BASEBALL IN ENGLAND
SPORTING EDITOR GIVES HIS
IDEA OF AMERICAN GAME.
Briton's Conception of Recent Con
test Between Giants and White
Sox Grotesque—Admiration
for Work of Players.
An article in the London Pall Mall
Gazette shows what an English sport
ing writer thinks of the game between
the Giants and White Sox, played in
London just before the world tourists
returned to this country. It follows
in part:
"An hour's punting about preceded
the real business This is the cus
tom. Now and then a batter hit out.
and it was extraordinary what power
there is behind the thin cylindrical
club.
| "The diamond was marked out so
' that the batter's box was in front of
the royal box. and the pitcher faced
the king s eyes. An army of photog
raphers dodged the balls of the prac
ticing Giants The bases' are white
cushions.
'The field was much worn and saw
dust was plentifully sprinkled to give
footwork its proper chance. So much
1 depends on this, especially in the field
ing The movements of the men area
revelation. The pitcher starts with
hands together high over his head
Then he raises one leg and balances
then the whole body swings forward
as the ball is thrown
“The pace is greater at times than
that of our fastest bowlers, at times
slower than the slowest. The batter is
practically ambidextrous, so well dc
his arms and shoulders work together
He has great control over placing the
ball and over the pace of his hit.
' The fielders, with their huge mitts
on the left hand. are. like trained
panthers. To catch, to transfer tc
right hand and throw is the work of
an instant, and all smooth. Theii
footwork is surely the last word In
footwork and quickness of eye and
hand.
"The White Sox played a little pre
liminarv game for three minutes, ic
which their mascot, a little fellow of
five years, was batter,' and scored a
run.
"The king arrived at 3:55 o'clock.
The crowd lined up. and there was a
great loyal demonstration
“The Chicagos took the field, and the
first Giant wielded the bat. Mr. Klem
the umpire, with his head in a visor,
stood behind the catcher.
"The second hit of the left-handed
batter was caught in long-field. The
second batter got to first base, the
ball hitting the catcher's face—a
mighty smack. The pitcher, after out
ing the next man tried to out the first
base, a fine hit. which was caught ou
the on. The 'Giants had scored one
when the White Sox' went in.
American supporters kept up a
running fire of advice and humor. The
appeals as to fair balls tnot easy to
detecti were numerous, and the urn
pire s voice was big.
“A Chicago Sox’ hit the ball out of
the ground among the people. This
was loudly cheered.
“The base-running in the Chicago
third inning was quite exciting—a
series of man hunts. A skier was well
caught, and a ‘Giant’ went in. These
innings are quick affairs A hit be
hind the front line of the diamond is
a foul, and does not count. There
were plenty of these when the ball
was not hit true. This was due to the
swerving
"Another great hit out of the
ground gave Xew York a run.
“Many high hits were made and the
catching of these was excellent.
The catcher of the 'Giants' made a
wonderful catch of a slopped ball.
Xext hit the batter was out by quick
base throwing. A long hit was neatly
fielded and sent in by the policeman
on point duty at the end of the ground
It was not so scientific a throw as
was the American. The throwing is
exquisite, artistic and strong and as
accurate as rifle shooting. It goes on
all over the diamond, from base to
base.
"The racing between the fielders
and the runners was most interesting
One fine smack—a low- drive—went
past the pitcher and scored an easy
base
“Stealing bases was very pretty
work The men at the bases were
like cats one moment and greyhounds
the next."
Appointment Tor Home.
\V. H. Horne, the famous English
professional golf player, has been ap
pointed to the Durban club. South Af
rica- Horne, who is thirty-three years
of age. is probably the biggest player
in the professional ranks of Great Brit
ain. for he stands over six feet high,
and is powerfully built. His greatest
achievement was the driving of a ball
388 yards in North Berwick in 1909—
the greatest distance on record. Horne
holds many records and will be re
membered as the "masked golfer" who
created such a stir in . this country
some time ago.
Bonin With Federals.
Luther Bonin, who quit the gams
last year because his broken ankle
bothered him, has signed to play with
the Buffalo Federals. He is the play
er for whom the St. Louis Americans
paid Columbus a fat price, but who
could not deliver and was turned
back. Last spring in Columbus he
was severely panned for quitting the
team, it being said that the only thing
wrong with him was a lack of cour
age.
Saylor Shines Brightly.
Toung Saylor, a Cleveland light
weight, went over to Australia and
knocked out Hughie Mehegan, cham
pion of that country, in 11 rounds.
Young Saylor is the same lad who
knocked out Freddie Welsh with a
legitimate solar plexus blow, but the
referee thought the smash low, where
upon he was disqualified for fouling.
Plan College Soccer League.
The colleges and universities of the
Pacific -northwest are planning the
formation of an Intercollegiate soccer

Traveler’s Cape a Great Boon
WHEN a long journey is to be un
dertaken, or where there is a
prospect of globe-trotting ahead, there
is one garment that may be depended
upon for comfort and for style; it
is the traveler's cape. It has taken
the place of the old-fashioned shawl
and is the same reliable companion j
which does duty on all sorts of occa
sions and helps out in all sorts of
emergencies.
These capes and combinations of
capes with other garments have been
designed in several ways. When made
of a material of medium weight the
cape is often part of a loose-fitting
coat, and is detachable and fastened |
to the undergarment at the collar. In ;
heavier fabrics the cape is cut in oae
with the coat and is shorter, extend
1*£ about to the knees Or cape fronts
of the same length as the coat are
fastened in at the side seams and are
shaped to accommodate themselves to
the shape of the coat. This special
variety is intended for the sea trip ’
more particularly.
The convenience of a cape like that
shown in the picture is evident. It
may be worn over the coat-suit or
as an extra garment over a separate
coat, or without any other wrap un
der it, depending upon the amount of
protection the wearer needs. It is !
easily kept presentable and is never
out of fashion. Such garments are
made of the best grade of fabrics used
for outer wraps and made in the most
substantial manner, as they are likely
to be subject to rough wear.
The cape Illustrated is made of blue
broadcloth in the brightest of navy
blue and is trimmed with fiat white
braid. Black braid is a wiser choice
for a long journey, because it doesn't
require cleaning very often. A heavy
quality of cloth is chosen, and is
shrunk before the cape is cut. Besides
broadcloth there are other serviceable
cloths that answer the purpose for a
traveling cape, but none quite as good
looking. Cravanette and the several
waterproofed fabrics, like serge and
cheviot, are to be considered, and the
choice governed by the needs or taste
of the individual.
The broadcloth cape Is lined with a
substantial woolen fabric, as a rule j
in a plain color or tn dark plaid. Larga
bone buttons and strong buttonholes
provide the fastening, and a part of
the meager decoration wbich is per
missible in the traveler's cape.
A new field for usefulness for the
cape has been developed since the au
tomobile has become a part of the
paraphernalia of life. It is the extra
garment to be taken along and to be
relied upon to meet weather changes.
It and the extra veil might be included
in the long list of accessories which
go with the machine. For the cape
fits all figures and is as much a fam
ily affair as the old-time shawl. In time
the owner becomes attached to a cape,
as to a reliable friend. There are very
-few among the shortlived garments of
today which can ever possess the
charm of association possible to a cape.
When it is made all this is to be con
sidered. It must be ample, long enough
to almost cover the figure, well put
together, and always in a stable color.
Strong and dark blues have proved
themselves the best choice.
Glove Novelties.
Among the novelties in gloves there
is a good looking pair, which is ef
feetive without being conspicuous
Made from the finest white glace kid
it is piped in black and has long cuffs
inset with puffings of black silk and
edged with fine white Chantilly lace. 1
The backs are richly embroidered, j
and two smoked pearl clasps fasten j
the gloves at the wrist. Another of
fine glace kid gloves has deep ap
pliqued cuffs and contrasting colored
kid in a pointed effect, the backs fine
ly embroidered in raised silk dots.
Poetic Fashion.
It Is somewhat difficult to account
for the cause of the Byronic revival
so far as ties and collars are con
cerned. That the black Latin Quarter
tie is here to accompany the soft roll
collar like unto that affected by Lord
Byron in the early part of the nine
teenth century there is no doubt. To
a young face and to beauty the Byron
collar and soft black tie are very be
coming. but the simplicity of the fash
ion is trying to a woman devoid of
either.
Foundation Waist of Net
ONE of the plain waists of net is i
shown here, ready for draping with !
lace, or chiffon, or voile, or taffeta, or '
any of the thin fabrics that are used
to help make up the fancy waists for
dressy wear. There is a plain under
waist of net, without sleeves, support
ing a second plain waist with sleeves.
A narrow double frill of plaited net
finishes the neck and extends down
the front. A similar frill finishes the
sleeves.
These waists are very handy for
the home dressmaker, saving time and
making a foundation for the construc
tion of either separate waists or bod
ices, as the wearer may desire.
Lace and chiffon veils, as well as
piece goods are used effectively in
draping them. Printed ribbons, chif
fons and voiles, and plain thin fab
rics are used over them.
It is best to buy them ready made,
as they are cheap and net is difficult
to handle by the amateur dress
maker.
The foundation waist of net is a
plain and not a graceful garment, but
it provides a convenient support for
the waist which the home dressmaker
wishes to make for herself.

SPRING FEVER
ISJEJM
It Indicates Fresh Hopes and
Renewed Buoyancy of
Spirit.
How wonderfully tight the spring
wander-lust for the countryside grips
one!
Spring fever, with all of its health
fulness is the harbinger of fresh
hopee and a buoyancy of spirit.
I noticed a passenger on a Detrolt
Chicago train the other day w ho had
started out on his trip with the evi
dent intention of becoming deeply
taken with one of the best sellers,
that he might shorten the trip between
the two cities. You have done the
same thing yourself.
But his book had been cast aside.
He had read only a few pages. His
Interest in it had lagged.
From the car windows he was count
ing the fields now bared of snow. The
ditches were carrying away the water
and the still less sluggish creeks were
now streams bearing the overflow to
the rivers. The farmer, in his shirt
sleeves, was repairing the fences after
the winter drifts; the cattle showing
proof of a winter’s stabling and now
heading here and there toward the
meadows, seeking the new-green
patches of grass; the farm help, in
field and 6tubble, was putting Into
repair this and that necessary fea
ture, here looking after his plow and
there his harrow, and on all sides were
scenes which reminded the traveler
that spring was here, at last!
As the train sped onward and
glimpses of the painter as he worked
on the weather-beaten buildings were
revealed, the interest of< the tourist
was aroused and, when I asked him
the reason, he answered: "Spring is
here and I feel its blood flowing!"
job trutn was. that like many
others, he was planning the work he
was to do the coming summer. He
was going out to the farm—his farm
In Western Canada. He had his wells
to dig, hie horses to get into shape,
his grain implements to fix up, his
seed grain to prepare, and other de
tails lor the land that was ready to
receive It. His was what might be
termed an “unrest"—to get to the
farm!
Thousands in Western Canada to
day are making the preparations that
this interested man contemplated.
Their summer fallows are ready for
the wheat, their spring plowing is
being attended to, fences are being
rebuilt or being put into repair; in- *
deed, the entire country is one great
hive of industry.
Rai.roads are in readiness to take
care of a great rush of settlers, those
charged with the reception of whom
are prepared to extend every cour
tesy and thus meet the rush with
judgment and without 'the least fric
tion. Thus, the enjoyment of the
opening of spring is fully met.
At many of the stations throughout
many of the middle western states,
trains of settlers’ effects are in readi
ness to move to Western Canada. Not
only in these states are scenes of this
kind to be witnessed, but, also, on
either coast and throughout the east
ern states there is the same activity
among those going to Western Can
ada this spring. The crops have been
heavy and all reports are that the
winter was enjoyable; also, that the
prospects for a satisfactory year were
never better. There is plenty of land
yet to be had by homesteading or oth
erwise. Adapted, as Western Canada
is, tc small grain farming, it is espe
cially adapted to cattle raising and
many of the farmers are placing small
and large herds, as their individual
means will permit.
The illustrated literature sent out
by the Canadian government agents
tells the truth clearly and the Inquirer
should send for a copy and if you be
one of those who has an ambitious
interest, you may be the gainer by
a perusal of such information—
straight, cold facts in themselves —
