WHEAT HAS RANGE OF FENCE
Brooklyn Outfielder Slugging Ball
Hard and* Most of His Hits Go
to Right Field.
Zach Wheat has got the range of the
right field fence at Ebbets field, so op
posing pitchers better beware ! When
Zachariah is clouting the old apple at
top form he generally sinks most of
the long ones out to starboard. Early
Zach Wheat
*n the season Wheat was walloping
most of his drives to left, and hitting
“kerplunk” into the fielder's hands.
Slowly but surely he has been swing
ing his batteries more to starboard,
and now he is training them on the
right field wall in old-time form.
CONNIE MACK BOOSTS BURRUS
Player Bought Mainly to Take Place
of Burns Is Best Youngster He
Has Seen in Years.
Connie Mack declares he has picked
up the most promising looking ball
player that has broken into the Ameri
can league since George Sisler arrived.
Burrus, the first baseman he bought at
Columbia, S. C., is the man he boasts
of. On his way back to Philadelphia
from Columbia, Connie stopped off in
.Washington and in conversation with
the Indians extolled the abilities of
his new initial sacker.
“He can do anything any ball play
er can do,” said the long manager.
“He can hit, run the bases and field.
He has a few small faults, but all of
them can be eliminated easily by ex
perience. And he is smart. He grad
uated this year from North Carolina
A. and M. university, and from what 1
hear has none of the eccentricities
with which most of the left handers
are afflicted.
That Connie should go looking for a
first baseman when he had George
Burns, whose batting was such a sen
sation last year, on his team, may be a
-great surprise to many, but Burns is
emphatic evidence that a ball player
can have a sudden reversal of form.
Burrus was bought especially to
displace the former Detroit player.
PLENTY FOR SCOUTS TO DO.
Their New Slogan Is “The War Is
Over, But Our Work Is Not.”
SCOUTS IN ENGINEER CORPS.
. ... «
Lieutenant Gassin of the 303rd engi
neers is in charge of a group of scouts
at New Brunswick, N. J., taking up
one of the most interesting features of
scouting.
This corps is designed to lay a foun
dation for practical engineering work
in the future. The outline of instruc
tion follows:
Preliminary—Road sketching and
reconnaissance, use of compass, pace
scales, methods of recording hotes,
forms for traversing with compass and
note book, estimating distances.
Sketching Board—Contour maps,
drainage systems, traveling by map,
field work with sketching board.
Panoramic Sketching—Locating ob
jects that are visible, use of vertical
and horizontal clock-face system.
Knots and Lashings—Their use In
engineering, rigging tackle, placing
sheer poles, lifting weights, construc
tion of trestles.
HOP, SKIP AND JUMP HOBBLE
Manners Reflected in Style of Clothes
—Recall Egyptian and Japanese
Way of Dressing.
The styles of our clothes have been
responsible for some very interesting
ways of walking. In faot, styles of
walking are easily to be traced to the
sort of skirts we wear. Or is it the
other way around? Do we submit to
extremes in skirts according as we are
willing to give up the privilege of tak
ing comfortable, normal steps?
This is not the first time we have
hobbled. But the hobble of 1919 is
just a little different from the hobble
of 1913. For one thing, writes a fash
ion correspondent, we are not so do
cile about it. We cannot accustom
ourselves to it. for we have gone un
checked and unhaltered for so many
seasons.
So this season’s hobble is character
ized by something that resembles a
hop, skip and jump. We make a val
iant effort as if v. e hoped any minute j
to be able to step forward unchecked,
and finally abandon our efforts to ;
progress entirely. Then we either
give up walking entirely or abandon
our tight skirt in favor of one that
is Wider though not so fashionable.
At the resorts, where women have
in other seasons promenaded to show
their own and to see other women’s
new apparel, and whei’e only those
who were too weary or too weak to
walk resorted to the wheel chairs, it
has been noticed that there were de
cidedly fewer promenaders among the
women and an unusually large de
mand for the wheel chairs. The an
swer is not far to seek. No matter
how willing, nay, eager, you may be to
walk, if your ankles are shackled, you
can't do it. Hence you must either
stand or consent to be wheeled.
But there is nothing new at all
about the hobble step. In fact, the
skirt so tight as to force women to
take mincing steps seems to have been
admired since the dawn of history. .
Surely, the Egyptian women must
have hobbled as much as the young
woman of 1919, and the Japanese girl
in her narrow hemmed kimono cer
tainly never knew the freedom that
comes with the skirt that is wide and
short.
HATS FOR SHORT AND TALL
__
Headgear Most Becoming to Woman
Below Average Height Compared
With Others.
Rather large hats are leaders in .
summer millinery, and sentiment is
about equally divided between tlio
poke-shaped affair with narrow back
and the hat with wide brim of even
width all around.
A study of types will usually prove
to the woman below the average height
that if she wants a broad-brimmed hat
the one that flares over the face only
and is cut narrower at the back is the
most becoming. A hat that has a wide
brim all the way around is the best se
lection for the tall beauty. The small
hat may be worn by the woman of
practically any height. The brimless
hat, however, is more trying to the
average face than one with a brim to
shade the face and soften any lines.
Dainty Trifles for Girls* Use.
Pretty lingerie clasps are made of
crochet and the snap fasteners with
which they fasten are covered with
tiny crocheted roses. Other clasps are
made of linen tape trimmed with a
tatted edge. Both are practical be
cause washable. Ribbon clasps are
finished with tiny pink rosebuds. Any
bits of crepe de chine or ribbon will
make a cluster of the popular little
buds that girls will delightedly find a
place for on her lingerie, her best hat
or bag, or her dancing frock.
