April 3 Wi Jackie Mitchell. 17Tyear-old girl pitching star, made her debut Into big time baseball Thursday by strik ing out Babe Ruth and Leu Gehrig in succession, as the New York Yankees and Chattonooga met In an exhibition game. Going Into the game In the first Inning to pitch only to the Babe, she forced the mighty king of swat to swing twice and then caught him flat footed with a pitch straight down the middle of the plate. She also chose to pitch to Gehrig, strik ing tho Yankee first baseman out on three pitched balls.' She walked! Tony Lazzerl before being taken out of the box. Sport Slants This Game i Of Golf ! : ' ' Li I Hy O.-ll. Kerlcr Out hero on the PaclUb const, more specifically In Los Angeles, where this Correspondent Is living lor n couple 01 months, a brand new golfing n iM"d has popped up. I It is called the "Evil Eye" that (s the name a sports magazine editor gave it. And, I regret to say. iw mnll lous operations (alleged) llrnt wers Noticed among feminine golfers, and, to date, have been restricted to their tanks. ' ' . I The editor was discussing the un expected defeat ol one of the best California players fit the hands of teveral supposedly Inferior players, in parlous tournaments, and he ex pressed the belief that the player in question was affected by the adverse pulling of galleries composed largely Of members of a club' she had ''do erted" (be said) to play for another Hub. . . . . "It Isn't that,' replied tho woman o whom ho was speaking. "It is the evil thought held by one wo) mm in fhose galleries' . And (continued the editor) this lady went on to say that a lot of the girls believed with her that this woman had mastered mental telepa thy to the extent that she could make a golfer miss her shots, or at least some of them. VICTIM MiNIfiS At At : This deplorable suspicion, or con rlctlon, apparently dating back to Balem, Mass., or the late hypothetical t3vengall, was made the subject of comment by one of the leading sports writers of the section, and this elic ited a letter to him from the eminent lady golfer who had been mentioned aa the victim of the malign influ ence. ' This letter, according to my own unlmnortnnt ideas, was quite the most sensible factor of tho entire discussion. Tho golfer stud sho un derstood she was reported os the vie tlm of tho "Evil Eye,'' and had cvsn heard that she was' said to liavo started the rumor. . She denied tho latter report un qualifiedly, and dismissed the other with the reasonable explanation that ehe had played relatively poor golf through most of the winter season, and had deserved to lose a good many matches. IT WON'T WOltK I cannot possibly work up much of a perspiration over tho "Evil Eye" theory, and more especially Its re verso English. I have tried honest ly, through a long career of watch ing golf competitions in which 1 was Immensely interested, never to pull against any competitor figuring that he had enough to struggle with ut best. But I have d one some colossal ; pulling FOR a certain competitor, 1 now retired from the scene of action. At times I have pulled so hard that, I If such things had any effect at nil, the results must have been mngnlfl- cent. ' Hum -ho!
