Chance answered the call of the

We're cheers. There was a real sur

thought, could not be lowered by

however, was not left out entirely.

CHANCE SUPERSTITIOUS
Manager Chances superstitions
showed themselves in new hosiery
which adorned the legs of his athletes.
Just before the championship series
began, Chance ordered new sets Of
gray and white stockings for the play
ers-the gray for out-of-towu and the
white with a black stripe for home
use. The new grays were on exhibit
ton during the first two games at
Philadelphia. They did not prove
lucky, however, and for Thursdays

Old white ones be used. This did NO
