Probably I would keep on doing this even if some- body convinced me that there was no material use in it, for I have been pretty fortunate in piling up a big batting average while using the two extra flails, and there is no use crossing your luck. But I really believe thet it helps me aside from the psychological effect it may have.

Another one of the Sox pulls Blackburne'’s nose every time he goes up to the rubber. That also must be tough on the “mascot,” but he probably would be willing to take @ punch on the beak if he thought it would aid the Sox to win games.

Upon his return to the Athletics he failed to show any of his olf time form and was given his unconditional release, sonal letter to President Pbbets of the Dodgers figuratively begging for chance to make good again, He de- clared that he was once more in shape and that he was confident that he would be able to pitch in his best known style. .
