is TAFT THE HOODOO
OF The CHICAGO CUBS?
When the President Sees Brothers
Team Play 1t Loses-chat of
the Players.

RESIDENT TAFT is a great base
/ ball fan and the Chicago Cubs
probably wish he wasn't. The presi-
dents brother, Charles P. Taft OF Gin
cinnati, owns the Cubs and he may
also wish his distinguished brother
wouldn't attend the games in which
the former worlds champions take
part.
The president visited Chicago last
fall and went out to see the Cubs
fight the New York Giants. Mathew
son and Brown were the opposing
pitchers The Cubs lost.
The Cubs needed that game for it
was just at the time they were trying
to overcome the Pittsburg lead. They
were in striking distance at the time
and the defeat put them back a whole
lot
A few days ago President Taft Wis
tied Pittsburg. The Cubs and Pirates
were to play and the chief Of the fa.ls
wanted to see the fight. He did. The
Cubs lost. What's the answer?
Is president Taft Cub boodoo?
Before the game the president SAID
he wanted to sit on the third base
side where he could watch Hans Wag-
ner, the great Pittsburg shortstop, and
Johnny Evers, the Cubs star second
baseman Consequently he had spe-
cial box and he saw the players in
action to his hearts content.
The president also wrote his name
on some baseba1ls. Chance and EVers
of the Cubs and Clarke and Wagner
of the Pirates each got one. Evers
and Chance got theirs before the
game. Clarke and Wagner received
their trophies after the game. In
Washington on opening day the presi-
dent wrote his name and best wishes
on ball for Walter Johnson the star
pitcher. Johnson lost the next game
he pitched.

Fred Merkle of the Giants, who
made himself famous by his failure to
touch second in a crucial game few
years ago, taught whole lot Of ball
players lesson. In the ninth inning
of a recent Athletics Washington
game. when Killifer was walked,
forcing home the winning run, not
only did Killifer have to be told to go
to first, but Doc Gessler admitted tha$
he came near running for the club
house without touching home plate
when Kil1ifer was walked. when
heard Evans declare four balls,
started for the clubhouse, and then
suddenly the Merkle incident flashed
across my mind, and I ran for the
plate" said Gessler. For an instant
it did not strike me that it would be
necessary for me to touch the plate,
for it seemed that the game was over
when Kil1ifer was sent to first. You
know under such conditions even
player allows his enthusiasm to run
away with him, and / must confess
that I came very near making seri-
Gus mistake. "-Philadelphia Times.
