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 Dlood purifier, is most active
in its influence.
There is one ingredient in 8 S 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. S. S. in any drug
store, but insist upon having it. The
great Swift Laboratory in Atlanta,
Gn., prepares this famous blood
purifier, and you should take no
chance by permitting anyone to rec
ommend a substitute. And if your
blood condition is such that you
would like to consult a specialist
freely, address the Medical Dept.,
The Swift Specific Company, 181
Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.

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 pDchers.
In the first game Joe Conzennan
wasn’t quite so good as Floyd Kroh,
and In the aftermath, Gilbert Price
plus Elliott Dent, had a thin eldge on
HoweH and Ooveleskie.
The fact that the tall Pole was sum

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-Whlte Sox world tour,
is in New Orleans to-day arranging a
lease on the Pelicans' ball park for
an exhibition game 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 CALLAWAY, homp again
from Chattanooga, says re
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 it
would be some considerable drawing

IT is rumored that Jud Daley, left
1 fielder for the Vols, may wetr
an Atlanta uniform soon. The
understanding hereabout is indefinite,
and Bill Smith probably will make
the decision while in Nashville m
the series beginning to-day.
Daley is a good hall 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.

available for his stipend alone, he

H ERE'S one we lamp from up Syra
cuse-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
feet off the bag. ^ , , .
True to his 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 see it that way.
“Get out of the lot,” was the next
command.
Good stayed 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.

riNCE more is the eternal and
Emersonian law of compensa
tion glutted with justification.
For weeks the sport columns have
echoed with the piteous roars of F.
Chance, sometime Peerless Lender. It
seems Mr Chanc e 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 one
side, while Mr. Borton’s batting re
sembled the* performance of the old
est inhabitant of the Soldiers’ Home
kLTng flies with a newspaper.
So.
But now comes Mr. Callahan, who
lately paid $18,500 In Comlskey coin
a ml 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 I got him!”
.Mr. Chance should lie awake nights
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 what
the third baseman of the White Sox
has to say about the former Yankee
player:
“Chase will save any inflelder thirty
»
work together through the year. Look
what Chase did for me in the on*i
game at St. Louis. I would have had
two black marks to my discredit on
that day. The papers would ha vs
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 qyes, and make a throw, and he
will get it some way or other.”
PLAIN NUTTY.
He'd seen won the sport page
The teny that Ty Cobb collars,
And all the other dope that deals
With Inttiny odds and dollars;
With gate receipts, quaecntagcs,
Expenses, kicks and hollers.
And then he put a question;
Ilis friends were filled with
gloom.
With sorrow did they east him
Into a padded rot an.
He'd asked: “Is there a sport guy
Not out for the mazumc?"

NO CHANCE FOR LAJ0IE TO
LEAVE NAPS, SAYS BARNARD
CLEVELAND, OHIO, Aug. 7.—An ab
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

Manager Birmingham, of the Clet'Hand

hud no trade under way lor Lajoie.
PLAYING GOLF
N EW YORK, Aug. 7.—Ned Allis,
who waft runner-up in the West
ern Golf Association at Chicago
and is 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 Lae. The two youngsters
then only 17 years old, gave the fast
est exhibition of match play of the
entire tournament.
Allis Is a very fine putter, as may
be Meen 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 but
to consult the United States Golf As
sociation’s handicap rating list for
1913. There Allis is placed among the
handicap five men. Among the other*
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. Seely, ex-Metropoli
tan champion, Rnd others. Allis would
more likely be handicapped at 2, or 3.
at least.
The only time that Metropolitan
District golfers have *een the quality
of Allis’ golf was at Lakewood, N. j’,
on April 17-19, last. Here Allis just
fell outside the medal prize In the
qualifying round by a single stroke,
tying with Walter .1. Travis, of Gar
den City, at 78. while H. K. Kerr,
South Shore, got the best card with
a 77.
Allis lasted till the semi-final, when
he was 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 horn* 1
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
ago of five, he ha* been carefully
coached by his father. Louis Allis, who
firmly believes that his boy will some
day be the premier amateur golfer
of the world.

PRESTIGE BY POLICY

Ritchie has lost much of his follow/

who are of the belief now that Bi[Y/
Nolan spoke the truth when he de
clared that Ritchie would not tackle
tough game unless forced into It.
The champion’s unwillingness to
take on Tommy Murphy and his ac
ceptance of Freddie Welsh instead,
ami in a strange land, has caused this
belief to win favor.
