he developed a team that had
a 1915 season and a first division
berth at seasons end. He made
a preseason prediction that his

capabilities, would win half their
games and, they did, with

Pink Shirt Is Not Only
Trend Setter for Men

NEW YORK, AUG. 7 (NANA)
TO refute the belief that
mems fashions were dormant
in the pre- pink shirt age
(circa 1903 to 1859 Ephraem
Witty, president of Witty
Brothers clothing stores, has
listed 10 important style re-
visions that came about before
the renaissance"
This fashion pace was hardly
fast enough to outmode a blue
serge suit before its shine
reached top brilliance, but
Witty's list Of changes does
serve to clear his predecessors
of charges that there was
nothing new in mems wear
until pink shirts and charcoal
suits arrived.
The appearance of the dap
per clothing executive testifies
that he practices as we'll as
breaches masculine fashion
awareness. For example, he
plays up his silver hair with a
slate-gray suit. silver tie and
huge silver cuff links. He has
been known to deny one of his
two sons an evening out be-
cause the teen-aged Witty
started off to meet his high
school pals wearing blue jeans
and a T-shirt. Witty firmly be-
lieves proper clothes make a
man of a flighty boy.
The Witty big 10 list, more in
order of Importance than
chronologically, begins with
the gradual change from
heavyweight to lightweight
suits. 1t goes on to include the
cut of the suit, softer shirt
styles, ties made for the sea-
son, soft hats that have re-
placed hard derbies and straw
swimmers. socks with built-in
garters, zippers instead of but
tons. the switch from high
buttoned shoes to oxfords and
loafers. belts instead of sus-
penders and. finally. elimina-
ton of the vest.
THE construction of a suit
has been lightened through the
use Of interlinings blended
from hair, wool and cotton in
place of the old heavy canvas
types once used to provide

comfortable and fiattering pos
sible."
AS for mems shirts, he told
of the emergence of the low,
soft collar in preference to the
high. hard collar. and noted
that soft shirt fronts had al
most completely replaced stiff
ones for dinner wear. Men also
have been freed from wearing
the same fabric and shape in
ties from season to season.
They can now have wrinkle
shed cotton or lightweight silk
for summer. and tissue woolens
for winter.
Witty sums up the entire
trend over the last so years
thus: "All changes have been
geared to more comfort"
