make the name more famous than the
song had ever done, for that Nellie BLY,

She became the original muckraker,
and she did her work great deal more
successfully than any of the men or
women who have tried to initiate her.
After couple of years work on the
Pittsburgh newspaper the young girl
whose signed work had already attract

York She thought she could make
more money there, and, aside from the
natural fearlessness of youth. she had
the daring spirit of all pioneers. The
big city didn't brighten her a bit. She
sought out one of the biggest news

didn't ask the editor to help her be-

President of Western League
to Assist at Opening Game

Enthusiasm, hard work and a pic
turesque vocabulary are three Of the
outstanding characteristic Of Norris
l.. O'Neill, president Of the Western
league, who will be on hand at
Rourke park for the opening" Fri
day. The day before Tip" will have
a heart-to-heart talk with his UNI
pires.
Before he was a league president
O'Neill was an umpire and before he
was an umpire he was a ball player,
so that he has a soft spot in his big
heart for the workingmen Of the
game. Having come up from the
ranks and along the way acquired
enough of the mazuma to buy a
little railroad or two OF his own out
in his home state of California.
O'Neill is of all men highly adapted
to do justice to the player. because
he was a player; TO the umpire, be-
cause he was an umpire: to the mag
nate, because he is a magnate.
And to show that as the pilot of
the best Glass A league he has been
a success, the team owners honored
him with another election for five
years a year before his old term ex-
