GOOD TREATMENT
FOR OILY SCkLPs
Makes Hair Fluffy and Easy
to Manage

Men and women whose hair and
scalp are excessively oily have hard
work keeping their hair in good CON
dition. Dust and dirt mingle with
dandruff, cling to the oily hair and
scalp, clog the scalp pores, stifie the
hair roots and make proper cleansing
almost impossible.
Partisan Sage is an ideal treatment
for this trouble Wash the hair not
oftener than once a week, but use
Partisan Sage twice daily, pouring a
little into the parted hair and rub
bing brisi1ly right into the scalp with
the finger tips. It drives out dan
druff, dissolves the excess oil and slim
ulates the scalp into healthy normal
action. This simple remedy can be OBJ
tanned from Wilfred F. Root or any
drug counter and is very inexpensive.

COBB NOT YET AT CAMP.
Famous Hitter Not to Report for
Some Days Yet.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
GULFPORT, Miss, March S-One
weeks work at the Tigers training
camp has ended. It's chief purpose has
been to get the recruits into good trim
and to allow Jennings a chance to look
them over a little before the main
squad troops in.
John Peters. the husky youth who
was snatched from the Grand Forks
team of the Northern League, has made
a profound impression by his throwing.
He gets the ball away fast and throws
it low and accurately.
Ten men are expected to report be-
tween now and Monday morning;
eleven was the number. but Ross Rey-
nolds hoped into town this morning
and Immediately donned a uniform.
The other men are Coveleskie. Veach.
Barns, Baker. Jacobson. Oldham, Witt,
Young, Kavanagh and Moriarty.
Cobb will not be hero for some days.
One thing Is certain-the pitchers
and catchers have had an all-round
workout this week. Jennings has la
bored with them at batting, fielding
and running, and even has forced the
pitchers to use the sliding pit.
There will be regular team practice
by Wednesday. at the latest. and the
exhibition sason opens at New Orleans
next Saturday.

HERz0G IS HOPEFUL
Enthuses Over Chances of
Reds in Pennant Race.
SCHNEIDER SHOWS FORM
Sensational Start Again Predicted
for Team Which Finished
Last in 1914.
Special Dispatch to Tho Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA,, La, March MAN
ager Herzog of the Cincinnati Reds. in
training here, is bubbling over with
enthusiasm over the Reds chances i'll
the National League pennant race this
season.
Part of this enthusiasm is due to the
fine showing of Pete Schneider. the big
riRht-hand pitcher of the Red aggre-
cation.
Just as husky as they make them.
this youngster promises to be the
pitching sensation of the season.
Unlike other hurlers. Schneider is
not compelled to go through the pre-
liminary work of getting into shape.
He reported at training headquarters
in midseason form, and today was
burning them across the pan as though
he were twirling in deciding game OF
world series.
This sort of work on Schneider's part
is taken by Herzog to mean that ag-
gregation will get just the kind OF
pitching that is needed to put their
batting eyes in f1rst-class shape
Expect Good Start.
The Reds promise to get away this
season IN the same SeHSdtIOHdi HAL
ner as in the 1914 season. But Herzog
is confident they will stay near the
top. Last year. he says. it was differ
ent. He had an inferior club, trained
better than the other teams. The re-
suit was great getaway and fine ball
while the team held up. But after that
1t was good night.
This year, however, with much bet
ter team. and getting into better shape
than last year, Herzog says he will
stick in the race.
The infield has been decided upon.
Mollwitz will play first base. He was
with the Reds part of last season and
forced to retire on account of injuries.
Critics say he is the best man the Reds
had around first base in many years.
Groh is slated for second base. Her
zog will cavort at short and Won Kol-
nitz. the Carolina lawyer. will hold
down third.
Herzog will use wingo. the catcher
obtained from St Louis Cardinals, in
the outfield, if he develops, otherwise
he will send him behind the bat.
Gonzales, the Cuban catcher, has not
reported, but Is expected in few
days.
