THE SOCIAL HORIZON

In New York the Beaux Arts Ball of
"The New Englanders" is set for Fri
day evening, January u, with the
Renaissance Casino as the scene. The
annual mid-winter event always at
tracts large and fashionable follow
ing made up for the most part of
former residents of the New England
states who are now living in New York
and adjacent cities and towns. A twi-
light cocktail and musicale-largelv
attended.-at Augusta Savage's studio
last month was in the nature of fore
runner announcement of the forthcom-
ing ball. At least, everybody present
seemed to sense that the clubs climax
ing social occasion would soon be de-
finitely on the calendar. President
Howard Cooper's formal notice last
week of the January date has set mem
bers all a'futter with expectancy and
has accelerated completion of the orig
NAL plans. The committees are headed
by Mrs. Nell 0. Becker, Andrew vii
liams, Mrs. Bessie Embry and Arthur
Wright, assisted by Mrs. Bertha Cot
ton, William E. Lew, Mrs. Carrie Yates
Hamer and Ellsworth Reynolds. The
club has membership of about one
among whom are, to mention
a few besides the foregoing, are Mrs.
William Stanley Braithwaite. Mrs.
Bessie Trotter Craft, Mrs. Lew. Edna

Such enthusiasm! Such a dinner!
Such a group-photograph! Such gor-
geous plans! And such reluctance to
leave at the appointed closing hour of
$3.50 pm. Not even the most antiquar
ian member of the Harlem YMCA ever
remembers such a committee meeting.
Perhaps it was the fact that Mr..
Duncan is so universally popular.
Perhaps it is because there's music in
the air and the distant tingle of Kris
Kringle's sleighbells are beating on
the ear of time But why seek the
mere reason? The main issue is that
the New Years Recital and Reception
of 1910 in the auditorium of the Har-
lem ''Y" is fast approaching the day
when the fatal sign SRO (standing
room onlv) will perforce have to be
hung on the outer archway of the main
building. For, unfortunately, only
five hundred can be seated and the
Fire Insurance Commissioners have
ordered that 1910 be a year noted for
its obedience to the anti-crowding law
recently put into force by good Com
missioner Valentine. AS for details;
well, Just that the glamorous Louise
Gibson Morris of New England and
New York presided, most gorgeously
frocked in spotlight red and acces-
SORES of black; that Mrs. Bessie Bear
den was appointed chairman of the re-
reption to be held after the recital in
the Green Room; that Mrs. Barbara
Watson is to be named chairman of
the Debutante Aid Committee and Mr.
Workman will be chairman of
the committee of ushers. That's all I
there isn't anymore. January 1, 1910
at 8:15 pm. and there will be none
seated except before that time and
during the intermission.
P.S. Mr.. Duncan will AUTOGRAPH pro
grams only at the close of the Green
,oom reception. HappY New Year!

Nv 8. Z. MILTAN

Play TO decide F'lorida's fifth
district American Legion junior
baseball championship will begin
tomorrow afternoon, according
to advises and schedule released
by the committee in charge.
William Gates, manager of the
local junior team, has received
word that Miami plays Key West
tomorrow afternoon in this city.
Gates viii probably send Evelio
Vargas to the mound as the start
ing hurler when the game gets
underway 8 o'clock at Trumbo
Field. Vargas, in his last exhibit
ton contest against a strong local
picked team, held the opposition
hitless and runless until the ninth
inning when a bad decision at
first base and another on second
started his downfall. The next
batter singled over third base for
the first safety and first run.
Menendez will be called on to re-
ceive Vargas losses.
Fans are looking forward with
great enthusiasm to a local VIC
tory in its initial game and are
greatly depending on the coach
ing of Gates and George Watkins,
American Legion athletic officer
to send the Miamians back home
with a defeat.
''The boys are in great form
and are rearin' to go", stated the
Conchs' husky second sacker

he appreciated what the league
rofficers had done for him.
81 am grateful to the baseball
going public, as well as each and
every baseball commissioner
who made it their business to
get this trophy. To them. as well
as to Bob Schultz and $50 other
enthusiasts, thousand thanks.
Those were the words Acevedo
would have told the audience
Tuesday afternoon had his nerves
allowed him to do so.
Saturday, July %, win be a
travelling day for the Key West
Conchs, when Roy, Hamlin and
his bombarding artillery will
pack up and hit the highway for
Tampa. Key West viii play a
return three game series with the
Ybor City club in that city. Man
ager Fabian, who brought the
Tampa nine here during the July
Fourth celebration, before leav-
ing for the West Coast, made all
necessary arrangements with the
local club.
Morgado, pitching ace of the
Ybor City baseball team, was the
only Tampa hurler who held the
Conchs scoreless. Hamlin and
his crew failed to come across
the home plate safely in nine in
nings this fellow worked on the
mound in the series. Morgado
hurled seven innings in the
morning game Tuesday and two
in the afternoon contest.
Sam and Baby Sciontea, out
fielders for the Tampa team,
clicked in Key West. The field
ing of these two brothers brought
good hand from the fans. Sam
is the boy who must have ran
so feet beyond his position in
centerfield to bring down a bah
hit by Esmond Albury that was
easily sailing for a home run.
Willie Paz has got the makings
of good catcher. The Tampa
backstop has the ability, the arm
and. above all. the structure tall
and heavy-set.
Umpire Jimmie Griffin may
not be well liked in this city as
a strike and ball caller behind
the plate but the Tampa team as
| a whole had many good com
ments to make about jimmie be-
ing the most fair and impartial
umpire they have come across
all through the state.
Monroe County baseball league
will resume its schedule next
Sunday after a weeks rest. Blue
Sox and Conchs engaged in
out-of-town contests the past
week. Conchs will clash with
the Sox in the first game at
Trumbo Field this coming Sun
day and Pirates tangle with Tro-
JAMS in the nightcap.
The much improved Blue Sox,
with their million-dollar infield,
win give any team in the loop q
run for their money. Manager
] Frank Caraballo says Watch our
dust.
There win not be any more
peanut-throwing by grandstand
sitters. This statement was Civ
en- out by manager Roy HamlIn
who has received numerous com
plants from fans who have been
made targets BY those throwing
the little nuts. This means thai
peanut vendors win not be al,
lowed on the grounds in the fl.
lture.
