New York, May 18.-A wet field did not interfere with baseball at Ford! ham yesterday and the City College nine received it's annual defeat on the Maroon diamond. The score was 6 to 2. The visitors got both their runs in the first inning while the Fordham team was trying to get used to the wet ball. Fordham then cut loose and exhibited the brand of ball it hopes to offer against the Army on Saturday, and c. c. N. Y.'s hopes for another run died quietly.

How to Pitch.
The Hoodoo or Not?

The revised, re-edited and re- iuvenated Indians from Cleveland are now booming along upon their most prosperous journey in many years.
 The question now before the house is whether or not the old hoodoo of other days will return to drag l-.om back.
 In the campaign of 1904 Cleveland was 113 points beyond the field in June The old flag was practically won. And then Lajoie, Bradley and Joss were badly injured and the club hit the rocks. Another spurt carried them forward in 1905, when Joss, Bradley, Clarke, Stovall Bemis and others were injured, and retired from two weeks to four months. In 1908 they had another grand shot at the top, only to have Tuck Turner in Jured. Such untoward events and lack of the proper utility material have blocked Cleveland from at least three flags. The dope on this pres ent club is not a matter of first line strength, which has already shown it's ability, but what will happen when the reserves have to be called in. It IS here the Indians still have to show their pennant proba bilities. Injuries to Chapman and Klepfer, two stars, failed to upset them, which is a win ming sign. But this has left the
 clubs present strength pretty we'll with the first line.
 D. l.. G.-In our opinion Bill Brad ley ranked up with Collins and Devlin. These were the greatest third basemen of the last twenty

These Here Giants.

Those who are inclined to fume and fret because at odd or even in tervals the Grandolddope fails to pan out properly should consider the case of the Giants.
 Here is a ball club that won two out of it's first fifteen games, And then, just as the jeeTing and hOOting was at it's loudest, suddenly turned while on the road into one of the best winning streaks of the year, a club that down in the depths was able to win three times as many games in one week as it had been able to win in four weeks.
 How does one account for these shifts? How could a club like Bos- ton in 1914 be a bad last and fail to win anything like half of it's games up to July suddenly turn into a .75O clip and win a pennant? The turn, as a rule, comes from lketter condition plus better luck, which in turn develops better spirit and better confidence. When the Giants were losing, nothing they did
 was right, Hard luck and lack of confidence were responsible for most of this. When they began to win the | tide veered sharply. There is nothing
 
 | to develop the proper luck. As for the dope, you may recall the l three clubs that were counted out of 1 the American league race back in ] April-the only three that had no 1 chance to win. They were Cleveland, 1 Washington and Philadelphia; and 1 the insiders were offering against 1 Cleveland exactly 50 to 1. There may be no further dispute as l tc whether John Paul Jones or Nor 1 man Taber holds the mile record l after Johnny OvertOn the Yale star 1 finishes up the season.
 As we remember the incident, l Boston, Detroit and Chicago had the l three top floors in the American 1 league reserved for the season. Can 1 it be they are in arrears on their
 rent or did they find the high alti- l tude trif1e depressing?
