A. {. TO
PLAY Masked MARVELS

Confidence IS prevalent in the Peer
less camp that they Will scalp the
meteorio Masked Marvels of Chicago
when they meet next Sunday some
where in Indiana Harbor. With the
team materially strengthened by the
addition of "Brochy" Madura. famous
Gopher fullback. the Peerless expect an
easy victory over the Marvels. Not
only is the team strengthened physical
" but also mentally, for with this ath-
lete behind the plate a more even ball
ance is secured He has a splendid
throw. a sure eye and above all an &C
tive attitude while in action. His un-
usual ability coupled with his daring
will be the initiative 70 many victories
and he will more than retrieve the sharp
sting of last Sundays defeat, which
was partly lost through the errors oc-
curing around the catchers box

NEW YORK. Aug. 15-Beginning
right now the White Sox will have to
play the best ball they so far have dis
played if they manage to get into the
worlds series. Finishing the series
with Cleveland they will go home for a
stay until Sept. 3. when they play a
doubleheader with Detroit. Then they
hit the road for the rest of the season.
with the exception Of three days sched-
uled at home. They manage to slip in
some postponed contests on off days in
that period. but they will not be enough
to count for much.
During the same period the White
Sox are at home the Red Sox will be on
their last big trip. although they are
scheduled for a short wing later. Boston
will finish the season at home. a fact
which is a decided advantage for Jack
Barry's men. There still are left two
clashes between the two clubs. one at
Chicago and one al Boston. The latter
may be the series that will decide the
the race. for it viii be PLAYED in the

NEW YORK Aug. 16.-Whether Ty
Cobb is losing his title as king of base
BALI players isn't entirely demonstrated
by his tremendous batting average for
the year On a recent visit to New
York Cobb, besides doing most of the
baseball hammering. pulled a play or
two that by sheer audacity simply stun
ned Yankees and spectators alike.
Ty had driven out a home run and
then had singled. He went to second
base. and when veach reached frs$ base
the two of them worked double steal.
leaving Cobb on third and Veach on sec
ond. On a ball hit to the inield by
Burns. Cobb sprinted for the plate and
Veach for third. Cobb saw he couldn't
make it and easily beat Walters throw
10 third. only to find that Veach was
there also.
Walters completely lost his head and.
dashing to third. he tagged both run
ners. putting veach out. Then he saw
Burns wildly footing il for second. and.
forgetting the plate was unoccupied.
whipped the ball to second to get Burns.
That was Cobbs cue. Like a fash he
was up and off. He was within ten feet
of the plate before Walters knew what
was going on. and scored with no
trouble.
Sam Crawford, the Detroit veteran,
did not make the last trip east Hugh
Jennings has decided 70 keep him out of
the game for all time, reserving him
only for pinch hitting duty
Connie Mack recently declared that
Cruise and Hornsby of the Cardinals
are the finest looking young players in
baseball He predicted that Hornsby
eventually would attain the same de-
gree of excellence voted Jack Barry.
Dave Robertson IS back as a regular
in the Giant outheld. in spite Of the
good start made by Joe Wilhoit. who
was sent in to MI Robertson's place.
Chuck Workman Of the Cubs seems
doomed for the minors. or else mere
utility Unfolding duty for the Cubs. His
fielding of the feshiest sensational
sort, may hold him in the majors, but
his hitting is too woefully weak TO be
considered. Pete Kilduff recently OBJ
tanned from the Giants. is a far better
hitter. and excellent hielder and fast
base-runner.

Every eastern club and two from the

Harry Greb of Pittsburgh is rapidly
forging to the front as a logical man
to meet Nike Gibbons. His recent
defeat of Jack Dillon and subsequent
brilliant performances give him an
edge over any boxer now clamoring

poncs indefinitely Proposed Plnn
of Dissolution.

The proposed dissolution of the vir-
ginia Navigation Company. which
stockholders were called to consider
, about two weeks ago and adjourned
without taking any action, has been
indefinitely postponed, according to adj
vices received yesterday by Christie
pher e. Garnett, chairman of the State
Corporation Commission The commits
sion was Informed that the company
had postponed it's contemplated appli-
cation for dissolution.
Patrons of the Virginia Navigation
Company. a subsidiary concern of the
Old Dominion Steamship Company,
strongly protested against It's dissolu-
ton. because such action would mean
the suspension of the transportation
facilities on the James River now sup
piled by the day line. From many
points along the river the commission
received letters protesting against the
curtailmcnt Of service, because practi-
cally all of these communities were
without other facilities
1t was generally understood las,
night that the Virginia Navigation
Company will shortly file with the
State Corporation Commission a petit
ton requesting that it be allowed to
increase it's freight rates. The COM
pany's dissolution is believed to be
dependent on the commissions action
on this petition, since the statement
has been made that the transportation
company has been operating for some
time at loss.

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is well
kept to judge OF woman's neat
ness. or good taste. If you are one
of the few who try to make the
most OF your hair. remember that it
is not advisable to wash the hair
with any cleanser made for all pur-
poses. but always use some good
preparation made expressly for
shampooing. You can enjoy the
very best by getting some canthrox
from your, druggist. dissolve tea
spoonful In cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup Of shampoo
liquid, enough SO 1t is easy to an

softness will also delight you, while
the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth

heath to the Academy OF Music last
night by the Comic Opera Players. in
the hands of Harry Short, Matt Hanly
George Bogues, Edward Basse and
Misses Alice Hills. Florence Mackie,
Billie Bush and Norma Brown. this
spirited musical comedy. by George NJ.
Conan, would. In some Of it's acting.
have done credit to Broadway itself.
It's music was not up to the standard,
but the fault was more in the charac-
ter Of the melodrama than in its per-
formance. The story on which it is
based makes 1t necessarily more an
acting than singing play. or rather
melodrama. Thus it affords scope TO
the quick -of-retort Harry Short. the
versatile Matt Hanly, and the clever
Miss Alice Hills to show to good ad-
vantage in the parts they played.
1t Is typical Cohan nlelodrama in
three acts. interpersed with song and
dance. The story is that Mr. Sidney
Lyon, an actor, has put Broadway at
his feet. Mr.. Short is the man. Matt
Hanly. as Anthony Bridwell, heavy of

great actor on the scene. Mr.. Lyon
knows these two crooks who are in
the game to rob this muffin illion-
aire.
In the exposure there are one or two
tense moments in which both Matt
Hanly and Miss Alice Hills demonstrat-
cd their ability TO act. Miss Hillss gift
