Teams Must “Get the Breaks” To Be Up in Race

No Chance for Those Forsaken by Dame Fortune
Ry Monty.
rpHERE is no denying the fact
I that luck is a big factor in
baseball as it is played to
day. "Getting the breaks,” base
ball slang for enjoying good for
tune. usually also means getting
the games. Managers and players
insist that they can not win with
bad luck pursuing them, and they
offer as proof of this assertion the
fact that the Cincinnati Reds and
the New York Giants are neck and
neck at tlie head of the National
league race, while the Chicago
White Sox. Washingtons and Bos
ton Red Sox are showing the way
for the American league teams.
These combinations are the ones
that so far have escaped handicaps
in the shape of serious injuries to
their players.
The Cincinnati Reds, ably man
aged by Hank O’Day, began the
championship season in splendid
physical trim, and they have had
practically all the breaks ever
since. Old Hard T.uck, who made
Redtown fans groan for many
years, has been driven away, it
seems, and everything is lovely for
Garry Herrmann these days. O’Day
has nm once bei-n compelled to
change his regular line-up because
of injuries, and his leant is moving
along like a well oiled machine. The
Giants were not handicapped by the
injuries sustained by Pletcher,
Doyle and Murray, for the reason
that McGraw was fortiinate to pos
sess splendid young substitutes in
the persons of Shafer, Groh and
Burns. The New York pitchers all
have been fit. with one or two mi
nor exceptions, and the whole
team has been able to keep going
at top speed.
Jimmy Callahan, born under a
lucky star, has surprised even Own
er Comiskey of the Chicago White
Sox. He began the campaign with
a fixed line-up and' lie has not
changed it once. The. Chicago play
,ers are. trained to. the .minute and
are fighting with unusual confi
dence. Barring slight, injuries sus
tained by Jake Stahl and Charley
Wagner, the Red Sox have dis
played the effects of several four
leaf clovers tucked away some
where. Jimmy McAleer is extremely
fortunate in having such players as
First Baseman Bradley and In
fielder Engle. Clark Griffith, al
ways afflicted with some jinx
while at Chl< ago. New York and
Cincinnati, appears to have
switched his luck, for the Wash
ingtons have not had a single man
on the hospital list thus far.
But what about the breaks the
other teams arc getting? The

champion Athletics, usually free
from mishaps, have been handi
capped at different times by the
crippling of Coombs, Lapp. Thom
as, Barry, Baker, Lord and Old
ring.
Yankees Badly Crippled.
The New York Yankees have
been unable to show their real
strength because of the absence of
Chase, Street, Dolan. Cree, Wolter
and Hartzell.
The Philadelphia Nationals, prob
ably worse off than any one else,
have been compelled for morejhan
half of the season to date to wor
ry along without the services of
Magee, Dooin, Chalmers, Lobert,
Titus. Knabe, Walsh. Killifer and
others.
The hospital list of the Brooklyn
Nationals has included Wheat.
Hummel, Daubert. Tooley and
Rucker.
The Boston Nationals have been
deprived of Shortstop Bridwell
since the opening of the season,
while Johnny Kling had his finger
split a couple of weeks ago.
The enforced retirement of Frank
Chance was a sad blow to the Cubs
of Chicago, while the recent crip
pling of Napoleon Lajole was an
unexpected knockdown to the
Clevelands. The Pittsburg Pirates
have played many days minus the
services of Hans Wagner and *Mike
Donlin, two of the heaviest hitters,
when right, in the National league.
Both have suffered with injured
legs.
The St. Louis Cardinals have
tried to get along without their
hustling manager, Roger Bresna
han, hut theirs has been a sorry
task, as Bresnahan seems to be a
good two-thirds of the strength of
the team, counting his influence on
the others when in the coacher's
box !
About the only team that does
’Tis Not Hard Luck With Browns,
not exhibit in its standing the in
fluence of the luck vouchsafed is
the St. Louis Browns. They have
had no hard luck, and yet adorn the
lower regions of the American
league standing. Yet, as every one
knows, hard luck is not necessary
to keep Wallace’s jokes at the bot
tom of the heap.
But one does not have to stick to
the current season alone to find in
stances of how luck has affected
the success of a club —luck in so
far as injuries alone are concerned.
Probably the most conspicuous ex
ample of ill fortune in history was.
shown last year in the fate of the
Phillies. The Philadelphia entry
led the National league by an al
most record margin when the
month of July rolled in. Then the
jinx got busy. It was bing, hang,

biff—three down in a row.
First. John Titus, a star out
fielder, broke his leg sliding into
third base. Then Sherwood Magee,
who led the league in batting the
previous year and was going at his
best, had a fight with Umpire Fin
neran and was bounced for the re
mainder of the season. Next Char
ley Dooin, the plucky red-haired
manager and catcher, broka his leg
while trying to stop a man and
tag him out coming into home.
Dooin was out for the rest of the
season.

At the present season when the climate has been a little
off schedule and hot weather is imminent, iH may be safely
sai d that SUMAR is the stuff for suits —for
hurry summer suits.
SUMAR comes to you in suits only—ready to wear —
but they are made for you —by the Muse Order.
rwWii We ordered the Sumar cloth —and then we ordered the
u J/wv/n Wilk suits made.
Why? Because it s the perfect summer fabric and when
yffinnf we know that about anything to wear we have it here for you.
• i I* 8 the yarn in the Sumar that makes it of great summer
i ■// value—its cool—its durable—its shape-retaining.
MH I Tke two suits of Sumar just received are specially at
tractive. Both are blue, diffe ring in shade —one has a red
lullf/lf/r thread decoration, the other a decoration of lighter blue.
One model is English. (jt* f? ZA ZA
