OLD MAN EXPERIENCE HANDED
SEVERE JOLT BY MATHEWSON,
JACK COOMBS AND BABE ADAMS
By GRANTLAND RICE

ENPER1ENCE is supposed TO play a
IL leading part IN winning sport. The
experienced entry always is supposed TO
have the jump. II was mainly for this rea-
son that Marquard and Coombs were figured
as BroolIlyn's leading world series hopes
They had been over the lofty hurdles before
and therefore were supposed TO know the
proper way. Yet the vital statistics in the
matter fail to carry this theory on TO
logical conclusion.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition. the less soap you use the
better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much~a1kah. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified CO.
coanut oil (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless). Is much better than soap
or anything else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance OF rich.
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves 1t fine and silky,
h::sht fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get muIsified cocoanut oil at

cheap, and a few ounces IL enough to

KILBANE and DUNDEE
WANT Big BANK roll
Scrappers Ask for Huge Sum to Meet
for Third Time.

Promoting ginks in the Gotham dis
trict are trying to sic Messrs. Kilbane
and Dundee upon each other. The brace
of Johnnies are willing-for a price. And.
as Bill Shakafewspears said: There's
the rub"
Kilbane wants a sum equivalent to a
large portion of John DIS fortune; Dun
dee wants the crown jewels of Italy. And
there you are-or they are.
Another fight between the two would
be worth the price of admission, provid-
ed C. Hercules Ebbets didn't stage the
bout. Twice before have they clashed. in
the days when Dundee was battling in
the feather division. The first scrap was
in New York, September 4. 1872 over the
ten-round route, with Kilbane having a
shade at the conclusion.
The second meeting caused quite a stir.
1t happened in San Francisco on April q,
1913. After thirty rounds of slam-bang
work, the referee called 1t a draw, while
huge gobs of spectators rose right up and
shrieked denunciations. They were Of
the opinion that the decision-and with 1t
the title-should have gone to Dundee
The Italian scrapper and his manager
thought so, too, and walled loudly-but In
vain.
KiIbane still is a legitimate feather
weight. whine Dundee has grown into a
lightweight. But Kilbane announces:
''I don't care what Dundee weighs; I'll
take him on II I get the price.

new SYSTEM FOR The
SINDAY bike RACE
Winner Will Be Decided on Points
Scored Each Night.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE six-day bike
Iace. starting this season will be en-
tirely different from all others the town
has snored at. Conditions for the long
whirl on rubber tires have been changed
to revive interest in the old sport of
cycling. Next weeks grind around the
oval track will be a series of sprints.
There will be a Berlin finish every night,
and the winning team will be decided
on points figured up every night until
the finish. There will be attempts at lap
stealing during the day and sprints at
night. and between the two the bike fans
will find it hard to catch forty winks.
Fourteen teams, the pick of the pro-
fessional riders, will start on their
weeks journey one minute after mid
night. Several other pairs sent in their
entries. but Manager Chapman decided
to keep the field at fourteen teams to
insure speedy riding. And It Is a
certainty the bikers will burn up the
track, for they are to share in the re-
Cepits. This is the first time in the
history of New York six-day races that
the riders were allowed to cut in Oh
the gate money. This time the riders
will receive 30 per cent Of the gross re-
ceipts as their rewards for pedaling their
machines six days and nights.

JOKER IN CONTRACT
Of MAJOR PLAYERS
Clause Reads Players Released by Big
Leagues Must Accept Minor
Salary.

New York, Dec. 16-National League
magnates do not intend to give the Play
ers Fraternity a chance to hang any
thing on their Christmas tree that looks
like strike If they can help It.
Before their meeting came to a peace
full close after four days Of restful con-
temptation Of several subjects the vet
eran leaguers discovered that there Ia a
joker in the new form of players con-
trRct and they ordered it sent back to
the factory and revamped.
Garry Hermann and several of his coil
leagues explain that there Is a clause
which reads that when a player fs re-
leased to the minors by a major league
club he must accept a minor league
salary Such a clause as this would
send Dave Fultz to the top Of the Wool
worth Building with a speech forty miles
long, and the wise old National League
doesn't want any trouble So the new
form of contract will be remodeled be-
fore it is acceptable to Governor Tener's
Ihenchmen.
Most Of the National League mag
mates are headed for their homes TODAY
after spending nearly a week in session
and accomplishing very little. The sign
Ing Of Mitchell by the Cubs was the SEN
saton Of the meeting. Barney Dreyfuss'
AohS OAPoSCCu CANNON cracker which was
to have been exploded under the dieni-
fed chair Of Garry Hermann, proved
nothing but f1ivver. Barney had his
say, but the trouble was that no one
else would say anything along the same
line and the conversation Jagged.
James e. Gaffney, former owner of
the Boston Braves, Is on the trail of the
