Now. as there are courses in Sales

New Sweaters Are Attractive
BY MARY MARSHALL.

taste that there is no danger of its be-
ing run into the ground by too great
popularity. We have In mind, OF course,
the new crocheted linen sweaters. They
are either made by hand or made by
machine to initiate handwork You'll
find them in the natural linen shade, in
color or white.
One of the incest things about these
new sweaters is that they may be
washed with perfect results. They have
a sports look and are appropriate for
actual sports wear, but they are de-
cidedly feminine. You may wear one
with a tweed skirt or if you like with
your new Spring suit. Following the
new blouse fashions they are made quite
trim at the waiStline and extend just a
few inches below the waistline SO that
you may wear them over the skirt or
tucked in. Sleeves as usual thing are
shorter than elbow length and are made
with slight puff at the top with a
ribbed band to hold them close a few
inches above the elbow.
You'll be surprised to see how becom-
ing these new sweaters turn out to be,
and because they can be kept perfectly
clean just by careful washing they will
be much more practical than the fine
wool sweaters of last season which were
only too likely to shrink after the first
cleansing.

What Is a Superstition ?

In this column I have frequently re-
ferred to superstitions. But find that
very few persons are able to give
workable definition of a superstition
The best way to define anything is
to describe it by comparing ii with some
similar thing. Then reduce this descrip-
ton to a few words. If your brief de-
ecriptiop his omitted none Of the es-
sentials, you nave what passes for def
milton. Any dictionary Is compilation
Of brief descriptions.
Suppose you begin by comparing
reasoned belief with superstition.
Your reasonec-out beliefs are always
based on some natural law If a stone
is tossed into the air it will fall-some-
where. The natural law of gravitation
is the foundation for the belief that
any heavier than air body will be sure
to fall. This is a valid belief because
it squares the experience of all men in
terms OF what is called gravitation.
A superstition is also a belief. But it
IS belief that is founded on some ac-

M turing the fanfare and pa

spective upturn in the big business
of American sport.
AS the traditional backbone Of the

carefully treated for weak spots and in
jected with new blood for q campaign
that will put It's vitality and stability
to severe test.
The prospects, meanwhile, are for an
auspicious as we'll as gala getaway. The
Nations Chief Executive, Herbert Hoo
yer. will make the first official gesture
by throwing out the ball for the prelude,
to be played by Boston and Washing
ton clubs at the Capital on Monday

echo all along the major league fronts
on Tuesday, when all 16 clubs swing into
action to the accompaniment of pa

All told upward of 250,000 fans are
expected to witness the nine opening
games listed for the two days. This
would compare favorably with the rec
ord turnout of 249 1000 for the eight
inaugural contests Of 1881.
The largest of Tuesdays crowds
40, ,000-is expected to jam Brooklyn's
enlarged park for the jolly Dodgers
coming-out party against the Boston
Braves. More than 10000 likely will see
the New York Yankees fire their first
challenge at the Athletics in Philadel-
phia, while as many more watch the

make their first home stand against the
Pittsburgh Pirates.

THE Nationals pennant
prospects were Just
about as gloomy as the
weather prevailing when
this piece was typed yesterday,
but in the opinion of this COL
umn they still can win; they
have as good a chance for Sec
ond place as the Yankees and
they practically are a cinch to
finish no worse than third.
Philadelphia has been our
choice all along to repeat and
set an American League record
by coping four titles in a row
and nothing has developed
during the exhibition schedule
to alter that view.
Only Cochrane of their Big
Six" seems likely to fall off ap-
preciably in effectiveness. but
Grove, Earnshaw, Walberg,
Simmons and Foxx still are
standouts, and while the ma
chine as whole may sag
bit, as long-reigning monarchs
are prone to, it could slip so
points and still top an i'm
proved contender coming up,
judged by their 1881 margin of
superiority.
incidentally, it should not be
overlooked that in Pitcher Joe
Bowman, First Baseman Oscar

made promising additions to a

BY WILL HARRIDGE,
President American League.

~HICAGO, April R.-The
American League should
have the tightest race this
year since 1926, when the
Yankees beat out the Cleveland In
dams by two games.
Tradition points to a new cham
pion, as no team has been able to
win the American League flag four
straight years, a goal which Connie
Mack has set for his strengthened
Philadelphia Athletics. However, you
can be assured that the AS will be
a hard team to beat, tradition or no
tradition.
Connie Mack, who I feel sure is
sincere in saying the AS have two or
three clubs to worry about this year,
has strengthened his reserves con-
siderably. The Yankees, picked as
the most dangerous team in the race,
have improved both pitching and de-
fense, while Washington has added
power to its attack Cleveland, weak
in fielding and pitching in 1881, ap-
pears to have strengthened both
these departments.
st. Louis will start with virtually
the same team that finished last
season. but the management is con-
fident of finishing as high or higher
than year ago. The Chicago White
Sox and Boston Red Sox have shown
more improvement, possibly, than
any other teams in the league with
the exception of New York. Despite
a rather unsatisfactory training trip,
Detroit has made great efforts to
strengthen its team and looks
stronger.
We should have a good season and
a good race, and, I hope, the next
world champion.
