Babe Has EN-.

Babe Has EN-.
ABE RUTH has his SUPER
X stitions. For instance, in a
game with Cleveland on the
most recent triumphant swing Of
the Yanks around the presidential
tour map, the Babe pitched to
batters in the practice session.
New York won, so the Babe often
pitches to the batters to continue
their luck.
have advised some of the tail
end clubs to hire the Babe to
pitch for their batters and then
hurry back to New York to keep
his dinner dates. Also, the Babe
catches some Of the pitchers in
practice.
AS there is a shortage in left
handed catching gloves, the Babe
has to use those foolish right
hand mitts and throw that same
illegal way. So he appears very
funny and insane, that big sapp,
standing up there and all the
same as insulting left-handers by
deserving an honorable group, not
to mention slurring this writer,
who is left-handed and can admit
it without being committed to an
asylum.
Another superstition is that of
Miller Huggins, manager of the
Yanks. When on the road he goes
into the same door of his hotel
through which he breezed out Of
on his way to the park, but he
only does this routine if his club
wins. If it loses, he returns
through another door.
If some of the managers was to
follow this custom, they would be
diving in and out of windows, |
am not referring to Kid Gleason.

Huston and the cagey stunt

murdered, the club had a load of

I never could figure out how

Well, that day the Yanks won.
So from then on, Cap Huston
