Frank Gilhooley.

New York, May 14.-Frank Gil
hooley, the Yanks' fast little outheld-
er, is prepared to claim the distinction
OF being the games leading hard-luck
player. The recent accident in a
game with the Athletics at Philadel-
phia that broke his collar-bone will
probably mea that he will not be
abl to get in the game again for q
month or six weeks.
Gilhooley's chief misfortune has
been to suffer a sever injury at times
when he is just beginning to get start
ed at a fast clip. Last year he broke
IA leg on July 8 while sliding into a
bag and was Of little real use to the
n through the rest of the ~
son. He had Just begun to get ap-
plause as m Of the niftiest young
outfelders in the business when he
had the accident last year.
When the present season started
Gilhooley hoped to have a chance to
all his class and after getting
away to a nice start he dove for 4
ball, landed on his neck and fractur-
ed his collar bone. He can scarcely
be blamed for his belief that the hoo
doc has singled him out.
The Yanks seem unusually mis-
treated IN h matter of hard luck
and gripping and they suffered from
quite q bit last season. With Gill
hooley gone they must do without one
of the best lead-off men in the league.
Gllhooley had worked q pass out Of
the last nine pitchers he had faced
before the day Of his accident. With
hits and passes he had reached first
eighteen times in the nine games,

At a Railway Crossing

On Monday afternoon of this week an automobile
disputed the right of way with a Southern Pacific
passenger train at Cochise station. The funerals Of
two three of the occupants of the automobile have
presumably taken place and another occupant is in
a hospital. The meeting occurred a straightaway
