BELIEVES IN SIGNS,

! 1T is a well known fact that most ball
players are superstitious, nut when ii
comes down to the real thing, Doctor
Andrews, who plays Buffalo's third base
SO well, is probably the most supersti-
tIous of EN- all.
the bats must not be crossed when they
lie IN front of the bench. On the occa-
SION Of the first Indianapolis-Buffalo
game Andrews called a turn that opened
the eyes of the Bisons. ust as Shearon,
who was the first man up, stepped to the
plate to bat, Andrews happened to look
at the pile of bats and at once jumped
INTO the air, at the same time shouting:
-Four runs this time. It's a cinch. Never
failed yet"
Sit down: you're crazy replied Dan
shannon, who was just a bit nervous.
II tell you we're going to get four runs
this time. Do O see that?' he asked.
pointing to the pile Of bats.
See what?' asked Shannon.
Why, those four bats sticking out
lurtner than the rest. That means Wei
get just that many runs. just you wait
and see Everybody coughed, but Doc
was evidently very much in earnest, so
they waited. all thinking how they'd kid
the third basernan when the side was out.
Then Shearon made a hit.
h. Here's the starter cried Andrews,
rubbing his hands. The next man'll get
his base on an error" and SO he did
Magoon fumbled the ball While Gettnan
went to first and Shearon perched on
second.
There's three hits coming" remarked
Andrews, as he picked out a bat. Just
then Billy Mailman cracked out a hit
and brought Shearon in, while Shannon
was forced to crack a smile as Andrews
poked him in the ribs. Carey went to bal
and nit safely and scored Gettman.
MWatch me- said Andrews, as he ran
10 M Thn e,,~% A-y
cracked Tor a hit, and as he stood on first
ne yelled, Didn't I tell your to Shan
non. Andrews went out at second. hut
a moment later Carey came rrotting home
on knobs long fly, making the fourth
run. ~
Whenever you see the bats fixed that
drews. ~
All night replied Shannon. ''Shoye
out about six of those sticks and wen
win sure, Halligan.'
bea ,nn! de eska go: Don't touch 'em for
dreWs. THE bat boy has to do it when
he isn't thinking"
The players had a good laugh over the
circumstances, and, no doubt. some of
them became converts to Andrews base
ball religion.
Second Baseman Billy Mailman, in dis
GUESSING base ball superstition in general
ana the Andrews variety in particular.
recently said: ANY player win feel
good If he sees a load of barrels on the
way to the grounds, because il means a
lot of hits for his team, bur this fellow
Andrews goes crazy when he sees one,
He jumped out of the bus and ran be-
hlnd 1t all the VIZ Y to the grounds in De-
troit, because he discovered that 10 men
in uniform were riding in it, ana at in
dianapols he ran outside the grounds to
find a bat boy. He wouldn't have one
from the stand or the bleachers. 1t

speaks well for American enterprise and
American business methods.
WHO PROFITS?
From this review of the worlds great

tnat pald has been in the minority. What.
lnen, one may well ask, is the financial
lnducement for a nation to enter upon
sucn a costly experiment? The answer
u.s. or course. that exhibitions are run ON
the free lunch" principle.
u n nation provides the bread and
cheese In the shape of it's exhibits, with
tthe expectation of being able to recoup
itself by the enormous sums spent by the
1t attracts. For instance, it has
Deen estimated that aS the result of the
farls exposition of 1889 the French rail-
roads were benefited to the extent of
$l5,OoO, QUO, the postoffice by 81, 500, 900, the
Octroi duties by 81, 600, 900, while hotels,
theaetrs and merchants in general ali
feaped rich harvests.
I In fact, it is stated that the $500, 900
people who visited Paris on this occa-
sion left behind them no less than $780,
900, 900. ~
- Under these circumstances it is not diff
cult to imagine why the government
should be SO willing to grant the direct?
ors OF the attraction a subsidy of 81, $780,
QUO. as was the case in 1889, or why the
French people should be so willing to
undertake exposition after exposition in
the face of so many dismal failures.
