Special Dispatch to The Star.


CHICAGO. May 15.-According to all
the signs, omens, predictions and sooth-
sayers. and also according to the beliefs of
ancient Rome, the White Sox won't win any
flag this season. Nothing doing at all.
The falling of the flag. when 1t should
have been raised. is fatal sign. and every
pessimist, croaker or superstitious person
in this community sees nothing now but
disaster for the White Sox.
Charles Comiskey is just as optimistic as
ever. however. He says he doesn't believe
in signs or superstitions. and that the flag
would not have fallen II the overenthus-
sstic fans hadn't yanked the ropes too hard.
Moreover. IL the flag had gone up and
stayed on the pole the tempest would have
removed 1t In hurry. Instead of ill-luck,
the fans ought to be thankful that tie mast
fell behind the bleachers instead of for
ward and into them.
. Joe Cantillon. a man of much wisdom In
the line of base ball superstition, says he
feels greatly worried about his friend
Comiskey's chances. When the flag flop
ped he gave shuddering gasp and a CUR
gly groan. "Um-m," said joe there 20
Comiskey's chances for another flag The
SOX will not finish better than third this
season. It's a blamed shame, and I'm
sorry"
Joe would not say as to whether, in his
opinion. the disaster of the flag pole meant
boost for the Nationals. nor would he
say that they, too, were hoodooed by the
disaster. Wen get along all right" said
he, land you'll notice that / never said
anything about winning any flags this sea-
son. / have team that bats better than
II did last season; there Is nothing the
matter with the fielding and the pitchers
are beginning to work more smoothly. Give
us little luck and / think we'll be well
up on the percentage column by July
The SoX are just as confident as ever,
and treat the fiag-hap incident as a
hilarious joke.
1t was a wonderful scene that blowout
yesterday. Lines of gayly colored, brightly
decorated autos were arranged in horse
shoe where Pat Dougherty usually capers.
Behind Fielder Jones bailiwick masses of
the stock yards horsemen were drawn up,
nearly all mounted on bays and riding with
the grace of natural equestrians. Bands
In gaudy uniforms blared and bray
ed from the side lines The Sox and Sena-
uniforms. paraded up and down the center.
Down by the catchers ward the great men
of base ball and the high guys of Chicago
stood in herds. while Mayor Russe, Charlie
Comiskey, Garry Hermann and the rest
of the muck-a-mucks made speeches. clear
ly audible seven feet away. At the south
eastern gate. swarms of Indians and cow
boys, cowgirlettes and vaqueros, were
streaming in adding a glow of color and
was a matchless spectacle-too bad the flag
had to flop and the / ain had to fall.
The field will still be damp today, but the
Sox and Washingtons expect to play some
ball just the same. Snow is predicted and
II Is cold.
