All Veterans Operated
On Shoestrino.

They had made their names and
their fortunes elsewhere and we're
not baseball men in the sense that
many OF their predecessors were.
The old-time baseball men came
right up from the field Baseball
was part of their lives almost since
they could remember. In many cases
AS in the case of Barrow, Griff
Mack and Quinn-they had either
played the game or managed teams.
They had known the sweat and strife
and struggle of action on the field.
They had seen great players come
up and, IN many cases, had helped
to develop them.
They had operated ball clubs on
the proverbial shoestring. worrying
and frettlng through years of debt
grabbing the gate receipts with one
hand and paying them out to banks
or ball players with the other.
They were, of course, businessmen.
But they were baseball men first.
They didn't always act like business
men when they got together at
league meetings where there was
business to be done.
Aneients Of Postime
Miss Old Fights.
These league meetings-now calm
and orderly-and colorless-once
were the scenes of almost unceasing
strife. There were old scores to be
settled and old grievances to be sat-
isf1ed-and old jealousies f1ared.
Charges were hurled and countered.
Somebody always was trying to have
somebody else thrown out of the
meeting-or out of the game itself.
They were robust and quarrel
some crew, but they knew baseball
and they made it. They laid solid
foundation for the great modern
game and when baseball was as
sailed they stood squarely together
and fought for it.
Barrow and Griff and Connie and
Quinn came through all that and
now, having melloWed and acquired
calm and dignity themselves, they
sit in conference with dignified busi-
nessmen from other fields. l Won
der if, sometimes when things are
little dull, they do not sigh for the
excitements of the years that have
gone?

In the northern part of Africa we
find the only species of genet whose
range also reaches into Spain, the
south Of France and Southeastern
Asia, as true civets are almost en-
tirely Oriental. The genet is one
of but two members of the civet
family and are to be found in Eu-
rope.
While We realize that the genets
are most closely related to the true
civets, 1t is not at all difficult to
recognize them because they are
much longer and their bodies far
more slender. They have much
shorter legs, too, and their toes
are equipped with claws that are
short and blunt. Another field
mark to notice at once is the hand
some, tapering tail. OF course. If
you really wish to go much deeper
in the matter of identification, you
will take special notice of the
hind foot of this animal. There is
narrow, naked surface which ex-
tends for some distance behind the
pads.
The genets do not possess a pouch
for containing a secretion that Is
basis for perfume, as is to be
found in the true civets.
All genets have beautiful, short,
soft fur, the ground-color being
brownish-yellow or gray. Down the
center of the back is a black line.
The sides are conspicuously marked
with brown or black blotches. Upon
the face and head are character
istic light and dark markings The
black rings decorating the tail vary
in number and dark markings. The
black rings decorating the tail vary
in number and width.
These small, handsome animals
are easily tanned Where they are
abundant, and once they have been
domesticated, they are used to keep
down the mice and rat tribe.

If it's something wee bit dress.
ier you are wanting, touch of gay
hand-embroidery will do just that.
See what can be done in the way of
intriguing embroidery in the sweat
er blouse below to the right. The
model pictured is knitted of rust red
wool and the embroidery is done
in riotous flower colors.
Coming to the dressier modes,
handsome laces of every type and
description make the news head
lines for blouse and jacket and bo-
lero fantasies in big way. It's
almost like magic the way bit of
lace transforms into a jacket or
blouse masterpiece and even if you
are not an expert in making things,
a charming jacket-blouse or bolero
as pictured can be put together with
little effort. A collection of lace
tops will array you glamorously
wherever you go.
A lace bolero does wonders in
dressing you up, and does it click
charmingly with last years frocks!
1t is never so welcome and useful
as at the tail-end of winter when
you are feeling a bit jaded with
dark dresses and feel the need of
something to perk them up. The
carickmacross lace bolero which
you see pictured above to the right
will sound a refreshing new note for
your wardrobe. Scalloped all around
the edges it silhouettes effectively
against the background of a black
dress in either street or evening
length.
A dress-up jacket-blouse to be
worn with skirt or suit lends allure
to your formal afternoon or eve
ming costume. You can get the fine
leaf-patterned lace that fashions the
jacket-blouse pictured below to the
left in ravishing colors or in black.
The glittering rhinestone buttons
complete the formal look.

trast tops leads the style program
This season. With the separate skirt
Or simple foundation dress and a
dock of flattering sweaters, jackets

paniment. 1t is easily possible to
carry on well-dressed appearance
with two skirts in ones wardrobe,
a wool or crepe for routine wear
plus a velvet or handsome crepe or
slipper satin weave for more for
NAL wear. However, you can go as
far as you like in laying in supply
of skirts and then not have too many

plaid, a pleated-all-round type, a
smartly fashioned crepe or satin for

crepe for evening formality. are
none too many.
OF course, with your tWeeds and
your plaids you will want swank
utilitarian sweater. The model pic
tured to the left in the group is cas-
lily knit. You will love it because it
is so unusual. 1t has style distinc-
ton written all over it in that it is
knit in a different way, using two
patternings that contrast vertical
and horizontal handling. A soft
wool yarn in a delectable deep raSp-
berry pink is used for the knitting
of this clever sweater.
