That loss yesterday was due solely
70 the 1neffectlveness of Paul Zahn-
!ser, right-hander, who seemed to
have struck his good pitching form
when he toppled the Browns last
week. The Nationals got a good lead
of four runs for Paul before his
old trouble. wildness, affected him
in the fourth inning. Then he issued
TIE sacks.
Abetted by four hits Zahniser's
ack of control permitted the Sox to
frame his wild pitch and another
walk mixed with three bingles gave
the enemy the edge. Allen Russell
went to the mound and checked the
SoN, but the damage had been ac-
complished.
The Sox also used two pitchers.
Ted Lyons, who started, gave way to
a pinch hitter in the fourth inning
when the first Chicago rally was un-
der way, but he probably would have
been relieved soon in any event, for
the Nationals pounded him for seven
swats in his term. With George
Connaliy, Lyons successor, it was a
different story. The Harrismen
threatened to count against him in
his first round when he was a trif1e
unEeady, but thereafter he was prac-
tiCally invincfble.
Some weird White Sox base ball
helped the Nationals to a trio of runs
in the first inning. Rice walked and,
after Matthews flied to Archdeacon,
pilfered second. Harris retirement
moved Sam to third, then he scored
when Lyons uncorked q wild pitch.
Goslin singled to center and stole

 Imagine the ceremony, while the bar Der and his assistant are haircutting shaving, shampooing, massaging, mani- curing, shingling and permanent-waying the bride and gloom. The barber slaps a red-hOt towel on the mans face while the orchestra plays, Here Comes The Bride And-Blooey There Goes The Groom" Orange blossom hair tonic is used. s
 "All set folks? Then les go from here,", says the barber. Do you take this woman for your jawful welded wife, and if not, what do you take he for? Do you promise to-I be- lieve you said you wanted a shine = love, cherish and-sit up straighter, please. And you, Theresa Clenentine, do you take this man-By the way sir, your hairs gettin' awful thin on top-You Do take him, Theresa ? AttagirI!

Pay the cashier.--Next~ >...
 And the following Saturday they're back again to- be massaged, bobbed, shaved and re-wedded to somebody else.
 A wedding of this sort offers a big advantage over the church or home variety, in that the victims are LLpplied with comfortable. chairs. At all the weddings I ever attended they ran out of chairs and the bride and groom had to sand up. Some day I'm gonna slip up on the blind side of some girl and marry her yhen she's not looking, and when do I'll carry along 6 folding camp shair. The present system is aw- ful. It's a shame and half to make the poor devils endure the ordeal while standing. How can a fellow cOncen- trate on a ceremony when his minds on his corns and broken arches? When mans being electrocuted they give him a nice comfortable chair fully equipped with electricity and all modern cOnveniences, but when he's being mar ried they make him stand up. It ain't right.

GAMECOCKS WIN f

Field Goal By BOatwright De-
 cides Battle, 3 To o

COLUMBIA, s, C., Oct. 23.-The University of South Carolina defeated Clemson College. 3 to 0 here today in the, twenty second meeting of the two institutions, the. game being played be- fore a crowd in excess, of 10000 per sons as the leading feature of the South Carolina state fair! .. N
 The winning points were scored in the third period when BoatwEight, Gar olina back, made a kick from place n:ent from the 17 yard line. The Game cocks had failed ill an effort to ad- vance by rushing from the seven yard line where they came into possession of the ball as,R result. of run of 47 yards by EdmunGs, wno intercepted a Clemson forward pass.
 Both teams had other chances to score but were better defensively than on the offensive and could not develop sustained drive, * .'..- =.
 The visitors recovered a tumble on the Gamecocks' 30 yard line just be- fore the game ended but Robinson's at tempted placement was wide by inches.
 At the opening of the game Carolina. in the first few minutes, had the ball on the Clemson's five yard line but a forward pass went over the goal on fourth down and resulted in a touch back.
 Clemson worked the ball to Caro- lina's seven yard line in the third period but lost the ball on downs, a penalty figuring in this series of plays.
 The longest run of the game from scrimmage was made by Rogers who got away for 35 yards on a sweeping end run.
