That's steve o'Neill, latest ad
dition to the ranks Of Major
League managers.
Steve is no easy man to inter
view. He isn't sure whether his
job is permanent or whether he'll
be out in October. But, on one
1hatter he isn't afraid to speak his
mind. Says he, Of the Cleveland
Indians, his new charges:
They'll hustle. You can bet
on that. They'll hustle from
start to finish of every ball
game. If hustle and fight get a
ball team anywhere, the Indians
will Co."
Steve O'Neill, 43 years old, and
a baseball man since he forSook
the coal mines at Minooka, Pa.
will make the most of his ma
terial. You're sure of that as soon
as you see the fighters face, and
that twinkling eye. He is the type
who inspires instant confidence
and liking-and at the same time
you feel sure he will tolerate no
monekyshines.
Steve says of his predecessor
Walter Johnson:
"NO man ever had Q tougher
job than Walter johnson. Bill

position, and possibly we'll be
able to finish third or second.
For that matter we can still win
the pernant though I'm not 50
foolish as to EXPECT it"
O'Neill proved his ability tc
handle young ball players during
his tenure as manager at Toronto
and Toledo. At the latter city, he
developed almost half the mem
bers of the present Cleveland
club-including Monte Pearson
Thornton Lee, Ralph Winegarner
Pytlak, Trosky, Knickerbocker

SARATOGA, Aug. 7.-Out from
the mystery of almost forgotten
events comes the Saranac Handi.
cap, race which in the past
made turf history. This notable
cap will have its thirty.third run
ming at the Spa track today.
Its vista of mighty deeds Of old
seems to unfold through the
oaks and elms that grace the
paddock as one reviews in his
mind the great champions of the
past that have won this event.
Who will ever forget Regret,
queen Of queens of the turf, the
only filly that has ever won the
Kentucky Derby. And Regret,
lest you forget, won the Saranac
Handicap in 1915. And that other
fine filly, Molly Brant, which
won it in 1908. The eyes Of
John Sanford, master of Hurri-
cana Farm, sparkle when the
name Of Molly Brant is men
toned. And who will ever for
get August Belmont's Field
Mouse, which won it in 1909.
How, in 1908, after r1'nni'n eu'ov

boil, which won it in 1914. The
late Samuel C. Hildreth had
many great winner. But
Stromboli always was his favorite.
Because of that tender affection
Stromboli had paddock to roam
in by day, a straw bed to lie on
at night and plenty to eat at
Rancocas Farm to the end Of his
days.
George H. Bull president of the
S. R. A., who has a keen memory
of the deeds Of such notable
champions of the past, saw to
it that the Saranac Handicap
had a prominent place in the
present list of the events at the
Spa track. And as a result
this years Saranac will be well
worth winning. Omaha tops the
list with 1870 pounds, conceding
many pounds to all the other
eligibles. But Omaha is not
likely to start, as he is being re-
served for stake events of greater
distances.

York Yankees.
O'Neill went to Cleveland in
1912, and from 1918 to 1921 he
was Ray Schalk'S only rival for
catching tops" in the American
League. He was known as the
greatest man to block a plate that
ever came into the league.
In 1924 he went to Boston, and
in 1925 to the Yankees. Next year
he was at Toronto. Then, in 1927
and 1928, he was with the ST..
Louis Browns. He managed To-
ronto in 1929 and 1881, and then
he spent three seasons managing
Toledo.
Steve is married, lives in Cleve-
land, and is the proud papa Of
four daughters. He dislikes lemon
pie, and hates cabbage. He has
an Irish terrier he's nuts about,
never wears a hat, and would eat
steak three times a day if Mrs.
O'Neill would let him. He's dub

Walter Morris, "Huck" Hilleary,
"Cliff" Keyser, Russell Kidwell,
"Junie" Greene, Joe StanKus and

Cream Of Crop
Barry is considered the cream
Of local outfielders. He saw ser
vice with several minor league
combinations. Harding is a hard
hitting first baSeman. FreSchi can
play with the best Of 'em, espe'
cially when it comes to pulling
down flys. Zahn has played a lot
of baseball and is one Of the fast
est thinkers hereabouts. "Otts" is
q dangerous hitter at all times
He plays second and shortstop.
Bobby Stevens is the best short
stop around town. Walter Morris
has few rivals when it comes tc
grabbing hot smashes around the
hot corner. Hilleary is sweet
outfielder. KeySer and Russell
form a great catching department.
Both are excellent receivers and
are no slouches at the plate.
Greene, Stankus and Stevens
Stoney believes, form the finest
pitching staff in the South. Stan
kus and Stevens can be used in
the outfield, If necessary. Both
have seen considerable service In
the outer gardens. And they can
be used as pinch hitters, as both
boast respectable batting averages

At shortstop they have Jonah

Charles H. Meade as pastor, and here
it remained until 1893 when it moved
to c and Twelfth streets, when Albert
M. Hilhken was pastor. 1t Is an at
tractive little brick church, but looks
to be what it is-a mission.
South of the Mall and west Of South
Capitol street st. Dominic's was the
first Catholic Church established. be-
ing consecrated in 1856. 1t first stood
on the northwest corner of Sixth
and F streets, Just to the south Of
the present building.
The history Of this church is pretty
well covered by Rev. Victor T.
ODaniel. o. p, of the Dominican
House of Studies, Catholic University
of America, who states that the
Dominican parish on the island had
its birth in the closing days Of 1852,
or early in 1858, when Rev. George
A. j. Wilson was sent here to begin
the work of organizing q Dominican
parish in the National Capital.
The first baptism on the records
Of the parish" he says, bears the
date of April Is. 1883, and is that
of Elizabeth Frances. daughter of
Henry W. and Rachel Freeman
wsthen. The godmother was Ann
Tull. The first marriage was that OF
William Walsh and Margaret Donahoe,
July 30. 1853. Both we're from County
Cork, Ireland. The first death was
that of William Donovan, who died
May 2, 1883. and was buried two
days later In st. Pstrick's graveyard.
Father Wilson" continues Rev.
O'Daniel, was received by the island
ers with open arms. Ground was
soon purchased from Georgetown Col
lege for the erection of a church,
school and convent. The land thus
secured, an excellent site for the pur-
pose, included the eastern half OF
block 466, and extended along the
west Of Sixth street from e to F.
But the erection OF buildings IN
keeping with the promises held out by
the locality was a matter Of time,
labor and patience. Money was
scarce and small the number OF the
faithful In the undeveloped territory
assigned to the new parish. Fortu-
nately, George Mattingly, oevout
Catholic and q wen-to-do man, IN
addition to q generous contribution,
not only opened the parlors OF his
mansion as q place of worship for
the people, but gave the fathers q
home with the family. Although con-
siderably changed, the Matttngly
house, which still stands on the north
side OF p street, between Fourth and
sixth streets, deserves to be called
the first Catholic Church In South
west washington"
Speaking of the first st. Domtnie's
Church. Judge Robert E. Mattingly,
grandson Of the George Mattingly
referred to. tells US: "On r street be-
tween Four and -a-Hslf (now Fourth)
and Sixth streets, my grandfather,
who came to Washington from st.
Marys County, Md, in 1908, had
erected one of the earliest houses,
and one could look therefrom, view
unobstructed. to the Potomac River.
That house was erected before st.
Dominic's Church was established,
and mass was said In the old house

Veterinarian Aids Humans.
THE extent to which veterinaria

THE extent to which veterinarian
science has contributed to human
health and welfare is not generally
appreciated. yet the advances In anil,
mai medicine have been such that
many diseases feared by man no
longer prevail.
The meat inspection alone Is an
extensive safeguard. Annually about
75,0O0, 900 meat animals are passed
upon by experts, this figure being
approximately two-thirds of all the
animals passing through the slaughter
houses.
The long campaign against bovine
tuberculosis has almost eliminated
that disease In many sections. Under
the existing control laws all affected
animals are slaughtered and the
dairyman compensated IN part for his
loss. Many States and hundreds, Of
cities bar out milk which does nor
come from herds inspected annually
for bovine tuberculosis.
