Artificial eyes are assets instead
of liabilities to Pitcher Lee Mead
ows of the Phillies and George Top
orcer, new second baseman OF the
st. Louis Cardinals.
The fact that they are the only
two major league ball players who
wear glasses gains them wide pub
licity.
Both are near-sighted.
Neither can read a newspaper
further away than 6 inches IN
front of his nose.
Yet on the diamond they can
follow the ball as we'll as players
with the best eyes in the business.
Their glasses magnify. They
can see the ball better than many
of their fellow players.
Meadows Career.
Meadows has been in the majors
since 1915. He broke in with the
| Cardinals, also.
Without glasses Meadows cant
see the signals his catcher makes

club last season he won 16 game:
and lost but IA. Two other year:
of his big league career he ha

Toporcer played semi-pro ball
last Year in Brooklyn, New York
and Orange, N. J.
Branch Hickey figured Toporcer
a frost as ball player because he
wore glasses. Then he saw him
! in action. Immediately he turned
over four players and bundle Of
cash to Syracuse to keep him.
Toporcer fields like a Rogers
Hornsby and hits the same way.
He drew the second base assign
ment and has been there daily
since because nobody can dislodge
him.
| Because he has made good in
spite of his artificial eye handicap
he is the most talked of rookie
that's bloomed this season.

little in the face.

Paddock ran out the 100 yards
for the 100 meter record. In thu
go he went on through laps at 20(
meters, 800 yards and 800 meters
All the watches agreed with TIL
