few FOLKS HAVE
CRAY HAIR NOW
Wen-Known Local Druggist Says
Everybody Is Using Old-Time
Recipe of Sage and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lus-
tre.. or when 1t fades, turns gray
dull and lifeless, is caused by q
lack Of sulphur in the hair. Our
grandmother made up a mixture OF
Sage. Tea and Sulphur to keep her
locks dark and beautiful, and thou
sands of women and men who value
that even color. that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive,
use only this oldtime recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous
mixture improved by the addition
of other ingredients by asking at
any drug store for a bottle oil
''wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which darkens the hair SO
naturally, so evenly. that nobody
can possibly tell 1t has been ap-
piled. You just dampen a sponge
OF soft brush with II and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's sage
and Sulphur Compound is that. be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, 1t also
brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives II an appearance OF
abundance.
wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Conn
pound is a delightful toilet REQUISITE
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. II is not IN
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention Of disease.-Adv.

Plays That Puzzle
BY BILLY EVANS

Here is a rather unusual play that
came up a few years ago: There are
runners on second and third. A snap
throw from the catcher gets the rum
ner OFF third. In the rundown he is
called safe at the plate on a close de-
Cision. The catcher protests so siren
uousiy he is put out of the game. In
disgust the catcher hurls the ball to
the ground the moment the umpire
first base. The runner originally on
second, who had advanced to third
on the play made break for home
as the catcher threw the ball away.
The flrSt baseman recovered the ball
and tossed il to the pitcher, who was
covering the plate, getting the rum
ner, who was trying to score from
third. What was the proper ruling?
Play Automatically stopped.
When umpires get in a serious dis
pute they invariably protect them
selves by calling time In this in
stance the claim was made that the
umpire had not done so. and the base
runner was entitled to advance when
the catcher threw the ball away, IL he
desired 10 do SO at his peril How
ever. when the umpire ruled the
catcher out of the game he reduced
the number Of players on the team in
the field TO eight. and. as IL is impos-
sible to play with less than nine men.
play was automatically suspended by
such action. Since the catcher threw
the ball away after he had been
elected. the proper thing was to have
paid no attention to the act and re-
fuse to allow any play. The runner
who tried to score and was retired.
should have been sent back to third

LITTLE Jeff QUITS RING
Defeat by Ray Causes Baltimore
Flyweight to Co. to Work in
Macaroni Factory.

Joe Cossentino Little jeff has re-
tired from the fistic arena. He went
to work this morning in macaroni
factory in Baltimore. Charlie Ray.
the Philadelphia hyweight. is re-
sponsible for such a turn of affairs.
When Jeff boxed Ray in Baltimore
not so long ago he declared before
the match that if he lost he would
turn in his ring togs. He has re-
NAMED true to his word and only
a couple of days ago refused to let
his manager. Max WaXman. sign
contract calling for $3.50 to face
frankie Murray on Monday in Har-
risburg.
The baltimore fyweight was so
confident of taking the measure Nof
Ray that not only he. but also his
manager wagered their share of the
purse that he would be returned VIC
torious. 1t was not the loss OF the
money that prompted Jeff to quit the
ring, but the fact that he could not
win.
Jeff has been boxing for more than
three years and figured in more than
200 fights.

CUBS TO LET MERKLE CO
Evers' Decision Recalls Famous
Play Involving Pair That Cost
Giants Pennant.

CHICAGO. January 25.-Reports tha.
Fred Merkle. for the past few years a
member of the Chicago Nationals, had
been signed by George Stallings to
play first base for the Rochester In
ternationa1s. have been received
President William Veeck of the Cubs
said he had no informa ton on the
case. but had written Merkle offering
him release or transfer to some minor
league team.
The transfer of Merkle from the
Cubs, in line with Manager Johnny
Evers' policy of wedding out several
of the veterans. recalls the famous
play involving Merkle and Evers years
ago in the closing days Of a pennant
struggle which had settled down to a
race between the Giants and Cubs.
Merkle was playing with the Giants
then, when Bridwell hit a fast ball to
the outfield. apparently good for at
least two bases. and scoring the player
on second, breaking a tie score and
seemingly giving the Giants the game
and pennant. Merkle. on first ran for
the clubhouse. but Johnny Evers, play
ing second for the Cubs, called the at
tention of the umpires to Merkle's
failure to touch the keystone sack,
after crossing first base. and Merkle
was ruled as out. The national com
mission ruled the game tie, caused
it to be played over and the Cubs won
the second game, the pennant and the
world series following.
