BEAKS!

Let us stop a minute and consider

What's the use. you ask. what have

Very well, maybe they haven't but

the powerful rooter Of one Hans Lo-
bert. There Is perhaps no more Won
derful nose in the old United States.
A side view of Loberts beak Is
worth the full price of admission. II
looms up like a turret on a Gothic
fort, and makes the rest Of his land
scape fade into inconsequence.
And Honus Wagner. It's not up to
us to declare that Wagner's nose kept
him i'm baseball for score of years,
but after sizing up Wagner's pugna-
cious probosis. you can't deny that it
may have had something to do with
il.
