Giants Carry Bag Jinx On Road Tour Inning Ninth Ritual
Giants on their winning road tour kept a superstition alive by having pitcher Perritt carry a black bag to the clubhouse at the ninth inning of each game. The ritual began in Pittsburgh and continued as Perritt or Anderson carried the bag when not pitching, with rallies supposedly halted when Perritt reached the dressing room. The piece notes trades, rival pitches, and local player movements including Bridgeport, Boston Red Sox interest, and Yankee performances.

Enver Pasha a key figure in Ottoman Central Powers alliance
Enver Pasha, the Young Turk military leader, has shaped Ottoman policy since Abdul Hamid's fall. Reports of his assassination proved false, and his recent travels reached Medina and Syria. He allegedly influenced the German alliance despite Crown Prince opposition, while his marriage to Nadjie Sultana in 1914 connected him to Mehmed V and royal circles. German steel output for April was 1,203,398 tons.
