1T is a serious thing to be a wo-
man" One woman in every eight dies
from some form Of cancer after the
age of forty. Phree times as many
women as men die of cancer between
the ages of thirty-hve and forty-five
and twice as many between forty-tive
and ffty-fve Every woman who be-
comes a mother is left in a condition
that makes her more susceptible to
cancer.
Ten thousand women die annually
in America from cancer of the breast
and fifteen thousand from cancer of
the generative organs. The average
age at which these women die is for
ty-nine years. Thousands of young men
and women are robbed of their best
friend at a time when she is most
needed.
If women will exercise a reasonable
amount of care a large number OF
deaths from cancer of the breast may
be avoided. The most prominent
symptom is a single lump. Nine times
out of ten it does not give pain. There
is only one outstanding symptom and
that is the lump" A lump in the
breast of woman under twenty-five
is not, as a rule cancer; there is only
one chance in a thousand that it is.
II. however, the patient is older the
chances increase materially and by the
time she is forty-hve there are nine
chances out of ten that it is a cancer
or will be, if not removed.
Cancer of the breast is serious be-
cause it spreads so early and so
quickly to other parts of the body.
Almost before the patient is aware OF
the presence OF the lump small partl=
cles of it may have been broken off

gave him perfect day at bat, while he tallied three Baronial counters.
 The Travellers player ragged base ball and Oftimes careless ball as we'll. Fiegeft made the swatsmiths look bad at the plate and he held them at his mercy. Their lone tally was scored when Philbin doubled and Williams sim gled and scored him in the first in- ming. After the initial frame the Elberfelds failed to threaten.
 Barons Score
 Three consecutive singles in the sec. ond frame enabled the Barons to score their first tally. With two down Hart ford, Ganzel and@ Robertson singled, Hartford scoring on Pops hit.
 In the third Brausen drew n pass and stole second5 base. He went to third on Rhodes fly to McDevitt and scored when Moore erred on Camps grounder.
 Again the homelings' tallied one when Hartford tripled and Robertson singled in the fourth.
 In the fifth frame the Stewards did the job up better. Fiegert and Rhode singled, Camp grounded out and Hart ford walked, which filled the bases. Ganzel smacked the pellet for three corners of the square and three men romped home.
 The seventh frame saw three more Barons cross the plate. Rhode singled. took second on Camps sacri- flee, third on a balk and home on Lory's error. The. Travellers catcher threw the ball away at third trying to get Rhode when he and Hartford started double steal Hartford had walked Ganzel grounded out, but Robertson hit a home run.

bored. Then came the eighth inning and the panic.
 Bluege singled and Muddy Ruel, the, catcher, rapped out double Miller lIuggins of the Yankees, a man of lit- He faith, began to run around the Yan- kees' dugout screaming '.flee for your lives the dam has burst" and other cries of terror. Herb Pennock, who has been pitching for the Tanks, took to his heels and Gaston replaced him. The rext hitter was Roger Peckinpaugh, who used to be the Yankees own short stop. He bit to Everett Scott, the man who took his job and two shares of world series money which Peck would have received if he hadn't been sent away, and Scott tossed him out at first, but Bleuge scored. Then Mc- Eeeley, the new boy from the coast league, hit single and the bases were full, one run was in and only one man was out.
 Kid Harris walloped moaning grounder at Joe Dugan, the Yanks' third baseman, who muffed it, allowing Ruel to score the second run of the in- ninr and refiIling the erstwhile non reliable bases defended by the Tanks. Now the game went to pieces. Hug gins emitted more cries of alarm and Sam Joucs went in to pitch. The next play wassa force-out but the Senators were parading up to the plata, smash ing the bali and running around and around the diamond in a wild tableaU, and they scored six more runs after two were out.
 The Senators now lead the league by two. points and they have Walter Johnson and George Mogridge to send against the Tanks before the series ends whereas Waite Hoyt is the only New York pitcher who deserves full confi- dence. There are fewer than 30 games to be played and the Senators may take a lead fin this series which will last them until the end of the season. Score.

Nine to one. Birmingham 1!

Nine to one, Birmingham!
 The stalking ghost of the colorful past rose up and smote, mighty smite. Even at that it looks like a monopoly and there ain't no use of struggling, cause the Travellers and BarOns have 1 eighth place sewed up fast and tight One of them is bound to cop it and may the worst team win. There seems to be some indeeision as to which is the worse, hence the see-saw series which now stands even, one game all.
 But, back to our ghost story, once mighty team swatted the apple in terrific manner and slugging catcher batted the pill with vigor. Them days is gone forever Still goggle-eyed fans watched the misfit organization paste the offerings of a pitcher and half Thursday at Redwood and recalled the ancient days. The team. Birmingham Barons; the catcher: old Pop Robert son.
 They Call Him Mccall
 A pitcher called Jim Mccall got the call twice from Elberfeld once coming and again going. He was called in and then called out and another uniform, who apparently had forgotten what he was called, was called in. He regis tered at the plate with Umpire Pigue as Dunbar" but that worthy gentle man stated later that he. suspected
 Dunbar" of sailing under a pseudo nym and so it developed-the gentleman in question was Mir. Dunbar Hunter. who as a hunter filled the bill, for { he searched for the plate all afternoon and late in the contest was still hunt ing ineffectively.
 As for the BarOns a versatile player pitched the game. He batted third place in the hitting order. and he hit, , he stole bases and otherwise acquitted himself as a baseball player. He was the same youngster who played center field so ably Wednesday and he goes by the name of Earl (''Lefty") Fiegert and he was obtained just recently through Pittsburg from Flint. in the Miichigan-O Ontario league, where he passed out of the lineup with a bat , ting average of .369. He allowed the , Travellers six hits and not a ghost of show to win the contest In only one inning were there more than one ! hit registered and that was when the Travellers obtained two hits and their 'Cfly run in the opening frame.
 A Ghost Walks
 Again-the ghost story-Hartford rested on third when the ghost walked. Pop Robertson strolled to the plate, knocked the apple to left center field fence and went around the bases. To be sure Guyon never moved as the ball whizzed by near his pedestral and Nor rison trotted languidly after the ball, still it was a home run. Pop also got pair of singles.
 The Comeback
 ''The Slumper's Comeback might be drifting lead line for this paragraph for it deals with Bambino Foster Gan gel. After swatting the apple rudely on the nose number of times Wednes- day the babe came back Thursday and reswatted it. A three-bagger with the hases full shocked Mir. Mccall in the fifth so that his nerves would not al- low him to return to the fracas after that inning. Ganzel also hit a single, for two safeties in four trips up.
 However, Bruce Hartford did the big turn at swat. His long grounder for three bases, single and two free passes

Especial Leased Wire to Age-HeraIdl
 NEW YORK, August 2S.-Ths Washington ball club, the Bill Bryan of the big leagues. which has run for high office in the American loop about 20 times and has never won anything yet, landed in New York and all over the Yankees Thursday afternoon in the first game of the series which is likely to nominate, one club or the other fol this years world series. The Senators smashed the incumbent but aging champions, II to 6, and rose to the top of the league in a game of ball that ran along in the routine way unti the eighth inning and then went ravinf crazy.
 Young Bucky Harris, back-lot strat egist from the coal belt of Pennsylva. mia. is manager sof the Washington team at the tender age of 27, the youngest manager in all the records of the big leagues and the most successful in the history of the capital guard He is the only one who ever raised the teams average above second place or the teams morale above the knee caps at any date beyond the Fourth of July and not content with the sun and stars, the kid is reaching for the moon. Among the subordinates who take orders from the kid are Walter Johnson who has pitched before all the presidents from Martin Van Buren to Calvin Coolidge, and Nick A1trock. another elderly athlete who speaks of Chauncey NJ. Depew as kid with a great future.
 Big Surprise
 When Buckley was called down to Washington last winter by Clark Grif- fifth, who owns the team, and informed that he had been selected as manager for the season of 1924, Harris prob ably wondered why Griffith had it in for him. In the past, the managers of the Washington teams had been allowed about as much authority as a doorman on the clubhouse gate and much brief CT tenure of office. Anyway, the kid took the job and here he is, pop-eyed with amazement and wondering when he is going to fall out of bed and wake up.
 Out of consideration for the account ing department, Harris decided to save Walter Johnson until about Saturday. when the prehistoric Morse can be used to lure q full. attendance to the Yam kee stadium. He had to select some one else for Thursdays game, so he took Zachary, left-hander who has been largely responsible for the sue cess of the club to date.
 After two home runs in succession, one by Babe Ruth and one by Bob Meusel, had gone whining into the re- moteness of the bleachers in the fourth inning, the kid changed his mind about Zachary and called in right-hander named Russell. In theire next turn at bat, the Senators tied the score at 5 and 8. But at the end of the sev- enth inning the count was 6, to 8 in the Tanks favor and it1-seemed as though in a direct clash to decide the championship, the Senators, for all their eagerness and ambition, were not quite equal to the technical skill, the and the batting vehemence of the champions, who are not eager and ambitious any more but somewhat
