all the new ones are made to measure
up to certain standards. They are soft

vided with its veil.
In the management of lines about
the face there is SO much variety that
it is worth while to try on a number

any number of ways, but all are de-

Cleveland, Ohio, June 24.-Steve
O'Neill is making good behind the bat
for the Naplanders, and critics who
had harsh things to say about him last
year speak with enthusiasm of his
work this season.
Here's what Louis A. Dougher, a
Washington newspaper critic, has to
say about O'Neill:
Last year | was one of several
critics to score O'Neill on his con-
slant cry for waste balls. This habit
proved too much of strain upon his
pitchers. Therefore, l am more than
pleased to laud the young Naplander
for his work this season.
For backing up throws at first base
ONeill is truly a wonder. He gets
over behind the bag near the stand
with the speed of a lightning bug.
steve, you're the goods. Last year
you were handicapping your pitchers
and beating your team out of ball
games. This year you're delivering in
fine style. Perhaps it may be Birming,
hams teaching, but no matter who is
responsible for your new style, you're
certainly going through with it in fine
style. You're some class behind the
bat these days"
