AID has thought of all that, and as
the first requisite for a good portrait

trait. This of course would be exl.

A Word or Two
About the Portraits

THE HERALD promises to take
L any photograph and reproduce
from it life-size portrait in black and
white in a manner similar to that of a
crayon portrait, but with finish cleo
trically produced, which is superior to
anything yet attained in crayon
work.
The most recent Improvements in
the line of enlargement are at the
command of the HERALD, and it
now proposes to place the benefits of
these Improvements within the reach
of its thousands of readers.

yillcs. The last of them to join the Nation
nj league ranks is Pond. Baltimore tries
him. He has a great record of striking out
batsmen in college games. 1t remains to
ne seen whether he can fool batsmen of
the League as well. College batsmen as n
rule, are easily deceived by curves and
will nip at nearly everything. Pond may
find his new task not such an easy one.
Should League players refuse TO go after
his curyes he'll have to shoot them over.
Then Il will be seen what caliber he pos

I am told that Priest is also willing to
play professionally. If that be true, there
is scarcely any doubt that he, too, will be
doing work for National league club be-
fore August, for, next to Carter, consid-
er him the greatest of the present lot Of
college pitchers There has not been a
week during the last two years in which
Carter could not have signed contract at
%, 600 year to pitch for o League club.
But the great Yale star did not oven listen
to the temptation.
Boswell has failed and drops out Of
League company. This trouble was faint
heart coupled with disposition to lose his
head. Opposing players quickly learned
that he was easily made angry and could
be ratified" handily. That settled Bos-
wells professional ambition, and the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania man took header.
Speaking of pitchers reminds me that
the great Mcmahon is making an effort to
get back upon the diamond. July will
settle his destiny. A few games will de-
eide whether his arm has entirely recover
ed or whether 1t is, to the great loss of the
game, completely gone. Another great
pitcher about whom much uneasiness is
felt will also be restored to the profession
or permanently retired this month-name-
ly, Meekin. 1t is hard to even entertain
the suspicion that two such stars as Me-
Mahon and Meekin are lost to the profess
sion. Their injuries, however, are entirely
different. McMahon's was rupture Of
ligaments in the arm; Meekin's was q
straining of the large nerve in the forearm.
Let us hope that both may be themselves
before the season ends.

Batsman.

On what narrow margin some men
march TO distinction! OF that class Is W.
Fl. Keeler right fielder of the Baltimore
baseball team. Had his own earnest re-
uucst been granted in the early part OF
last wear he would doubtless be numbered
among the players who will never shine as
stars of the diamond. Thanks to Manager
Hanlon's superior Judgment, Keeler stands
today the leader of the batsmen of the
country.
Kcolcr is q Staten Island boy. A curious
state of affairs is that which, by the last
set of batting averages shows another
Staten Island member of the National
league, Turner of Philadelphia. occupying
the second place in the list. Billy keeier
made his baseball reputation as member
of one of the numerous semiprofessional
clubs which flourish around New York
and which have turned out SO many good
artists of the diamond. From that position
he went to Binghamton, and as member
of the Eastern league he led the batting.
The New Yorks secured him for 1899 and
tried him at third base, but he made such
a poor showing that Ward released him
next year, and Brooklyn took him up. He
was not any more satisfactory to Brook
lyn, however, than he had been to the Gil
ants, but they kept him on the bench to

ly bad, us they say in kentucky, but the
idea of giving two men for one wGs not in
accordance with his ideas of commercial
finesse, so he told Byrne that he must also
have two players If he gave up two.
Mr.. Byrno of Brooklyn at this juncture
remembered Keelcr. Billy was not an ele-

and the club had already made up its mind
to release him. A happy idea entered
