The Washington times., 1902-06-05

Does anybody want to buy a first
class boodoo, in good working order,
only slightly worse for wear?
Bill Carrick, the baseball pitcher who
works for the Washington baseball
lean, has come to the conclusion that
he has no further use for his hoodoo,
and will sell it or exchange it for the
rental of a furnished hat in a fashion
able locality for the rest of the local
baseball season. Here is a chance for
somebody to acquire d rafting good
hoodoo, one that has never been known
to fail at the right moment.
Mr. Carrick, whose se5riauet. Poker
BILL, does him an injustice, inasmuch
as he confines his amusements this sea-
son to baseball and pinochle, must get
rid of this hoodoo OF his before tonight
at 6:20 O'Clock, when he leaves for an
extended tour of the West, and unless
he hears from some one who is in need
of a cracker jack article in the hoodoo
line, he will have to tie 1t up in the
back yard until his return.
Who wants the hoodoo?
Winnie Mercer and Clarke Griffith,
please write; regards to Hank Plank.
This sale OF the Carrick hoodoo is
apropos of Poker Bits splendid work &C
a baseball pitcher of late. Up to the
morning of Memorial Day, Mr. Car
rick was handicapped by this hoodoo at
NJ ~ h.
not lose it, but on the morning when
the Vets and the Vats-to-b be marched
over to Arlington, Mr.. Carrick side
stepped his hoodoo and captured the
game with Chicago. Since then Manager
Lotus has insisted that Poker Bill, of
Grand Rapids, is exceedingly fit, and
again yesterday sent him in against
Detroit to give test of his skill in
manipulating the sphere.
CarTick's Good Pitching.

fine shape, and at no stage of the pro-
ceedings were there any doubts as to
the result, although in the eighth in
ming the Tigers threw a scare into the
Senatorial camp, but when our repre-
sentatives Of the national game had
chance in the latter half of the same
act they hurled the scare back at the
Wolverine fellows and went them one
better
The game was a model one. There
was plenty of hitting. and, fortunately,
the smuggling was all on the right side
And, too, the fielding was sometimes
brilliant, especially when a ball was
sent down to the territory looked after
by Coughlin, from Scranton, where the
strikes come from. Coughlin seemed to
be all over the field, and several OF
his stops and throws were actually phe-
nomenal.
Keister, who is the only man on the
local pay roll who can catch squirrel
by making a noise like a nut. did some
OF the best hitting of the matinee. He
is credited in the score with trio OF
- bits, but two OF these were for three
sacks each, so pretty fair idea of the
extent of the chunky second baseman's
connection with the ball can be had.
Jimmy Ryan COPIED out a homer, Dele
hanty came in for three hits, two
singles and double, and Wolverton got
a single and a double. Dick Harley
and Bueiow both knocked out triples in
the eighth, the only inning that made
the crowd wonder if it were possible for
