Every woman should know what it means
towash clothes with Peosta Soap. You owe
it to yourself and to your clothes to wash
them in the safest and most saving way.
In order that every woman may learn the
advantages and merits of Peosta Soap we
have instructed every Grocer to pay back
her money to any woman who. after fair
trial, doesn't find Peosta more satisfactory
to wash her clothes with than any other
soap or any washing powder she ever used.

Southpaws Going,
Says Arthur Irwin

NEW YORK, Sept. N.-After several
weeks spent in observing the work OF
young players In the minor leagues
throughout the country, Arthur Irwin.
the veteran scout of the New York
Americans, has come to the conclusion
that the left-handed pitcher is dying
out.
1--WE combed the bush leagues this
year as never BEFORE said Irwin on
his return to New York, land never
did see such a scarcity OF southpaws
They are not to be had.
my experience is the same as the ex.
pcrience OF other scouts with whom ]
have talked, I cannot account for It,
except on the theory that left-handed
persons are getting rare In all walks OF
life. I'll venture the prediction tina,
next season there will be fewer new
southpaws In the big leagues than In
any season in twenty-five years"

Just a case of the old Philadelphia

the Nationals all season and 1t served

poke a hit through Eddie Foster for a

hits. Just the same, gave the Mackmen
two runs and filled the bases when

Williams had some trouble with him
at the start and the first thing every

And that's how 1t ended when Billy

had lost a game they should have won.
Hughes was invincible for six Innings
Not a man reached third In all that

Mackmen, but had never been in danger
even from Prank Baker, his old enemy.
Williams had nailed the only runner
grabbed three runs In the sixth by con-

them to cop the honors. But they
didn't, more's the pity.
Luck With Coombs.
Jack Coombs twirled for the Mack

him. From the beginning the Griffmen
hit him hard. All their drives were not

Charles 8. Ebbets< of the Brooklyn

today for a new drafting plan. Instead
of the present system Of drawing by

He proposed today that the weaker
majors be allowed to draw nrst, and se-
