" SPORTS CLEVELAND IS UP ONE BOUND HOOAN IS BOASTED BY JUDOE PAG a TOTJ """ iNasTTTOsMllil ' " Tl Y! Federal League Has Hit Naps Harder Than Any Other Aggregation In Baseball Business. PITCHING STAFF CLOSE TO WHITE SOX LAST SEASON Hodoo Seems to Follow Naps, u Each Winter for Several Past Team i ' Seemd to Be Top-Notchers, - SUITED FBESS UA8ID WIU. Chicago, Jan. 30. Tho Cleveland Naps have been hit harder by the Fed erals than any other American league team.'. Jos Birmingham will be against tough proposition in gotting a pitch' ing staff for the coming season, because he has lost three.,of his most valuable men in Falkenberg, Blanding and Kah ler. There is no reason why the Naps should suffer any more than some of the other teams in the American league, but It so happened that' the three men were unsigned and open for a proposi tion, and when one jumped the other two followed. Last year the Naps had a pitching staff almost as strong as the White Sox. It was the boast of the Cleve land fans that they had the' strongest lot of pitchers in the btg leagues, but they will ntt be able to make any such boast this year. Birmingham will have four good men left from last year's staff in Mitchell, Steen, Gregg and Cul- lop. ITe maye be able to pick up one or two worthy youngsters in the spring roundup, but the young pitchers will not be nearly as valuable as Falken berg, Blanding and Kahlor, even . if they proved good enough to keep. Hoodoo Fololws Naps. If there is any hoodoo team in the American league, it is the Naps. For several years the team has . looked strong enough each winter to be one of the top-notchers of the race for the coming season, and jutit as rcgulnrly as the team has worked itself into a com manding place in the race some misfor tune has oecurrod to spoil the season's chance of winning. Manngor after man ager has been tried out In hopes that the change would break the hoodoo and land the team in first place, but each now manager has gone the way of his le'ViMisnr without winning. More money has been spent by Charlie Bom em, owners of the Naps, in the lust ten years for now players than any other owner in tho young major organization, but the money has been thrown away each year. To put a winning combination in Cleveland, fiomors has bought tw,o minor leagno clubs and lias a working agree ment with another minor lengue team that gives him all tho choice players each year, Homers Also Loses in Tolodo, The Toledo club of tho American as sociation has been a contihuous loner fur Homers ever since lie gut rout nil of it. The Mudhens never linvo boon con sistent enough to stick lip In tho race long enough to get the fans of Toledo really onthuslastio over tho game. Kv- ery time a real good player lias been developed on tho Toledo team he has boim shifted at the end of tho season to the Cleveland team, and evory time this has happened A lot of Toledo funs became disgusted and quit going to the games, Down In New Orleans tho Pelicans used to bo tlio winning team In the league, but as soon as ftnmer got hold of it the team began slipping. In 1012 the New Orleans team finished third and last year the Pelicans were at the bottom of tho list, fiomers does not own tho Portland team of tlio Pnciflc coast league, all hough ho has a close working agreement with the club, The tram has been tho Wiling team of the league for some years and finished on top Inst year, but there aro ' several fans, who watched, Somen In baseball, who already are predicting the Portland combination will begin to slip If the agreement with the Naps Is continued Another tenson.
