NEEDED CATCHERS

We'll. on our recent western
trip, I got desperate for catchers-
what with Livingston suddenly call
ed home by his wife'S illness So l
ask for volunteers, KNOWN all the
time who's going TO pop up and ask
for the chance. OF course, Bragan
volunteered, SO 1 put him in a
game at St Louis and he worked
like a charm. Bill Killefer coach
has been working with him,
smoothing out some rough spots. In
a little while Bragan will be tops
behind the plate Say-why don't
you 90 over there and talk to Bra
gan? That's him over there with
'21' on his back
Bobby Bragan IS strapping,-
haired, bronzed lad from Bir-
mingham, Ala, who stands close to
six feet and is built like a light
heavyweight.
What did the Alabaman think of
Joberts experiment?
Il think it's puffect,' drawled
Bragan. Why been amin at a
catcher's berth for the five years
I been in pro ball, but they always
need infielders and had catchers.
I started out as a catcher in high
school and during three seasons
of American Legion PLAY. But when
] started with Panama City of the
Alabama Florida league in 81, it
was at third base and shortstop
TOO SLOW
Bragan explained frankly that he
knew he never would make a great
infielder because ne vas too slow
afoot- in starting after drives and
grass-choppers. OF course, when he

NEW YORK, Aug. 11-UP) -
Clark Griffiths investment in
pitchers of tender years has already
paid him handsome dividends-Sid
Hudson, for eXample-and today it
looks as though the 'old fox" of
the Washington Senators has found
another bargain in young Walter
Masterson.
The six-foot highlander fash
ioned his fourth Shutout Of the sea-
son last night as the Senator's
blanked the Red Sox, 10, in the
nightcap of their twilight double
header before 1900 fans at Wash
ington. The Mats won the opener
behind Hudson, 9-3, the double kill
ing stretching their winning streak
to four in row and their current
record to nine victories in II starts.
TANNED THREE
MasterSon has now marked up
whiteWaShings against the Indians,
Athletics, Tigers and Red Sox, his
other victory coming by one run
over the Browns He struck out
three, walked three and left six Red
SoX runners stranded. The scna-
tors put over the games lone run
in the first inning when Stan Spence
singled and raced home on Bruce
Campbells double.
Hudson kept nine Boston hits
Well-Scattered in the first game to
earn his eighth triumph.
The Yankees split with the Ath-
letics. Tiny Bonham racked up his
18th victory and provided the Yanks
with an even break in the night
cap 80, after Philadelphia had
won the opener, Al. Red Rolfe'S
sixth homer scored the first Yankee
run in the nightcap and Phil Riz-
zuto's single drove in the second
marker in the fourth. Then Riz-
zuto scored what proved to be the
game winner when he forced Bill
Dickey, advanced on sacrifice and
tailed on Buddy Hassett's single.
Red Ruffing blanked the AS for
six innings of the opener, but was
raped for four runs in the seventh.
Buddy Blair's triple with the bases
loaded and two out was the decid-
ing blow Dick Fowler held the
Yanks hitless for the first six in
nings.
NINTH IN ROW
The Chicago White Sox won their
ninth in a row by defeating the In
dians last night 81 The Sox col
lected only five hits off Chubby
Dean but scored single runs in each
of three innings, while Johnny
Humphries kept II blows scattered
enough to win his eighth victory.
The Dodgers restored their Ma
ticnal league lead to nine games by
blanking the Phils, 60, as the
Cards lost at Pittsburgh. Kirbe

hits for his 11th victory while the

A Prominent Business
Woman Praises Mme.C .J.
Walkers Preparations

2 Il use Nine. c. j. Walkers
preparations exclusively be-
cause I get results from them
that am unable to get from any
other preparation" stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Mime. c. J. Walkers
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam c. j. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today.
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular. and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they r still in demand every
where.
o Mime. c. J. Walkers Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
OF every woman.
Nine. G. ]. Walkers Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result Of
years of experimenting to pro-
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh

days.

We often think of a woman with
q lovely skin as being blessed by
nature. And, Of course, she is. But
credit is due her too, for she knows
that a lovely skin can be kept beau
tiful only by her own efforts. She
knows that it takes constant vigi-
lance and care to guard against en-
1arged pore openings, blackheads,
oily shine, or rough, scaly skin due
to dryness. She knows that scrupu-
lous cleanliness and good health
plays an important role.
If your complexion isn't all 1t
should be, it isn't too late to restore
its loneliness. Start a campaign
right now for keeping it glowingly
clean, and work hand in hand with
nature and improve it from within
by taking extra good care of your
health.
Here are a few simple "musts'
for vibrant health. Eat three, bal
anced meals a day containing plenty
of green vegetables, fresh fruits,
milk, butter, cream and eggs. Drink
lots of water-at least eight glasses
a day. Get as much fresh air and
exercise as you can, and sleep at
least eight hours each night. This
last might seem a bit difficult, but
a good average to shoot at.
Now for the outside. In many
sections of the country wintry days
with smoke-filled air mean more and
more care of your skin if you aspire
to a pretty complexion. However,
the following routine is equally
good for the lass from the sunny
south.
If your skin is the oily type, soap
and water is your best bet. Use il
literally two or three times a day
Be careful in your selection of soap
Find a mild one that does not irri-
tate your face and stick to it. After

CHINA
China has been known as a CIV

years. Her philosophers, states
men and leaders of commerce have
made a lasting impression on civ
ilization.
Her living is oriental. All the
functions of their government and
social system are performed by
Cinnamon in the manner of the
Far East. And like many parts
of the world, she permits the
strong to Cypress and exploit the
weak. Thus, when Japan inVad-

peasants and cared less. Now
however, for the first time in many

skin gently. Always use an upward
movement when applying or remov-
ing anything from your face. Some
times you will want to give your
face a thorough going over with
cold cream. Then you use the
transparent, liquifying kind, and
after wiping it off with tissue, you
remove every trace with a poppy
skin freshener. If you are bothered
with a little ~courseness down the
center Of your face, maybe a few
blackheads on the forehead, nos or

use a white Opaque cleansing

it on carefully right up to the hair

soft tissues. For a thorough job
use two coats.

JOE LOUIS AND THE NAVY
Last Friday night Joe Louis de-
feated Buddy Baer in a champion
ship fight at New York. He gave
! his whole purse Of 100000 to
the Navy Relief Fund. For this
he has been criticised in many
quarters. To these criticisms
Louis answers that he knew what
he was doing, Notwithstanding the
fact that the United States Navy
for whom he rendered his service
would not permit him to enlist as
a seaman.
This action on the part of Joe
Louis should put the leaders OF
government to shame and hasten
the end of the foolish discrimin-
alton against coIored men in the
U. S. Navy.
Louis is not only a splendid
athlete, but a fine American

If a boy and girl want to neck
go and do it. But you all know
what it sometimes leads to. If
you think you a control passion.

where you neck. This shouldn't
