The Hoodoo or Not? The revised, re-edited and re- juvenated Indians from Cleveland are now booming along upon their most LTospercus journey in many years. The question now before the house is whether or not the old hoodoo of other days will return to drag back. field in June. The old flag was practically won. And then Lajoie, Bradley and Joss were badly injured and the club bit the rocks. Another spurt carried them forward in 1905, when Joss, Bradley, Clarke, Stovall, Bemis and cthers were injured, and retired from two weeks to four months. In 1908 they had another grand shot at the top, only to have Tuck Turner in- jured. Such untoward events and proper utility material bave blocked Cleveland from at least three flags. The dape on this pres- ent club is not a matter of first line strength, which has already shown its 2bility, but what will happen when the reserves have to be called in. It is heére the Indians still have to show their pennant probabilities.

Here is a ball club that won two out of its first fifteen games, And then, just as the jeering and hooting was at its loudest, suddenly turned while on the road into one of the best winning streaks of the year, a club | that down in the depths was able to win three times as many games in in four weeks. How does one account for the shifts? How could a club like Bos- ton in 1914 be a bad last and fail to | win anything like half of its games up to July suddenly turn into a .750 clip and win a pennant?

They were Cleveland, Washington and Philadelphia; and the insiders were offering against Cleveland exactly 50 ta 1. There may be no further dispute as tc whether John Paul Jones or Nor- man Taber holds the mile record after Johnny Overton, the Yale star, finishes up the season, As we remember the incident, Boston, Detroit and Chicago had the three top floors in the American league reserved for the season. Can it be they are in arrears on their | rent, or did they find the high alti- | tude a trifle depressing? TIONAL LEAGUE. Yesterday’s Results. New York 9, St. Louis 3. Chicago 7, Brooklyn 2.
