The mind of schoolgirl does not

initiates the motions Of grasshopper.

SUN GLASSES ARE
BOON TOPLAYERS
LOOKING INTO AIR

Many a baseball game has been
lost because an outfielder muffed a
fly ball when the sun got in his eyes;
and many a baseball player has had
to bear up under sharp criticism at
the hands of angry spectators when
the sun should have been blamed.
Catching a ball against a binding
sun is not only a difficult thing to do
but It is extremely injurious to the
eyes.
II they live up to the claims of
their inventor. who is none other than
Fred Clarke, former Pirate manager.
the glasses illustrated will enable the
player to catch flies in the face of
the strongest sun. The glasses are
riyeted to the peak OF the cap and
work on a hinge. When not needed
to shield the eyes, they rest against
the cap.
When a ball is hit the fielder sim
ply touches the rim OF the glasses
and they fall down in front OF the
eyes in just the proper position so
that he has chance to see the ap-
preaching ball and even though he
is looking directly at the sun. The
glasses cannot fall off. and they can
be shifted out OF the way with the
quickest kind OF a movement when
not wanted two advantages which
make them far superior to the old
style OF specs"
AS they are not intended to fit the
bridge OF the nose. they should be so
arranged on each wearer's cap that
when needed they will fall exactly
in front OF the eyes. The peak OF
any lightweighted cap is St.Cng
enough to hold them.

Doctor Ayers Makes
Fans Notice Him In
Pitching Fine Ball

Doc Ayers has graduated. The
eminent sawbones has received
his diploma and will henceforth
become a regular. having for
saken the bullpen for good.
Within a week Ayers has
pitched thirty-seven innings OF
practically scoreless baseball. He
shut out the Yankees twice, gain
ing a 3 to o decision, and another
one by the same score. Then he
went sixteen innings against Bos-
ton and allowed but one run.
Delving ito the records. we find
the Doctor losing a 2 to 1 battle
to Detroit back on August %, and
after that he pitched three score
less innings against the White
Sox in relieving Shaw. In other
words, the Doctor has pitched
forty-seven innings and has had
only five runs nicked of him.
Pretty good pitching.
