Another strange twist Of baseball
SINNERS was picked off the Mil
waukee lots by Jack Hendricks in
1920. used as utility outhelder that
season, as a regular in 1921 and then
sold to the New York Giants for
$25 900 and players.
Included among the players OBJ

whom all fans know by this tins az
the nnedrlving kid. Vernon Spencer
also was obtained, but injuries
knocked him out The services of
Claude Jonnard were had for q while,
much to the Tribes benefit. and now
Cecil Causey comes as the last part
OF the deal.
1t was a profitable deal for Indian
apolis even though the Hens eventu-
ally got SINNERS.
To SINNERS credit 1t must be said
misfortune overlook him in the big
leagues. He was going along In good
fashion holding down the center field
Job for the Giants when he was
struck on the head by a pitched ball.
He was knocked unconscious and the
injury affected his sight. He has
shown some improvement recently,
but it will take a long time for him

SINNERS was sent to Toledo by Nc

McGraw once let go for the waiver

will rot away. Give it a good
coat Of WAXMUSH, which is not
only the best top dressing made
but the easiest to apply. If your
car is black" you can use
WAXMUSH on the body, tenders
and wheels to protect the finish
from the action Of the sun and
weather.
1t waterproofs either a new or
old finish. puts on a thin pro-
tective coating and brings up
nice lasting luster. Mud and
dust will then come off easily
without injury to the varnish
underneath. Why let the finish
of your car become rusty, your
top leaky and go to pieces when
you can save both at so little ex-
pense and effort.
WAXMUSH Is made by an old
compounder who has had more
than twenty years practical ex-
perience making wax compounds
for protecting and renewing
painted. vanished and dyed sur
faces, a very careful man who
thoroughly understands the work.
WAXMUSH Is not sold through
dealers. We will send you
