talk about a male glee club. Mega
phones and other noise-making instru
ments will be In evidence.
The game will be an important bat
tle Inasmuch as the Labor and In
dustry department nine has recently
shown a winning stride. The newsboys
have had a squad of twenty-eight out
practicing daily and the team will be
picked to-morrow. Members of the
newsboys' association have decided to
attend in a body and will march to
Island Park.
FRESHEN UP!
GIVE YOURSELF
A REAL CHEW
The Juicy Sweetness of "Am
erican Navy" Puts More
Snap Into a Man
BIG VALUE—RICH CHEWING
A sweet, mellow chew of good tobac
co is wonderfully refreshing. But the
tobacco must be in plug form to give
you the utmost of wholesome, healthful
enjoyment.
The rich, natural juices pressed inf.
a golden-brown plug taste so delicious!)
good that it puts new snap into ycu.
American Navy plug is the distinc
tive chew. It gives you the same type
of leaf as the best "scrap," but it
gives you whole leaf instead of "cut
tings," and it's hard-pressed instead of
loose-packed. That means more sweet,
mellow flavor and more genuine tobac
co satisfaction.
The leaf for American Xavy is more
carefully selected and the plugs are
more carefully made than is the caso
with many higher-priced tobaccos.
You actually get more than your
money's worth of chewing enjoyment in
American Navy.
You'll know this for yourself
as you get started chewing America;
Navy, because its rare distinctive tlav
or gets right next to your tongue the
very first chew—and stays there.
Try a big cut of American Nav\
and you'll wonder how you ever got
along without it. In 5c and 10c cuts.

a hot drive that looked like a sure
safe hit.
