ION Tllli Y.Xl,l'1 SI-IINGLIC. The manager himself did lots of tall hustling and played an errorless game. Many of his hits were timely. Willie Norton christened the team the Indians, and the name stuck. Willie's weakness was telling about Claremont and the Kersages and Waukegan, but we all got used to those yarns. Beiclleman did the catching and proved his sand in the hrst game when, after one eye had been closed by a stray foul tip, he caught the game of his life. Denny O'Neill's shape on first base caught the crowdg Baltimore people jollied Papa O'Neill and his chil- dren. Reddington started the season at second, but showed so much ability as a Helder that he was changed to left iield. Farrell proved a valuable man both at third base and behind the bat. An unfortu- nate accident kept him out of several important games. Parsons was a ,Q3 man, and when he could be lured into the game, did much brilliant work. His batting at Chicago helped materially to win the day there. Brady, Curtis and Foster were a rare trio of outhelders. Their like has never been seen before, nor will it ever be seen again. Brady and Foster could never see what use Curtis Was, Cur- tis and Foster didn't appreciate Brady, nor did Brady and Curtis understand the hue points of Fos- ter's play.

So many views of what handsomeness consists in are held by different members of the class, and the elements of beauty are divided, in small quantities for each, among so many of our class fthere being no one in whom they all eombinej, that there is great diver- sity in the opinion as to who is the handsomest man in the class. Durant, without any canvassing before- hand, received the greatest vote, with R. P. Freeman second. Levy, H. B. Freeman, Torrance, Bosley and Graves follow in the race. Blue-eyed Willie receives a vote or two, and Bowers' athletic fame brought him one admirer. Sherman, after a few necessary alterations, would seem handsomest to one, while another thinks that a Hash-light of Conlon, in the heat of debate, would surpass anything. One man suggests that if some modern Frankenstein could only have for materials Sherman's nose, Marvin's mouth and double chin, Moore's clear eyes, Dono- van's locks with a sprinkle here and there of Baum's, Levy's reach of forehead, and a complexion of the color of the back of Conlon's head, he could con- struct a very prepossessing creature. The proud vote for themselves. The number of men who are voted for as the home- liest is so large that it makes us hesitate concerning the impression we must make on those who are
