By NORMAN E. BROWN Almost every pitcher in baseball, no matter how good lie is, would be a better hurler if the powers that be would only eliminate ong club from the league in which he roams. But because of the fact that the teams that pfove jinxés for the various fingers.are aa numerous as the nuni- ber in the feague, this cannot be done. ‘The big league situation is typical: Every team in the thajore last year had the number of some pitcher, Defeats were administered so regu- larly-in some cases that the pitcher Might just ad well have gone home to hia garden when assigned to per- form the sad rites over himeelf.

Jinxes of Tiger Kids Detroit had two brilliant youn southpaw pitchers in Edwin Wel! and earl Whitehall. But every time the Indians and Tigers met the In- Gians prayed for Wélla to pitch. They nicked him just four times ‘in four attempts. And Chloago staged a batting holiday just four times at Whitehall's @xpensé and falled to tive him one grain of comfort or a victory, Slim Harriss, enjoying his best year under Connie Mack, tackled the Browns four times and each one of those four afternoons the St. Louis boys played “hit the pitcher.’ Herb Péntiook, laboring diligently to keep the Yankees out of the American League coal fiole, tried four times to halt. the then world’s got was his name !n the box score four times. , ‘Wingfield, young Boston hurler, tried four times to check the Ath- letics without avail, and Mifler of the Indians, another promising rook. fe, tried four time to beat the Sena- tora—only to get jolted.
