Connie Mack, whatever his other thoughts may be on the strange subject, is fervently hoping that the history of 1925 does not repeat itself.
 Five years ago, after ten suc- cessive years of tearing down and building up the Athletics, Connie Mack thought he had the win ming combination. So did many others, and so it appeared as late as September, with the As setting the pace. But when it came down to the home streach, the As could not beat Washington, Connie Mack 5 hopes were blasted and the Sena- tors captured the pennant for the second straight year.
 It took the As some time to re- cover from this shock. Finally, last year, it seemed that Mack and his maulers had run the Washington jinx to earth, so successfully in fact that the As pennant victory was due chiefly to almost complete dominance over the Senators.
 Now, however, in one of the strangest twists and turns baseball fortune has known, the Senators again have gained ascendency over the present worlds champions. Able to whip every other club in the league with something to spare, the As lost seven of their first nine games with Washington. Twice this spring the champions have gone to the head of the class only to be abruptly hauled away from there by Walter Johnson's surprising club, 8 Seventh-place choice when the 1880 campaign opened.
 "Cld Barney" as they call John son in Washington, has known about every turn of baseball for tune except the distinction of pilot ing a pennant winner. At the peak of his pitching powers, he toiled for a consistent second division out fit. After Is years he got into the worlds series, only to be pounded mercilessly until the last chance came-and was seized-for a heroic finish in the final game against the Giants in 1924.
 Starting the 1925 series against Pittsburgh, Johnson was the strike out king of old He won his first two starts but he was over worked and tired when it came to holding his own in the last game. Old Bar ney stuck it out in the rain and mist, but the Pirate punch and persistence beat the old master, destroying his chance to enter the hall of fame as triple winner in worlds series competition.
 Among those to pay tribute to Johnson's squirting Senators, is their one-time boy manager, Bucky liar ris, now having his troubles with the helm at Detroit.
 They're playing great ball" Har- ris told me, "and there is no one in baseball I wish better luck than Barney He was great help to me when I handled the Washington club and he has the respect of everyone in and out of the game. The most striking thing to me is the way those old-timers, Sam Rice and Joe Judge, are playing. They are the life of the team, and if they keep it up, Washington will be hard to beat"
 Goslin normally has been the big Senator gun but Judge and Rice, swatting from .350 to 400 all spring, have set the club pace, with Myer, Cronin, West and Bluege also clouting at better than 300 clip.

THERE'S ONE THING that

 4 making girl really alluring, says Clara Bow, whose vivid beauty and personality have won her rld-famc in motion pictures. It's lovely skin.
 "You may have n1arvelously appeal ing cycs-and lot of charm-and Q beautiful figure.
 But just notice the way people cluster around a girl who has lovely skin! And any girl can have lovely skin if she takes good care of it..

 You sec, motion picture directors found out long ago that unless girl has marvellous skin she can never make millions of hearts beat faster when she appears in a closeup. The incandes- cent lights reveal the tinicst flaw in the skin!
 That's why we motion picture ac. trcsscs have to keep our skin at its very best every minute.
