Brea! k Wit h t he Lookouts Sports anc Sue! sill: STM D ENTRIES +•+ Giants and Sox May Play Here Acne attacks the glandular struc ture of the skin, more particularly those tiny glands that secrete fat. And it is here that S. 8. S., the famous olood purirter, is most active in its intluence. There is one ingredient in 8 8 S the purpose of which it is to stimu late the cells in the tissues that thus select from the blood the nutriment that makes new skin and thus elimi nates all irritants, acids and para sites that inflame the glands. There is a natural tendency of the fine network of blood vessels In the skin to throw off impurities, but where a persistent inflammatory process has Invaded the skin, the natural re pair work of the blood is interfered with. It requires the stimulating activity of S. S. S. to overcome such morbid conditions. If you have been troubled with acne, do not despair of a cure. You can get S. 8. S. in any drug store, but insist upon having it. The great Swift Laboratory in Atlanta. Ga.. prer^Lres this famous blood purifier, and you should take no chance by permitting anyone to rec- V ommend a substitute. And if your ■ ditlon is such that you would like to consult a specialist fruly, address the Medical Dept., The Swift Specific Company, 181 Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga. By O. B. Keeler. O NE more vindication of the the ory that the conventional man ner of prorating a double- header is* for each side to take one. It was largely a matter of pitchers. In the first game Joe Conzelman wasn’t quite so good as Floyd Kroh. and in the aftermaii, Gilbert Price plus Elliott Dent, had a thin eldge on Howell and Coveleskie. The fact that the tall Pole was sum moned again from the lumber yard testifies to the gentle affection for the Crackers that abounds in'the shadow of Lookout Mouhtain. The Tabasco Kid was doing his durndest to beat us all two of the games. And quite properly. Let’s trim ’em fighting, or get trimmed tt s same way. That’s what makes baseball worth while. * * • W E are going to have some distin guished company in a few' days. Ted Sullivan, one-time Southern Leaguer and now managing director of the Giants-White Sox world tour, is in New Orleans to-day arranging a lease on the Pelicans’ ball park for an exhibition gnme late in October. Mr. Sullivan expects to visit Bir mingham and Mobile on a similar mission. And then he is coming to Atlanta. Would Atlanta fans care to watch the White Sox and the Giants play ball? We pause for no answer. * * * M AJOR CADLAWAY, home again from Chattanooga, says ne hasn't heard anything about the proposed visitation, but doesn't see anything in the way of pulling , it off. The president, of the Crackers fancies there should be no trouble in arranging to let the big leaguers have Ponce DeLeon Park as a battle ground. And he is of the opinion that :t would be some considerable drawing card. » * • TT is rumored that Jud Daley, left *■ fielder for the Vols. may we ir | an Atlanta uniform soon. The understanding hereabout is indefinite, and Bill Smith probably will make the decision while in Nashville on the series beginning to-day. Daley in a good ball player and is very popular in Atlanta, but it ap pears unlikely that the Atlanta club will take him on if anything sub stantial has to be paid for him. If it comes about that Judson is available for his stipend alone, he may but into the present series against his old friends. * * * LJ ERE’S one we lamp from up Svra- 1 1 c use-way, in the New York State League; An umpire named Harrison had a tumultuous run-in with a ball player ! working under the entire misnomer of Good. Good had tried to steal third and was tagged when about fifteen I feet off the bag. True to bla reputation. Good let out an awful yelp and the fans an swered the call of the wild. ‘ You’re out of the game!” the um pire ordered. Good declined to nee it that way. “Get out of the lot,” was the next command. Good staved where he was as If he had taken root. Harrison called a big cop, standing in the crowd near the bleachers. ‘‘Take that man off the field,” he directed. The cop shook his head. “Nope,” he said firmly. Harrison was outraged. “Y o u won’t?” he roared, “And why not?” “He wasn’t out,” said the cop. And he stuck to it. • • • Q NCE more is the eternal and Emersonian law of compenMa- tion glutted with justification. For weeks the sport columns have echoed with the piteous roars of F. Chance, sometime Peerless Leader. It seems Mr Chance swapped Hal Chase for Zeider and Borton, of the White Sox, with the idea that Rollie was sound in wind and limb and his side- kick able to swing on the pill like a garden gate. We gather from the twittering that Mr. Zeider was afflicted with a bun ion and had to do his running on on* side, while Mr. Borton's batting re sembled the performance of the old est inhabitant of the Soldiers' Home killing flies with a newspaper. So. But now comes Mr. Callahan, who lately paid $18,500 in Comiskey coin and White Sox players for Larry Chappelle. “He’s got a warped knee and a kink in his hip,” wails Jimmy, “and he had ’em when T got him!" Mr. Chance should lie awake nigh's and grieve. * Great Tribute Paid Hal Chase by Harry Lord, of White Sox WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. — Harry Lord, the White Sox captain, discuss ing first basemen to-day, paid a great tribute to Hal Chase. Here is w ; hat the third baseman of the White Sox has to say about the former Yankee player: “Chase will save any infielder thirty errors in a season if the pair would work together through the year. Look what Chase did for me in the one game at St. Louis. I would have had two black marks to my discredit on that day. The papers would havn said Lord’s errors were responsible for the White Sox losing to the Browns 6 to 3, or something like that. With Chase over there we don’t have to worry. We can field the ball, shut our eyes, and make a throw, and he will it some way or other.’’ PLAIN NUTTY. He'd seen upon the sport page The tray that Ty Cobb cottars. Ami all the other dope that deals With betting odds and dollars; With gate receipts. percentages, Expenses, kicks and hollers. And then he put a question; His friends mere filled with I gloom. With sorrow did they cast him Into a padded room. He'd asked: "Is there a sport guy Not out for the mazumt t" * • • HAVING DEMONSTRATED TO our entire satisfaction that the Pacific coast players do not play tennis properly, the Kastern experts now have nothing: to do but dig up some one to beat them. Still it seems vt man’s size assignment. * * * BOTH GUNBOAT SMITH and Jim Flynn announce that they are training earnestly for their coming spear-running, but both omit to say why. • • • THE FIGHT PROMOTERS in Montana are breaking the law again.

But the French are notoriously callous about inculcating these principles of manliness and fair play in the youth of their city. They are so unrefined that they want to see a fight when they pay for one. * ‘ * “THE FANS ARE plentifully supplied with amusement in the two big leagues,’’ observes Hughey Jennings. Sure!

NO CHANCE FOR LAJ0IE TO LEAVE NAPS, SAYS BARNARD CLEVELAND, OHIO, Aug. 7.—An ah- solute denial of the rumor that Chicago, Boston and Cleveland teams are arrang ing a three-cornered deal which will take Second Baseman Lajoie awy from Cleveland was made to-day by K S. Barnard, vice president of the Naps. Manager Birmingham, of the Cleveland team, wired from Philadelphia saying he had no trade under way for Lajoie. N EW YORK, Aug. 7.—Ned Allis, who *\vafl runner-up in the West ern Golf Association at Chicago and i.«i the sensation in the Western golf world, began to play golf when he was only five years old, taking part in a tournament that year, with his father as tutor. It was not until four or five years ago, however, that Ned began to come to the front with the older men. His first public performance of con sequence was in an invitation tourna ment held by the Milwaukee Country Club in which he met Harold Wyatt, of Fond du Lac. The two youngsters then only 17 years old, gave the fast est exhibition of match play of the entire tournament. Alii® is a very fine putter, as may be ween by the fact that in his match against R. A. Gardner, ex-national champion, in the semi-final at Home- wood, Allis had only 27 puts for the 18 holes of the morning round. To learn how a golfer’s game may improve in a few months one has hut to consult the United States Golf As sociation’s handicap rating list for 1913. There Alii® is placed among the handicap five men. Among the othor.*i in the five list are Devereux Lord, the three-time winner of The Brook lyn Eagle trophy; B. T. Allen. Fox Hills; Chisholm Beach, Fox Hills; S. I>. Bowers, Brooklawn; T. V. Ber- mingham. Wykagyl; James R Hyde, South Shore; Philip Carter, Nassau, Metropolitan junior champion; Max R. Marston, Baltusrol, Interscholastic champion; C. H. fieelv, ex-Metropoli tan champion, and others. Allis would more likely‘be handicapped at 2, or 3. at least. The only time that Metropolitan District golfer® have the quality of Allis’ golf was at Lakewood, N. J., on Apri’ 17-19. last. Here Allis Just fell outside the medal prize 1n the qualifying round by a single stroke, tying with Walter J. Travis, of Gar den City, at 78, while H. K. Kerr, South Shore, got the beat card with a 77. Allis lasted till the semi-final, when he waa defeated by Horace C. Cook, of Trenton the youthful player from Trenton, N. J., who, in the afternoon final with Travis, held the former in ternational champion at evens till a penalty stroke at the seventeenth hole threw him off his game on the home hole, the match going to Travis by two up. On his way to the semi final Allis had beaten J. F. Shanley, the best of the Deal players. Since Allis first swung a club at the age of five, he ha® been carefully coached by his father. Louis Alii®, who firmly believes that his boy will some day be the premier amateur golfer of the world. ;) AT FORT ERIE.
