Yanks’ Probable Pennant Due to Manager Huggins Little Leader Should Have Credit for Jockeying Aggre gation of Stars Into First Place. , By DAVID J. WALS1I. International News Service Sport* Editor. New York, Sept. 19.—Although George H. Ruth, the well-known left fielder, has taken a prominent part, as always, the Impending victory of the New York Yankees in the 1923 pennant race Is really a personal triumph for Miller Huggins and those who have been demanding hie official head these several years will do well to maka graceful admission of the fact. Huggins, the misanthropist, warped, mahogany-faced and cheer less, Is the man behind the Yankee success. He would have been liekl strictly accountable had the club finished be low first place. By the same token, one ran do no less than give him full and complete credit for the fact that the Yanks are on the verge of win ning the pennant, 16 1-2 games in front of the nearest contender. If any. As a matter of fact, Huggins Is Just about to do something that only one other American league manager succeeded in doing. In a day or so, at the most, he will have jockeyed the Yankees Into their third successive pennant. Hughey Jennings won three in a row with the Tigers from 1907 to 1909, but the business in question was a bit beyond Connie Mack, after the Phillies had won in 1910 and 1911, and again in 1913 and 1914, and Bill Carrigan, whose Red Sox won In 1915 and 1916. It is slightly more than a debatable point whether tlw present Yankees form as strong a combination as did the old Athletics or Red Sox. They are hardly as gifted as were the old Cubs under Chance, yet the 6 latter stumbled after winning the National le%-ue pennant in 1906 and 1907, and the Giants of 1912 and 1913 were equally incapable of winning In 1914, although at ono time 16 games beyond the field. In fact, McGraw is still shooting at ' the three in a row business and won’t know his fate for a week or more. Jennlnge and Huggins therefore are the only three-time winners known to modern baseball. It cannot be denied, of course, that Huggins’ team had been hand picked by an affluent and lavish owner. But the worthy Miller’s task waa made at once hard and easy by this fact, the owner in question buying star players and at the earns time most of the loose temperament In captiv ity. It must be worth 10 years of an ordinary man's life to sit on a Yan kee bench for a season. Ruth and Meusel are aa tempera mental aa prlma donnas. So are Hoyt and Mays. Many of the ethers have the affliction in a slightly less malignant form and the composite result is more or Ices harrowing to any man who essays to direct these young men's moods. But Huggins lias hung on in the _ face of criticism and sometimes open derision, meeting sympathy and insubordination with the same crackled little grimace. His vin dication Is found in the fact that the Yankees today are compact and united and a more consistent club than any other in baseball.

F:lRPO was champion for five sec onds when he cuffed Dempsey out of the ring. Jack landed in a newspaperman’s lap and came back much refreshed. If the fight had been held on a wharf Firpo w-ould be champ today. Jack crawled back much to Firpo's disgust and surprise. He didn't expect that to happen, be cause down in Argentine they fight on cliffs. Cliff battling is really what de feated Firpo. When the loser dives through the hemp he doesn't return without a coroner’s verdict. Looking back to Friday night, one big mistake pops forth. Com ing down the aisle, Firpo was sur rounded by 15 policemen. Those same 15 met him and took him back up the aisle. They should never have left him. If Firpo had been the boy to plunge for d.stance through the fence posts there is no doubt that spectators would be still walking on his face. Dempsey was pushed back. Firpo would have been pushed through the nearest exit. Adam's apples were wearing derby hats when Jack did the devll-on the trapdoor trick. Patriotism started whistling for the crossing when he appeared again. Some folks thought he had been diving for oysters and they were certainly glad to see him some more. Firpo's fare looked like a slate full of wrong answers when Demp sey climbed into the ring for the second time that night. The news paper man who had been holding Jack in his lap hated to give him up. But Jack tore loose and went back to his right table. Firpo says he fought a year too ADVERTISEMENT. AOVniUIMIM. have BOILS ! IP you have never experienced that uncomfortable, soul rend ing, heart tearing, nauseating feeling that bolls carry with them you are truly fortunate. The boll lodged securely—hiding away, nshamed, so to speak—behind your collar—Just where you can’t reach It and you want to so bad. Every time you turn your head—oh! that scraping pain—that agony. Bolls the same as all skin disor ders—pimples, blackheads, eczema —are caused by a run-down state of health. The human motor is not hitting on all cylinders—the spark of vitality Is low—rich red blood Is not surging through your veins. The human carburetor Is clogged up. When the lead from the gas tank of the automobile Is filled with particles of dirt the engine r(j»i does not respond '■*1$: properly. So, too, when the system Is clogged with Impurl "K tleg- 8kln disorders— pimples, eczema, or boils appear. S. R. S. builds new blood cells As blood cells increase In number impurities vanish. When impuri ties vanish bolls and other annoy ing skin disorders disappear. S. R. S. is the conqueror of skin eruptions. It is the greatest blood ceil builder, blood cleanser and body builder known. It is fool hardy to suffer from bolls and skin disorders when by putting your system In order these uncomfort able hindrances to well-being will be done away with. Mr. V. D. Rchaff, 557 15th Street, Washington, D. C., writes: "I tried for years to get relief from a bad case of boils. Everything failed until 1 took S. S. S. I ant now abso lutely cured, and it was 8. S. S. that did it." S. S. R. Is sold at all leading drug stores. Try a bottle and get rid of your bolls and other skin eruptions. The large size is the more economical. soon. Fulton has been doing that |(or 15 years. Firpo is a bigger drawing rard than ever. There were so many knockdowns in the two rounds that the boys looked like German gym nasts in a field meet. There is no doubt that the Pam pas tourist is rougher than cordu roy trousers. Rut he doesn't last quite as long. Ife is stronger than a Bermuda onion farm. He can wallop and did wallop. But a dying frog’s last kirk is always the strongest. And never gets him any where. If they fight again in another year they will draw so much money that the income tax will swallow the gate receipts. When they meet the government can save Itself trouble by printing the tickets. Firpo says he will devote his life to revenge. That boy is silly. That’s like having a bank book full of undertaker's addresses. He ran make a million by sluf fine bozos in England, Franco and America. He ought to stay away from Dempsey. He took enough heating to clean all the rugs in the world. Firpo ought to play safe now. His reputation is all chiselled out. If lie has any Pampas brains at all, Firpo will duck every time he sees Dempsey’s picture in the paper. It was the biggest thrill ever steamed up since the days the lion escaped from the circus In Smidge City, la. Copyright. I92S. MARQUETTE LOSES STAR PLAYERS Milwaukee.
