 There are acores of things one csn- not do on the stage without transgress- ing tradition from raising an umbrel- fm to speaking the sstag', of new play in rehearsals- Baseba1lss traditions are not so htdebound nor so generally ob- served TtE guperstfttons chiefly are in- dzvidue1 or, af least. peculiar to differ ent teams Of course there Is the old belief that the umpire never can be right except occasionally on fly balls. and that is as widespread as the game ftself But. in the main. the supsrsti- eaons are sporadic.
 one of the oldest eases fg found In the Buffalo Feds' camp. Did you ever watch Hal Chase at bat7 You may have to watch a whole game before you discover his pet superstition But if you look closely you will sec that he always wears on the little button on tep of his cap a wad of chewing gum. Every time he steps to the plate that
 
 gum shops in town happen to be closed and there is no way to get any 'twaix.'' The gum sticks there unnoiested un- less Chase has two strikes called on him Then he reaches up. removes the gum and puts 1t in his mouth, where it umdergoes vigorous masticatlon during the rest of that time at bat. While in the field Chase usually keeps the gum i'm his face instead of on his cap. but never does he go to bat with it in his mouth. and never does he remove 1t from it's perch on his lid unless there are two strikes ca him
 Players are sometimes "touchy'' about such things- Everybody in baseball has noticed Chase's little gum fotble. but nobody knows why. You see. no- body has asked him Some of them have little Bi1lfxen stunts of their own to play. which might make them look 15olfsh in the eyes of their pals, and they like to have their own superstl- tfpns respected. Consequently they re- epect Hal Chase's and merely wonder what effect a wad of gum can have on third strike
