Use Plenty of Soap.

Newport, r. l., August l2--Be-
cause they use too much water and
too little soap women do not get
the same dazzling Wilderness in
their washed clothes as do the
United States Marines, Sergeant
Clarence D. Rhoades of the Ma
rine Corps told party of society
women visiting the battleship Utah
today.
"The eye-paining brilliance of
our white clothes is due to the fact
that we wash with our heads as
we'll as our hands, and we let soap
do it's proper share of the work.
just enough water to thoroughly
wet the wash is sufficient" the SER
geant continued, "and the less wa
ter and more soap one uses the
whittier the washing will turn out"
The fair visitors seemed greatly
impressed with the lesson given
them in an art that is dear to every
woman's heart.

CAMDEN WINS
OVER IRRELEVANT
(BY KENo)

The Clubbers won their third
straigbtfrom Trezevant last Thurs
day, as stated in The Chronicle
Friday morning, after fifteen in
ming battle by the score of 2 to l..
1t was the greatest pitchers battle
that has ever been played in Cam
den and probably the greatest in
West Tennessee. There was not
an earned run throughout the
game. Mitchell, for the visitors,
gave up eight hits, walked one man
and struck out l6, while our own
Arnold allowed six hits, hit one
man and struck out Ii. Arnold's
support was gilt-edge, while Mitch
ellis wavered in the fifteenth, when
Galloway's wild chuck allowed
Clyde Fry to cross the platter with
the winning run, which was his
second for the day. Clyde had
quite busy day, getting one hit,
stealing base and scoring run.
The home team scored in the
third frame, when Clyde Fry sim
gled to center, stealing second,
from whence he rode home on a
scratch hit through the box by
Luke Davis and an error by the
second baseman. Trezevant tied
it in hard knot in the seventh,
when Mitchell singled through
short and Blanks, who was run
ing for the pitcher, went to second
when Arnold folded Hillsman's
hit too slow to get double, and
scored moment later when Luke's
peg went wild on Marshall's hit to
center. Never after that did the
visitors threaten to score, except in
the eleventh, when Blanks got his
third hit of the game, went to Sec
ond on Fuqua's sacrifice and tried
to score when Utley and Arnold
ran together under Hillsman's fly,
but Utley recovered in time to
smother him at the plate.
Bugs and Legs led their team
mates in hitting, the former getting
three out of six times up and the
latter two out of five times. Legs
also led in stolen bases, being able
to get two off Marshall, who is a |
good young catcher. Luke pulled
two pretty fieldingsplays in center,
once cutting Blanks offiat second
on what seemed a sure double, and
in the twelfth he captured a Texas
Lacquer from Mitchell's bat after a
great run. "Peck" Utley, who is q
pitcher by trade, saved a hit in the
ninth, when he raced across third
grabbed Walkers slam with one
hand and threw the feet footed

Fry had big day at short, where
he had ten chances Mccullough

day at first, as did Hassell in right.
