DRY SKIN
QueStion-My skin is very

without making the dryness
worse? Will you please let me
know what to do? L. b.
AnSwer-Rarely is there a
skin so sensitive as to be irri-

bland neutral soap. However,
there are supersensitive skins
that feel drawn and taut after
the use of some soaps. When
this is the case it is advisable
to use a cold or cleansing cream,
Oil or lotion before the use of
soap and water, or it may be

TIGERS FATTEN
GR|FFS LEAD
By Times Staff Correspondent

By Times Staff Correspondent
CLEVELAND, Aug. 29.-There's
always that cloud around a sill
yer lining, the Griffs are shout
ing today.
And for this reason. Yester-
day, Manager Cronin and his
men had to idle because of the
Cleveland Indians management
calling off the scheduled ball
game on account of supposedly
poor weather.
The New York and Detroit
Tigers played their scheduled con-
test in the meantime. This i'm
mediately brought about a fear
from Griff hearts that the Yam
KEGS would gain much-needed
half game in the race for first
place honors by virtue of a vic
tory over the Tigers.
But no, those claw-eating
Michigan boys crossed up the
dope by defeating the Yanks in
stead with the result the Griffs
were able to gain an unexpected
half game, much to their joy,
hope, cheerfulness and what have
you.
Now, the Griffs lead the Yanks
by eight and one-half games in
stead of the seven and one-haf
advantage that would have ruled
had the Yanks defeated the
Tigers. And is there laughter
and good cheer among the Griffs'
ranks today. The Griffs play a
doubleheader today with the In
dians, weather permitting. Buddy
Myer, who turned up i'll Sunday,
will be available to play, having
recovered from his stomach
trouble. but it is expected Man.
ager Cronin will keep him on the
sidelines as a precautionary
measure.
Sam Rice, however, might not
be able to pinch hit or pinch run
for anybody. No, nothing serious
with am, but the veteran turned
up with a bit of stomach trouble
himself last night, taking Myers
place in bed almost Immediately
after Buddy had gotten up and
pranced around the hotel lobby
again.
Trainer Mike Martin expects
to have Sam up and at 'em
again by tonight. "Just a bit

The Griffs, when they won their
first pennant back in 1924, had
big Fred Marberry on the roster
and what this huge Texasan
didn't do toward helping team to
the flag that season would be one
for the books. AS it was, what
he did do filled that book to
several times its size.
Your Uncle Clark Griffith.
president of the Griffmen, traded
this star away from his club last
winter during that hectic week IN
December when he remolded his
1888 entry almost overnight.
Some called Griff crazy for get
ting rid of so valuable a guy when
so many others had been gathered
together for what looked to be
another pennant-Winning aggrega-
ton.
But Griff waved all the SCOTS
off by reminding everybody that
he had secured young fellow by
the name of Jack Russell to take
Marberry'S place-a lad who was
going to be entrusted with Mar
berry's former role as chief relief
pitcher of the team. A guy that
was going to be successful If only
given the chance to perform with
q winning combination.
Become COntenders.
Plenty of history has happened
since Griff waved away these
Scoffers. The Griffs have be-
come downright pennant con-
tenders, in fact, have pulled the
pennant almost within arms
reach, while Jack Russell, the
guy supposed to fill Marberrys
shoes, has done just that with
plenty to spare.
) Now, an interesting contrast
comes up for discussion here in
the respective values of Russell
and Marberry to their new teams
Marberry. who was traded to the
Detroit Tigers for Earl White
hill, has won Is games for the
Tigers this year. Russell, &C
quired from the Cleveland In
dians for Harley Boss, has wor

B D B O'FARRELL
GETSREVENGE
ON GIANTS

Like some long.forgotten skele-
ton rusting away in the family
closet, Bob O'Farrell, near 40 and
long on baseball's seamy side,
plaques the New York Giants.
The St. Louis Cardinal catcher,
cast adrift by the New Yofkers
because he had failed to hit, bat
tered two blazing homerS at the
Polo Grounds yeSerday and his
second blow, coming in the ninth
with one man on, so upset the
National League leaders seven
runs crossed the plate before Bill
Terry's men could get the side OUT.
The final score was st. Louis
IL, New York 8, and only the fact
that Bostons Braves bowed in
another defeat prevented the
Giants from getting a smashing
punch in their final drive for
the pennant. AS it was they
emerged six games ahead of the
second-place Tribe, with Chicago
Pittsburgh and st. Louis coming
In bunch behind, still threaten
ing and far from out of a last
ditch struggle for honors.
Master Winding Fails
Terry's master-minding, as he
replaced Pitcher Roy Parmalee
with young Hal Schumacher and
finally introduced Bill Clark to
stop things, availed nothing.
O'Farrell, Martin, Frisch and
Medwick just kept hammering
that ball from all angles like a
man beating a rug. Vance, who
worked for the Cards with Dean
and Carleton, was credited with
the win, with Schumacher getting
the debit charge.
Fred C'Red''D Lucas, one Of
baseball's better mound gents,
humbled the Braves in a spar
king shutout, 2 to 0, allowing only
two hits, while behind him the
Cincinnati Reds grabbed six off
Ed Brandt. Hafey got two safe
ties and scored both Of the Reds
runs.
Pittsburgh's Pirates, biggest dis
appointment in the league, man
aged to turn in a twin bill tri-
umph over the Phillies, 9-5 and
t9-1. Trailing to 2 at the start
of the sixth inning in the opener,
the Bucs knocked out Elliott
and ganged up on Pitcher Berly
in the eighth for three hits that
iced the affair. Homers by
Vaughan, with two on, and Lind
strom, featured the rout in the
nightcap. Chagnon and French
were the successful hurlers.
SOrrell Dreams
Vic Sorrell dreamed of a per-
feet game for five innings as
the New York Yankees continued
to flop, failing to reach first
base but finally the Detroit
hurler weakened and he had to
be content with a 6-to-1 success
Gehringer got two hits and drove
in four tallies for the Tigers
Ruth, back from the bench, sin
Eled in the ninth to score Dixie
Walker with the Yanks' only run
Philadelphia started hammer
ing Sam Jones in the seventh
and continued against Ted Lyons
In the ninth to record a 9-to-5
beating of Chicago's White SoX
Jim Peterson, who took over
for Sugar Cain, limited the SoG
to three hits in four innings and
was credited with the victory.

is this:
Answer Is 'NO"
Would Marberry have been as
valuable to the Griffs this year
as Russell has been, figuring Mar
berry as relief pitcher as always
before? The answer most GER
tainly should be, no" For Mar
berry has been used chiefly as a
starter for the Tigers this season
because he has absolutely had to
have tree or four days rest in be-
tween assignments. Russell. who
has been able to step "in there"
every day, if necessary, and he's
been able to do it because OF his
youth.
And so it might be said that
your Uncle Clark Griffith knew
what he was doing when he traded
Marberry away from the Griffs
last winter, for he's capitalized
twofold on his gamble as White
hill not only has pitched as well
as Marberry as far as starting and
finishing games are concerned.
but has won two more to date,
Earl's winning total reading 18 to
Marberry's 16. And then to top
it all off, Russell has come
through splendidly in Marberry's
former role as relief pitcher, by
not only being able to save games,
but winning a total of II of 'em as
we'll.
Who was it that said the "Old
Fox" could be out-foxed? They
were wrong, brethren, they were
wrong.

BRIDGES WERE WEAKENED BY
 HIGH WATERS

WASHINGTON, Aug 25. Two train accidents occurred yesterday when bridges, weakened by the high waters, collapsed and sent the trains plunging into the streams.
 The most disastrous wreck oc- cured on the train en route here from New York City. This train plunged into the bank of the Po- tomac river when the bridge ac- ross that river collapsed. Four per sons were killed and 13 injured in this accident.
 A second bridge, across the Ana Costia river collapsed when the first express, bound for New Orleans, plunged out on the weakened struc- ture and plunged down to bury it. self in the bank. The engineer and fireman were killed instantly. Sev- eral others injured in the latter wreck are said to be resting easily in hospitals.
