Lat 0f Rules Adopted By Some Play
ers to Ward On m-Luok
of All Sorts.

Players and rooters in the national

believe in ~"hoodoos" and some Of the
rules which they have adopted to ward
of disaster are interesting. The best
recipes are rs follows;
Under no circumstances cross the
roadway in front Of q load Of empty
barrels.
TO pass a hunchback negro without
recognition is fatal. He must at all
hazards be stopped and shaken by the
hand, while a penny is rubbed upon his
back.
II is dangerous TO pass through a fu-
neral procession. Walking by the side
Of a funeral is permissible and rather
favorable than otherwise. II the time
will permit, 1t would be better to ac-
company the hearse 10 the cemetery
gate, but no farther.
There are many players who would
faint at the sight Of a redhaired wom-
an while on their way to a game.
OF all the Kentucky hoodoos a yellow
dog has ever been the most dreaded.
II q colored newsboy should happen
10 step on the omnibus or street car
on which you are riding, hold on TO
him.
While playing do not allow a stranger
within your tent or upon your players
bench.
None Of the leading ball players
wears a new uniform when he can avoid
doing 50. II the new dress becomes i'm
/ perative a well-authenticated rabbits
foot, carefully tucked away in the lin
ing, may act as q counter charm.
Many Of the most famous batters hold
that disaster will follow II a strange
hand touches the bat.

evil to the pitcher. 1t is on record that
a pair of shoes sold by a cross-eyed
negro 10 one Of the Baltimore catchers
was responsible for the disaster that
attended his nine through the
Walk on the right.hand side Of the
way, II by inadyertence you should
happen TO be on the left hand, make
three revolutions TO the right before
crossing.
No experienced ball player will, while
travelling, sleep with his feet pointing
toward his destination.
DO not put the baseballs in the bat
bag.
It's injudicious to talk 10 a girl with
a cast in her eye.
Many players and followers ot base
ball would sacrifice a weeks growth
rather than meet a clergyman on their
way 10 a game.
7 IL you are a professional player, by
no means ride on a street car or other
cheap conveyance.
Don't carry an umbrella unless the
rain has started before you leave your
home.
