The fact that one bat so much lighter, after holding three, is a truth, aside from the superstition of the thing. Nap Lajole always dri 4 line in the dirt of the batter's box be fore taking his position. le will not face the pitcher without this pre liminary, Barney Pelty must throw a curve ball before last to the catcher, curve, when warming up between innings, is always @ Rube Oldring insists on the little mascot of the Athletics standing in a cei in place when he is at bat. Always, before delivering the ball, Russell Ford adjusts his cap. After receiving the ball from the catcher, Coombs usually juggles it several times before getting on the rubber. Bill Donovan dislikes to strike out the first batter. the forerunner of bad luck.
