UNTRIMMED COAT
FUR CAPE
Speaking of capes, we noted
some untrimmed dress coats with
their own separate fur coats, the
1912 version of the fur jacket
coat. Elbow-length, these sepa-
rate capes have double fashion
value besides being tremendous
ly smart. You can wear the cape
over your suits, your wool dress
es, your costume ensembles and
worn over its own coat, it's
really the smartest thing this
Fall. Silver fox is of paramount
Importance because it is one of
the most luxurious and most
face-flattering of all furs. Thick
ly silvered, long haired it fol-
lows perfectly the trend for ele-
gance. Particularly new look
ing are the bolero effect silver
fox collars waist-deep collars.
border hemlines, front plastrons,
ripple shoulder collars. The
double and triple bump collars
rounded at the back are the
most popular in silver fox lynx
dyes in and in skunk. Stream
lined Fox makes fashion news
for Fall! Also called Beaver
Fox" basically it is white fox
with a beaver dye shading to q
white edge. This is used on smart
fleece and plaid casual coats
as well as tweeds coats. Lynx
dyed fox continues in importance,
and Blue Fox is revived strongly
to complement the nutria browns
and all the new grayed blues
in coats.
Never before have fur trims
been manipulated SO softly and
for this new we bow to our
talented American designers,
who have really won their lau-
rels this season. For instance
there is the soft shirtcollar done
in fur, the high tunnel or cleric
collar, the softly looped collar,
the bow-tie fur collar. Even
sports type furs are handled
more softly and the wide rever
collars of racoon or skunk or
other long haired furs are done
in rippled effect. Fur vestees
show deep tucks for drape, tux
edos are shirred, bolster stand
up collars are rippled. Then
there is the shoulder epaulet eff
feet in fur, in shield design in
shirred plastrons. Newest, most
dramatic handing of fur is noted
in the capelet-plastron collar, the
latter having a rounded cape eff
feet fur collar ending in panel
front. The peplum plastrons,
adapted from the popular pep
lum silhouette in dresses, IL
tremendously chic, sophisticated
and very igure-flattering be-
cause it subtracts inches from
your waistline, gives you long,
slim figure lines.

Revived MILDLY Styles

IF YOU'RE PLANNING to
make q whole collection of the
newly revived MILDLY blouses for
campus wear, you can achieve
unusual braid effects with your
own sewing machine II you use
the modern sewing attachments.
Use the blind-stitch attachment
to apply the braid. Try covering
the entire square sailor collar
with rows of shoe-string braid,
stitched about one inch apart.
Remember to square each row
at the back with inferred cor
ners. Navy rating emblems add
an authentic fashion touch on
MILDLY blouses. You can appli-
que your own embroidered stars
on the collar In bright colors
with the aid Of the little xiszag-
ger attachment. If you have
never done work Of this kind
on your machine, your local
sewing center can instruct you.

same rating applies to Joe DiMag-
gio as hitter and Outfielder.
Without attempting to rate the val
ue of Ty and Babe against Bob and
Joe, there is one department at least
where the old-timer can expand his
chest and prove his point. This is
the matter of color.
Cobb and Ruth packed an en-
larged amount of personality in
their playing systems. They had
flame, flare, dash. They caught and
held the fancy of the crowd.
Feller and DiMaggio are both on
the quiet, unobtrusive side who like
life better away from the mob. Both
are friendly, serious young men who
make their entire contribution as a
star pitcher and star Outfielder.
They make no claim or pretensiOns
to any form of sO-called "color."
Cobb and Ruth have always been
exactly the opposite. They were
actors as well as ball players. Both
were on the exciting side. And a
big part of their crowd appeal had
no particular connection with me-
chanical skill. They had plenty of
that
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1941-07-17

ment with respect to this.
But the modern game is more
dramatic. In the old days three
or four-run lead was usually deci-
sive. Today it may mean little, and
the crowd knows it. Both infielders
and outfielders, especially infielders,
have to work at a far faster clip
to handle whistling drives that come
their way. The home run is still the
main crowd thrill.
I must disagree with Ty on an
other point. On his all-time all-star
team the pitchers he names are
Walsh, Alexander, Mathewson, John
son, Plank and Teller.
What about a pretty fair pitcher
by the name Of Denton Tecumseh
(Cy) Young, the Paoli Phenom?
All Cy did waJ to win 512 ball
games in two major leagues. This
winning count totals more games
than the great majority of pitchers
ever pitch. They talk about pitch

20 years.

ing in both leagues. He came up
from Paoli, Ohio, in 1890 with hay
in his hair.
Cy, huge hulk of a fellow, had
speed, control, fine head and a
stout heart. And you can empha-
size control and smartness. Cy
worked from 1890 through 1911 and
when he had finished he had passed

ran across Cy a short while
back. He gave me then one of the
secrets of his success.
"HOw did I ever win 512 games?"
he said. "Here's one reason. 1 had
four different pitching motions that
made look alike. Also, 1 think
that l was the first pitcher to cover
up the pitching motion completely.
I'd practically turn my back to the
batter and the ball would be on him
before he was Set" he explained.

Sam Crawford, pull hitter, any
ball he could pull. Not a chance.
That's big part of pitching to
know a hitter's style and to have
enough control to put the ball where
you want it to go. There are too
many pitchers today who haven't
any idea what batter's weakness
is. Nor do they have the control to
match this weakness when they do
know-and that's almost as bad as
not knowing
