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

No Chance for Those Forsaken by Dame Fortune
By Monty.
THERE is no denying the fact
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 I'imiunati Reds and
the New York Giants are neck and
neck at the head of the National
league race, while the t'hicago
White Sox, Washingtons and Bost
ton Red Sox are showing the waj
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 Luck, 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 not once been compelled to
change his regular line-up because
of injuries, and his team is moving
ong like, a well oiled machine. The
Giants were not. handicapped by the
injuries' sustained by Fletcher,
11 ■ Jiuix le and Murray, for the reason
that McGraw was fortunate to pos
sess splendid young substitutesMn
' 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 t.'omiskey of the t'hicago White
Sox. He began the campaign with
a fixed line-up And he has not
changed it once. The t’hicago plat
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. Jinimt McAleer is extremely
fortunate in having such players as
First Baseman Bradley and In
fielder Engle. ('lark Griffith, al
ways afflicted with some jinx .
while at t'hicago, 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 are getting? The

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 mo e titan
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.
Humnjel, 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
i'hanee was a sad blow to the Cubs
of Chicago, while the recent crip
pling of Napoleon Lajoie was an
unexpected knockdown to the
Clevelands. The Pittsburg Pirates I
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. but 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

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
tlie success of a club—luck in so
far as injuries alone are concerned.
Probably the most conspicuous ex
ample of 111 fortune in history was
shown last year in the fate of the
Phillies. The Philadelphia entry
led Hu National league by an al
most record margin when the
month of July rolled in. Then the

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