SPORT
CHAT

Pat French of Lewiston is making
good headway in his attempt to get
up formidable baseball outfit in the
Spindle City. He already has signed
Gaudette. Alberts and Mastermafl
and is in touch with several other
fast men to round out his lineup.
Howard Ehmke started off we'll in
his 1924 hurting. He pitched a fine
game against the Yankssand deserv-
ed to win, but couple of fumbles
by Wamby lost the game for the
lanky Sox hurler.
1t must be fine eyesore for Ty
Cobb to see Ehmke's fine hurting for
the Sox. When Manager Ty got a
chance to get Collins for Howard he
was almost beside himself with JOY
AS luck would have 1t Collins has
been very ineffective for the Tigers
while Ehnke has won his way to
fame with Boston.
The Worumbos of Lisbon Falls
will be represented by n fast outfit
this year. The club is backed by the
Worumbo Mills and fans announce
their intentions of supporting it to
the last game.

planned as feature of benefit show
Tor the New York milk fun in June, it

that the promotion will be handled pE
Tex Richard who staged the milk 1uhd
benefit show last summer. A date be
tween June 90 and &c will probably be
selected.
Stribling's Willingness to meet Ber-

| Thank Men
For What Youth and Beauty Brought Me
BY Edna Wallace Hopper

IT is queer. but all great aids to
youth and beauty have been discov-
cred by scientific men. And most
OF them by Frenchmen.
Women run beauty parlOrs. pose
as beauty experts. But every great
help they employ is the creation of
some man.
I've found that so in my 40-year
search for the greatest beauty helps
in existence. Man-made helps de-
veloped my beauty And man-made
helps have kept my youthful bloom.
Now those supreme helps are at
every woman's call The helps that
made me what I am. The latest and
best men know All are combined
in just four preparations, supplied
by all toilet counters
I urge every girl and woman to
learn what they can do.

do not expect perfection Of a
touring road company of opera. Am
satisfied when the principals have
good voices and the orchestra is suf-
hcient to present the score.
As "Faust" was presented last
night at the Murat I was not salts
fed with the entire product. The
orchestra was too small to meet the
demand oft he scale, although Ado
F'ranchetti, conductor, conducted
with intelligence, he resorted TO the
spoken word Of his musicians at

scene IN which she becomes charmed
