THREE GAMES TO DECIDE PENNANT WINNER OF S. A. L.

8. A. L. 8TANDING. Won Lost Per. Simplex N 9 3 .750 4 Natco 9 3 .760 Jenkins 4 8 .333 Malleable 2 10 .167 Games Saturday. Malleables va. Slbulex. Malleables vs. Simplex. The Simplex team of the S. A. L. will, play the Malleable squad Saturday afternon at Exhibition, park and the Natco bunch will meet the Jenkins-Vulcan crew. After two weeks' rest because, of wet grounds the four teams should be In form and all of them should give their opponents a fight. These games will have a great effect on the league standing if the Natco or Simplex happen to lose and the other win. The last games of the regular season of the S. A. L. will be played on August 31. but two games are to be played after that which were postponed because of rain. With three games yet to play one of the two teams now leading has the pennant clinched but the game between the Natco and Simplex teams on the thirty-first will decide which of the teams will win. On August 3 the Malleables met the Simplexers and lost 6-1. In the other half of the double bill the Natcos won from the Jenkins-Vulcan crew, 4-1. The Malleables had "Bin" Hartman hurling for the team and Long did the pitching for the Simplexers. The National Automatics had Schepman on the mound for them and Kutter and Sturm did the delivering for the Jenkins squad. Saturday the Natcos will probably put Schepman in the box for them and hold Hawekotte in reserve to go in the last few innings just to keep him in practice for the game on the thirty-first. Either Kutter or Sturm . will do the hurling for the Jenkins0'ulcan team. Hartman will do the ' handing out for the Malleables and Long will probably be on the rubber for the Simplexers. No plans for next years' season have been made yet, but according to Sam Vigran, president of the league, there will be a league as usual in 1919. Probably by the end of the season over $300 will have been given to the Red Cross by the S. A. L.

BAKER FAVORS WORLD SERIES

WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug., 23 Secretary Baker today expressed himself in regards to the playing of the world series this year. He said that he thought the world series would be played. The number of men used by both teams will not be enough to effect the war, The soldiers both American and Canadian in France are interested in the outcome, Baker said Thursday. Chicago, Aug., 3 Without the sanction of the war department the American league would not have turned the wheel toward a world series, and I am glad Secretary Baker approves of having it. Ban Johnson, President of the American league said Thursday. The details of the series will be announced as soon as definite plans are completed and a formal ruling is made by Secretary Baker. Possibly part of the gate receipts will go towards the war funds but there is nothing definate settled in this line yet, The National commission has also thought of sending detailed account of the games by cable to the American and Canadian soldiers in France.

MRS. LUCINDA BEALL BURIED.

WASHINGTON. Alice Brady, who will appear here at the Washington theater on Friday and Saturday, returns to a field in which she has achieved numerous successes, in her latest Select "Picture, "At the Mercy of Men," directed by Charles Miller. Vera Souroff, a music teacher, whose role is played by Miss Brady, the daughter of a retired major in the Russian army, is seized on the street outside a restaurant in Petrograd one evening by three carousing officers of the Imperial Guards; Count Nicho, Count Andreas and Count Michael. They drag her into a private room, where, after a helpless battle in selfdefense, because of the total darkness, she does not know which one of the three has wronged her. The police have heard the sounds of the struggle, but before they can break into the room, the officers escape through a window and Vera also gets away unobserved.

old and wants to try her wings on the ballroom floor. Of course there is the elder sister who must be married off before Molly is projected into the picture, and it is Molly's too frequent interference with the plans of Big Sister that results in most of the comedy. Molly manages to steal most of her sister's beaus just about -when they are ripe for popping and she rides these recreant swains all over the moonlit landscape at all hours, being confined on bread and awter by a stern but fond father until she at last convinces everybody that she will be less trouble married. That's where Billy Wilcox breaks in and carries away the debutante. Showing at the Murrette today and Saturday.

MURRETTE. Miss Margarita Fischer, one of the most fascinating of the screen stars whose names are known around the world, has found a splendid medium for her fun making in the new American-Mutual production, "Molly, Go Get 'Em." Miss Fischer is cast in the new play as an ambitious young society girl who hates being cooped up in juvenile quarters when she is seventeen years

The supreme sacrifice which Overton made is no greater than that made by hundreds of other U. S. lads, not so well known. But his case stand3 out as a striking example of how Ameri ca's boys and men are meeting the crisi3. Overton was one of the best long distance runners ever developed at Yale. He won the intercollegiate cross country championship twice. He broke records galore in distance events? Athletic critics picked him to shatter more records and make running history that would stand for all time. Ahead of the star, as he saw the future before America was plunged into war, was a brilliant career as an athlete and as a business man. 'Overton's college training had fitted him for both.

THE HORRIBLE HANDICAP OF POISONED BLOOD

The Innocent Suffer Even Unto the Third and Fourth Generation, But Relief Is Now in Sight. It has long been accepted as a matter of course that the sins of the fathers must be suffered by innocent posterity, yet it is hard to become reconciled to this condition. The heritage of physical infirmity Is a handicap under which thousands must face the battle of life. Scrofula is probably the most noticeable of the transmitted blood disorders, though there are other more severe diseases of the blood that pass from one generation to another. No matter what inherited blood taint you may be laboring under, S. S. S. offers hope. This remedy has been in gen

eral use for more than fifty years. It is purely vegetable, and contains not a particle of any chemical, and acts promptly on the "blood by routing all traces of the taint, and restoring it to absolute, purity. Some of the most distressing cases of transmitted blood poison have yielded to the treatment of S. S. S., and no case should be considered incurable until this great remedy has been given a thorough trial. S. S. S. acts as an attidote to every impurity in the blood. You can obtain it at any drug store. Our chief medical adviser will take pleasure in giving you without cost any advice that your individual case requires.
