Prior to th gam th third aacker of tha Athletlca borrowed Bush' discarded bludgeon for batting practice.

Baker led tha onelaught against Mullln, Dono van and Summer. He had four hits In five time to th plate, the ooUectlorv lncludlng a homer and two double. Baker haa never alnca let that good stick out of his sight It Is aald h slept with it during tha world's series last fall. , rat Helped Jfaekmaa. Thua It will be seen that fate used the haplesa Hlghlandera as an Instru ment towarda Connie Mack's greater glory In 1911. New York handed the pennant to the Quaker City by wallop ing tha living daylights out of Detroit all eeaaon. It waa the Hllltoppera thai first put the Jungaleers on the tobog. gan. The first few weeks threatened a walkover for Detroit The sensational winning streak of the Bengal was broken by New York. Every time after that when Detroit gave any evidence of pulling together and heading off the Athletic it met with reverse at the hands of Gotham. Hal Chaae's olub lost aa consistently to tha Whit Elephants as It won from the City of tha Straits. And then th world' series. Where would Baker have bean without his formidable bat? But for Simmons, who is now a Yankee, this slugger would never have Been th piece of wood that he loves dearly as his Immortal soul. Bush may claim th credit of aiding the Athletic to the highest honors of base- 'J ' aeBjk J The bat with wblch J. Franklin Baker robbed the Qlanta of tbe world's baaeball championship last fall has failed this rear to do Its master's bidding. Tbe club has played the same trick on every man who ever used it first it brought floods of luck, then It brought a Jinx. batting has gone off. Has the Jinx got him? Baker Is still using this club, and his balL But do you not think that Sim mons at least sharea tha halo with Baker and with Bush? Just another little speculation before tha veil Is drawn. Did you ever stop to consider how lucky both Bakr and hit. bat were to gain auch undying fame on two hits? In 4 909 Kred Clarke won a world's championship for Pittsburg In Identically the same fashion. He robbed Detroit of th honor by annexing two separate games with home runs. And both of his demon blows fell with men on th bases. This wonderful old player, a true hero of full 15 campaigns, attracted not even a passing mention through his performance. That waa a series that went the full limit of seven games and one In which the score on both sides were unusually high and fluctuating. Neither blow fell at such critical points of high tension as the circuit smashes of 3. Franklin Baker. Who ever mentions the deadly blow of "Rube" Oldrlng in the fifth game of the world's series with the Giants? 1 HI Tram run smash off Marquard In the third Inning of that tilt at the Polo ground waa the most damaging smash of tbe aerlee. His liner cleared the center left field bleaoher, carried far Into tha crowd and tallied two runs ahead of th batter. It waa the pretti est pinch hit Imaginable, for It fell with two men down. It gave Jack Coomb a I to 0 handicap. Yet. atrange to aay, "Rube" Oldrlng was but an eight Inning hero. Th Qlanta got to Coombe for a run In th seventh, then tied the count in the ninth. Eventually Cran dall beat out Plank, who waa substi tuted too late for Connie's great pitcher. who bad strained himself earlier In the game. Oldrlng1 home run did not stand out because Philadelphia lost Tinker's Komar Decided. Joe Tinker's home run In 1908 In all probability decided a world's champion ship In favor of the Cubs over Deirplt It unnerved Wild BUI Donovan, who for seven Innings pitched on of the most phenomenal games of history. But Joe Tinker's swat was clouded by the fusl lade of hit off Donovan that succeeded once the Ice waa broken. There are some strange superstitions In baseball. One In connection with Baker's bat may be Interesting enough to bear watching. Both Simmons and Bush declare there's a hoodoo In Baker's stick that will get a fellow aooner or later. The flrat time In his life that Simmons fell from the, .800 hitting class waa "When he uaed this same cudgel. BusRt started out upon his ownership of the club like a Ty Cobb. In a couple of months he couldn't hit a lick with It. Frank Baker had hia renowned ash but a short . time last fall before the opening of the' world's series. With It ha swatted like a demon. He Is using th cudgel still; but his hitting so far this season has been away below par. Is there a jinx In that piece of timber and la it working on Baker now? If you are at all Interested In superstition watch the batting averages. HAD HEMORRHOIDS MARSHHELD W FOR RFffl YEARS COOS COUNTY MEET Had Awtul;Tfme.
