There is no such thing in life as a Hoodoo. Certainly n.ot. You can put it down at IQO per cent. bunk. And yet—well, where are you going to classify the New York Yanks? The j Yanks for over a decade have been cursed by misfortune —by the rawest type! of luck. "This," you will say, "was more incompetence than ill-luck." Perhaps it was—before the new owners took charge. _ j But while every other detail of their working order has shifted, Fate hasn't j as the records will show. A Glittering Example A glittering example of Yankee hoodooism is John Franklin Baker. Baker! is a broad-shouldered, bull-necked, thick-wristed citizen of far more than aver age stamina and solidity. i If you figure him as any frail creature, merely consider his record with | Connie Mack's Athletics — 1909 —148 games. 1910—14 7 games. 1911—148 games. 1912—149 games. 1913—14 9 games. 1914—150 games. Here is a six-year record for consistency, in the way of service, rarely qualed in the game. In the course of six years Baker missed less than a week out of the entire campaign—and most of this was due to the two or three days he took away from work at the end of a season to rest up for the World Series. He was always one of those rugged citizens who was nev\ sick and rarely injured. ' Whereupon— Whereupon, after a season's rest on the farm, John Franklin Baker joins You know the answer already. Just as the Yanks were upon the verge last summer of going out to grab a pennant, Baker, among others, became a total loss. For the first time in his career he .was out of the game for more than two weeks. He was out six weeks just at the vital point of the ■ game. , Now, in his second season with the Yanks, three days out, he gets the! bulk of his left thumb shot away and will be out for another long stretch. ! This just after Nick Cullop, the star southpaw, has been waylaid by neuritis j for an indefinite period—and the campaign isn't yet quite a week old. Of course, there is no such thing as a Hoodoo. Certainly not. But what's, the answer? Another Instance A few days ago we had a long talk with Napoleon Lajoie, the eminent French Batting Eye, about the untrammelled ill-fortune that always followed Cleveland. "There has never been anything In baseball like it," he said, "and It has lasted for over fifteen years. There may be no such thing as a Hoodoo—but, whatever it is, it certainly gets on your nerves when you see star players hurt year after year by the queerest sort of accidents and Injuries." There was the case of Joe Birmingham. The Cleveland Club had been battered and broken by Fate for three straight years. In this particular campaign it had lost eight regulars in less than two weeks. Finally, Joe Birmingham was signed. A loud, lusty cheer went up. Not because Birmingham had any great record as a player, but because it was known that he had played halfback at Cornell for two years without having , as much as a second's time taken out for injuries. He was known as the Human Unbreakable. No metal could touch him. This was more important in Cleveland than a .300 average. The club was replete with talent that could bat .300—Lajoie, Flick, Brad ley, Bay, Rossman, Clarke, Bemis, etc. But it had no ballplayer who lasted a month outside of the hospital. Bir mingham entered the city one morning. The next afternoon the football vet eran lunged at a sharp out curve, twisted a ligament in his back and was out over three weeks! Of course, there is no such thing as a Hoodoo. But what's the bally answer? The time is coming, apparently, when it -will be easier to get recruits for the first line trenches than it will be to get recruits for the Yanks. The average span of wounded in the first is only two out of five. How to Putt Get the right line for the ball. Hit It hard enough—that's all. Judging from highly expert opinions, the present war Is going to last any where from two months to four years. Take your pick. Hie "Down With" Club Prussia. Stymies. Infield Pop-ups. "I'd like to believe," writes J. K. G., "that sport builds up a man physically. But the only ones I've beaten for the last two years have all been sick or hurt or out of condition —to judge from their post-mortem confessions." r , r AI:„ a . i PITCHER PETTY RELEASED ueorge Carpenter Alive, Cleveland, 0..

Each day brings one or more sport cancellations because of war. Col leges are having considerable diffi culty in holding athletes. Once there Is real action in the war it is the gen eral belief that everybody will get into the fight. Manager Cockill is going to combine busihess with pleasure. He does not believe in doing things until they can be done right. His trip to the moun tains yesterday gave the rookies and vets a chance to get some fresh air into their lungs. They were ready to begin work to-day.' If Charlie Miller does backstop work for Harrlsburg this season, It will mean much tothe game. He was always a favorite here.

"Babe" Brown who was said to have signed up with Manager Cockill is still in the city. He expects to go to Lewisburg to-morrow. Brown was rather disappointed in not getting word from the local manager to re port with the rest of the bunch. He has been unable to get away from his duties, but said yesterday that he was anxious to start Work. THIRD BASEMAN USES SHIN GUARDS Philadelphia. April 19.—A player with shin guards. This is not a rar ity where football and soccer is con cerned, or even baseball, when the catcher is the object of one's thought, but for an intielder to don the old shin protectors is indeed a novelty.
