 New York, October 3.-The world series has superstitions lunches, iinxes and fetiches of it's own. They are of different type from the or dihary fetiches like the load of empty barrels. They are more arls- tocratic, more subtle, more awesome as benefits their greater impor- tsnce.
 For plain league game, you may see load of empty barrels and be assured that you will bat well, but if you find a penny before the first world series game is played, you will win that game, providing, of course, that you are a player of one of the contending teams.
 Under no condition must you un- dertake to extract the sweetness of an ice cream soda through a straw before the world series starts. It is an invitation to a whitewash. You are drowning the run column by slow | irrigation. It is also dangerous to light cigarette or cigar at a | lighter of common use. The proper method of attaining fire is by means 1 of a safety match, borrowed. 1 Expectations
 ] In II world series, the team that won the first game has won the series. So often has that prevailed that 1t almost has been accepted as gospel, yet it is bad sentiment to have spread. because it does discour- age the team losing the first game. l The first game superstition began l in 1905. That year the Giants beat the Athletics In the first game, to 0. Mathewson pitched for the Giants. In 1906 the White Sox de- feated the Cubs in the first game, 2 to 1.
 Neither the Cubs nor Detroit won the first game in 1907. It resulted in a tie. . to 3, at the end of the twelfth inning. The next day the Cubs won from Detroit, to ], and that was just as good as the first game for the Cubs. because they won the series.
 In 1908, the Cubs defeated Detroit in the first game, 10 to 6, and won the series for the second time from the Tigers. In 1909 Detroit got in again and this time was defeated by Pttshurg. 4 to 1, and lost the series

 In 1920 Cleveland won th,S first game. 9 to 1, and won the series, too It was the second time a series of nine games has been startec The first being 1914. Whether nine games are advisable is still another matter for discussion. Most folks think they were inaugurated merely to get a little more out of the pub lie.
 There's another world series lunch which must not be overlooked. The fourth inning is thought to be one Of eventful importance. If one team gets ahead of the other in the fourth inning Hook out for trouble along the line the team which passed.

He hit Matty for a home run after Matty had discussed in print how Marquard should not have let Baker hit him for a home run. That was once when Matty's venture into journal ism got him in line for little good natured railery.
 The Best Series
