ALL-STARS WIN
OVERHEARD
Local Team Defeats Indus

5-4 Score
By EDGAR II. CASE

The Henderson county ALL
Stars, a team picked from the va
Yious clubs of the county league,
played their first game of the sea-
son at the Hnedersonville high
school field Tuesday afternoon
and defeated the Brevard Tan
merry team, winner of the first
half in the Industrial league, by
B TO 4 score.
While not sensational, the con-
test was a nice exhibition of fast,
sparkling, pleasing baseball with
neither team showing any marked
superiority over the other and
both fighting desperately for VIC
tory until the last ball was
thrown.
The Henderson county nine,
team of cool, woodworking
youths who have been around long
enough to know most of the ifs
and ands of baseball, won by hit
ting hard and timely behind the
nice pitching of Jackson, speed
ball artist of the Chipman-La-
Crosse team. Jackson allowed on
Iy eight hits and struck out nine
batsmen. Besides, he starred at
bat, driving out a triple and a
two-bagger.
But the All-Stars started the
scoring in the very first frame.
Bailey, a southpaw finger, was
on the mound for Brevard. Caps,
a Balfour player, led off with a
single. T. LYDIA flied out to left

PERFECT FACE FEATURES

HOLLYWOOD, May 18.-It would
require the feminine beauty of nine
of Hollywood's most attractive pic
ture actresses to make one perfect
face. Five makeup experts declared
yesterday.
Such a thing as a perfect face
has never been found" they agreed.
Here are the beauty characteristics
which, in their unanimous opinion,
would attain the ideal of feminine
pulchritude:
The mouth Of Dolores Del Rio, the
teeth Of Anita Louise, the chin of
Binnie Barnes. the cheeks of Bette
Davis, the forehead Of Carole Lombard,
the nose of Tala Birell, the neck of
Helen Gahagan, the eyes of Francis
