It was generally agreed that no other
lad was just like Joe. No other entry

characterized the work of the brilliant

The lad was born for the game

panther and exhausted but little en-
.ergy with his style. In the first place
ne never had the awkwardness of some
or our leading lights of the present and
therefore had nothing to overcome as
he picked up experience and better

style that carried all the earmarks Of
grace itself-whatever earmarks are.

ready for the rest.
The regional coal administration
never could inflict Its mandates upon
Joe, Tor the boy had no reason to con-
serve his coal. With no lost motion in

of weather. "
But during his declining DAYS as ,
headliner Joe lost his sight and Doc
