WIN IN WEST;REDS
ONLY TAKE SERIES

The eastern clubs as a whole out
played their western rivals in the IN.
tersectional contests that came to a
close In the west with Mondays
games. Out OF total OF 81 combats
played, the east captured 26 to 25 for
the west.
The Reds went at a fast clip at
home, winning II and losing only four.
They did not lose a single series to
an eastern rival. Moran's men wal
loped the Braves four out of five. They
took two out of three from the Giants
and the same number from the Troll
ley Dodgers. AS for the Phillies, the
Reds made it three out Of four from
Gavvy Cravath's bunch.
The Cubs were unable to do much
with the Braves, Dodgers or Phillies,
but they earned an even break in
twelve games by defeating the Giants
three straight. The Pirates won five
and lost seven. The Cardinals had a
sad time Of it, coping but three and
dropping nine.
PhIIies Go Fine.
Despite the drubbing they took at
Cincinnati, the Phillies featured the
intersectional battles by their surpris-
ingly good work. They took part in
an even dozen games. winning eight
and losing but four. The Braves, after
getting a bad start against the Reds,
picked up and travelled at good gait,
finishing with seven victories against
six defeats. The Trolley Dodgers Won
six and lost seven.
1t was the naughty Giants who made
the poorest showing among the east
ern clubs. McGrGW's band won a
single series in the west, beating the
Pirates three out Of five. Out Of the
fourteen games they played the Giants
won five and dropped nine.

How to Lose Your Tan,
Freckles or Redness

4 days motoring, an afternoon on
the tennis ground or golf links. a sun
bath on the beach or exposure on a
lake trip. often brings on a deep tan
or vivid crimson or. more perplex!ng
still. a vigorous crop of freckles. A
very necessary thing then is mercolized
wax which removes tan, redness or
freckles quite easily. 1t literally peels
off the affected sk!n-just little at a
time, so there's no hurt or injury. As
the skin comes off in almost invisible e
flakv PARTICLES no trace OF the treat
ment is shown. Procure an ounce OF
mercolized wax at your druggists and
use this nightly as you would cold
cream. washing it off mornings. In a
week so you will have an entirely
new skin. beautifully clear, transpar-
ent and of a most delicate whiteness.

performance during the last homo

sit up and take notice, and the fans
are expecting the Reds to show up

come back to Cincinnati with the tor

On top Of the exciting series in the
east, the Reds still have an advantage
of playing five less games than the
Giants during the remainder of the
series, and unless the Giants cop al
