WASHINGTON’S LATEST BASEBALL IDOL. -—wmwwww—mpcwww— ■ i r i n i ■mrrr'j-'~T-™T-7vnnri ——m——wm~ "Smiling” Joe Boehling. Manager Clarke.Griffith's latest pitcher acquisition, Joe Boehling, is the latest idol of the Washington baseball fans. He recently established a rec ord for himself by winning eleven straight games. He is popularly known as “Jop Bowleg" and is one of the youngest pitchers in the major leagues. In 1911 he was secured from an amateur team in Richmond. Va., and after a tryout was sent to the Southern league. This year he came back and has made good. He is only twenty years old. BIG CLUBS WANT KING COLE Pitcher, Who Virtually Won Pennant for Chicago Cubs, Has Regained Old-Time Form. Three years ago Leonard Cole was ,the most prominent pitcher in the Na tional league. Three years ago he vir tually won the pennant for the Cubs, working in 33 games and getting an average of .833, which gave him the leadership in the league. He fell. His brilliancy faded. He was sent from Chicago to Pittsburg. Fred Clarke believed he still had the winning stuff in him. Fred was wrong. He released him to Columbus. That was last year. Now see what happened. McQuil lan of the Columbus club was the star of the A. A. until a short time ago. He was grabbed by Pittsburg. tip bobbed "King" Cole. He took McQuillan's place. He filled it so sat Pitcher King Cole. isfactorily, in fact, that about a dozen major league clubs now would like to grab him. He pitched 58 innings in 17 days and allowed a trifle over an average of two runs per game in six contests. He won five of the six, one of which was a 17 inning alTair. Since his no-hit performance at Mil waukee a short time ago there has been a vast change for the better in his work. Fans Stick to Tinker. Joe Tinker stands ready to throw up the job of managing the Reds at any time Garry Herrmann wishes. It is said, however, that despite the poor showing of the Cincinnatis the local fans are sticking to Tinker loyally. They believe Tinker is fighting his head off to win, is making very few mistakes and is hampered by inferior support and a lack of the right win ning spirit in some of the players. The home rooters recognize the fact that Manager Tinker cannot be blamed for the poor showing of the club. The Red leader is having a hard row to hoe. but he is keeping up his courage and may get there in time. To Try Chinese Pitcher. Report has it that Robinson, one of the pitchers of the Chinese base ball team which has the longest string of victories to its credit of any club invading this country, will be given a trial by a Pacific Coast League club, presumably Los Angeles. Robinson is part Chinese, but he is the Hono lulu club’s star pitcher, with curves, speed and control. Few Rapid Switches. Bobby Coulson has had some rapid switches this season. Starting the year with Brooklyn, he was sent to Kansas City, and from that club to the Portland Coast leaguers, from there to Portland of the Northwestern league, and now he has been sold to Spokane It would be no surprise to see Coulson get another change with in a few days. —-:_ Entitled to Fame. The fact that Walter Johnson has £hut out the Athletics twice this sea son is sufficient reason for fame be ing thiust upon him even if he had not proven nimself to be one of the world s greatest pitchers. It takes “some" pitcher to do that to the Mackmen. .-ar. .vw-., FANS TO SEE WAGNER’S MITT Relics of Great Player of Pittsburgh Wanted for Carnegie Museum on His Retirement. Baseball is at last recognized ae something worth telling posterity about. In fact, it is going to be pre served in concrete form for the bene fit of unborn eyes to gaze upon. That is, if Honus Wagner, the high flying Dutchman of the Pirates, will consent to his part of the deal, name ly, the tendering of his palmless glove and his uniform to the Carnegie mu seum when he retires from the dia mond. Dr. W. J. Holland, director of the museum, announced the other day that it was the desire of the institution to secure from Honus his baseball accou trements when he has at last retired from the game, the same to be placed among the relics of other distin guished and skillful men who have gone before. Doctor Holland said that the achieve ments of all great and skillful men and the games in which they were skilled were handed down to posterity from the past ages, and there was no reason why Wagner should not be so honored MOM!

The remarkable success that Clarke Griffith has had with the Washington team this season has set all the ex perts to doping out the reason there for and they are telling that it is be cause the “Old Gray Fox” understands pitchers and knows just when to use them and relieve them; or that it is that he knows baseball and has a fac ulty of imparting that knowledge; or that he has the spirit that inspires young players. And a few other rea sons. However, GrifT can’t be pre sumed to have gained all these talents since the first of April; he must have had them last year—and he couldn't win at Cincinnati. Therefore, if we are permitted, it is suggested that there are two psychological elements in his success with Washington, says the Sporting News. One is that Grif fith is back in the company he enjoys and the other is the difference in spirit between Washington and Cincin nati. In Redland they demand and promise themselves a pennant each spring. When the demand is not met and the promise flattens out they “grump." In Washington they take the other course. They never promise themselves much there and It is a happy condition which has no reaction Aside from these elements Griffith also has a real ball team, which counts for something in itself. ERROR MADE BY CLEVELAND Bill Bernhard and Not Lajoie Should Have Been Appointed Manager of Team in 1905. "Had William Bernhard been ap pointed manager of the Cleveland club in 1905 there is little doubt that they would have won the American league pennant." The above statement was made by Charley Carr, manager of the Kansas City ball club, the other day. "When the Cleveland c,lub manage ment appointed I^ajoie as manager in 1905," said Mr. Carr, “it made a seri ous mistake to my way of thinking. Not that Lajoie was not a competent man for the position, but because it did not result in the harmony necessary on a team to make it a pennant win ner. I do not want to infer that Lajoie was not able to handle the affairs or to keep the men in line, for every one had the highest regard for Larry, both as a man and a player. "There were angles which caused some dissatisfaction and the players Manager Charlie Carr. were not working together as they should have done. The man who could have had perfect harmony on the team was Bill Bernhard, for every man liked him and would have worked his heatl off for him. It was Lajoie himself who would have liked to have seen Bill in charge, for he stuck to him like a bro ther. It may not be known outside, but when Bajoie signed up with the Cleveland club for a long period it was with the understanding that Bill Bernard was to be there and never re ceive a cent less than any other pitch er in the club. That is how strong 1 ai ry was for Bill. “To my mind the Naps that year had one of the strongest ball teams ever got together, but it was lack of harmony that prevented them from winning the pennant.” RESERVE RULE IS ESSENTIAL So Says John Montgomery Ward, Old Time Bali Player—Needed to Maintain National Game. John M. Ward, who probably knows as much about the workings of base ball as anyone, having been a player as well as a magnate, says: “The re serve rule is essential. It must be kept in effect to maintain baseball. When the brotherhood was organized' the fight made by the players was against a salary limit. The contract in those days contained a clause which reserved a player without his consent. But things are different now. The modern contract includes an agreement by the player to permit his employer to exer cise an option on his services for the ensuing year. If it weren’t for the methods employed by organized base ball the players would not be drawing such large salaries. The national agreement and the national commis sion are bulwarks of the game. Should they be abolished players who are de manding $15,000 would be forced to ac cept $1,500 instead." Many Stars Gone. figuring along the same line of thought—how many of the wonderful Athletics of 1911 are gone? Eight of them—Livingstone. Hartzell, Lord, Krause, Danforth, Martin, Morgan and Derrick: And of them all Lord is the only one still in the majors. Then there are Thomas. Murphy and Harry Davis, whose playing days are fast drawing to a close. Yet two seasons gone they were member's of a club heralded as the most wonderful base ball machine ever gathered together. Carrigan Given Free Hand. Jimmy McAleer has announced that Manager Bill Carrigan of the Reds has been given a free hand to do as he sees fit about the team. WITH POPULAR GAUZE BUTTERFLY | NOvy that it is a little too late to want a straw hat. and considerably too early to buy a velvet or winter felt, a between-seasons idea has been launched in that dear Paris. It is the black or w'bite satin hat and it is trimmed with a gauze butterfly. The "gauze" is fine raaline, of course, but "gauze” goes better with “butterfly." The satin hat and the gauze butterfly have made an instantaneous suc cess. Already the manufacturers are getting daily telegrams from all points of the compass, and are laying wagers with ea<*h other as to which particular satin hat with a butterfly is ordered in said telegram. These hats usually have soft crowns and somewhat flexible brims. They fit close to the head and are worn without a hat pin. The liking for black is a reaction after the riotous vogue of riotous colors which is passing with the summer. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. .. .... PRETTY IDEA FOR MILLINERY Hand-Painted Effects Are Among the Season’s Novelties and Have Been Received With Favor. The application of analine dyes in hand-painted effects to millinery of the season is an entirely new device, and the result is uniaue. White os trich feathers, long and thick, are dec orated in flower designs in natural colors. The design npns upward with the quill and spreads out on the flues. Another fancy is to paint the straw hat directly, just in the design the flowers would make, or fruit, were it placed upon it. On the brim or on the crown, or partly under the brim, or on its upturned edge. Here the pattern is traced in brilliant tones. White straw and “natural” straw are the only shades so decorated. Any surface or quality may be used. Gar den hats are really pretty done in this way. A design of cherries in red with green leaves and gray twigs of stems is, for instance, especially odd.

Writer Criticizes Hostesses for Their Penchant for Serving Inappro priate Combinations. Anyone who serves wafers with tea is lacking in gastronomic imagination. Drinking tea and eating a wafer is like having a picnic in the woodshed, or wearing an Easter hat with go loshes, declares a writer in the Atlan tic Monthly. It is a hueless compromise where there might be a vivid delight. Many otherwise excellent hostesses fail to perceive the relation between after noon tea and its edible accompani ments. They will serve you a hard, obstinate biscuit that you break, red faced, on the rim of your saucer, send ing, as likely as not, your cup bounc ing over the other edge, and your tea splashing into your neighbor’s lap: or they generously provide you with a huge, gelatinous cube of cake that ad heres to your saucer, and renders you temporarily web-fingered, the while you attempt to formulate an epigram on Henry James, or discourse glibly as to why women like men. There is yet another type of hostess who passes with your tea a dribbling sandwich, oozing salad dressing at every pore and containing, half con cealed, a malicious, indivisible lettuce leaf. People who thus fail of main taining the fitness of things at the tea hour have no genuine apprecia tion of the drink which they dispense. Upward Strokes of Beauty. When my little girl was born the old colored nurse I got for her told me that if I brushed her hair the wrong way it would make it curly, I writes a correspondent of the Pitts- j burgh Dispatch. Whether that was ! what did it or not I do not know, but ! her hair, while it never really curled, j has always stood away from her head in a soft, pretty way. Mammy’s In- ) structions set me to thinking. I real ized that all faces fall as they grew old, and I wondered why it wouldn’t be wise to wash and dry the face up instead of down. I not only taught 1 my little daughter to do this—she al ways wipes upward—but I began on myself. Today, at forty-seven, not st muscle in my face has fallen; there are no droopy lines in it, and no sag ging shows at my chin. My eyelashes are always noticed because they curl upward so prettily (they didn’t before I began the upward treatment), and my daughter's are just like them. Best Use of Scent The best way to use scent, if you care to use it at all. is to put a deli cate extract in an atomizer and spray yourself with it. Strong scents are offensive dnd the most subtle and elusive odor is that obtained from a generous use of sachet bags laid among one's lingerie, in the drawers with one's handkerchiefs, gloves and veils, and possibly fastened in the front of one's stays or in some inner fold of the bodice. One can buy rnanv different kinds of ptfwder for sachets, but whatever you choose, heliotrope, violet, rose or carnation, remember that the addition of a little orris pow der will add to its strength and make it more lasting. Touch of Black. The black lorgnette ribbon is a fea ture of this season’s dress. The nar row black ribbon of moire silk has tiny gold or jeweled slides, and from it may depend, in lieu of a lorgnette or monocle, a locket, watch or any other trinket The narrow line of black against a white bodice is par ticularly smart and effective. These ribbons are seen in navy blue, crim son, even in green and pink; but black is the correct monocle hue, and a sautoir ribbon of any other color is not correct form. Suede Belts. Wide suede belts of soft color to match the predominant shade in the printed design are worn with chil dren's frocks of figured muslin. A usual trimming for such frocks takes the form of frills of white lawn scal loped in the color of the' belt with mercerized cotton. These frills some times extend from neck to hem on each side of a tucked panel of white muslin. The belt buckles over the ffills and the panel, and Is held In place by narrow straps of the print ed muslin. A jealous woman would be all right if she could only keep the lid down.

ERUPTION ON ANKLE BURNED ; Kingsville, Mo.—“Xly trouble began eighteen years ago. Nearly half of the time there were running sores around my ankle; sometimes it would be two years at a time before they were healed. There were many nights I did not sleep because of the great suffering. The sores were deep run ning ones and so sore that I could not bear for anything to touch them, j They would burn all the time and sting like a lot of bees were confined around my ankle. I could not bear to scratch it, it was always so sensitive i to the touch. I could not let my clothes touch it. The skin was very red. I made what I called a cap out of white, felt, blotting paper and soft white cloth to hold It in ^hape. This I wore night and day. "I tried many remedies tor most of ; the eighteen years with no effect, j Last summer I sent for some Cuticura I Soap and Ointment. The very first time I used Cuticura Soap and Oint ment I gained relief; they relieved the i pain right then. It was three months ; from the time I commenced using Cuticura Soap and Ointment until the i sores were entirely healed. I have not been troubled since and my ankle seems perfectly well.” (Signed) Mrs. Charles E. Brooke, Oct. 22, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p.
