The Question Of Luck.

Johnson, in viewing his prospects of
winning the American League PEN
nant, says team has to be lucky
to win, although he, paradoXically
enough. discounts luck as an important
factor in the course of teams playing
fortunes.
when I say lucky, I mean in the
sense of keeping free from injuries that
would disable the teams strength" says
Walter. THAT is the only place in
base ball where I believe that luck
actually shows favoritism. AS far as
the breaks of the game itself are con-
cerned, I have always held that they
even up over the course of a season, in
the same way that if you flip a coin
a thousand times you will get fair
percentage of heads and tails.
Mind you am talking of luck in its
stricteSt sense, not of the so-called
breaks that come from tight hustling.
Those kind of breaks are not luck.
they are earned by the teams hard
work and heads up play. Then there
is often psychological force that goes
to the team that is fighting in front,
certain buoyancy that makes the
players believe in themselves and in
each other. recall that in 1925 when
we were driving toward the pennant
under Bucky Harris, the team had so
much confidence that the bat boy could
have gone to the plate and have reached
base. Probably there is reverse side to
that feeling, such as the Red Sox have
been laboring under for so many years.
A depression in which a team curses
its bad luck is the genuine cause of
what seems to be misfortune and actual
ly contributes to its loss of driving
power. After all man, base ball
player or otherwise, is no better than
his confidence in himself
Veteran players rarely go as deeply
into batting and playing slumps as the

THREE Eastern clubs are about all
that are left in the American
League pennant race, but the
four Western members are put
ting on struggle of their own that is
close enough to stir up some interest.
Cleveland, holding fourth place by a
diminishing margin over Detroit, is
having great rivalry with the Tigers,
while Chicago and st. Louis are staging
an equally close struggle for sixth place.
The Indians went one up on their
nearest rivals yesterday, with eight vic
tories against seven for Detroit, by
winning yesterdays opening game of an
abbreviated series, to s. Cleveland
got off to a fast start and just lasted
to gain the decision and to improve
their shaky hold on fourth place to gain
Az game margin. There was not
much difference between the teams,
each using three pitchers and each
making IL hits, but Cleveland had the
extra punch to make it three victories
in row for the first time in nearly a
month";
st. Louis again moved ahead of Chi
cago's White Sox. taking sixth place by
a half-game margin and gaining TO
margin in the games played between

here and there. The result is that no
one gets along satisfactorily.
Hartford and PittSfield have been
forced to withdraw from the Eastern
League. 1t is pity that Hartford must
step out because base ball in that city
many years ago was major league base
ball, and Hartford is always spoken of
with respect and praise for its traditions.
Pittsfield is not large enough for a
league of the class of the Eastern. 1t
always has been a bother to get cities
large enough for the Eastern circuit.
With Bridgeport belonging TO the New
York Nationals and Providence assisted
by Boston, Albany independent and New
Haven and Springfield doing the best
they can, the league finally had to jump
TO Allentown, Pa, to round out its cir
cult. That was bad move geo.
graphically. Hartford belongs in any
circuit that can be established in New
England, but 1t has been unable to OPP
crate a club on the basis on which
minor leagues try to run in these days.
The New England League quit alto
gether.
Newark Is Failure.
The International League has had a
splendid run of good fortune in some
of its cities. In others ii has been diff
ferent Newark never has realized what
it should because the club has been I'M
successfully handled. Speaker finally
was dropped as manager He was unable
to do anything with ball players who
were valued too highly by those who
engaged them. Newark should be one
of the best base ball cities in the East
Buffalo dropped its manager because
the team did not stick high in the race
after liberal expenditure of money.
The American Association has been
dissatisfied because Louisville is run
ming away with the championship. The
association is suffering more from lack
IF success and major league toxin in
certain cities than anything else. It's
weak spot is Milwaukee, which needs a
lot of bolstering.

IN ETROIT, July IL After
travelling at dizzy pace
- in the East the past three
weeks, the Nationals again
are up against the lot of Western
clubs, which until recently were
no bargains for them Twice the
WeSternerS trounced the Johnson
. band Soundly, in the two intersec-
tional Skirmishes, taking Is of Is
games. Then at home the Ma
tionalS turned the tables on the
WeSternerS and won IL of Is
games.
If the Nationals move at such a pace
against the West in the 10 games listed
for the trip they'll go home in first
place. IF, however. they do no better
than they did out here the early part
Of June-but that's something not to
think about.
When the East last invaded the West
all the glory that went to the seaboard
contingent was garnered by the Yam
KEGS and the Red Sox. The Yanks
climbed from far down to a fine con-
tending position at the expense of the
clubs out this way, while the Red Sox
made the opposition wonder why Heinie
Wagner's bunch was at the bottom of
the league. AS for the Athletics, they
took a great walloping and held their
place at the top only because the Ma
tionals took worse beating.
It's a different club, though, this
Washington club that tomorrow starts
its second Western invasion of the year,
far different from that which was
mauled by the WeSterners the first
part of June. First of all, the pitch
ing staff has been bolstered by the adj
dition of Al Crowder, who has been a
consistent winner, and the other pitch
ers have become better performers than
was expected by even their coaches who
have worked so patiently with them.
There has been an improvement in at
tack, too. and a betterment in reserve
The Nationals are much more fit for
the impending invasion than they were
for the seasons first

eff I had mastered that art when I
was a young man, I'd still be taking
my turn every four days. But I wasted
my arm unnecessarily because, with the
indifference of youth, the idea of age
was too remote. Few pitchers can
bear down for nine innings and have
as much stuff in the ninth as in the
first. I've tried, with some success, to
drill that idea into the heads of my
young Staffmen I tell them, don't
pitch until you have to and then give
them the works If we could master
that it would add is per cent to the
effectiveness Of the staff"
johnson believes that the average
player does not pass his meridian until
he has been eight years in the major
leagues. A glance down the list shows
that some of the leading veterans had
their best seasons as follows, giving
first the number of years already in
the majors and their age at the time:
Cobb after seven years (25 years of
age); Collins after six (24l; Carey
after fifteen (35); Frisch after five
(25); Heilmann after nine (29);
Hornsby after ten (28); Judge after
six (26); Sam Rice after eleven (33);
Ruth after ten (29): Sisler after eight
(29) Speaker after fourteen (32) Ken
Williams after seven 800; Shalk after
eight (27); Schang after fourteen $3.50.
A grand average of between eight and
nine years in the majors and an actual
age of between 20 and 80.

BOSTON, July 11-Walter johnson

an "old man" in the game, and that
the longevity of major league players
will continue to advance indefinitely.

their best stuff for the pinches and to
coast along the rest of the way.

 The fire started on the second floor and swept upward to the roof, trapping many of the 35 resident families. Bremen, helpless before the fury of the fire. concentrated efforts on carrying the prisoners to safety.
 A 70 year old woman, Mrs. John Thomas. who had been caring for Helen Todd, [, who was ill, and her little sister, Barbara Todd, months died with her little charges in the flames. Their bodies were found side by side.
 Little hope was held for recovery of Mrs. Thomas Whitaker 50, who was found frozen to the floor of her third floor apartment. She had been badly burned and then drenched by water from fire hoses. As the fire was eXtinguished in that part of the building, the water congcaled and she was fastened to the floor by the ice.
 One man was reported missing in early checks of the residents, but police and fircmen said they be- lieved only the aged woman and two little girls pershed.
