Baseball Adage Relative to Close Flag Fights Given • Severe Jolt. PERSONAL RACE DRAWS Fans Swarm to See Hugmen in Every City. BY PAUL W. WHITE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 15.—The baseball adage that only a close race packs in the customers has been given a severe test so far this season by the Yankees’ runaway in the American League. Past midseason and although the New York club has dropped four of nine games since heading into the west, the Hugmen have a lead of ten and one-half games over the second-place Washington Senators, and still crowds battle to see them play in every'city they enter. The reason, of course, is the individual home run battle being waged by Bable Ruth and Lou Gehrig, as well as the slugging frequently provided by the lesser lights of the YaTi.ee array. It is safe to say the combined talent # of Ruth and Gehrig has drawn more money to the cash boxes of the American League clubs this season than the closest of races would have done. A battle for first place interests the fans, but it is easier to dramatize individuals than teams. The standings in the National League show Pittsburgh and Chicago batt,li% for the top position, with the Cubs enjoying a one and a half game advantage. But when the two clubs met in Pittsburgh recently the entire series did not draw a crowd as large as some which have packed the Yankee stadium for ordinary Sunday games.

Shrinking Woolens The Third of a Series on Richman Manufacturing Processes After the woolens purchased for Richman’s Clothes have been rigidly tested and examined, they are thoroughly shrunk before cutting. The last word in equipment, and the utmost care of skilled woolen experts, are employed in this important process. Live steam is forced through every fiber of the cloth, instead of merely dampening the surface with cold water. The fabric is then loosely rolled and allowed to stand until it has shrunk to the last possible degree. There is no better process mown for making woolens absolutely proof against shrinking. A Richman Suit can be soaked in water without shrinking the smallest fraction of an inch; and when dried and pressed it will look as good as new.
