The HoodOO or Not?

The revised. re.edited and rejuvenated
Indians from Cleveland ahe now booming
along upon their most prosperous journey
in many years.
The question now before the house is
whether or no the old hoodoo of other days
will return to draw them back.
In the campaign of 1904 Cleveland was
113 points beyond the field in June. The
old flag was virtually won, And then
Lajoie, Bradley and Joss were badly in
jured and the club hit the rocks, Another
squirt 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 injured. Such untoward
events and the lack of the proper utility
material have blocked Cleveland from at
least three flags. The dope on this present
club is not matter of first.line strength
which has already shown it's ability, but
what will happen when the reserves have
to be called in 1t is here the Indians still
have to show their pennant probabilities
Injuries to Chapman and Klepfer, two
stars failed to upset them, which is
winning sign. But this has left the clubs
present strength pretty weG with the first
line.

These Here Giants

These Here Giants
Those who are inclined to fume and fret
because at odd or even intervals the
Grandolddope fails to pan out properly
should consider the case of the Giants.
Here is a ball club that won . out of
its first 10 games And then, just as the
jeering and hooting was at its loudest,
suddenly turned while the road into
one of the best winning streaks of the
year. 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 n club like Boston in 1914 be
bad last and fail to win anything like
half of its games UP to July suddenly
turn into $50 clip and win pennant?
The turn, as n rule, comes from better
condition plus better luck which in turn
develops better spirit and better confidence.
When the Giants were losing, nothing they
did right. Hard luck and lack of
confidence was responsible for most of this
When they began to win the tide veered
sharply. There is nothing like confidence,
backed up by ability, to develop the proper
luck.
As for the dope. you may recall the
three clubs that were counted out of the
American League race back in April-the
only three that had no chance to win.
They were Cleveland, Washington and
Philadelphia and the insiders were offer
ing against Cleveland exactly so to l.
There may be no further dispute as to
whether John Paul Jones Norman Ia
ber holds the mile record after Johnny
Overton, the Yale star finishes up the
season.
As we remember the incident. Boston,
Detroit and Chicago had the three top
floors in the American League reserved for
the season Can it be they are in arrears
on their rent, or did they find the high
altitude a trihe depressing?

tiers it still augments, but less rapidly.
Above this hight it again accelerateS

CELEBRATION seems to he explained by the
fact that between $50 meters and 1850
meters the air is usually calmer than
at lower attitudes and the wind more
regular. Above this hight the cold be-
comes a great factor in acceleratton.
Each time a gust strikes the aeroplane
the pulse accelerates During a fight
at a particular altitude the pulse re-
mains constant.
When descent begins there Is again
for very short period a quickening OF
the pulse, due, it is thought, to the
thrill Of excitement experienced when
the engine is shut off. After this the
frequency falls in a regular manner
during a slow descent. Each event" in

Of the flight is always more rapid than
at the beginning. Blood pressure Is
dealt with in the same way. and the
author concludes that in the choice of
pilot pupils men with heart or blood
vessel weakness should be vigorously
excluded. Even the slightest weakness
should, in his view, be sufficient ground
for rejection, because Of the great
strain which will be put on these or

AeropIane Sickness.
(Boston Transcript.)

Aeroplane sickness. now a WELL
known condition, is probably to be
classed with mountain sickness, though
there are many points Of difference.
Thus, the airman reaches a great al
titude much more quickly than does
tho climber and except perhaps, when
the climber goes up by a funicular
railway-with less physical exertion.
Again, the descent Of the airman is
very rapid. The airman has therefore
to adapt himself in an exceedingly
short space Of time to entirely different
climatic conditions. The medical side
Of the problem is being worked out.
and the French are devoting consider
able attention to it. They recognize
that great deal depends on the phys
ical condition of the man sent up. If
he is the wrong type the strain imposed
on him by altitude alone may well de-
feat his utility. If he Is the right type
his value must needs be very much
greater.
The work Is Of highly technical ma
ture. but 1t is also highly interesting
Some Of the most recent researches are
described in La Presse Medical for

Unfortunately these extragavant

worse than thrown away. When We

wheat middlings, bran, corn meal and
salt. colored it may be with powdered

also small proportions of cheap crude

times any possible value it possesses
seems to tend to corroborate the say
