Pitchers Need Break.

-" IF PITCHERS were allowed to throw
spitters again they would be better
equipped to stand up before the hit
ters. The ball is livelier this year
than last and the hitters have a dis
tlnct advantage. Why not give the
pitchers the extra ammunition the
return Of the spit ball delivery would
provide?"
Big league club owners in 1919 ruled
out all freak deliveries, including the
splitter. They modified that regulation
to the extent that spitball pitchers
then in the majors were permitted
TO continue its use as long as they
were in the big leagues. There were
about IS spitballers at that time.
Grimes was the last to go.

Batting Practice Pitcher Leaves.


nNE familiar face is missing from
the Washington squad Harold
Conn, the husky Biloxi batting prac-
tice pitcher, ended a four-year term
with the Griffs yesterday when he
accepted the managerial job on the
Orlando Club of the Florida State
League
Conn did not report his move until
few minutes before the Mats en-
trained from Washington, and the
burden of batting practice pitching
will fall upon Messrs. Ed Linke, Syi
Cohen and Joe Cascarella.
Conn is the boy who, in four years,
has pitched every day and never failed
TO get the ball across the plate. So
good was his control that Hal was
carried on all trips so that the hitter
could make full use of the 20 minutes
allotted to them for batting practice.

Paris Exposition Opened
by President Lebrun

wv ITH considerable ceremony
wv the Paris exposition of 1887
was opened to the public, more than
three weeks late because of labor
troubles. President Albert Lebrun
led long procession of government
members, diplomats of all nations
and distinguished guests on a tour
of the grounds, which lie along the
Seine, a mile wide and two miles
long.
The fair was said to be about 80
per cent complete on the opening
day, but many of the buildings were
still in process of erection. These
included the pavilions of the United
States and Great Britain. France
expects many hundreds of thou
sands of visitors during the sum-
mer, and those fortunate enough to
go there will see a wonderful dis
play of the science, industries and
art of nearly all nations.

VINO, starving WIN
$3.50 a week job, fought his way to
the very top of the financial world,
created the vast Standard Oil trust
and built up one of the biggest pri-
vate fortunes ever recorded. At the
age of twenty-six he was beginning
to be prominent in the then young
petroleum industry, and in 1870 was
formed the Standard Oil company
which, by methods that were con-
sidered ruthless, gained control of
three-fourths of the country's oil
output. For 40 years Rockefeller
and his associates were bitterly at
tackled through the courts and in
every other way possible, and f.
nally, in 1902, the Standard Oil trust
was ordered by the Supreme court
dissolved into its component parts.
But it's business went on and the
Rockefeller millions continued to in
crease until the family fortune was
estimated at about two and a half
billions. At the height of his ca
reer John DIS income was between
so ard 80 million dollars.
Disturbed by ill health, John D.
retired from active business in 1911.
Some time before that he had
switched from accommodating wealth
to giving it away. The giving was
done Systematically, and represent
atives of the family interests esti-
mate that his own benefactions be-
tween the yearsA18 1885 and 1884, both
inclusive, totaled $3.50, 1853, 632. At the
top of the long list of gifts are the
Rockefeller Foundation, which re-
ceived $182, 1851, 480, and the Gen
eral Education board, which was
given $129, 209,1 For years the
University of Chicago was pet of
his, and he gave it in all $78, 448, 407.
Numerous educational and religious
institutions and organizations were
given large sums, and in times of
great disasters Mr.. Rockefeller do
mated generously to the relief funds.
Mr.. Rockefeller's body was taken
from Ormond Beach to his estate
at Pocantico Hills, Tarrytown, N.
Y, and there the funeral rites were
conducted by DR.. Harry Emerson
Fosdick of New York city. Next
day the oil king was laid to rest in
Lake View cemetery, Cleveland, be-
side his wife who died % years ago.
Only two of Mr.. Rockefeller's chill

There are eight grandsons and five

American origin, for the latter rank
high in style prestige this season.
Do these foreign-looking Ameri-
can-made prints make up effectively
in dance frocks? Find the answer in
the charming dress pictured to the
right in the illustration. This sleeve
less evening gown with graceful
skirt and with halter-type bodice
is made of one of the new Hun
garian cotton prints which repro
duce old-world textiles. The colors
are rich and glowing and there is
a gypsy flavor about them and the
beads and the bracelets worn are
in definite keeping with the trend
in the summer mode. Needless to
say that the colors of the print are
fast to both sun and washing.
Take the thought of the perfectly
gorgeous new cotton prints and the
thought of the stunning new house
coats, such as are proving the big
sensation in fashion realms, put the
two together and the duo-theme is
enough to tempt any home-sewing
woman into action. Which is exactly
what is happening.
She who loves to go nautical will
enjoy making up the beach coat
to the left in the picture, which may
be smartly used later on as an
evening coat or as a house coat.
The material, patterned with an
chors and other seafaring themes,
being properly pre-shrunk will not
lose it's perfect lines or fit from
laundering, neither will the colors
lose out in Tubing.
A cool competent play outfit of
colorful early American print
centers the trio. Being dependably
pre-shrunk it is able to take its
tubbings cheerfully without tendency
to lose shape. The shirt and shorts
are in one. The skirt whisks on and

Speculation as to Justice Van De-
vanter's successor began at once
and it was generally agreed that
Joseph Robinson, Democratic lead
er of the senate, had the best chance
for the appointment. It was be-
lieved he had been promised the
place at the first opportunity some
time ago, and his many friends in
both parties were quick to ex-
tend their best wishes. OF course
there was talk of his ineligibility be-
cause of the recently enacted statute
permitting Supreme court justices to
retire on full pay for life. The Con-
stitution provides that mo senator
or representative shall, during the
time for which he was elected, be
appointed to any civil office under
the authority of the United States
which shall have been created or
the emoluments whereof shall have
been increased during such time"
But several authorities declared this
would not apply in the present case.
President Roosevelt was reported
to be DESTROYS of being relieved from
his promise to name Robinson, who
is sixty-five years old and also in
reality a conservative. But the SEN
ator's Democratic friends in con-
gress were said to have let it be
known that if he were not given
the place they certainly would de-
feat the Presidents court enlarge
ment bill. ..

SEPARATE BOLERO
in LACE is SMART
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

One of the many reasons for the
great popularity of the becoming
bolero is its ability to dress up a
costume, or to vary it for you. You
have only to slip one on over a SIM
pie crepe dress to achieve the eff
feet that is especially attractive
this year. Boleros are particularly
prominent in starched cotton lace,
in pastel shades and white. Several
of these, in different colors, will en-
able you to get different effects with
a single frock.
The simple, brief bolero would
probably be most practical, for the
lace pattern gives a dressy effect
in itself, and the tailored pattern
of the bolero makes it adaptable
to all types of costumes. One very
attractive design has short puff
sleeves, and wide revers, with the
short jacket slightly f1ared. If you
can sew at all, it is the easiest thing
to make, of little more than a yard
of lace. Such a bolero shows off
to best advantage over dress that
is fairly simple, whether it be an
afternoon frock, or a gown for eve
ming.

.OH, OH, OH! Did you ever see
~ anything in the way of fabric
so dazzling to the eye, so daringly
designful, so altogether fascinating
as the new cotton weaves that are
dancing so madly, so merrily, so
fashionably into the current style
picture?
How perfectly they tune into the
costume needs of carefree summer
time activities! 1t is no wild state
ment to say that an entire wardrobe
can be successfully fashioned of cot
ton materials that will carry smart
ly through active sports and morn
ing dress hours, that will answer
to the call for vogl,ish afternoon
costumes, climaxing the around-the-
clock program with evening formals
that are just too lovely for words.
Cottons for formal wear? Yes, in
deed! The next time you 60 to a
dance or nighttime society event,
count for your own satisfaction, the
dresses fashioned of one type of
cotton or another. You will see CLAM
orous printed piques, the fattering
and filrny cotton voiles so in de-
mand at the present moment, dotted
swisses, shadow printed organdies,
superf1ne seersucker sheers and 9TH
er enhancing cotton weaves too nu-
merous to mention.
Perhaps after all has been said
and done it is the amazing cotton
prints that are of outstanding style
significance. For excitement at high
pitch, watch the procession of ex-
otics in cotton that are that autken-
tically oriental ana superbly color

hailed direct from ports in far Per-
STA, or East India, perhaps Java or

delivered them on his sixty-seventh
birthday. Administration leaders
declared they completely justified
the Presidents broad Interpretation
of the general welfare clause of the
Constitution and his policy of ex-

"It is too late today for the argu-
ment to be heard with tolerance
that in crisis so extreme the use
of moneys of the nation to relieve
the unemployed and their depend

Sat times taxpayers have con-
tended that the congress is without
power to lay an excise on the en-

state law. The contention has been
put aside as baseless.

benefits created by them is not in
contravention to the limitations of
the tenth amendment, and: "Nor is
the concept of the general welfare

smaller dots scattered around them,

gag polka dot arrangements, irregu-
