PROFIT in THE
DOUBLE-HEADERS

Figures show that the double-head-
ers played all over the Tri-State
League last Saturday were profitable
from every viewpoint. II will be re-
membered that Manager Heckerts at
the spring meeting of the Tri-State
League, fathered a movement to have
the last six Saturdays in the season
the occasion for double-headers,
which he pointed out would make
the closing moments of the race OF
double interest. He was voted down,
however. Now the managers are
sorry they did not take up the plan.

QUICK DELIVERY A BALK.
Southern League President Makes
New Baseball Ruling.


NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 19.-The
quick delivery" ball, which Otto Hess,
Al Klawitter, Bert Maxwell and va
rious other twirlers have used to adj
vantage 20 catch batsmen mapping is
no longer legal. according to the lat
est bulletin issued by President Kava-
naugh. Instructions have been sent
the umpires ordering them to call a
balk on every ball known as the
quick delivery" that is pitched. BY
calling balks on pitchers who take adj
vantage Of the batsmen, the leagues
chief believes he can break up the
practice.
The ruling, according to President
Kavanaugh's instruction to umpires,
is a result Of several complaints that
have been filed by club owners, whose
players declare they have no oppor-
tunity to hit the ball. Earlier IN the
season President Kavanaugh ordered
the quick delivery" ball placed in
cold storage. This followed the
"beaning" OF Scotty Walker at Bird
vile, causing the retirement Of the
Cracker inhelder from the game this
season.
No favorites are to be played in
calling balks. Empires who fail to
carry out the orders of President
Kavanaugh viii likewise draw suspen-
sions. William Hart. who. with Win
Kellum, is now handling the indica-
tor at Pei Park. had one of the bulle-
tins tucked away in his vest Friday.

Curt Weigand, of York, says he will
sell $4,000 worth of players this sea-
son, either by draft or direct sale. 1t
looks as though Curt is talking
through his hat. as he has few men
who have shown major league calibre
this year. Strait and Stump are the
most likely fellows on his team, and
should be drafted, but outside of them
and possibly Wagner, there doesn't
look like a chance for York to get
puch money.

The county commissioners will feel the

change In the marble specified for the new
court house. At the meeting yesterday
afternoon there was such a feeble response
TO the invitation they issued to the exec
utive bodies Of the Commercial club, Real
Estate exchange and others that the board
does not feel justified just now in depart

convinced that the Colorado marble woulo
make a better showing.

Colorado company made it's product aces
sible.

MODERN HAIR DRESSING

has played havoc with the tresses OF
the fair sex, and druggists every
where comment on the fact that they
are selling large quantities of sage
for making the old-fashioned sage
tea" such as was used by our grand
mothers for promoting the growth OF
their hair and restoring its natural
color.
The demand for this well-known
herb for this purpose has been so
great that one manufacturer has
taken advantage of the fact, and has
placed on the market an ideal sage
tea" containing sulphur, valuable
remedy for dandruff and scalp rashes
and irritations, called Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy.
The manufacturers OF this remedy
authorize druggists to sell 1t under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded IL it fails TO do exactly as
represented.
This preparation Is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and Is
recommended and sold by
