BETTER MEN WANTED Minor Leagn rs Will Not Do for the Nine. FIRST-CLASS JNEJELDERS ARE NEEDED aS Base Ball Patrons Tired of Experi- ~mental Teams. CRISIS FOR THE SENATORS ——— The signing of Shortstop Hulen of the Western League during the past week by the Washington club was reccived with a cold chi!l by the local base ball enthusiasts. Washington has been treated to experi- ments for the past six years, or ever since the Messrs. Wagners have liad control of the local club, and it was expected that with the re-entry of Arthur Irwin as a manager of the Senators a new line of or- ganization for thé coming season would pe adopted. Year after year the Washington public has gone to National Park with the abiding faith of base ball enthusiasts thats! exch season would be an improvement upon the one that had passed, and year after year disappointment and chagrin have been their lot. To sey that the Washington pub- Vic will stand this sort of treatment for- ever is building upon the false information that falls to the lot of people who are not citizens of the national capital. In seasons gone by, it will.be recalled, crowds were drawn in the spring which dwindled to the usual average number of spectators, 500 of the faithful, who. are tied up in the summer and pine for amusement. The last two s scns have been eye-openers to the W ington management in the matter of at- iendance at the opening games, and it has about reached a point where the local pa- trons of the game will remain away from National Park until the club representing this city civ idence of winning ball and winning . AS a matter of economy the club indulged in spring practice at home for several seasons past and as a_re- sult thousands of dollars were lost. The coming spring the Senators will be taken south, but from the outlook it will be this practice alone that will be relied upon to land them in the first division. The Washington club as now constituted is in dire need of a first-class shortstop and third baseman. The other positions will average up fairly well, not counting Reitz and Selbach, who belong to the first class. There is no club in the National League to- y that been able to play winning ball with k infield. Other positions may ak, but a stone-wall infield will always be found with the best clubs. Baltimore, Cincinnati and Boston ve carried along weak outfielders, but | when it came to the rupture of their infields through injury or sickness little time was lost in replacing the star infielder with a player almost his equal. Jt was just as hard for these three clubs to corral these ‘goed players as it would be for the Washingtob club; yet they secured the men desird@# and it would appear the local managemtnt” could obtain the right players if it went about it in the right way and with sinceré fhtention.

The welcome advent of the ason of “Santa Claus” is stirring up trade consid- erably in business circles, but most notice- able is this holiday activity at the Bon Marche, 314 to 318 7th street. Holiday buy- ers crowd each other good-naturedly at the various departments. Sensible gifts seem to predominate with buyers this season, hence the increased trade in stylish coats and refer jackets, the beautiful stock of which is exceptionally fine, and the quota- tions are most reasonable. The prevailing cloths in ladies’ jackets for this season are Venetians, kerseys, cheviots and the pop- ular rough boucle. Very swell electric seal jackets that vie in beauty and style with the genuine skin are here and very moder- ately priced, too. Choice furs made up in those pretty neck garments are in abun- dance. Electric seal scarfs, mink scarfs, marten scarfs, seal with grebe trimmings and electric seal collarettes tastefully trim- med with astrachan and chinchilla. The price quoted for these garments, worth from $6.50 to $9, is but $4.88! Children’s pretty fur sets—muffs and boas —should form quite a big share of old “San- ta Claus’ ” sledful when he unpacks for his annual distribution of Christmas gifts for the little folks. “The Bon Marche has been ever noted for its generous and varied stock of children’s garments, and this season is no exception, for the choice abounds in all that a parent need desire in styles, colors, beauty of make-up and trim. : Gloves and fine stockings make most in- expensive yet very acceptable presents. All the staple colors of gloves for street wear, and the dainty, delicate shades for evening and dress occasions are ih the glove depart- ment, and very low-priced. Fine stockings are happily suggestive of suitable gifts, and selections in quantities, colors and prices are abundant. : Umbrellas and fine handkerchiefs will play a prominent part with the “gift-giv- ers.” The attractively low prices just now ought to be an incentive to those who have quite a number of friends to remember at “Yaletide.” The resources of a not over- plethoric pocketbook are surely manifold just now at the Bon Marche. ‘The book department is in the “glory of its fullness,” and deserving of its great pa- tronage.

To the Editor of The Evening Stor: You have always been so willing to give place in your most popular paper to the erles of annoyance, will you help me? Mine, perhaps, is a novel one. A club of young gentlemen for two or three seasons past has gotten up assembly dances. The utmost care has been taken to have them a success in every possible way. Now, the complaint is this: After everything 1s done for their comfort and enjoyment, why will many of the young ladies refuse to grant the only request made of them—to come in evening dress? No elegance is wished. Disregarding this, they come in walking attire, dancing in hats and wraps. If they come only to look on, that 1s another thing. Let them remain as spectators, not par- ticipants. A few evenings ago one of the gentlemen of the committee got up and requested those dancing with hats on to remove them. Several of the young ladies danced on, disregarding the request. Will not The Star tell the dear girls how much prettier they look in evening dress and urge them to do as we wish? F. H. B.
