The Jack Rabbit coaitcr, which
will be the feature attraction at Lake
view, Omaha's newest amusement
park, is fast nearing completion. This
style OF coaster is the newest thing
in park devices in the country and is
being built by a Philadelphia firm.
The Jack Rabbit has been installed
in several OF the larger parks OF
the country and has proved immense
ly popular from the very first. 1t
is said that this form of coaster is
far more thrilling and fascinating
than the Figure Eight which is
quite well known to park patrons.
The ride in itself is vastly different
from other coasters with the cxcep-

RISBERG HAS NERVE-DOESNT
FALTER IN PINCH
BY Mark Shields

j
During yesterdays game with
Cleveland, during which the White
SOX fielding was porous on nUmer-
Gus occasions, there were some cries
from the stand for Zeb Terry when
Swede Risberg, the new shortstop,
was in difficulty.
These, of course, were changed to
yelps of adUlation for the new Short
fielder when he opened the ninth in
ming with screaming triple and
scored the only run of the game on
Eddie Collins sacrifice fly. The hit p
made Swede a hero and his fielding
mistakes we're forgotten. Such is
the humor of a baseball crowd.
But previous to this hit Risberg
had showed his fitness to hold down
his Job. In the seventh inning a ball
vent through him with a man on
second. Il was scored a hit, but
could have been as fairly labeled a
boot. Then in the eighth Risberg
booted another with Speaker on first
with two out and gave the Indians a
big opening.
But on the very next pitch Guisto
hit sharply and deep to short. The
ball required quick and accurate
handling. All of which Risberg did,
retiring the side with a rife-like
throw to Gandil. He had forgotten
all about the previous boots. They
didn't weigh on his mind and affect
his playing.
This is one of the true tests of
courage and Risberg stood it as well
as a veteran of many campaigns.
Cleveland has a good BALL team
this season and one that will make
its power felt before the end of the
flag hunt Jim Scott had them puz-
zled at the bat, even though his sup
port was slipshOd, but the Cleveland
people were in no mood to quit. They

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

II is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently II it is
entirely and properly cleansed
each time by the use of a really
good shampoo. The easiest to use
and quickest drying shampoo that
we can recommend to our readers
is one that brings out all the nat
ural beauty of the hair and may
be enjoyed at very little expense,
by dissolving teaspoonful of can
throX, which can be obtained from
any druggist, in cup of hot wa
ter. This makes full cup OF
shampoo liquid, enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead of Just the top of the head.
This when rubbed into the scalp
and onto every strand of hair,
chemically dissolves all impuri-
ties. 1t is very soothing and cool
ing in its action, as we'll as bene-
fetal to both scalp and hair. Aft
err rinsing out the lather so Great
ed. you will find the scalp is
fresh, clean and free from dan
druff, while the hair dries quick
ly and evenly, developing a bright
luster and soft fluffiness that
makes it seem very heavy.
