As you may are two sides to every argument. th . Usually both are Just as wooden. l"uu,8 nwnere. but in this case the argument at hand u . w of baseball. Booing a visitin fir hnotila r.ln- er is another matter. This is often a tribute to the damage said player play-er has slipped to the home club. The argument we are taking up here concerns the ethi-cal ethi-cal side in riding the. home athlete when he is in the process of cavorting cavort-ing on the soapy chute, otherwise known as a slumD. l 1 Vi Honus Wagner The fan's argument is that as long as he pays his entrance fee and the game is offering him no particular thrill for the money in vested, he has a perfect right to pick up his enjoyment and entertainment enter-tainment over another route, which Is letting the erring or futile ball player know just what the fan thinks about him. The fan has a good case here as long as he doesn't move into personal per-sonal invective, involving the player's play-er's ancestry and his present family, which often happens. The only half-way shock I ever picked Dp over a booing incident occurred many gears ago when Pittsburgh fans started riding Honus Wagner. Wagner was then in his 41st year. He had been an outstanding star tor over 20 seasons. He had given millions as maay thrills as any ball player had ever displayed up to the reien of Babe Ruth, the all- time thrill king. His brilliant work at short with his bushel-basket hands, his great base running, his tremendous hitting through two decades dec-ades seemed to be quite enough to allow for a few lapses in his fad ing days. Home and Visiting Boos But the theme song of the baseball base-ball crowd is: "It isn't what you used to be it's what you are today." Just what the Flying Dutchman Dutch-man thought of the vocal raspberries raspber-ries thrown his way no one ever will know. But Fve figured ever since that if a home crowd could boo Wagner, no one else should be immune. Ball players tell me they have no feeling about being booed in hostile hos-tile hamlets. I know John McGraw relished the dislike he deliberately built up in Chicago, St. Louis and other cities away from New York. I've heard Matty booed in New York but not McGraw, although he may have been. The swiftest and . most effective reaction to booing from a rival crowd came from Cobb years ago. Ray Chapman, Cleveland shortstop, short-stop, had just been killed by Carl Mays in a Yankee game. Cobb had been quoted in an interview denouncing de-nouncing Mays. Cobb denied the interview with considerable fervor. , The next day, appearing with the Tigers against the Yankees, Ty took a terrific vocal lathering from some 35,000 Yankee fans. "It's no fun," Cobb told me that night, "to be booed, hissed and cursed by 35,000 American citizens." But in place of curling up or growing sour, Cobb stepped out that day and got four hits, stole two or three bases, scored several runs and broke up the ball game. The answer is that the big crowd was cheering bim in his last time up. Showing Up the Mob This seems to be the best answer. The best reply to a boo or a vocal cataclysm of hate and derision is to show up the maudlin mob ol goat-getters. You rarely hear them hnnine a fellow who is making good. No ball player ever took the terrific vocal riding BaDe itum ac--sorbed in the Yankee-Cub world series years ago when he came to bat against Jack Root in unicago. Parked stands howled and yelled and called Babe names they wouldn't print in the press of pur-eatorv. pur-eatorv. The Babe applied even viler epithets, one against 45,000, as he pointed to the center field nag poie. That was the most famous home run Babe ever hit in his collec tion of more than 700. 'All I know about it, the Babe told me later, "is that ball was kinder egg-shaped or flattened oui after they found it." Problem of 1947 We have been talking recently with number of managers. not club owners or ball players, about the 1947 baseball season. One of the smartest told me this with the amazing increase in attendance, attend-ance, with the aftermath of the M-rifan lpaue and the union ar rival, ball players for 1947 are going go-ing to demand big pay increases "A good many of these deserve such increase." the manager said I ft If' f. ,(r'(, t '.ri- tile : 'Hi ?L- s-., . : mm-, wa, . vs. 4a MOHAMMEDANS GO BESERK , . .

Working with woolen naterlal is a pleasure provided they're not too heavy to run through the machine easily, and you will lave a real sense of accomplish-nent accomplish-nent if you make your own coat. Before you select the material, .noose a pattern. Look them over losely at coats may be very simi lar in style, but some are harder 0 make than others. Select the pat-em pat-em with easy construction. After the pattern has been chosen, follow he guide for material so you will save an appropriate fabric for the style.

If you want a coat to wear with row suits, select a loose, sporty type, one with full sleeves and full tack, so that it will fit well over a lutt which is naturally more bulky than a sheer dress. rips Given for Easy Sewing A large table is one of the best tssets which a home seamstress :an have. Select a table without cracks or buckling as It will enable rou to lay the fabric smooth, and ilmpllfy cutting. If you have a dress form, this, too, will make fitting easier.

You, who have an old coat no longer wearable, may find that the lining or interlining in that coat is i till in good condition. Having this already made, with only a little atting necessary to place it in the aew coat, will save lots of time and work. Remove the lining carefully and hang aside until ready to use. Be sure to brush off any stray threads. Adjust the pattern to yourself before be-fore cutting out the coat as this will ave many hours of fitting and re-cutting re-cutting and sewing. Make sure the ileeves and length of the coat are proper for you. A good rule to follow Is to pin before be-fore basting and fit before sewing. Once basted the coat will look on you as it would when the final sewing sew-ing is completed. How much better It is to make alterations without having to rip out fine machine stitching!

Pockets are not hard to make on a woolen coat and they add a lot of flair to the sporty models. You may choose a patch pocket, a welt pocket, a patch pocket with a flap, or a bound pocket Make the pockets pock-ets only after the coat is put together, to-gether, except tor the lining, as it will be necessary to pin them at the right height to have them look well Bound buttons and button holes add a great deal of style to the coat. The bound buttonholes are easy to make in a woolen, but you may have a tailor make them for you if necessary. The same goes for the bound buttons. How to Line Coat Properly v Most coats have a lining throughout, through-out, including the sleeves, as this is essential for winter warmth. A lining also helps coat to slip on and off easily, so select a glossy material which will slide easily. A darker lining will not soil as easily as a light one, so select material that is a darker shade than your coat, but have the color the same basic one ss your coat. Using the coat pattern, cut the lining for the coat You'll notice that in many coats there is an extra pleat in the back. The fabric is folded fold-ed before cutting. The pleat gives extra room in the back without making the coat bulky. Stitch the lining like a dress, and press seams open. Join the sleeves last A good way to insert the lining properly is to place the unllned coat, inside out on your model figure, fig-ure, then pin and baste the lining to that. Wear the coat after lining is basted to make sure you have enough room, etc. Bits and Pieces If you make cretonne slipcovers, slipcov-ers, save all the odd bits of material ma-terial and use them for making shopping bags, sewing bags, shoe bags and clothespin holders. hold-ers. Make water-resistant aprons from old oilcloth. They are handy han-dy when washing dishes. Old damask tablecloths are excellent ex-cellent when dyed and recut into dirndl skirts. They can also be used for attractive but simple place mats or extra napkins. Worn-out pillow cases are very good for covering clothes that are put away for storage. It prevents dust from accumulating accumulat-ing on the shoulders of garments gar-ments where they're most susceptible. sus-ceptible. Forecast Slim waistlines and dropped hemlines are high fashion news, as is skirt draping. With short sleeves and sleeveless dresses, the gloves worn are short length ones. You'll remember World War I when you look at some of the new skirts. There are slim tubular ones and others with the draped panier so popular then, and incidentally, now. w i i |
