World's Series by Marly

NEW YORK, August 23.?The first
world's series bets reported here to
day made the Bed Sox favorites to
beat the Cubs. The odds were ?; to !
&. The wagers, so far. have b*-en coin- j
paratively small. It is floured by the
gambling sharks that the series will
be a close one, and probably no six
nr seven games to a decision. The Ue?l
Sox are apparently the favorites be-i
cause of the old stars of the name that!
will be in the line-up. although the ?
Cubs are conceded to have the edge
on the American League* entry in tho
pitching.

voHt-Marahnl t'rowfler to Exempt
'renin illrmberit.
WASHINGTON. August 23.?Secretary
of War Baker this afternoon officially
sanctioned ?h? playing off of t!ie
world's series this year. He announced
that he would write to General Crow
der to that effect, suggesting tnat draft
exemption be extended for tne members
of the two competing teams
Secretary Baker's action was taken
as a result of a letter from the Na
tional Baseball Comm'ssion asking him
for his formal recommendation that
the scries be played, so they could go
before the local draft boards concerned
and ask for individual extensions of
exemption of men likely to be with
drawn by the draft.
In compliance with their request,
however. Mr. Bake.* went further, and
decided to recommend the extensions
himself as well as lend his formal ap
proval to the demand for the Mr games.
"The bascbalt com mission," said sec
retary Baker this afternoon, "asks tne
to give oflicial sanction to the world's
series. My disposition is to do it. I
will write to Cleneral Crowder and tell
him that 1 would he glad to have the
local draft hoards informed that I am
in sympathy with an extension to the
15th of September for such persons as
will be involved in the world's series."

For real, downright, harrassing flip- j

proach so-called skin diseases, such as
Kezema, Totter, noils, eruptions, scaly |
t irritations and similar skin troubles,

; salves, lotions, washes and other treat
ment applied externally to the irri
j tated parts.
No one ever heard of a person being
afflicted with any form of skin dis

dition. Therefore, it, is but logical to
conclude that the proper method of
[treatment f<>r pimples, blotches, pores.

i purify the blond and remove the tlnv
germs of pollution that break through
and manifest their presence on the
