Immediately!--you hair becomes beautiful. Just moisten a cloth with Danderine and draw it carefully through your hair, taking one small strand at time; this will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or any exces- sive oil--in few minutes you will be amazed. Your hair will be wavy, fluffy and possess an incomparabe softness, ustre and really appear twice as thick and abundant--a mass of luxuriant. glinty. coorful hair.

 Huntington was quick, but not quick enough. Grants right hand was in the drawer by his side in a moment, and the silver-plated little revolver at his temple.

OLD TOWN VS.. B. L

! Last Thursday afternoon, at Wy
man Park, Old Town A. A. defeated
the B. U. boys in an interesting
game, 3 to s. The visitors got the
| jump on B. U. by hammering
Clough hard in the first inning, and
Adams, who replaced Clough, was
wild. Latour went to the mound and
| held Old Town scoreless for the rest
of the game. Some snappy plays
were shown during the game. Carl
son pulled down a couple in the out
field which appeared to be good for
triples. Williamson played a fine
game behind the bat for B. U. Dug
gan, the Old Town twirler, pitched
good game and contributed a pair
of triples. Both teams fielded we'll.
The score by innings:
Old Town, / 2 2 0 0 0 0 0-13
B. U. S. s., 0 0 2 4 2 0 0 O. s
B. U. expected to revenge the Old
Town team on Saturday. but owing
to a mix-up of dates by another
team, Manager Horrigan conceded to
the wishes of the Old Town manager
by postponing the game.
RAZOOBS vs. EARLY RISERS.
Last Saturday morning at ten
o'clock the Razoobs and Early Ris-
erS met at Wyman Park. One of the
hardest contested games of the
season was won by Manager Shea s
Razoobs. This aggregation, which
has long boosted of it's skill on the
diamond, was given a real scare by
Manager McCarthy's Early Risers.
The Early Risers team is composed
of members of the faculty, their as
sistants, and several students.
The Early Risers had the game
practically won when the ninth in
ming opened. But the Ra2oob outfit,
seeking revenge for the examinations
handed out by the Profs. on the two
previous days, went to bat and ham
mered out six runs before they were
aubdued. This gave them four
run lead which the Early Risers
could not overcome in their half of
the inning.
The game was interesting through
out Manager Horrigan of the regu-
lar team was on hand, and COM
mented favorably on the showing
made by some of the dark horses.
One of the big surprises of the game
was a screeching two-base hit down
the first-base line by Professor Bel
latty. This surprise was shared by
the professor himself. Lawyer Babb
was regular Ty Cobb on the bases,
with his steal of third base and home
in the same inning. Professor Cog
gin cavorted on the diamond in the
same manner that he did in his old
college days.
Both pitchers lasted Throughout
the game. Jack Murray pitched
steady game, but the breaks were
against him. Murray's siants were
well received by Professor Born
