SCALP WAS BADLY AFFECTED "1 am more than gratified by tho successful results I ohtulned by tho u?e of tho Cullcura Kemedlett. For several years my scalp was very bad ly affected wltn dandruff and scales. My sculp itched lerriuiy at limes and my hair fell out. My coat collar would be actually white with tho dandruff that had fallen from my head. My profession being that of a barber, I was particular about having my hair In good condition, and was ulso In a position to try many lotions, etc., for tho scalp. These had little or no ef fect. I bad heard so much about tho Cutlcura Keniedie.s that I resolved to try then). I t-hampoocil my head with Cutlcura Soap twice a week and after divlni my bead thoroughly, I anointed parts of my scalp with Cutl cura Ointment. I was pleased from the outset, and coiiIIiiii'mI to keep up this treatment. To think that only three cakes of Cutlcura Soap and on and one-half boxes of Cutlcura Oint ment rid my head of thht annoying troul'lo made me fel quite contented. I have now got a thick growth of hair and 1 Htn never troubled with any dandruff or Itching of the scalp. There Is no question but that the Cutlcura Remedies cured me. I frequently recommend them to my customers, and they think a great, deal of them." (Signed) John F. W'llllnnis, 307 Nor folk Street, Dorchester, Boston, Mass., July :s, 1910.

On both days the hoodlums were :ausing disturbances, according to the 5omplaints received by tho manage ment.

Their sscorts, who tried to ward off tho at neks whllo making slow progress toward reserved or empty seats, wero beaten with tbeso Improvised blud geons until their hats were smashed ind In some cases noses wero bleed ing. The spectacle afforded by a hundred ir more men and boys pelting a worn tn and her escort with newspapers, Jeanut shells, cigar butts and tobacco jul 's Is not relished by the manage nenl and steps will bo taken, It Is an unmet d, to persuade the police to take a band. The ball game crowds formerly were patrolled by regular police, but '.bene wero withdrawn a yrar ago, 'jwlng to criticism of their assignment '.o this "private work," and special of leers hired by the management were JUbstltuted. These special officers have been nimble to cope with the 'owdy element. Application will therefore be made for a return of the old system. CANNOT FORGET THE TIGERS -Kid" Elberfeld, In Reminiscent Mo ment, Says Public Too Often Overlooks Good Play. "In figuring the responsibility for a inset, all defeat or the credit for a rlctory," said "Kid" Klberfeld In a eniinlscent moment, "iho general pub ic too often overlooks the play or the ncldent, through which success or 'allure came, nnd ciedits or blames lome player who really should never lave had a chance to decide tho re mit. They don't go back far enough o note how the play should have een sw itched. "I was in one of tho two most fa nous P.nlsiies the American league las had, playing shortstop for the Highlanders In 1901, when we lost the leiinnnt to Itoslon on the closing day jf the season, through being beaten In :he first number of a double-header. That game lias gone Into baseball his tory as the ono In which a wild pitch lost a pennant. As a matter of fact, Thesbro did toss the chances for the lag when a 'spltter' got away from him, went by Jack Klelnow to the stand nnd let Lou Crlger score from second base with the winning run. "Hut we lost that pennant three ways, and two of these had nothing '.o do with this particular game. It never should have been necessary for us to take either game of this double header to become champions. The flag should have been won long be fore that. It might have b?on had It not been for Washington. That team, always down at the bottom of the column, started us down hill Just when we were being hailed as the :ornlng champions. It was the old story of a team that didn't count at all killing tbe chances of a better club. "The Bamo thing happened to lit again In the fall of iftut;, when, after we had given tho White Sox an awful beating on their own lot, Cng Into the lend with only eight "i .1 A-vy';i'?si ) JS f:'iiVi-'4 Kid Elberfeld. more games to play, Detroit, which finished seventh that year, took tl) roo straight from us and won tho flag for Fielder Jones.

"Cantillon will let Wnddell have a free rein," says Lnjoie. "He won't Is sue any orders, but will put it up to Kit be entirely.

Rubo Marqunrd seems to be doing his best to make good In his last chance and to prove ho is not a "lemon." "Hoc" Cessler, the Washington out fielder, is showing belter this spring t lia n he has at any tlmo since ho Joined that team. Johnson, who Is shortstopplng for the Highlanders, seems lo be a useful person. He fields everything nicely nnd can hit once In a while. Heine Zimmerman s not worrying much about n few poor plays at the beginning of tho season. He is get ting them out of his system. A report Hied by the administrator of the lato Dan McfJann, who commit ted suicide, shows that tho dead ball player left an estate valued nt $:!5,0H0.

Russell Ford, the crack youn pitch er of the Highlanders, says that all he needs now to got Into winning form Is a few hot days. Ills arm feels better than usual this spring, he says. "Hughle Jennings is bothering about the hitting of his team," says a critic. The only American league manager who Isn't worrying about this has a name of four letters nnd his nickname is "Connie."
