For Women Who Care

Ofcourse you use an antiseptic in your
family and in the care of your own per-
son, and you 'gant the best.
Instead Of what you have been using
such as liquid or tablet antiseptics or
peroxide, won't you please try Paxtine,
a concentrated antiseptic powder to be
dissolved in water as needed.
Paxtine is mora economical, more
cleansing, more germicidal and more
healing than anything you ever used.

young outt1elder, who was with the
club last season. The price of Ba-

$1,000, If not more. Theodore Gou-

Perryman Studying Ministry.
Perryman, the Virginian, is
studying for the ministry, and
baseball is more or less of a side
issue, but he is said to be a very
promising HEAVIER. Paddy Greene,
whose right name is Grienier. or
something similar, has also been
claimed by the New York Ameri-
cans, who allege they have an OPP
ton on any Holyoke player for
$1,000, but McGraw is said to have
paid $4,000, and expects to get this
young man.
The Giant leader may recall Louie
Drucke, the blond Texan, now with
Toronto of the International league.
who seems to be gradually recover
ing from the injury which put him
out of business with the big
leaguers. Louie has won quite a
number of games, although in most
of them he has been hit very fee
bly,. McGraw may also bring back
Pfefer Fullenweider, the blocky
built Carolinan, who was with him
last spring, and who is now with
Buffalo of the International.
F'ullenweider has not had a great
deal of luck in the big minor, but
he has pitched good ball and has
been very favorably commented
upon by the critics. McGraw rath-
err liked F'ullenweider from the first,
and kept him Until he could place
him to the best advantage.
1t is unlikely that any of the 9TH
er pitching recruits who were with
the Giants last spring will be re-
called.

By Damon Runyon.

NEW YORK, Aug. ga new
" wing will have to be con-
structed to the justly cele-
brated Arlington hotel at Marlin,
Texas, this coming winter to ac-
commodate the wild horde of young
pitchers which will be turned loose
upon that peaceful community by
John ]. McGraw in February, 1913.
Apparently the Giant chief is en-
deavoring to corner the heavier
supply of the far sticks. Beating
north, west. south and east, and
apparently working on one exclu-
slve order, his ivory hunters" have
turned in nearly a dozen slab pros
poets to date, with the draft and the
recall yet to be heard from.
There is every prospect that Nc
Graw will have from fifteen to
twenty pitchers in Marlin next
spring, not counting his veterans.
Mathewson, Marquard, Wiltse,
Ames, Crandall and Tesreau. He
has already spent a small fortune
in buying up kid beavers reported
favorably by his searchers. 1t Is
very evident that McGraw sent his
scouts out with a curious single
ness OF purpose. The order was
manifestly pitchers-and nothing
else-or, at least, nothing else has
been turned in so far.
It is unlikely that McGraw will
get much chance to look these boys
over this fall, either, unless his men
cinch the National league race
sooner than is expected, and he
will, therefore, probably follow out
his scheme of last year, when he
took the youngsters to Marlin in
advance of the regulars
In 1911 McGraw had only seven
or eight pitching recruits at Mar
lin, while this season he has all
ready gathered in ten.
Here's List of New Pitchers.
Here is the list to date: Al De-
maree, from the Mobile club of the
Southern league; Bader, from Dali
las, of the Texas league; Gouliat,
from Indianapolis of the American
association; Perryman, from Rich
mond Of the Virginia league;
Schupp, from Decatur of the
Three Eye league; Hanley, from
Newark of the Ohio State; Paddy

necticut league; Shore and Robert

CUBS NOW SURE
THEY WILL BEAT
OUT GIANTS

~HICAGO. Aug. 22,-West Side
fans are confident today that
the Cubs win win the Nation
al league pennant 1t wasn't yes
terday's downfall Of the Giants at
the hands of the local team that
forms the basis of their belief as
much as the fact that for the next
four days the New Workers will be
battling the fast gated Pirates In
Pittsburg, while Chances crew will
play four games here at home with
the lowly Bostons.
The Cubs are confident of making
a clean sweep of the series with
Johnny Kings misflts, and they
figure that the Giants will be lucky
If they secure an even break with
the Pirates. There are only four
and ne-half games separating the
Giants and the Cubs today, and the
Chicago team is going at top speed
right now, while the Giants are fall
tering.
1t was Lew Richie who again
made the Giants take the count
yesterday, to the tune of to 0.
In the last four outs against the
McGraw clan, Comedian Lew" has
won thrice.
Richie was master from the start
yesterday, holding New York to
seven widely scattered hits. He re-
ceived brilliant support. The only
time New York threatened to score
was in the fifth. With two out,
Fletcher and Tesreau drove singles,
but the side was retired when Zim-
norman leaped in the air and with
one hand pulled down what looked
like a two-h base hit from Snodgrass'
bat
Chicago found Tesreau for four
hits in the sixth and scored three
runs. Tinker opened the inning
with a single and went TO third on
Zimmerman's double. Leach sent a
single to center, scoring Tinker and
Zimmerman. Safer grounded to
Herzog. who failed in an attempt to
catch Leach at second on a felders
choice. Evers beat out a bunt to
Tesreau and Safer and Leach ad-
vanced a base. Leach came home
on a passed ball
Another run was scored 10y Chi
cago in the eighth when Safer sin
g1ed. went 10 second on Evers out,
and home when Archer singled to
left.
The game was witnessed by an
other capacity crowd. The stands
and bleachers were packed and the
outfield was lined with thousands
unable to get seats. Fully $4,000
people were within the enclosure

CROSS IS AN EASY

NTEW YORK, Aug. 22.-TOmmy
" O'Keefe, of Philadelphia, the
boy who fought so sensa-
tionally in Atlanta last spring, re-
turned to his home In the Quaker
village today, a sadder and wiser
lightweight as the result of his eff
fort to take Leach Cross number
in a ten-round bout at the St.
Nicholas rink last night. Cross
won in a walk.
During the two opening rounds
the Philadelphia tore after the
dentist, but soon tired himself out.
Cross let O'Keefe do all the heavy
work until he began to tire from
his own execution and then opened
up and pounded Tommy at will.
In the first round Cross slipped
to his knees and claimed he had
been fouled. The referee and most
Of the spectators thought Leach
was stalling and he was roundly
Kissed
From the fifth round on it looked
IS though Cross was going to win
any second by a knockout, but
O'Keefe used all his marvellous

and clinch through the entire ten

other round or two the New Yorker
would have surely won a decisive
