INDICAT TIONS POI Mt
TO BERGER Y | CTO RY

Milwaukee. Wis, Dec. 19.-Voters in
the Fifth Wisconsin congressional dis
trict. today are choosing between Vic
tor L. Berger, socialist. and Henry II.
Bodenstab, fusion candidate, running
on the republican ticket. to fill the va
cancy caused by congress refusal 10
seat Berger on his certificate Of elec-
tion on November. 1915
1t is generally considered that q light
vote would favor Berger. while heavy
poll apparently would aid Bodenstab.
Poll lists in the district contain ap.
proximately $4,000 names. Berger is
expected to poll 23.OO0 votes which is
about 5000 more than he received in
November, 1918, when the candidates
of the two old parties together received
% .S54 votes.
Berger claims he will be elected by
a majority ranging from 5000 to 1O-
900, and Bodenstab predicts that with
heavy vote he will win by several thous
and.
During the campaign the socialists
upheld all the acts of Berger, for which
he was indicted, while the fusionists
attacked what they termed "Bergerism
and Bolshevism." and made 10y

the most superstitlous player IN

While with the Cincinnati Reds. Cy
was "a batting slump and believed
that his bat was angry with him and
therefore would not hit He took MS
bat into the dining room and poured
a drink Of water and two tablespoons
Of ice cream over g. saying: Now
old boy. I've fed you and given you
a drink You haven't a reason in the
world 20 be mad al me any longer"
Then he went out and made two
baggers that afternoon and was
firmly convinced that he had appeased
the angry bat
He was q believer IN all sorts OF
mascots and hoodoos. but mostly in
hoodoos. and was forever IN quest Of
the 1inL-chasers whenever anything
went wrong On one occasion he led
a mass meeting OF Cincinnati Reds
