THE "HITLESS WONDERS"
Qualities That Made the Old White
Sox Club Famous.

Back in 1906 the Chicago White Sox
were known as the Hitless Wonders,
because of their ability to win games
with uniformly poor batting, and
though Frank Isbell, the best club
swinger on the team. finished a season
of 1872 games with an average of only
.279, this club qualified for a chance
to fight for a worlds championship.
And what is still more to the point,
they won the great series from Frank
Chances Cubs when that aggregation
was at its best.
But there was reason for this, and
the reason was the wonderful pitch
ing staff, which consisted of Ed
Walsh, Doc White, Nick Altrock, Roy
Patterson, Frank Owens and Frank
Smith, an aggregation of twirling
talent seldom equaled. So clever We're
the members of this sextet that they
were able to limit opposing teams to
minimum of runs, and it was only
necessary for the batters of the White
SoX to collect three or four TALES to
win most contests.
But even if the club was shy on
heavy hitters such men as Jiggs
Donohue, Lee Tannehill, George Robe,
George Davis, Billy Sullivan. Fielder
Jones, Dougherty and Hahn had plenty
of speed. knew their inside play like
a book and in most pinches could be
depended upon to come through with
enough good plays to score at the right
moments.
In every other instance where a team
has won championship in the majors
the batters as u whole have been un-
| usually strong and did not have to de-
pend on the pitchers to keep them in
the running more than half of the
time. Nevertheless a number of clubs
! have endeavored to emulate the ex
ample of the White Sox, but they al
ways have come to grief.-Ed A. Goe
wey in Leslies.

Team work on the part of the ex-
ecutive departments at Washington
appears to be singularly lacking in
emergency, which is just the time it
is most needed. Officials of the de
partments of state and commerce pre-
pared and promulgated last week neu-
trality instructions so rigid in their
requirements as to evoke a prompt pro-
test from Great Britain. That was
enough of course to throw the state
department into confusion, and the see

An Excellent Shanpoo,

The following is a recipe for sham
poo that will make the hair fluffy and
easy to dress: Take half a cake of
white CASTLE soap. shave it up finely
and boil in a pint of water until it
jellies. Allow it to become cool; then
beat up the yolks of three eggs and
add them to the soap jelly with tea
spoonful of eau de cologne. Shampoo
the hair in the usual way, rubbing the
mixture well into the scalp and rinsing
out with soft water.
