Eddie Cicotte is the only pitcher
who has shown any weakness duringt
the home stay of the Sox, which RET
suited in nine victories and two de-.
feats. Cicotte lost both of those,
games.

effective, and Jim SCOTS wounded

him to return to the firing line. Wolff

the Texan is carrying no surplus fat3

Along with this pitching prowess,I
some of the fellows have begun tor

Collins did not start fast, but in the
Cleveland and Detroit series he boost-i
ed himself appreciably, and by thes
end of the week should be above theI
300 mark and travelling easily. Brieff
is the biggest improvement. His bat
ting for the last four games has been
excellent.
No man on the Sox team hits the
ball harder than the first baseman,
and the only reason he does not stand
higher in the percentage is that his
raps have been directed at fielder.
Fourier, of course, is leading the
team, as well as the league. Big Jack
is the happpiest man on the South

Dixie Composed
By Northern Man

AUTHOR TELLS THE ORR
GIN OF THE WORD
Dixie"

Songs may come and songs may
go, but some songs 20 on forever
One of the forever" appears to be
Dixie" says the New York World.
Once appropriated to the service Of
the Confederacy as battle song, its
Use and popularity are now national
in fact, one hears 1t the world
over. Few know the words of Dix
ie." yet so contagiously pleasing is
its music that 1t has become song
without words Of universal appeal:
Many stories are related, with
more or less authority by the tellers.
as to how the song same to be COM
posed and as to the origin and sig
nificance of the word Dixie" There
is, however. no doubt as to Its
authorship. 1t was written by Dan
lei Decatur Emmett in 1859 while
he was a member of Bryant's Min
strels, whose theater was at No. Az
Broadway, New York.
| The story of how 1t came to be
written was often told by Emmett
Under his contract he was obliged
whenever called upon, to compose
new walk around" to be sung al
the close of each performance. II
was on one of these occasions tha'
he wrote "Dixie'--on very shor'
notice, as he said. 1t was first sung
as extant programs show, on Sep
TENDER ~, 1859. A program of thai
date reads: THE performance u
conclude with Dan Emmett's origin
al plantation song and dance, DIX
les Land, introducing the whole
troupe in their festival dance"
Origin of Word Dixie"
As to the origin and significanc'
of the word Dixie" Mr.. Emmett
said that it was suggested to hin
in this way: AS soon as cold. wintr!
weather set in up North the min
strels of his company would wisl
themselves back in Dixie's Land. On
a very cold day 1t was common 10
them to say longingly. 20! wisl
I was in Dixie's Land" AS to tn
meaning of the word Dixie" a
thus used 1t was vaguely supposed
to be a diminutive Of Dixon, de
noting any place south of Mason an
Dixon's line.
But whatever the origin OF tn
word pixie" may have been tn
song Dixie" first sprang into popu
larity in New Orleans in the fall o
1860, where it was sung in theate
at the close of spectacular perform
ance by troupe Of young womel
dressed as zouaves. Its success wa
instantaneous. and from the Ores
cent City it rapidly spread to Con
federate battlefields, soon becomin
firmly established as the Southern
war song.

must he play intelligently directed
by the mother. No matter how busy
she is, she should spend "a certain
amount of time every day playing
with her children. BY SO doing she
may develop them physically and

"Purposdsul play should be en-

giving him a foolish 'pacifier' to
suck, let him have a medicine ball
to strengthen his muscles, or a toy
balloon and string of bells to train
the senses OF sight and hearing.
"As soon as he is little older
fit up a room, or even the corner OF
a room. as gymnasium. with a
punching bag, artificial tree and
other simple paraphernalia. Thus
his natural donging for exercise will
be satisfied in no aimless fashion"

Only Sixty Days
Until Another
Speed King
Is Announced
500 MILE RACE AT INDIANAPOLIS
WILL IN ALL PROBABILITY
BE WON BY AN AMER
ICAN CAR

Sixty days from now another In
dianapolis 5OO-mile race, the fifth of
the series will have passed into his
tory. Another legion of motor fans
will have crowded the indianapolis
speedway to witness the making of
another speed king. The chances of
the respective entrants, together
with the effect their victory will
have on the trend of the automobile
industry, are already topics of the
day.
Who, then, will win the next In
danapolis o00-mile race is the all
absorbing question?
A survey of the probable field
shows an overwhelming prepOnder-
ance, numerically, in favor of the
American car. Domestic machines
already entered, or scheduled for en-
try, number at least twenty-five out
of thirty-three possible starters.
Against this array is scheduled to
compete comparatively small num-
Der of foreign cars which, however,
makes up in quality what it lacks in
quantity.
Veteran Foreign Cars.
In mechanical excellence there
will be perhaps shade in favor OF
the forei2n car The fact that all
the European machines are veterans
of many a gruelling contest, notably
the last French Grand Prix, and thai
their ability in a race is a definitely
known quantity, would seem to give
them slight edge over the Ameri
can field. which, since it was bull

Aside from the question OF me
chanics. however, there is anotbe

winner. That is the question o
