strain regardless of the size and To-
cation Of the rupture.
| WARMING: Do not expose your
self to the danger of : wearing old
style trusses with nnderstraps. These
trusses usually place the pad on the
lump and not on the rupture open

straps. no straps around the body
or legs. 1t Is also perfectly sanitary
and practically = indestructible, and

Then the salesman, accom-
panied by sort of man Friday,
crossed the lobby. and sat within
five feet of several Griffmen just
come from breakfast. Ten min
utes passed and more players
came out from breakfast, standing
around within a few feet Of the
apparent salesman.
It suddenly dawned mp this
writer why he had been selected
as possible member of the Wash
ington club. First, his evident
youth, being twenty mine next birth
day. Second, his cap purchased at
Bailey's in Tampa last March. The
combination was too strong. He
just thad to be a baseball player
to that salesman.
But the baseball player of to-
day, at least the major Lacquer,
is seldom seen sporting a cap.
Far be it from that. He has been
wearing the nobbiest of felt hats
all spring, with vari-colored and
high-colored bands. Now he is
getting into sport straws, some
with Tapping brims. Stuffy Ste
wart resembles a freshman at
Georgetown, which he was, by the
way, some ten or more years ago.
Three years ago there was a cap
vogue spurred on by free gifts Of
Babe Ruth caps. Every major
Lacquer in the country wore Babe
Ruth caps. That was three years
ago. No longer do the players re-
semble yeggmen. Today they re-
semble nobby youngsters fresh
from college. Indeed, they do not
affect some of the sloppy regalia
worn by the ultra collegian, but
rather the slightly subdued cloth
ing of the graduate fairly started
upon his life's work.
This passing of the yegg cap has
also applied to boxers. No longer
does the successful boxer sport
red sweater, the need of shave
and haircut, and a pressing for his
tired trousers. Not SO, Gertrude.
Today even the ordinary boxer is
a dude, sporting all the latest and
nobbiest clothes from chapeau to
shoes. Those old tough days when
boxers had to be gladiators, with
all the crudeness expected of glad
iators, those days are gone forever.
Today the boxer, following Benny
Leonard's example, possibly, and
young business men, doing much
for mother.

cap bought at Bailey's in Tampa.

game In Toronto against the Inter

open their first Western trip at

The Griffs' hurting corps, which
has been nothing to brag about
for several weeks, Is without the
services of Dutch Ruether. The
veteran s0uthpaw has q lame arm
and may not climb the hill again
until the team Is in the West.
On the other hand, "BulleI" Joe
Bush has rounded into good form,
If yesterdays showing counts for
anything, and should take his turn
on the hin from now on. Bush is
expected to show at MS best with
the warm weather, II warm weather

In the absence Of Ruetner Curly
Ogden is likely to get "a chance at
starting a game or two. Thu Man

effectively against the Mackr1en in

Harris is convinced that he will
prove valuable to the team in its
mad effort to keep from tumbIing

fine margin of victories over the
Mackmen, six victories out of nine.
