removed? 90 What makes lashes

What colors should I wear with black
hair and blue eyes? BLUE EYES.
Answer-u) There is no cure for
operation, but you can make them less
conspicuous by gaining your normal
weight and by wearing the right kind
of clothes and stockings. The aver
age weight for your age and height
is between 1913 and 1873 pounds.
Dresses with an uneven hemline, such
as piece of drapery at the side, help
camouflage crooked legs. The new
vogue for longer skirts will benefit
you. Wear stockings Of gunmetal or
dark brown, with black or brown Shoes.
When standing or sitting do not put
your feet side by side or with heels
together, but place one in front of the

SNAPPY WORKOUT

A snappy workout today and to-
morrow made up the schedule of the
Beaumont Exporters before they
meet the Houston Buffaloes IN
weekend exhibition games, one of
which will be played here and the
Sunday game in Houston. The I'M
conditional release Of Tom ESteu,

A drive to bring out $4,000 fans on

sons opening the Bluffs are badly

pair of dependable hurlers. With
out those additions they can hard

Clought, wronghander from Roch-
ester, looked yesterday as if he
might be one of the starting pitch
ers. The hard hitting Chicago Cubs

was wild but he limited the Bruins

eight innings he worked. BY play

Nv NORMAN =. BROWN

AVON PARK, Fla, April 1.-THE
baseball career OF Carey Selph, the
young man who has been cavortlng
around second base for the st. Louis
Cardinals this spring, might have
been ruined early but for the sug-
gestion of a wise old scout.
The rookie infielder now has a
good chance to win a regular berth
in the ST. Louis machine-in the
near future-and win some meas
ure of fame, at least, as a major
league ball player.
Selph started his baseball activi-
ties while a student at Ouachita
college, in Arkansas. You pro-
nounce it as though it we're Wash
ee-taw. It's an Indian name mean
ing base hits, or something like
that.
Selph was playing shortstop, and
under the guidance Of Morley Jen-
nings, then coach at Ouachita, and
now occupying a similar position at
Baylor university, had made a
name for himself when Jack Ryan.
st. Louis Cardinal ivory hunter,
looked him over.
Ryan liked the youngsters work
around short. The lad WAS COW
ering a lot Of ground. fielding neat
~, and conducting himself well in
general. But Ryan noticed that he
favored his arm in throwing.
Questioning Selph, Ryan found
out the youngster had been having
trouble with his throwing wing.
Playing at reasonable intervals.
Selph could whip the ball about
without trouble. But two or three
contests over a weeks time would
leave him with a sore arm.
Ryan said nothing to Selp1. but
when the former recommended the
college boy to the st. Louis Cardi-
nails it was with the suggestion thai
he be played at second.
Selph was graduated In the
spring Of 1925, and reported imme-
diately to the Cardinals at San An

Have you ever noticed the reluc-
lance of &C oacher to get rid of an
extra ball that in some way or other
has found a way into his possession?
Frequently during the course of a
big league game a batter will send
a foul ball that is snatched by the
coach behind third or first. In
stead of throwing it to the umpire
he fondleS 1t, carefully examinines
the seams and playfully chucks it
from n hand to the other.
1t is the same way in the Asso-
citation. the international league,
and other circuits, and it is a dan
gerous habit, as I will explain.
Last year I was interested in the
Danville Three-I club and frequent
ly travelled around with the players
for a week at a time. We were
playing a game at Decatur. The
score was tied for seven Innings.
In the eighth the first batter
damned a long foul to left. AS the
outfielder returned the ball the
coach at third grabbed it and held
1t. On the very next pitch the bat
ter drove a line shot to right. It
was & sure doubel but the runner
tried to stretch it into a triple. The
relay from right field came in low,
bounded past the third baseman
and hit the coach. knocking the
extra ball out Of his hand.
Seeing the wild throw the runner
kept on for the plate. The third
baseman grabbed one ball and fired
it home. The shortStop, backing up
the play. seized the other bail and
also shot it home. The catcher.
confused, let both throws pass and
the runner scored.
1t vas a humorous situation and
all due to the fondness of that
coach for toying with an extra ball.

Saturday. Donna won the Hidalgo
meet.
While this meeting between the
champs of the two counties will
have no bearing or the district meet
to be held in Brownsville April 19
and 20, the results will give coaches
Of both schools an insight into the
~pontential strength of their clubs.
Boy Newman looked good in the
races last week, and copied in his
events for the locals. He is also a
broad jumper of ability.
Clarence Bennett, Robert Lon
goria, Dan Barnhart and others of
the local club, have been working
each afternoon preparing for the
district meet, and the coach is
pleased with their progress.
FeSSenden, who is better known
in these parts as a football coach
is also a track mentor of note. His
teams of San Antonio high school
were winners for two years, and
FesSenden believes he has in the
making another formidable team.

had a crack track team.

then in 1927 to the Houston club.
