one team. At the present the
Yankees are on top with a two and
one record, followed by the Cubs
with two and two and the Tigers
with two and three in the win-loss
column.
The batting trophies that will go
to the player with the best aver
age at the end of the regular play
ing schedule in each league and
that stand about eight inches tall,
have drawn the eye of the players.
But in the senior circuit it looks
to be a race between Dick Brown
who, with two more games to play,
is swinging away with a .555 aver
age, while Dennis Johnson, who has
been leading from the start of the
season and has but one game to
play, dropped 100 points last week
to an even 500. Although several
players in the junior circuit can
overtake Jim Cantrell of the Cubs
he is nicely out in front with 10
for II and a neat 1893, while his
closest rival, Maynard Kasner, al
so of the Cubs, is batting 600.
Individual medals go to the men,

Last Inning Rallies

Games OF Week

With the teams going into the
home stretch in league play and
fighting for the first place bye in
the playoffs, many games have been
undecided until the last out.
With only three games to be
played, two by the Cardinals and
M each by the Dodgers and In
dams, the race is in a first place
tie by the latter two clubs, with
the destiny of the league resting
with the Cardinals. A double win
by Dick Browns Cardinals would
give all three teams in the senior
circuit four wins and four losses,
necessitating another round of play
to determine the bye. However,
since the Dodgers and Indians each
have four wins and three losses,
a single win by either would send
the league race their way.
In the Junior league seven games
remain to be played and the out
come is still wide open for any

Indians Win In
Extra Inning

Dick Brown lost the toughst game
of the year when the Indians forced
the game into an extra inning after
two were out in the fifth. With
two out, a two-run lead and a no
hit-no-run game working, Brown
faced Ken Whittier of the Indians.
Ahead of the batter 2-and-0 Whittier
batted the next pitch yer the cen
ter fielder's head, with n mate
aboard for a home run that tied
up the game. In the extra inning
the Indians scored five more runs,
including another homer by Whit
Ter, to win 7 to 8.

Large Roofing Section
Cheer AT Girls
SOftball Games

The girls softball play got under
wav last week under the direction
of Mrs. McGarry, with two games.
The fairer sex proved to be a draw
ing card, with good-sized roofing
sections on hand for the games. All
teams saw action once, with the
Sluggers coming out on top of two
ame In the initial contest the
Rustlers put on a last-inning rally
for four runs, but couldn't over
come the five-run lead built up by
the Sluggers in the earlier frames.
La Donna Henry hit the only extra
base hit, a double in the fourth,
driving in 2 runs. Betty Brese was
the winning pitcher, allowing nine
hits while Virginia Harlan per-
mitted seven hits in losing.
Thursdays game proved to be a
wild one, with the Sockets going
down to the Sluggers % to II. Once
again Betty Brese was the winning
hurler in spite of the IS hits al
lowed and the five errors the team
made. Vivian Frank permitted 16
hits but the II error made by
her team were too costly. LaDon-
ma Henry showed power at the
bat again, this time with a home
in the second as part of a big
that saw Is runs score.
This week the Sockets and
Rustlers meet in the first game and
the Sluggers and Rustlers play the
second.

The game was a pitchers dual all

the Indians whitfield seven, walked
four and allowed four hits.
INDIANS Z, DODGERS 6
The Indians revenged their one
run defeat, handed them earlier by
the Dodgers, by edging the latter
z to 6 in the final game of the
week to go into a first place tie
with that same club. The game
went scoreless for two innings. Then
the Dodgers hit a double and two
home runs, scoring five runs that
looked good for the win. But the
Indians pecked away with two in
the same inning and four more in
the fourth to take a one-run lead.
The Dodgers evened the count in
the top of the fifth, but fell in
the last of the fifth when Leo
Yeager tied into pitcher Jack Heeb-
ner's second pitch for a home run.
TIGERS WIN ONE, DROP ONE
The junior circuit saw action
twice last week, with the Yankees
taking the Tigers 8 to 7 and the
Tigers downing the Cubs 16 to 6.
The Yankees were only able to hit
Jim Adams four times, but made
the most of them to bring in four
runs in both the third and fourth
innings. The Tigers hit safely eight
but managed only seven runs
with four in the second and one
each in the third, fourth and fifth
innings.
The Tigers came back in the
second game to chalk up the most
one-sided victory of the year, by
whipping the Cubs 16 to 6. Their
big inning came in the fifth when
they scored six times to stretch a
&c to 6 count out of the reach of
the Cubs. The Cubs loaded the
bases in the last inning, but could
MT score.

Woman,s World
Accessory Guide Is Valuable
In Planning Spring Wardrobe
by G'lta Haley

M ANY women tell they don't
A'A know just how to select their
accessories for a costume; others
say they are not familiar enough
with the trend to look for something
fresh and new.
For this reason, I've compiled a
picture of accessories for spring.
When you need something, check
the list and you'll easily find what's
best to seek.
You'll find that this year, fashion
needs the finishing touch and moth
ing completes the ensemble more
than feminine effects at the wrist,
throat, soft shoulder and slim waist
line.
If your budget is limited because
you spent heavily last fall and win
ter to achieve the new look, you
will do well to make your basic
dresses new again by buying proper
accessories.
It's a four star year for collars,
cuffs. capclets and cummerbunds,
worn separately or teamed together
with each other and with blousettes,
dickeys, plastrons, fichus and ia
bots. And please don't forget the
lingerie and eyelet petticoat ruffles
that peep out of hemlines. Every
thing is headed toward the en-
semble look in fashions, and scarfs
score highly, too.
Why not dress up a black or navy
dress with soft tlattering capelet?

Collars and Cuffs
Are Flattering

It's an old trick to dress up dark
basic dress with spanking white COL
lars and cuffs. Indeed, why not have
several sets so you can change the
dress several times a week?
There are many flattering sets on
the market, but, of course, you al
ways can sew them yourself. Pat
terms are easy to make, but they
should fit the neckline of the dress.
This year collars and cuffs are
especially stunning, showing them

How will you have your bOlerO
GETAWAY, much decorated with
the newly important cOrselet
belt? The answer depends en-
tirely upon what's most fattering
to the individual figure. At any
rate, the lines on small jackets
are as varied as they are interest
ing and all are so youthful and
pretty!

Citrus Steaks on Order

Some day filets of lemon and
orange steaks may be featured on
dinner menus.
Lee X. Stone. research chemist
in Miami, Fla. has been working
with orange and lemon seeds.
Next step. according to Stone, is
perfecting a citrus seed meat substi-
tute. 1t is still in the experimental
stage, but Stone revealed that he
already has progressed to the point
where the seeds smell like fresh
baked bread"
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-05-28

With so many from which to
choose, select only those flattering
to the face as well as the dress.
Keep them neatly laundered or
cleaned to get the full and beautiful
effect.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-05-28

One recently seen was of bright
plaid with pointed little collar as
well as gayly printed chintz long
capelet with high rolled collar, self
bow and steamers.

Cummerbunds Help
White Waistline

For the whitfield waist effect
which is so popular, choose cum
merbunds shown wrapped in scarf
effects. If they're bright and you
have slender waist, wrap a pair
around the waist and tie in bow.
You also may have a GUNNER
bund and then match it with a col
lar and cuff set.
Plastrons, fichus and jabots are
excellent for cover-up jobs, creating
a look of newness and fashion. With
so many prints scheduled for the
coming season, you'll find that a
soft printed rayon plastron COM
pletely transforms the front of a
dress, giving it high collar effect
and new hip emphasis.
The fichu, an ultra feminine eff

NeckWear and ScarfS
Are Handy, Interesting

Neckwear, which is so popular for
adding new look, has many inter-
esting features. Many items have
tuck-ins so that you don't have to
sew them, or they may have snaps
for adding and subtracting features.
Blousettes come with several differ

matching cuffs and an extra long

can be achieved

Shoes for Spring
Completely Different

According to St. Louis stylists, a
virtual revolution for shoe ward
robes is predicted. The new look
is travelling down and shoes will be
as different as dresses.
If you are wondering what you
should wear in the Easter parade,
look over these features when you
choose footwear.
Shoes will be predominantly dain-
ty, elegant and feminine. Long,
slender lines, graceful heels, in
tricate but dignified ornamentation
are the important features.
Since the hemline has dropped,
attention naturally is focused foot
ward. Stylists are sweeping foot
wear up, often around the ankle as
if to meet the dress itself. Shoes
must have the new, long, graceful
effect.
Closed toes and heels are better
than open ones. Choose a simple I'M
adorned pump if you're in doubt,
and you will be correctly attired.
Toelines no longer are stubby,
they're rather more slender and
tapering.
If your ankles are slender, wear
the strap effects, but steer away
from them if you lack the trimness.
If you need to slenderize, match the
shoes with dress and hosiery to
carry out the needed elongation.

higher labor costs, further taxa tion would bring the industry to a standstill. They showed how the price of wheat, corn, iron and other metals had advanced in price many times since the gold stand ard was set and how prospecting cannot be encouraged unless there IS the hope of earning a living from gold mining. They urged the Board to demand that the price of gold be raised as a means of de- veloping the Second Division, which is dependent on mining.
