Players Not Superstitious.

In explaining a recent defeat of the Pirates at Chicago, Ed Konetehy, the first sacker of the Pirates, handed out this funny one: "In putting on my stockings Saturday and today,” he'said, "I put the left one on wrong side out Instead of allowing the blamed thing to stay that way, I changed. Then we go and lose” Koney swears that in the future, when the hosiery is donned wrongly, it will remain as first put on. Of course, ball players are not superstitious.
