Dark-Hued Diamond Artists
Bad Losers, Too, According
to Giants Leader.

A FTER a successful campaign Of
~ baseball In Cuba. John McGraw.
. anager Of the Giants. six Of the
players, and Umpire Rigler Of the Ma
tional LeagLe who ohiciated in the
games on the little island. have returned
to this city.
McGraw says the Cubans are bad
losers, that they know little OF inside
baseball. are dull thinkers. but fast
runners.
The little Napoleon. accompanied by
Third Baseman Charley Herzog. came
by rail from Key West. while Ave
others Of the players arrived on the
steamer Moro Castle.
In this party we're Josh Devore. Larry
Doyle. George Wiltse. Arthur Devlin
and Arlie Latham. They all said they
had a nne time In Cuba. but were glad
to get back to New York for Christ
mas. Arlie Latham made q big hit on
the Island. for the Cubans never saw
his comedy on the base lines before.
Latham learned a few auips in Spanish
and chartered them at every oppor-
tunity.
Twelve other players. whose homes
are In the West. went to Now Orleans,
where they separated n went TO their
homes for Christmas. The 0iant squad

and they will be in much better shape
than last season when they begin the
spring training. The Cuban invasion
was the most successful that any base
ball team from the States has made OF
the island. The Giants won nine out of
twelve games, defeating tho Havana
team Ave games out OF six and trim
ming the Almendares team four out OF
six.
These Cubans." said MoIraw, ARE
only fair ball players. They are as fast
as lightning on the bases and they ran
throw to beat the band. They nave
picked up all the knacks Of fielding, but
they cannot bat.
Not only that. but they do not play
what We call brainy baseball. VERY
little attention Is given to brainwork on
the diamond, They perform the manual
part Of the game very well. bu. the
keen, crafty headworx We see IN the
game here Is missing. They know moth

able to out-trlck them most OF the time,
In an opposing pitcher they look FOR

A CURE? FOR
BADNESS

The above expression IS one which Is
used frequently in connection with hair
preparations. Just exactly what is
meant by it IN each instance is a ques-
ton. Badness is not a disease and
hence, does not permit of q cure. It
is a result invariably to be traced to
the dandruff germ and If the condition
has become chronic. that Is, If there is
complete atrophy of the hair folIicles, a
cure is absolutely impossible
approaching badness, seen in falling
hair. may always be checked and If the
hair follicles are not atrophied the hair
may be induced again to grow.
This is accomplished by regular ap-
plications of NeWbro,s Herpicide which
cleanses the scalp and kills the dand-
ruff germ The destruction of the germ
does away with the Accommodations Of
scarf skin and thus eliminates the most
common enemy to beautiful hair.
Soft, glossy, fluffy hair cannot grow
on scalp infested with dandruff any
more than delicate plant can grow
on an ash heap. The scalp must be
kept clean and free from dandruff.
The best remedy for doing this is New
bros Herpicide which receives the high
est endorsements from professional
men. the stage and the best people
everywhere.
Herpicide is sold and guaranteed in
one dollar size bottles by ali druggists.
Applications obtained at all first-class
barber shops and hair dressing parlors.
