SHINE BALL TO
 GO BY THE BOARDS.

The shine ball'' probably will be barred from the world series frolic. And thereby hangs a tale of sadness for the White Sox rooter, who fig ure that their favorites will win the American League banner.
 Danforth and Cicotte are the mainstays of the White Sox hurling division. Should the Chicagoans carry the Johnsonian standard into the big Octozer show, it is certain that these two pitchers will be call ed upon to perform the bulk of the defensive work. And minus the "shine ball." which has been their main stock-in-trade throughout the season, they do not loom up quite as formidable as they have earlier in the year.
 Just the other day Ban Johnson abolished the shine ball" There is no rule in the National League which prohibits the use of this pitching trick, but always in a world series conflict the rules that govern one league usually hold good for the other. Should the National League request that the shine ball'' be prohibited from the blue ribbon event it is certain that the request will be granted. And it is more than likely that the Giant owners will engineer such a request.

"U" COACH TO CUT OUT OPEN STYLE OF PLAY.

Coach Claude J. Hunt, director of athletics at the University of Wash ington, unfolded his portly bulk the other day, assumed his almost per petual smile and said he didn't know any more about football condi- tions at the university for the com ing year than anybody else did. Eventually, however, like all great coaches, he "opened up" and said he was willing to bet this was going to be one of the biggest sport seasons the institution has ever seen.
 "We are only sure of three men and we're not certain of them," said the coach. "I am going to get the men on the field just as soon as school opens and they are going to stay there until the last game is played. The men will be trained for the Whitman game right off the jump I feel that this game is go- ing to be one of our hardest. I am going to play straight football Vir- tually all institutions are cutting out these fluffy plays and are get ting back to bucking the line"
 Freshman prospects look good, ac- cording to Hunt. Seventy to eighty per cent. of the usual enrolment are expected and 100 per cent. of the men are going to turn out for some form of sport, he said. Archie Carlson, assistant coach, will arrive in Seattle some time this week and will then start out on his scouting tour.
 "We want everybody to come to school and make this one of the big seasons" said the coach. "Ath letics is going to be one of the main features of college. Although we are only going to have three old men back that is enough to work on. The three men are Gardner, Tidball and Daily, all good men. At the present there is no punter in sight, but have played for four years without one, so I can surely get along now. The faculty, the students and everybody is going to boost sports and 1 believe that there will be more men turning out than ever in the past.

TWO OLD SLABMEN IN MAJOR LEAGUES WITH PLANK GONE.

With Eddie Plank on the retired list, there are but two veteran slabmen remaining in the big show today who rank close to him in point of service. They are Chief Bender, now with the Phillies, and Leon Ames of the Cardinals. Plank's retirement marked finis to career of nearly seventeen years as a ma ior league pitcher. He broke into the majors in 1901. Chief Bender made his debut as a big league twirler in 1903. Ames followed in 1904, and both have played with big league teams continuously. Jack Coombs, a former teammate of both Plank and Bender, is serving his twelfth year and Walter Johnson is in his eleventh season with Wash ington.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, BeautifuI--No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at firstAyes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is sas pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots Of it if you will just try lit.

and replaced them in his coat with q
sigh. At dawn he set off again for
COrydOn.
But Cranmer tottered back into his
| daughters room with the face Of a
dead man. "It's all up!" he cried
in a CHASTITY whisper. 81 mxss get
away from here tonight There's only
one chance to win yet-you'll have
to stay here, my girl; I'll see Scull
| tonight and set him upon this Lar
renee; and if he succeeds in getting
the plans back, you. are to bring them
on to me at Detroit. God, how came he
to suspect! You-did you-no, you're
true! Goodby! Do as I bid you,
Goodby! Scull will be over soon
he'll take care Of you. I'm glad you
are soon to be married"
He strained the weeping girl to his
breast and hurried away. A boat
! across the foaming river and a
stumble through the dark brought him
to Scull's door. A cautious tattoo
summoned the man from his bed and
the story was told, while terror
seemed to fix it's icy hands more and
more deeply in Cranmer's throat with
every hurrying moment. Scull looked
at his white face and exulted secretly
at his collapse. A seeming contempt
for the man before whom he had so
often cringed filed his heart. "And
what do you expect me to dol" ne
asked coldly.
A flash of his old turbulence re-
turned to Cranmer. "Do?" he whis-
pered hoarsely. "There's but one thing
for you to do, my pretty man. You
will have to get those plans back from
that skulking rackabones. It's your
own business how. Then give them to
Lydia. You may think you've done a
fine thing in giving up the work that
you came here to do, but I promise
you that England has a long arm.
You'll not escape if you fail u.s."
Scull shrank again from his menac-
ing gesture. His abject protestations
of faithfulness fell hastily from his
trembling lips, and the spy, with a
growl Of satisfaction, stole out again
into the dark and silent night.

An old Australian farmer visited his
daughter, who had antimacassars on
the backs of her chairs. AS he was
sitting by the window, he spied the
minister coming to visit "Jean," as she
was called AS she went to answer the
door, her father, not being accustomed
to such f1nery, snatched all the anti

them under the table.

toward them gravely, with the proud
dignity he had worn since the day she
had refused his love. She heard a
voice speaking-was it her own?
"I have brought Mr.. Blackford to
be a witness between u.s."
The two young men looked at the
girl in silent wonder. She swept on
in the cold torrent of her resolution,
checking their unspoken question
with uplifted hand:
"We have known you but a little
while, Mr.. Laurence. You have made
your home among us; we have taken
you into our friendship. You have pre-
tended to become an American; we
have trusted you, befriended you, be-

lieved in you. And you have repaid
us The coiled snake from which you
saved me was less vile! Oh, do not
forget what you did! 1t is that which
makes what you have done all the
more terrible. I owe you my life. You
might have had it, If you had chosen.
But you have chosen instead the lives
of all these people in the Wilderness
these settlers, these men who have
never harmed you, these women, these
little children. To betray them, who
have only loved you, who have been
your friends! To give them into the
hands of England and to the knives

Her voice broke. At her first words
Blackford's face had taken on an ex-
preston of amazement, which grew
deeper and deeper as he listened and
glanced from one to the other Of his
two friends. Now, as her voice fal-
tered his astonishment broke out:
''Toinette, in heavens name, what is
| the matter?"
She answered wearily, listlessly, her
voice sinking to whisper, so that
she seemed like an exhausted bird
that is scarcely able to skim above
the waves Of the sea:
| "He has been here as a British spy !"
Blackford started, then laughed in
credulOusly.
'Toinette, you're joking!"
But she buried her face in her hands
and spoke through sobs that shook
her from head to foot.
ooh, if it were not true! {.
| Ask him.
Blackford turned to David. His
Toinette's first rush of reproach and
now leaned against the low counter,
trembling, pale as one who has re-
ceived a mortal wound. The shock
of her accusation coming on the heels
of the very moment when he had
isked his life to confront Cranmer,
stunned him.
Only his high, indignant pride rose
against the sorry riddle-a stubborn
pride which bade him listen to her
wild charge in silence, holding himself
in his angry conceit above the violence
Of contradicting her, above STOPPING

rel. Blackford, striving to pierce be-
meath the mask Of that white, tense
| face and the inscrutable eyes, cried
! out in alarm at David'S silent accept
ance of her words.
''It's not true, is it, David? My
/ God, it can't be true!'
David was silent.
| Blackford tried to laugh off his own
alarm:
"You two are playing some silly joke
on me, of course. All right-Pll own
you gulled me. Satisfied, Toinette?"
Toinette threw back her head proud
ly. The blue eyes that had so often
danced with merriment were blazing
sapphires.
Search him, Mr.. Blackford," her
voice rang out. Il do not doubt but
you will find evidence enough to sat
isfy you'll"
Ike's eyes looked into those of his
friend with a passion of pleading for
denial. But David's voice answered
evenly, coldly:
'"There is no need to search. I pre-
sumo that these papers are the ones
which Miss O'Bannon wishes"
And with steady fingers he unfas-
tened his coat and waistcoat, and,
while Blaekford gazed in horror, SLOW
ly drew out the packet of papers he
had wrested from Cranmer. He put
them in likes hands and bowed to Toi-
nette with touch of irOnic courtesy.
"You will find them all there" he
said.
