In 1925 the Mackmen were second;
in 1925 they were third; IN 1927 they
were second to a great Yankee team.
They were second to the Yanks again
last year, but here Mack gamely met
anothed disappointment. He was Sec
ond with a team which should have
won.

This. after the years he had spent In
building, was enough to discourage al

sometimes gets back into active service
for an inning or two. But In place
of these stars of other times Mack now
has such stout fellows as Simmons,
Foxx, Cochrane, Miller, Earnshaw,
Grove, Walberg and Dykes.
Don't forget Dykes. Whenever the
battle line was broken it was Dykes
who stepped into the break. Dykes has
had as much to do with the success Of
the Athletics as any of those who are
more often praised. And Connie also
will have Ehmke and Quinn, pitchers
who may do more than Is expected OF
them.
with all those right-hand hitters on
the Chicago team. Mack must some
times wish that Bender and Coombs
were in their prime again. What money
pitchers those two were!
The last series between the Athletics
and the Chicago Cubs was in 1910
Philadelphia took that series by a count
of four games to one. Coombs won
three games. Bender won a game and
lost a game. No other Philadelphia
pitchers we're needed or used. The total
attendance in that series was 124,222
The total receipts were $173,980. The
total receipts of this series will make
that former engagement look like small
business.

BOWIE, MT. RAINIER
TO PLAY FOR TITLE

EVANSVILLE, Md, September TO-
Bowie Motor Co. and Mount Rainier
mines will face next Sunday at 2:30
o'clock in a single game at Bowie for
the Prince Georges County unlimited
class base ball championship.
Bowie and Mount Rainier yesterday
split double header at Mount Rainier.
Bowie lost the first game, 6 to IL, but
won the second, to 2. The contests
were the last on the series schedule.
After they were over a coin was Tipped
to decide the scene Of the final decid-
ing game and Bowie won.
Frank CorkinS, Mount Rainier pit
cher, held the Bowie batters at bay
while his mates got to Lefty Jones,
Bowie ace, and Roche, for 16 bingles, to
enable the Mounts to take the frst
game. Ragged fielding also hurt Bowie
in this encounter.
Strong pitching by Ed Bryner, Bowie's
husky Southpaw, who limited Mount
Rainier to four hits and opportune hit
ting by his mates carried Bowie to its
victory in the second game.

But short or long, the white or sill

1t is properly shampooed, rinsed, dried

Here is a particularly good sham
poo for this type of hair: Slice a
eake of pure Castle soap and mix with

In drying white hair avoid strong
