BALL PLAYERS' SQPERSTITION& Cady Carries Two Bones froth His Own Body—McGraw Has Pied Name on Shirt. Ball players are noted for their su- perstitions, but it was left to Forrest Cady, the backstop of the Athletics, to produce the most unique of all talismans. Some players depend for base hits on the arrangement of their bats in the dugout, the cut of their own hair, or other such tomfoolery notions, but Cady depends on two small, bones which he carries always with him. And the bones are, or, rather, were part of Cady’s own anat- omy, having been removed from his shoulder at an operation last winter. Cady met with accident during the winter and had to have the tiny bones removed from his shoulder. He says he’s all right now, but that if he ever 1ost these talismans he knows his throwing arm as well as his luck would go back on him. He says he feels whole and entire with them, but kind of minus a few zarts when he leaves them aside. McGraw has decided that he will not change the pied Giant brand on his shirt front. . It will remain there, spelled Gaints, until McGraw ls con- inced that it is unlucky. “I'm not superstitious,” said Mec- Graw, “at least not as finicky about hoodoos as George Stallings, but 1 guess T'll let the present spelling stand. “You know,” added the Giant leader, “Stallings ih the most superstitious man in baseball. Harry Sparrow and myself tricked him one day by bring- ing two live crabs out before a game lat the Polo grounds one day just as time was called, we dropped the crabs on the Boston bats and Stallings near- ly died of fright. Heinie Zim always walks up to him and begins to tear up paper as he talks to him. This makes Stallings beside himseif with rage and we generally get off to a good start against him.’ EXHIBITION BASEBALL RESULTS. Houston, Texas, April 4—Score: Chicago Americans ....

New York, April 4—The stock mar- ket. experienced its fourth successive listless session today after an early period which offered hope of a resto- ration of mnormal conditions. Trading lapsed soon after the opening, the monotony thereafter finding occasional relief in the movement of specigl is- sues.

The bout is for the best two out of “thr falls. Monday night he gave an exhibition in Spring- field with Bob Hamel.

Gardner hated to leave Boston where he was a public idol, but he realized that he couldn't buck against the rules of or- ganizeq baseball. Consequently he is aiding Mack by exerting his influence over the other players and in that way he is making a new army of friends in Philadelphia. The Red Sox may regret Gardner's departure before the season ends. Fielder Jones, after looking over TUrban Shocker the .other day, de- clared that the former Yankee would be one of the Brown's best pitchers this year. Six_Phillies still are holding out and Pat Moran cannot begin lining up the Philadelphia regulars. But President Baker is determined to have his own w: The Giants finished their training at Marlin Thursday, and have start- ed on the road north that will land them ut the metropolis on April 14th for the opener.

Vale’'s Hopes of placing a strong baseball nine ‘on the diamond this spring will rest with Coaches Dutch Carter and Bernie Winslow. Carter and Winslow are men with keen base- ball sense and if the players show any- thing at all in the way of real talent these coaches will bring it out. Yale has been hard hit by the numerous en- listments of upper classmen of ath- letic calibre for war service but there are still a galaxy of stars on hand who should be able to uphold the prestige of Old Eli. ‘With the close of the basketball season, the baseball squad took up active -indoor practice in the cage The work consisted principally along the -lines of getting “the eye on the ball,” in flelding the batted sphere and in accuracy in throwing. During the past few days the squad has taken advantage of the good ‘weather by practicing in the open. There seems to be no dearth of ma- terial as the daily attendance shows. But it is yet too early to judge o. Lie relative quality of the candidates. Few of the men have had more than fresh- man, prep-school or inter-class ex- perience and their vaiue as varsity timber cannot be determined until field practice is well under way. Cantain Lyman Ahunt s ol Makars of the Highest and Eqypiian. wga@ was on the Yale nine which last sea- son was disbanded afterr playing the games of its Easter trip. He has just been awarded his “Y” fof playing the games on this trip. The other play- ers have had only preparatory school and Yale freshman experience. Boyd and Gordon made an excellent record at Andover and Sawyer at Exeter. Lynch, the best pitcher of the squad, comes from Derby, Conn., and Prann, the leading third baseman, from Bran- ford, Conn., with only high school ex- perience. Porter, the former Hill school pitcher, will be used as second string box selection. PRINCETON LOOKS TO GOOD SEASON ON TRACK Tigers Have Two First Class Men in Erdman and Sinclaire—Have Not Won Championship in Over Forty Years. Princeton is looking forward to the approaching out door season in track ond field athletics with a great deal of hope, feeling that in C. R. Erdman the hurdler, and D. C. Sinclaire, the ath- letes in the college today of the best around the pair they will be able to build up ‘a highly successful team. Victory in the intercollegiate champ- ionships is not beyond the range of Princeton anticipations, because the Tigers feel that on the strength of their scoring abpility in the Meadow- brook club games they will be able to present a well-balanced scombination at the big meet, with every prospect of carrying off the championship. Princeton won its first and only cham- pionship in the intercollegiate away back in 1876, the first year in which the'I. C. A. A. A. A. held a title meet. Forty-two years is a long time to ‘wait for a second victory, but Prince- ton is determined that it will make a stronger bid for the championship this yeyar than it has in a dozen or mare years. The schedule for the year shows that the Tigers will have only one meet on their home cinder-path in the Palmer stadium. This will be with Columbia, and will -be held on the afternoon of May 4, just before the Childs cup regatta on Carnegie Lake The three other meets in which the Princeton track-and-field men will take part will all be held on fields away from Princeton. The first of these will be the University of Pennsylvania re- lay carnival, at Philadelphia, on April 26 and 27. Following this meet,” the Tigers .will have. a two weeks’ rest before facing Columbia, and then they will wait another two weeks before participating in the triangular meet with Yale and Harvard at New Haven on May 18. The final meet on the card is the intercollegiate champion- ships at Franklin field. University of Pennsylvania, on May 31 and June 1.
