BESPECTACLED HURLER HILL

Carmen Hill of Pittsburgh Pirates Finds Glasses Are No Handicap While Playing. Carmen Hill, bespectacled hurler of the Pittsburgh Pirates, like Lee Meadows who wears ’em when in action for the Cards, finds the glasses are no handicap whatever. Incidentally Carmen promises to be one of the'' best young right-handers in the National league and Hugo Bezdek the Pirate chief is nursing him with infinite care in the hope he will be able to take his regular turn on the mound later in the race. Hill and Meadows are the only two players In the majors today who wear glasses while pastiming. Both have worn them since boyhood, having weak eyes, but neither has ever been handicapped by the specs when field Ing hard-hit balls.
