league clubs while 1 liked Chicago for
a first division berth, at least two,
possibly three clubs, looked stronger
making fourth place the resting spot
of the Cubs
In discussing the National race with
Killefer the other day, commented
on the fact that the Cubs didn't look
overly strong on paper.
Chicago has a good club that has
the possibilities of developing into
great one," said Killefer.
II admit the lineup isn't impressive
as you peruse it in the papers, but it
has plenty of power, which is very
necessary these days -Four or five
players on the club are liable to break
up any old ball game with an extra
base hit.
However, it is the pitching staff
Of the Cubs that / like best, in con-
sidering the chances of the club to
win the pennant. 1t is young staff
that has definitely arrived and can
stand plenty of work."
When asked him if he didn't
think Pittsburgh and st. Louis
had better all-rOund machines
he answered by getting back to
the all-impOrtant feature-pitch-
ing.
WHY HE LIKES CUBS
"In a man for man comparison,
pitching excepted, the Pittsburgh club
would probably rate as strong as any
in the majors. The st. Louis Car
dinals would be very far behind.
"Since pitching is the most essen
tial asset these days, it is wrong to
say these clubs are so much better
than the Cubs in drawing COM
pariSon.
my dope is that the excellent
pitching staff of the Cubs more than
outweighS the advantage some OF the
others have over Chicago in the in
field and the outfield.
Root is one of the best pitchers IN
the game. Bush is not far behind.
Blake is a good man and the rest OF
the staff is above the average. Best
of all, it is a young staff that can
stand work and should be good 1or
many years.

opinion can be heard cmanaTing

KILLEFER LIKES CUBS

Who will win the pennant in the
National league?
At present, four clubs are strongly
in the running, Chicago, Pittsburgh,
st. Louis and New York.
About 100 points separate the first
and fourth teams, margin that can
be quickly cut down by slump on
the part of the leaders.
Bill Kellefer, in going over the
chances of the four clubs in the pen
nant fight, believes Chicago has by
far the best chance to come through.
Bill Kellefer if you have forgotten,
for years managed the Chicago Cubs.
Last season he helped Rogers Hornsby
pilot the st. Louis Cardinals to a
pennant and a worlds championship.
All of which makes him very COM
petent to express an opinion on the
outcome of the 1927 race in the Ma
tional league.

But the warm bath is essential
for cleansing purposes. Soap is
essential to remove grease, which
is always present, even though it
may not be noticeable. 1t is not
necessary to use strong soap
money spent in good soap is well
invested. Cheap soap is nearly
always far too alkaline. and may
be injurious in other ways. Some
skins cannot stand soap OF any
kind, and these can be dealt with
by putting handful of bicar.

by rubbing with bran or oatmeal.
Medicated soap Is unnecessary. 1t

be given to hairy parts and folds.
Those who have dry skins should
use mild curd or CASTLE soap, and

Warm baths are beneficial at
night, as they frequently exert a
sedative effect and lead to sleep.
Sleep is beneficial to the skin, for
the skin Is intimately connected
with the nervous system. Hence
the old saying, "Beuaty sleep be-

better than a cold one, for it

Insomnia and disturbed nights

Sea water baths, hot or cold,

it is as well to clean off the sea

Antiseptic baths and strong

WARNING GIVEN TO MOTORISTS
Slowing Down at Street and Road In
tersecti0ns is Important to Do

Recent automobile crashes at street
and road intersections lead the Della
ware Automobile Association to warn
against the increasing carelessness of
motorists in all-important matter of
keeping their cars under control at
crossings.
In Wilmington alone" says a state
ment by the Association several
deaths and numerous injuries have
been caused by the senseless habit of
dashing across street intersections.
Throughout Delaware, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey the experience has
been virtually the same. In fact, it
can be said that this form Of motor
accidents has almost become epidemic.
1.-TWO souls with but a single
thought seems a particularly appro-
pirate slogan for the crossing crash
ers, but the rest of the poetical ex-
preston, unfortunately, is a misfit.
Usually it happens that instead of the
hearts beating as one the hearts stop
beating altogether and the Coroner
marks up another fatality due to joint
carelessness of the men at the wheel.
fit is the absolute height Of folly
for any motorist to assume he is the
only user of the highway; yet that is,
IN effect, the assumption Of the driver
who approaches a street crossing or
road intersection without having his
car in such control he can stop at a
seconds notice.
"While the law recognizes the mo-
torist approaching from the right has
the right of way, it is utterly foolish
for him to contest this right with an
