" Please pass the biscuits." And as those hot,
crisp morsels melt in your mouth, they cer

Just what Chesterfields do for your smoking
? they satisfy!
But, Chesterfields are MILD, too!
For the first time in cigarette history, you
are offered a cigarette that satisfies , and yet
is mild. Chesterfield!
Smokers realize that this is new enjoyment
for a cigarette to give. And no other cigarette
can give it to them ? because no cigarette
maker can copy the Chesterfield blend!

The l{i-d Sox are game. .lack Barry j

Harry was a sort of hoard of strategy I
for ?'arrigan. The Red Sox's boss and
?lack used to room together when the)
i-luli was on the road and talk over the

Jack Harry is one of the serious think-'

by tin- f.-ms. I don't kliow whether Har-j
ry is on this west" rn trip with the team I
or not. but I think t'arrlgan made a big'
mistake if he did not carry him along.
A Big: Help
It is a relief for a manager in a hard
fight to have some smart player to.

Relieve mf? it worried ail opposing |
pitcher some when he meets up with j
those 'hree hatters ? Cobb, Veaeh and I
Crawford. The Tigers have the edge j
to-fore that pitcher starts to work. What
Jennings has lacked all season has been I
rcllnMv twirling. There are some who!
say Htighie docs not use good judgment |
in working his t wirier?, hut I don't
agree with these carping second gues- |
ser.s. Jt is easy to second . guess.
The real story is that Detroit was i
not getting iho steady pitching up to j
a few weeks ago. hut, whenever the I
t wirier* have displayed anything at all. j
i lie team has been a consistent winner.
Von can't work pitchers right when you
haven't any pitchers fit to unblanket.
For a time, tho Detroit club was win
ning ball games on that knockout punch (
a lone it carries.
But recently they have b*en receiv
ing the twirling, and the combination
is one I don't figure will be beaten.
The Red Sox have the worst of the
schedule as the American league pen
nant race should be settled on the
present western trip, and the Carrigan
crew will be making its fight- away
I'p'in home. However, the lied Sox won
:iln>ul two thirds of their games on i
their last western invasion if 1 re- I
member rightly. Today they are fight- j
ing tougher clubs and all their oppon- 1
??nis are scrapping for the flag or at)
bast a position in the baseball sun.
Something Wrong.
The Chicago club should have won ' V:o
American l.cagiie title this year. ut
something went wrong. There hasn't
Ix-ep the base ball played by the White
S>)\ there is in the team in my opinion,
and 1 am not criticising llowland. I
don't believe they will come through. It
will surprise men if they do.
1 don't underManJ the report (Jarrit,an
I will quit as manner of the Red Sox|
I after ihis s?.oson. It is a bad time- to
J spread the report. 1 doubt itH truth.
Hut anyway ItaVor Detroit with Cobb.
Veach. ar.d Crewford. I made 'the trip
around the world with Wahoo Sam. He
is a rntton sailor but some ball player.
And 1 admit my one regret If 1 can't
get in the world's series with the wreck
ing i-row I have on my hands now. Will
i make mem go some.
