the American league this year and his
problem settles down to his pitching
staff. Here is where the IF" comes
in.
Foil will rely on Morton, Joe Wood,
Coveleskie and Jim Bagby to do the
major part of his pitching this year.
IF they hold up, If Wood is right
and nobody knows now whether he is
or not-IF Morton RECEIVERS his arm,
IF Coveleski and Bagby can stand
the strain, Foil will have a wonderful
ball club.
As reserves Foil has Joe Boehling.
Coumbe. Hlepfer, Smith and Gould,
who were with club last year. Three
youngsters are also trying out-Petty.
Dickerson and Lambeth. Lambeth
was with the club a short time last
year.
Fohl's other problem is at first base.
Guisto. who was a sensational hitter
on the coast last year. has the best
chance for thejob, but in my opinion,
Marty Cavanaugh will likely hold
down the sack before the year is over.
Harris. a yougster, also has chance
to draw the initial bag.
Otherwise the team is the same that
took the field last year. O'Neill,
Daley and Billings will be the catch.
ers. Wamby probably will be at sec.
ond, Chapman at short. and Terry
Turner at third, Roth. Speaker and
Graney will make up the outfield.

At the Close OF Day.

The twilight hour now is mere,
And the little birds we hear
1'witt'ring as they 90 to rest
Knowing that they've done their best.
May not we, at set of sun,
Feel that We some good have done?
Like the birds whose song we hear,
Sing with gladness and good cheer?
Others, too, who've heard our song,
May be forgetful of each wrong,
And as the sun sinks in the west.
Find calm and peaceful rest.

Chapel March oad.

Inc students from the West Vir-
ginia University School of Music have
appeared quite often at the high
school in the last few years and have
rendered some very entertaining pro-
grams. Last Friday at the chanel
period a program OF this kind was
given by four representatives of the
university. Many that this program
was the best that had yet been given
here by the w. V. L. students.
Another feature of the chapel pro-
sram was the cheering cup" which
was won by the Fairmont high fans
at the Buckhannon tournament. The
presentation speech was made by
Fuzzy" knight, the cheer leader.
The president of the student council,
Howard Wadsworth. accepted it on
rehalf of tho high school. Fairmont

ership of the cup permanent by win

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want TO keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash II with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkal This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsiiied CO.
coanut oil (Which is pure and entirely
greaseles0, Is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing as this
cant possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub il in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance OF rich, creamy
lather, and cleanscs the hair and scalp
thoroughly The lather rinscs out EASILY
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and Il
leaves Il fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
