If any pitcher ever seemed to be
pursued by hard luck, that pitcher is
Claude Hendrix, of the Chicago Cubs.
He is pitching exceptional ball, but
the errors and poor support of his
teammates prevent him from winning
his games. All breaks seem against
him. In one week, for instance, he
pitched two-hit game and a one-hit
game, but lost both because of his
teammates foozling.
