Army Calls Hit
Tom Yawkey's
Pennant Chance
BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Aug. 7. CUP)-Tom
Yawkey, who has spent more than
S4OO0.000 on the Boston Red SoX
during his 12-year quest for an
American league pennant, seems to
have been stymied again-by the
fortunes of war.
Uncle Sans impartial hand is
reaching for some of YaWkey's stel-
lar performers. This gesture seems
certain to blast the pennant pros
poets of the second-place Bosox.
best hitting club in the circuit.
The loss of big Tex Hughson,
alone, might be a mortal blow to
the YaWkeymen whose weakest de-
partment is pitching. Hughson, tall,
righthanded ace of the mound staff.
announced Sunday that he would
pitch probably his last game for
the duration against the White SoX
Wednesday. His draft board has
indicated that he will be called to
active duty in the navy by August
%.
AS farewells are being readied
for Hughson, five other Red SoX
await service calls. Second Base
man Bobby Doerr, who is fighting
Tor the leagues batting champion
ship, passed his military physical
examination last week, along with
Centerfielder Leon Culberson and
Catchers Roy Partee and Bill Con-
roy. Meanwhile, Catcher Hal Wag-
ner expects to be called to the
navy within week. He enlisted
with Hughson last March.
Because of the clubs mound diff
flculties, Owner YaWkey tossed more
money into the pot last Week-re-
portedly about $3oOoO-for the pur-
chase of Rex Cecil from the San
Diego Padres of the Pacific coast
league.

II STOPPED DOSING
my CONSTIPATION
A YEAR AGO!"
Says Happy
KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN User

If you are still dosing your con-
stipation, don't fail to read this
unsolicited letter!
I'D been troubled with common consti-
patton for years. Tried many kinds of
medicines for it, Then, just about year
ago tried KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN. I
ate it regularly, without missing day. It
helped so much. l have not taken one dose
Of medicine for constipation since. nor have
! confined myself to any diet!" Mr.. S. p.
Loebe. Charleston. Missouri.
Sounds like magic, doesn't it?
But, scientists say, KELLOGG'S
ALL-BRAN can really "get at" a
common cause of constipation -
lack of dietary "cellulosic" ele-
ments-because it is one of Ma
ture's most efectiye sources of
these elements! They help the
friendly colonic fora fluff up and
prepare the colonic contents for
easy elimination. KELLOGG'S
ALL-BRAN is not a purgative!
Doesn't "sweep you out"l It's
gentle-acting, Regulating" food!
If you have constipation of
this kind, eat KELLOGG'S
A LII BRAN, or several
ALL-BRAN mullins regularly.
Drink plenty Of water. See if you
don't find real relief. Insist on
genuine ALL-BRAN, made only by
kellogg's in Battle Creek.
