PLAYERS AT TAMPA
ARE In GOOD TRIM

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TAMPA, Fla. February 25.-Com-
pleting their first week of training
with a snappy work that was in
dulged in by all of the members of
the champions here, except Sam Rice,
who is not scheduled to officially re-
port until Tuesday, the progress made
by the squad is source of keen sat
isfaction to both President Griffith
and Trainer Mike Martin.
Not a sore arm has been developed
by the pitchers, nor has any other
evidence of the strain that the first
few days of Spring training usually
produces become apparent.
H. Benson Brillheart got back into
uniform today and resumed his
snappy work where he left off last
Saturday when Mike Martin called
for a three day rest on the part of
the young pitcher, Outside of the
pitchers and the two coaches, Ossie
Bleuge, Bennett Tate and Bill Har-
grave comprise the regulars OF the
Nationals who are limbering up here

hurlers in the bunting practice and

a few pounds overweight, have, in
addition to their usual receiving
duties, added an individual couch TO
the track work by carrying a medi-
cine ball with them, tossing the 12-
pound sphere back and forth as they
jog around.
The statement of James J. Tierncy,
secretary of the Giants, who was in
Tampa today, that Bucky Harris was
the first to suggest the Spring series
with the Giants, together with the
assertion that the usual White SoX-
Giant games were Cancelled before
the last world series, completely
negatives the claim to "smartest"

nection with the arranging of this
much discussed Spring exhibition.

Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. Then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to rnoisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips. By morning, most,
if not all, of your dandruff will be
gone, and two or three more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much
dandruf you may have
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and

At this point he got a bad break.
Behind the green is a fence of wire
netting, guarding a chicken run. Or
green will hit this fence and bounce
back. But Hutchison's ball found a
hole in the netting, rusted out pre-
sumably by the elements, and con-
tinued into the chicken run, which
was out-of-bounds territory.
He lost both stroke and distance.
This was pretty tough. because, at
the finish, he lacked just two strokes
to tie Walter Hagen for the cham
pionship, taking 3O2 to Walters 800.
The strange thing, according to my
information, is that Hagen also hit
the netting on the fourth hole, but
his ball bounced back and he lost
no strokes.
But Jock had another misfortune
on the fourteenth hole, $50 yards in
length. Due to strong head winds
this hole required two full wood shots
and a pitch.
The second shot was over a drain
age canal which crossed the fair
way at right angles. Two foot
bridges spanned this canal. one on
the right and one on the left. Each
bridge had chain hand rests suspend
ed from upright iron posts. whose
diameter was perhaps an inch and a
half
Jock played past the bridge on the
right. Naturally, in view of the
wind, he hit low ball. That which
resulted could not happen more than
once in a million chances. His ball
travelling 25 yards, hit one of those
nch-and-a-half iron uprightS and
bounded straight back to a point 40
yards in the players rear.
This stroke, with the two lost on
the fourth hole, cost him the cham
pionship.
Most Sensational Finish.
I presume there never was a more
sensational finish to a big tourna-
ment than that recorded in the 1918
Wales open championship.
George Gadd, a very fine golfer,
runner-up in this years ws-of-the-
World tournament. provided the big
thrill.
George had been through a very
desperate struggle in the final round,
having a fine chance to win the title.
Nevertheless, when he reached the
last tee, he found himself up against
a most awkward situation.
You'll have to do the hole in two
back to him.
Now the final hole was only a 160-
yard affair and it was possible that
Gadd could get his needed two. But
