every reason TO believe the st.

game-experience here Thursday
afternoon when they grimly battled
to a 90 tie.
The coaches were more interested
in trying out their young talent than
in attempting to win the contest.
Both coaches sent in a flood of sub
situations.

them optimistic for the coming seas

Macks Flash Their Power
To Beat Cards in Opener

ST. Louis Cardinals 6 to 2 yester-

In their might TO come from behind
and administer a typical Athletic
thrashing to a team keyed 10 the
point of desperation in its quest OF
victory. II was the old, old story Of
Athletic power, administered with
crushing effect, acknowledging the
enemy into broken subsection just
when hope was beginning to sprout
again.
Last fall the Athletics leaped up
on these same Cardinals in the
World Series. blasting them apart
at just exactly the psychological
moments, to win their second
straight world triumph for Connie
Mack. They entered the first game
OF the 1891 pageant a natural ia
vorite at 8 TO 5. And today, facing
the second and last game here
until three matches have been
played in Philadelphia next Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, they

} Vol have on a glove-When
you've worn it for hours.
How Many Buttons?
Fashionists have talked con-
fusingly about gloves of a diff
ferent length for every occasion
of the day-talked in button"
terms. "Sixteen-button length"
for evening wear, for instance,
as if it were all a big secret.
Well, just translate that word
button to inches, and you have
the length of a glove from that
point near the wrist where seam
ing on the thumb begins. And
from now on, fashion says we
can ask the salesgirls for four
or six-button lengths to wear
with any daytime costume-we
seem to be getting order out of
chaos at last!
The Two Darkest
And colors? They couldn't be
darker. What black won't go
with, brown whether to
match the costume itself or the
ether accessories. We do it in
solid colors, or if there's some
white in the ensemble-and
there we'll may belts possible
to carry that accent to the
extremities, too, by a thread of
contrast.
Can't Lose Them
To wear something just a
bit different is at least to be
sure in these days Of stand
ardization, of identifying your
own gloves at the Lost and
Found" desk. Those shown in
the first illustration have that
different feeling done in fabric
as nicely as we've ever seen it.
A little row of cartridge pleats
at the wrist, stitched alongside
just like the back of the hand
and the edge of that swerving
flared end. The result is a
bracelet effect that's becoming
and a staying-in-place that's
satisfying. Being individual al
ways costs a little more. We
saw this glove at $2.95.

And fashion keeps them prac-

some of us have liked huge,
flared cuffs. There's a limit to
the flare this season. It is
never so wide that it gets in the

loose enough to be adjustable
with any kind of sleeve. Best
of all, we've learned to take
comfort into consideration by
