" & Teams Must “Get the Breaks” To Be Up in Race I » •:•••? •?•%• <-•-»• T*T* v*v 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?

PARKS=CIIAMBERS=HARDWICK 37=39 Peachtree St. | COMPANY Atlanta, Georgia 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 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 'Tis Not Hard Luck With Browns, not exhibit in its standing the in fluence of the luck vouchsafed is tile 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 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 jinx got lutsy. It was hing. bang, IJtLt Al EAM A GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS: FRIDAY.

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. SOUTHEASTERN LEAGUE.
