Opinion by
Judge Blatt,The Millvale Sportsmen’s Club, Inc., (employer) appeals from an order of the Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board (Board), which affirmed a referee’s decision awarding benefits and attorney’s fees to James H. King (claimant). Three issues are raised by the employer: (1) whether or not the claimant was an employee of the Millvale Sportsmen’s Club, Inc.; (2) whether or not the claimant suffered a permanent loss of his eye; and (3) whether or not the award of attorney’s fees was proper. We think that there was sufficient evidence to support the findings of fact as to each issue and that the Board and the referee correctly applied the law. See Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board v. Bond Transport, Inc., 22 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 86, 90, 347 A.2d 788, 791 (1975) which held that neither the compensation authorities nor the *341courts should be solicitous to find contractorship rather than employment; Hershey Estates v. Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board, 9 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 470, 473, 308 A.2d 637, 639 (1973) which held that the test is whether the injured eye was lost for all practical intents and purposes; and Ball v. Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board, 19 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 157, 159-60, 340 A.2d 610, 611 (1975) which held that the award of attorney’s fees is the rule in these cases and their exclusion is the exception to be applied in cases in which the record establishes that the employer’s contest is reasonably based. Accordingly, we affirm the order of the Board.
