MARK OF HARRY HOOPER
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. ..........,,,,.,.,,,.,,

year he noticed that his hitting fell off
and consulted specialist The expert
told him that the glare of the sun in his
eyes was weakening them and advised
him to take off all possible strain by
wearing glasses when not on the field
Hooper did not like the idea, as he
feared the spectacles would weaken his
eyes, but he was assured that they would
strengthen not weaken his sight. He
followed the advice, and as result has
had to stand lot of kidding from the
other players. But his batting has i'm
proved.
The wearing of glasses is almost un-
heard of among ball players. Some minor
leaguers and many college players wear
them, but the big leagues have been free
from lenses. But the chances are that
many outfielders who went back to the
minors when their hitting fell off would
still be in the big show II they had shown
the originality and courage of Hooper.

Frenchman Nav Quit

Napoleon Lajoie, deposed second base
man Of the Cleveland Americans, declared
in wrath today that he would never be
pinch hitter or substitute.
81 may quit baseball at any minute,
said the big Frenchman. Il will never
be bench warmer or substitute. or as
sistant manager. | VIII quit before | Will
be anything but regular.
When I take orders it will have TO
be from somebody who knows as much
baseball as I do he declared, mot from
a college man who is always playing to
the grandstand."
Pin ingham stood pat ON his announce
ment OF yesterday that Turner probably
would be the regular second baseman
and refused to dispnrage Lajoie. Base
ball men here think the split will lead
to a trade in which Larry may come to
the Chicago White SoX.
