STRUNK. BUSH And
SCHANG SOLD TO SOX.
Philadelphia Fans Given Their Second
Surprise in Week when Mack
DfspOses of Vets.
(gy Associated Press J

Philadelphia, Dec. 15.-The sale by
the Philadelphia Athletics of Strunk,
Bush and Schang to the Boston Amer
leans for $4,000 and three players, is
the second big baseball surprise for
the Philadelphia fans this week. They
had hardly gotten over the surprise
caused by the sale of the Philadelphia
Nationals star battery, Alexander and
Killifer, to the Chicago Cubs.
This is the third time in the last
few years that Connie Mack has cut
deep into his playing staff. The first
was when he let Bender, Plank and
Coombs go. The second was the let
ting out of Eddie Collins, Jack Barry,
Home Run" Baker and Pitcher Shaw
key. The sale of Strunk, Bush and
Schahg leaves "Stuffy" McInnis as the
only veteran of Mack's former worlds
championship team.

Tener National League Head.
Is Biggest Man In Baseball

New York, Dec. 15.-John K. Tener,
National league president, who has
been reelected to the oce and
who is likely to have 1t as long as he
cares to serve, is pretty generally
regarded as the biggest figure in
baseball today. Teners attitude to-
ward the war and basebalrs part in
IL has won admiration throughout
the country.
A short while ago Ban Johnson,
American league president, came
forth with the suggestion that the
government exempt from service in
the army eighteen players on each
of the big league teams. This would
mean 2SS big league players to be
exempted. In reply to Johnson's
idea Tener declared that ii would "be
most unpatriotic to suggest THAI
baseball should appear to shrink its
duty at this time"
Considerable has been said of Ban
Johnson's patriotism and his deter7
mination to leave baseball and hurry
into the trenches. Then again there
was much said about his offer OF his
services to the government and his
special trip to Washington for the
purpose. In spite OF all this nothing
very large in the way of war work
has been accomplished by the Amer
lean league head.
Tener on the other hand has been
doing government work ever since
America Joined the allies. He has
served on one Of Hoover's most Inn
portant food conservation commit
tees and he has directed the organi-
zation of various lodges and beneyo-
lent societies in the support Of food
conservation. The million dollar
fund for base hospitals raised by the
EIks Is largely the result Of Tener's
energetic services.
Tener has done very little in the
way Of merely vocal patriotism, but
he has quietly been OF real value to
his country. He has shown himself
to be q big man in every respect and
has been doing his bit quietly and

News From All Sides Of the World Of Sports
BOBBY vEACH GRABS HoNoRs AS
A. LIS LEADING TIMELY HITTER

Hitting the ball when a hit is great
ly needed may be regarded as one OF
the ball players prettiest arts. And
in this respect Bobby Veach, OF the
Tigers wrecking crew led the Amer
lean league last season. Veach drove
in lis runs with timely swats.
Several years ago Harry Pulliam,
baseball magnate and expert, said
that the player who drives in the runs
is the really great player and that his
batting is the sort that should get
the applause. Ban Johnson heartily
agreed with Pulltam at the time, and
since then there has been a greater
interest In the dope that shows the
players who have starred in bringing
in runs when runs were wanted.
Ban Johnson said that he regarded
the figures showing the number of
runs batted in by the players as the
most valuable of all records in the
national game.
Bob Veach may then be mentioned
as the real batting hero of the past
year, leading even the immortal Ty
Cobb. Cobb came in second in the
timely hitting averages with los runs
to his credit, and Hap Felsch, Of the
White Sox was third with an even 100.
Veach has reason to be pleased with
himself, especially as he has always
been a timely hitter. Getting a hit
when a run results is not always a
matter of luck by any means, as a
glance at Bobs record will show. He
has always been a timely hitter and in
the past several seasons has made
strong bid for the honors that he
plucked this last summer.

brought to our notice who could dis
place Koehler OF Northwestern. I'm

back and Sternaman of Illinois and
Davis of Iowa at halfbacks are re-

At fulIback Dobson of Nebraska
gets a place on the second eleven,
while Huffine of Purdue is shunted to
the sidelines. Dobson early gave
promise OF becoming a star player,
but, like others, he failed at critical
moments.
Naturally there arc scores OF play
ers on different elevens who deserve
mention, and who might hold their
own In certain instances with those
picked, but a few lacked that finish
which is necessary for a seasons
playing. There are COryell of the
Michigan Aggies at tackle and Shaw

strong men in their position, but
neither is up to an All-Western

To Look and Feel
 Bright in Hot Weather

This is the season when she who would have a lily-white complexion should turn her thoughts to merco- llzed wax, the firm friend of the sum- mer girl. Nothing so effectually over comes the soiling effects of sun, wind. dust and dirt. The wax literally ab-. sorbs the scorched, discolored, freckl- ed, withered or coarsende cuitcle, bringing forth brand new skin, clear. soft and girlishly beautiful. It also un- clogs the pores, removing blackhoaas and increasing the skins breathing capacity. An ounce of mercolized wax; obtainable at any drug store. ap- piled nightly like cold cream and washed off mornings will gradually improve the worst complexion.
 When depressed by the heat and you want to freshen up for the af- ternoon Or evening, bathe the face in a lotion mada by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolitc in a half pint witch hazel. You'll find this more re- freshing than an hours rest. It is fine for smoothing out wrinkles, even the deeper ones.-Adv.
