OFF COMES O'HARA'S
15-YEAR- OLD BEARD
AS PHILLTES WIN
Waited Decade al d a Half in
Compliance With Vow When
New Champs Were
Near Cellar
PATIENT PAT REWARDED

Whiskers Is years long were dislodged
today from the face of Patrick o'Hara-
The event is tribute to the Phillies, for
had they not won the pennant the bristly
growth would still be reclining peacefully
on the face of Pat.
He is a fan of the loyal sort, and any
one who lives near his home at 1873
Krams avenue, Manayunk will tell you
so. with his old friend the late Pat
Cowley, of Ashland Heights. o'Hara fol-
lowed the fortunes of the fighting Phils
for many years. But when the American
League was born about Is years ago Cow
ley's sentiment switched to the Athletics.
O'Hara remained Philly rooter.
They argued for hours and reviewed
every detail OF each days fight on the
diamond. Finally the two fans agreed
that neither would shave until his pet
ball team had won pennant. Both
rooters compared favorably with Kris
Kingle for several years. When the Ath-
letics won their first pennant Cowley en-
ioyed a much-needed shave and O'Hara
accompanied him to the shop and watched
with envy as his bearded face was trans
formed into a smooth seraphic condition.
a short time after that poor Cowley died.
Moran was to lead the local team hope
dawned in the breast of O'Hara. He
watched the race with eagle eye and
1t was with pride that he strutted the
main street in Manayunk with a fiirt-
atious eye on the barber shops.
There was cheer today. when he
stalked proudly into the shop of John
Trimmer, of Baker and Conarroe streets,
and said with the pent-up ambition of a
decade and n half 81 want a shave"
Although Trimmer is barber, he
is not a trimmer" like many of them.
He shaved Pat for the regular price, for
he. too, was loyal fan and was glad
that the time had come. An abundance of
lather and sharp razor soon made Pat
as he used to be. Fortunately he Is sin
gle and there was no romance during
the years of sacrifice to interfere with
the execution of his wager.
Pat left the Nixon Paper Mills where
he is employed long enough to pose for
a picture You can see the look of SNUG
satisfaction which pervades his open
countenance and observe what 1t means
to be an optimist.
Pat will be on the job in every game
of the world series-Asked who he ex-
pected to win, he said;
There's nothin' to it. Boston has
beans"
