WHY do you let those unsightly
w pimples, blackheads and blotches
disfgure your skin and ruin your ap-
pearance? You can keep them away
if you keep your system full OF rich,
red blood. And not only that, but the
very texture of your skin will be soft
and velvet like-and the coloring radi-
ant as rose.
It's all in the blood. And S. S. S.
will help Nature keep your blood rich
and red and pure.
Yes, you can keep pimples away,
simply by taking S. S. S. That's a
fact. The kind of red-blood-cells that
S. S. S. helps Nature build makes
your skin beautiful-clears it up just
like it puts firm flesh on ~
you-brings strength to-~N
weak, fabby muscles
gives you an appetite \0sO.O./
like you used to have \ y
and generates the
energy and vitality Of
youth throughout your entire system.
Just try it and see for yourself! All
druggists sell S. S. S. Get the larger
5ottle. It's more economical.

New Orleans, Aug. 4.-When Grant Gillis, young football star of the University of Alabama, threw that 55-yard pass at the Pasadena Tournament of Roses against the University of Washington, his name was on the lips of hundreds of thousands of Americans.
 That he will win even greater glory on the baseball diamond is the prediction of Johnny Dobbs, manager of the Birmingham Barons of the Southern Association, one of the oldest of the circuits mentors. This despite the fact that Gillis has been in fast company only few weeks.
 T believe he will become a greater player than Joe Sewell," was the tributet Dobbs paid the young southern collegian. And Dobbs is looked upon as well qualified to dis cuss the merits of the two.
 Dobbs brought Sewell from Ala bama to the New Orleans baseball club. Sewell jumped right in and within few weeks was leading the league shortstops in practically every department of the game.
 Then came sewell's great chance. The sudden death of Ray Chapman, of the Cleveland Indians, resulted in the Indian pilot drawing upon New Orleans for Sewell, with what result every baseball fan in the country knows.
 Playing at short for Birmingham, under the guiding hand of Dobbs, Gillis has already won a permanent berth.
 He has large hands, fine throw ing arm and is fairly good hitter,' said Dobbs. In one of the early games of the season Gillis cleaned the bases with home run, and more recently started the batting spree that sent Martina, Pelican star hurler, to the showers.

JENN|S TOPS CITY
 LOOP IN BATTING Has Mark Of .56S-PitChers
 Prove They Can Hit

Batting averages in the City league continue high in spite of the gen. eral slump effected last Saturday by the more successful work of the pitchers, and the averages show no less than 30 men hitting for .3e0 or better. Of these 30, the real leader is tennis of the West Ends, who has displaced Budnick of the Burritts. In four games tennis has batted 12 times and pounded out seven hits, giving him the lofty percentage of .5S3.
 Nominally head of tennis, but not to be considered the leaders, are three other players who have par ticipated in only one game each Solwocki of the Burritts has an av- craze of 1000, having made safe hit in his only trip to the plate, while Jackowitz of the Orioles has made four out of five for 300 and Cooper of the West Ends two out of three for 667.
 Right behind tennis comes Hug gie Carlson, Pirate pitcher, who has put another hole in the theory that pitchers cannot hit by seeking the ball for an average of .545. Several men are hitting for an even 300. They are Luty and Budnick of the Burritts, each of whom has led the league at one time, and three other men who have played in only one game. This trio consists of Luke, the only Speedboy hitting over 300; Aero of the West Ends and Seffels of the Rangers.
 McCabe. West Ends first sacker. is at .444. while the poor hitting pitcher idea receives another jolt when Rose of the Burritts is found at the .43S mark. Jarnot, Burritts, and Smithwick, West Ends, have .429 averages with several close be- hind. These are zalesk, Burritts, .421: Zapatka, Pirates, AT; Roy, Robins, .4i2; Cormier. West Ends, 400. and Swanson, Rangers, 400. This makes 1 9 batters over the 400 mark.
 McAloon of the Pirates is hitting for 3S5 and Jack Argosy of the Rangers for .364. Then comes a string with .3sS marks-Gaida. Bur ritts; Grail. Burritts: Blanchard. West Ends: Datoli. Orioles; Albee. Orioles: Witham. Rangers and Ru- oon. Robins. Blauyelt and Tronoski,

 Iris Speaker and his Cleveland Indians, 10 games behind but ap- parently the only team in the Amer ican league able to give the New York Yankees a battle today make a last stand on their home grounds
 The prospect is not bright, from a Cleveland standpoint. For yester- day the Yankees slugged cut a vic tory over the Whi,e Sox. 10 6, while Boston downed the Indians twice, to 2 and ? to 0.
 The Yankees needed plenty of hitting 10 win for their pitching and fielding were atrocious Earl Combs shot out five blows in five appear ances, two of them doubles and Tony Lazzeri made his fourteenth home run of the year with two on base.
 Cleveland's defeats were due to heavy hitting in the first contest and excellent pitching by Zahnizer who allowed only five hits. in the second. George Burns of Cleveland recorded three doubles in the first contest and one in the second.
 Detroit put over three runs in the ninth and one in the tenth to hum bie the Athletics, to 3, with Al Simmons Of the Mackmen hitting his thirteenth circuit blow of the season. Stoner and Dauss held Philadelphia ot six safeties.
 Cincinnati kept Pittsburgh well in sight in the National by taking both sides of a double bill from the Bos- ton Braves, 1 to and to 2. Carl Mays and Adolfo Luaue pitching gilt-edged ball In the opening fray the submarine hurler granted only five hits and his one-run lead gained in the first inning was enough. Lu- que allowed eight but kept them scattered. Although 1t was rally in the eighth after the game had been halted by rain that brought victory to the Reds.
 Pittsburgh overwhelmed the Phil lies. fl to 2. gaining an even break in the series. Pie Traynor delivered four of his teams 22 base hits while waner, Cuyler and Smith furnished three each. The veteran Joe Bush had little trouble in the box. Five hits being gained from his delivery. The game saw five home runs. by Wright, Bush and Grantham of the Pirates and Leach and Sand of the Phils.
 Chicago and New York divided double bill. the first going ot the Giants, 5 to 1, and the second to the Cubs, to 8. Bush and Kaufmann of the Cubs limited the New York attack to five safeties in the second.

KAPLAN BEATS CELLO
Former Featherweight Champion Makes Impressive Debut in Light weight Ranks.

New York, Aug. 4. Rl- Louis (kid) kaplan, who dropped the featherweight boxing crown several weeks ago has made an impressive debut as a lightweight at the ex- pense of an injured left hand.
 Sometime during his contest with Tommy Cello of Los Angeles at the Queensboro stadium last night kap- lan's left hand found a hard spot and will have to be x-rayed before the extent of the damage is known. He won almost every round of the 10-round contest and had his op- ponent near knockout in the eighth. -....
 kaplan scaled 134.and appeared to have as much speed as ever. He relinquished the featherweight crown because of inability to make the weight without endangering his health.

YOUTHFUL TENNIS
 STARS IN TOURNEY
Edward (. Chandler and Alfred
 H. Chapin J., Meet Veterans

Seabright. N. J., Aug. 4 R- Challenges from two youthful Davis cup team aspirants commanded in- terest in the annual Seabright ten his tournament today as a prelim- mary test of strength to tryouts next week at Forest Hills, N. '.
 Fitted against Vincent Richards in the lower half of the quarter finals was the two-time intercollegi- ate champion, Edward G. Chandler of the University of California. while a match in the upper half called upon the Spanish internation- alist Manuel Alonzo, to try the mettle of young Alfred H. Chapin, Jr.. of Springfield, Mass.
 Of the two new candidates for po- sitions on Americas defending cup team, Chandler was by far the most impressive yesterday in his decisive triumph over George Lott of Chica- go, who held place in the first ten two weeks ago. After Lott had been extended by the young Texan, Berkeley Bell, in first round match he offered an ineffective defense to the accurate driving and crisp vol leying of the workmanlike Chandler, who quickly settled their second round contest by scores of GA, 6-1
 Chapin won over the chop stroke veteran from Philadelphia, Wallace F. Johnson, because youth seemed the better able to toll on under a blistering sun. Early in the match Chapin fell back before the sharp twisting cuts of the Quaker City player, losing by 2-6, but as the sec ond set progressed the veterans at tack began to lose its power, and Chapin, pressing boldly to the net, carried off the verdict at 10-S. He then overwhelmed his foe in the closing set without dropping a game
 Chapins triumph was one of three hard fought battles, another of which marked the passing from the tournament of Lionel Ogden, young Leland Stanford university player who had accomplished the unexpect- ed downfall of R. Norris Williams on Monday. ogden began against Francis T. Hunter with a 6-2 vic- tory, but here the powerful strok- ing New York player stopped the rush and captured the next two sets, 6-4, 6-1.
 This victory qualified Hunter to face the former South Africa star, B. I. c Norton, who eliminated Jerome Lang of New York by 6-2. 6-3 Takiichi Harada of Japan and William NJ. Johnston also gained the quarter finals.
 Semi finals of the women's singles found Helen Wills meeting Eleanor Goss and Elizabeth Ryan facing Mrs. Molla B. Ballory. All triumph ed in straight sets although Miss Wills was carried to IA games in the final set to win from Mrs. A. H, Chapin, Jr., the former Charlotte Hosmer

WASHINGTON JUST
 BEATS OUT SMITH
Boys League Leaders Lucky to Slave Off Defeat by, ,SOuthenders
League Standing

The Washington baseball team was very fortunate, yesterday after noon in winning out from the Smith team. It was only through a spirit ed rally in the last half of the ninth that the league leaders were able to pull through to overcome two run lead and score the extra run neces- isary for victory.
 The Smith team played wonderful ball behind the excellent pitching of Dobkowski and committed only one error during the entire nine innings. Perkowsk occuped the mound for Washington and he pitched @ nice game. He felt himself slipping in the eighth and he retired in favor lof the Washington ace, Lipka, and Lipka went wild in the ninth to walk one man and hit another and thSse with a misplay resulted in Smith breaking a 5-aIl tie and go- ing two in the lead. Then in the last half, Washington came through with three singles which, coupled with fielder's choice that failed to put anyone out and a hit batsman, accounted for three runs, one of them being the winning counter.
 Washington got it's five runs early. IOne came in in the first on Villas error, stolen base and a passed ball Another runner counted in .the second on walk, a stolen base and passed ball. The third was the big inning when three were scored. A single started things, a triple followed and two singles and a walk made the Washington lead pretty heavy.
 When Washington stopped, Smith started. The fourth saw one run come in. Meligonis hit two bagger but he was put out at the plate on a. throw from left field on a single. w. Wilczenski scored on two singles, but the four hits only brought in one run. The fifth resulted in two coming in. A walk and three singles tells the story. Two more tied the score in the seventh. Two singles and sacrifice brought in Meligonis and W. Wilcaenski with the counters that evened the game
 Then real baseball was played uu- til the ninth when Smith broke the tie only to have the Washington team win out ill the last half of the frame. Todzia with a one handed catch of Dobllowskfs liner in the first and@ his bare handed stab of. l.. Argosy's drive through third fur nished the fielding features of the game Meligonis with three out of four was the heavy swatter for Smith while Toczko, Marcinzyk and .Perkowsl1i help+d plenty the Wash ington team. Bogdanski appeared to play in the ninth and at his time at bat, he crashed out the first single to start the winning rally. The score:

Paradise Park Wins

The Paradise Parks got back into their winning stride yesterday after noon at the expense of the Burritts whom they defeated by a score of 13 to l. The winners hit the ball hard at all stages of the game and were always out in front. The Bur ritts were unable to offer much op- position to the Paradise Parks and thus took the short end of the score once again.
 Lipman and Cohen furnished the real hitting of the game in the seventh inning wlen with one man on in each occasion, they busted the apple to deep left field for a home run. Both clouts came within a few minutes of each other and land ed in about the same place Chick" Baylock also busted them plenty with three singles. Sowa of the Burritts was the heavy hitter for his team with two bingles in three trips.
 Pienkowski started on the mound for the Burritts and after striking out the first batter was touched for several hits that netted the winners three runs. Truman was safe on first when Markavski failed to touch the bag. Miller sent long single to centerfield on which Truman scored. Another bingle to centerfleld off the bat of Cohen drove in Miller and Cohen reached second on an error. Jim O'Brlen lined one down the short field that was unused up, al- lowing Cohen to score with the third run. In the third three more runners crossed the plate on several sharp hits to the outer garden. aid ed by the wildness of Plenkowsli, who issued several free tickets,
 The Burritts smote the ball hard in the third frame and on two doubles by sowa and Malain SCOT
