eight chain cs in each of the four
first Ka;iu-s tapping it off with nine
in lii.s ii. xt and eleven in the next.
Thompson's record is not quite so
spectcular as that, but is is along
the fume or dor. In bis first f.?ur!
games he accepted 5.13, lo and 7:
respectively?a total of 35,. which is
better by thre?* than Grantham did.
in his first four starts.
Thompson, by the way, made his
35 without an error. Since then he
has been going at a good clip and as
he seems to be a fair hitter. Omaha j
may be minus a second baseman!
when the next baseball season starts.!
Some big league may grab him.
Thompson would have been a
Columbia student had he remained'
in the East. He won a scholarship
at Columbia for his work at George ?
Washington School, New York, but!
gave up college to play ball.
Hodap, the 18 year old Indiana-!
poslis boy who attracted so much
attention in the South by the ease
with which he played shortstop, hasj
not been released, as many expect-;
ed, but is in Indianapolis gaining ex-,
perience under Bush and will be'
ready to play by another year. 1
Judging by the skill he showed in'
Florida, it should not be long before I
the scouts begin to nominate hinij
for the bigger league.
Kelleher, who was with the Chi-j
cago Cubs and then was sent along
to Boston and from Boston to PittB-|
burgh, has been passed along tot
Kansas City in order that Pittsburgh I
might make good the promise ltj
made to Kansas City when it got
Wright as a shortstop. This is one
of the kind of moves on which ball
players kick.
Tommy Long failed to do any
thing with Brooklyn, and has been
returned to Mobile with an option
string on him by which Brooklyn
can reclaim him if he shows any
thing or can be used in a trade.
Long has no curve, but he has an
abundance of nerve.
Connie Mack's pitchers are not
only, -out of condition, but two or
of them act as if they never
expected to get in condition. Hasty
gave about as slovenly exhibition of j
pitching in the first start In New
York as could be expected of a kid
suffering from growing pains. Mack
Is facing a hard situation and he
knows it. More trouble seems to
have fermented in his pitching staff
than in his batting and fielding.
Poor pitching is what has kept the
athletics down where they are.

New York. May 8?When the ex
ecutive committee and other ira- I
portant committees of the United
States Golf Association meet at tho
Morris County Golf Club. Morris
town, New Jersey, on Friday and
Saturday there will be no profess
ional problem to vex them. Long
ago were the sheep divided from the
goats ftnd both graze in their own
pastures without friction. Every
thing will be happy as a wedding at
this two day session, at which, de- 1
tails of the coming Walker Cup
aiatch will be arranged, dinners will
be held and leading amateurs will
play special matches.
In the meantime, tennis clubs af
filiated with the U. S. Lawn Tennis
Association are holding secret meet
ings?see Germantown on Tuesday
and Tllden is traveling about mak
ing friends everywhere.
? Otto Laakso, is one Finnish ath
Sftie who seems sincere in his de
sire to become an American citizen.
He has already taken out his sec
ond citizenship papers and expects
to remain here for life. Laakso has
all the qualifications of a great mar
athoner and was expected to per
form great feats In the Boston race.
But he developed a sore foot before
the event and was unable to start.
The chances are that at the Olym
pic of 1928 he will be quite a pros
pect for the American team.
Baseball's claims as a perilous
sport have been brought to the fore
by the injury of Kipke, Michigan's
centerflelder. who Is out of the
game temporarily at least with an
injured knee. It will be recalled
that Kipke has been playing football
tf three years without material In
Most football players who go
in for baseball will tell you that the
gridiron game holds nothing so
nerve wracking as standing at bat
against a pitcher who has got a
whole lot of smoke.

Question?Who was the best
player in the American League and
in the National League In 1923?
Answer?A matter solely of per
sonal opinion and there is absolutely
no way by which the best player can
be defined. In one team it might
appear to be a pitcher and in
another a fielder. Best player
theories are only what one man be
lieves and tries to make another be
lieve. 1

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Youngl Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractlvenesa
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
?ray, streaked and faded hair beauti
ully dark and luxuriant. Just a few
applications will prove a revelation if
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur rec
ipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get a bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
i at any drug store all ready for use.
This is the old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients,
w While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
1 youthful appearance and attractiveness.
| By darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so naturally,
so evenly. You just dampen a sponge
? or soft brush with it and draw this
! through your hair, taking one small
| strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two, your hair be
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft an ?
luxuriant.
