All because it has lost its charm, its potency, its weird and unfailing ability to bring a win to the Buccaneer cause. Both Larry French Remy Kremer wore the sweat shirt in previous clashes.

Larry won two and Kremer two. In their last two contests not counting yesterdayboth faltered and were relieved. Nevertheless victory came to the Bucs. But now French has suffered his first defeat. Had he remained in, he might have gone on to win; the lucky shirt might have pulled him through.

But he didn't. So the shirt is passe. Hereafter any old shirt will do.

Their own batters have gotten more than their share of singles, doubles and triples, but are mighty far behind in the matter of four-basers. Yesterday they outhit their foes, yet three of Boston's nine bingles were out of the playing field and accounted for three tallies. Walter Berger, former Los clouter, got two, the second an exceptionally long one over the left field fence, while Johnny Neun hit one into Billy Holt, Canton Negro, and Ted beaten the Pirates five out of seven times, last year defeating Grimes, the record shows, in a 6-3 game among others.

But at present the lanky California is lining out screeching real assignment tonight and may find his win streak shattered. his control and his knowledge of batters.

I just go in there and The crowd was primed for his home run drives in yesterday's game, for preliminary practice he smashed three balls in succession over the scoreboard into Schenley Park.

One cf them cleared the board by 40 feet, and the other two went over with feet to spare. Of course, the young man got no credit for those wallops, but he got a big hand when he put the first homer over the fence to the right of the board in the seventh inning. His smash in the eighth was a beauty. It went out of the lot about 20 feet to the right of the scoreboard, and struck on the roadway at least 20 feet from the fence. Then on one bound, it went to the grass plot near the fountain, where It was retrieved by a passerby.

I was talking to Bill McKechnie about Berger before the game started. He had just slammed those practice balls out of the yard. -There's one of the most powerful batsmen I ever saw," said the Brave commander. "He drives a ball as hard as any man in the game. He cost us a lot of money, but he is going to be worth it.

He's just 24 years old. Give him one full season in the big show, and I believe he will be battling for the lead in batting with the best of them. He still has something to learn, buf he's catching on quickly. He has a world of natural ability." The manager's words were borne out by what Berger did a little later. He a richt-hand hitter, stands six feet three inches tall and weighs 198 pounds.
