutted back and forth to
the pitchers box from the dug
