Season SURPRISES
WORK OF PITCHERS
Clubs Whose HurlerS Are
in Best Shape, Lead
Leagues
MORAN FIGURED
HIS GAME RIGHT

That pitching has more to do with
the rise and achievements of a base
ball club that anything else is be-
ing pretty we'll demonstrated this
season. The ability and headwork of
the Phillies hurlers. It is conceded,
has placed that National League top
liner in the lead. while Il Is also
agreed in critic and fandom that the
poor work of Mack's moundsmen is
what is keeping the Athletics at the
foot of the American League class.
Because of losses TO the Feds"
and trades in which he was thought
TO have secured the worst of the bar
gain. Pat Moran was believed to have
very ordinary ball club when the
season started. Pat. however, figured
that the team that had its pitchers in
shape at the start of the campaign
had the lead on its rivals, and the
great winning streak of the Phillies
has shown he WIS right. When the
bell rang Pat had Alexander, a great
pitcher; Mayer, very promising
youngster, and RiXey. a phenom when
right, on edge. A week later he add
ed Chalmers. thought TO be a has
been. With these four Moran has
fought his way INTO tho lead
That the Phillies are leading is
not because they are a great team,
for they sare not. II is because the
pitchers are in shape.
In the West the Cubs are showing
the way. Why? Because Roger Bres-
nahan has his pitchers, some of whom
were of little account a year ago,
going like a Rudolph-James-Tyler
combination.
The same condition of affairs exists
in the American League. Detroit,
New York and Chicago are the lead
ing teams. Detroit began the season
with three pitchers, Dauss, Boland
and Dubuc, ready TO pitch world SER
les stuff. Right from the start this
trio was able to pitch shut-out ball.
True they had Cobb, Crawford, and
Veach to bat in the runs for them,
hut the article of pitching they have
displayed would have won games that
did not have to have the hitting pow
er of the Tigers.
The Chicago pitchers we're on edge
when the season started as the result
of an extensive training trip taker
to the coast. True, the SoX lost foul
games in a row to the Tigers aftel
dropping two to the Browns, but tha'
was. because of Chicago erring at crit
] ical moments Now. with the mistake!
somewhat eliminated. the Sox are
making a harum scarlm race for the
pennant.
As for the Yankees. they were
blessed with the best training canI
weather of any big league team, anc
they were the last major team to Sc
lect quarters in Dixie. Because oi
the favorable weather conditions
Donovan was able to get his pitch
ing staff into the best Of condition
before his other eastern rivals were
ready. The Boston pitchers showed
miserable form when the battle open
ed, but have gradually been coming
into condition and from now must be
considered very dangerous.
/ But the fact remains that the five
clubs whose pitchers were in the best
shape are in the lead in the two big
/ leagues.

75s BASES ON BALLS.

It has been remarked frequently
that the Athletics pitchers possess an
unusual amount of talent. and that
the pitching staff should be one of the
best in the country. Some people can
not understand why it is that the Ath-
letics are losing so many games with
these same pitchers. but all that is
necessary to find out just where the
trouble lies is to take a glance at the
bases on balls given.
For some reason there has been an
epidemic of wildness in the American
League this season, while the Nation
al League pitching has been unusu-
ally consistent. In other seasons the
National League possessed many "Wild
men," but this year there have been
less than $50 free passes given in
Tener's circuit, while exactly 752
bases on balls have been issued by
American League pitchers to date.

DAINTIEST COSTUME
 OF THE SEASON
Will Lose It's Effect Unless the Hair
 is Pretty and Properly Dressed.

The woman who looks to clothes for her charm and attractiveness is likely to find her most expensive outfit a fail ure if she has thin, faded or lifeless hair. The most beautiful evening gown will appear doWdy and out of style unless crowned with a head of pretty hair, soft, fluffy and lustrous.
 Beautiful hair does not just happen to be so, but is always a matter of care and proper hourishment of the hair roots. No matter how unsightly the hair, how badly it is falling, or how much dandruif, Parisian Sage, an inexpensive tonic. well rubbed into the scalp, is all that is ever needed. The hair roots are nourished and stimulat- ed to grow new hair. Even Gandruf is entirely removed with one applica- ton, and itching scalp and falling hair cease; the hair will be bright, vigorous, soft and fluffy.
 If the hair is oily. dry. brittle. or you have dandruff, PariSian Sage i'm mediately removes the cause, and by toning up the scalp quickly restores the thair to it's original brilliancy and yigor,
 parisian Sage can be had from The Lee $ Osgood Co.,, or any drug or toilet counter. rt is q delightful and harmless treatment that never fails to act as real and lasting benefit to the hair and scalp.
