season. The famous Dutchman will
permanently retire at the end OF this

Cubs, will report to Leader Bezdek

TIGERS MAY SHOW
FLAG WINNER IN
WHITE SOX GAMES
By LOUIS A. DoUGHER.


Seven vicious battles with the
Ferocious Felines Of Detroit may
decide for the Chicago White Sox
whether or not they are to
achieve the honor Of winning the
1917 championship in the American
League and defend the Johnsonian
banner against the National League
titleholder.
Sunday a double-header must be
played at Chicago. On Monday,
Labor Day, comes morning and
afternoon games. It is possible that
the advantageous lead over the
Boston Red Sox may be lost to the
White Sox by the time. the shades
of night fall upon the holiday.
In Detroit the White Sox are due
TO appear for three gaines in two
days. September Il and 10, necessitat-
ing a doubie-header. This will be an
other strain upon the Chicago pitch
ing staff, for the Tigers sluggers are
simply numbering opponents these
days. Following those games in the
Jungle, the White Sox start East for
their fnal swing, opening at Phila-
delphia-
Red sox Battle Tanks.
While the White Sox sre tackling
the Ferocious Felines, the Red sox
will be battling the disintegrated
Yankees, after finishing a short series
with the Mackmen. The odds are all
on the champions to emerge from the
scramble much closer to the leaders
than they are now.
In the fifteen games played to date,
the White Sox have won ten from the
Tigers, but Jennings team is now
hitting up q fast pace, and 1t Is
doubtful IL the Comiskeyites can con-
tinue this percentage in the seven
games yet to be played.
Detroit is being backed to win at
least three of these victories, II not
four. II the Red Sox can succeed in
tumbling the Mackmen and the
Yankees in the dust, both Soxes
should be once more neck and neck
before the Chicagoans land in the
East.
Pitchers Are Strained.
The White Sox are rushing ahead
at a tremendous expense Of their
pitching strength. Chicago writers
are scoldIng Rowland for having his
pitchers warming up every day,
knowing the evil effects OF such tao
tics. But that has always been the
way OF Cominsly's teams and the
1917 stan may manage to hang on.
Since August set in the White Sox
have far surpassed the worlds
champions. They have maintained a
winning clip Of .704, as against $50
for the worlds champions.
Some mathematical shark has
figured II out that II the White Sox
merely win half OF their remaining
twenty-six games. they will finish
with a mark OF GIG. and that the
Red SoX must win twenty OF their
remaining thirty-two games to finish
.614 In other words. the Red Sox
must attain $40 gait down to the
end to defeat the White Sox, even IL
the latter win but one more than half
Of their remaining contests.

WORK AMONG THE FLOWERS
By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

Let the hedge take the place of fence where possible about the home grounds. If the fence is imperative. let it be hidden by drapery of vines -honeysuckle Is the best permanent vine.
 California privet leads the hedge plants in popularity; then comes bar berry, Japanese quince, althea. buck thorn and some varieties of roses. For utility the osage orange.
 Don't forget that rotation in the flower beds Is as necessary us in the fields and gardens.
 Go over the lawn and if you find moss rake it out. Cut well below the crowns of the dandelions and plantain. If possible topdress the lawn with leaf mold or thoroughly rotten straw or ma nure.
 The continuous Towering border recommends itself to the busy house. wife who wants lot of flowers and who has but little time to give them. Prepare il border two or two and one half feet wide and spade 1t two feet deep, enrich it with well-rotted ma nure. Into this border plant all sorts of annuals, perennials and bulbs, pIac- ing the tall growing ones in the back row and the short ones along the edge of the border. As the years pass, the border will grow in beauty and bloom ten months in the year-almost.
 If you have q tree around the place that is dying and you want to renew it's youth, plant woodbine at its base and in a very few years the tree will be covered with foliage and have way ing banners more beautiful than in its prime of life.
 You must dig deeply and thoroughly If early crops of flowers or vegetables are wanted. No matter what the tex ture of the soil, light or heavy. 1t is always improved by spadng deeply.

 Unfortunately, the dealers are not always honest, and it is just as we'll to avoid buying such dogs from street vendors and other nonresponsible per sons. The animals may not be ex- actly what they seem.
 The color specially desired for a Pekinese is a delicate shade of brown. Dogs of this kind are of various hues ; but an interruptions dealer finds no serious difficulty in making them brown, to match any shade. He simply dips doggy into pail of hydrogen per oxide few times until his coat is well bleached and then dyes him, by like means, to the fashionable tint.
