to decoys then modulate your call. IIi a marsh remember the birds can de- tect the imitation much more easily in loud than in a untitled call.
 For deep water birds call louder for the calling or else give low chuckle that they can just hear.
 IT birds start to circle away, a few low calls will often bring them back.
 IT In open water, the birds often will go entirely around you to discover what the suspicious bunch of weeds contains, and at such time lie low and do not try to keep them in sight all the while. You. moving will scare them quicker than anything else. Lie low, and stay low, and if the birds come in do not jump up if you hap pen to be on shore. Rest just high enough to clear your blind when you shoot. Be assured the ducks eyes are on the shore side, for there is where they watch for danger, and any movement sends them scattering

NO SUCH THING
 AS A "SHINE" BALL
Eddie Cicotte Tells How Myth Was
 Devised to Fool Batsmen.

Toledo O., Oct. 1.-The secret of Eddie Cicottes shine" ball is that there isn't and never has been such a thing. It was a myth devised for its psychological effect.
 This admission was made by Ci- cotte while passing through here with other members of the new worlds champion Chicago Americans.
 Happy Felsch and I framed it on the training trip" said Cicotte. "The idea was to rub the ball in a way to make the batsman think I was doing something to it. I wasn't really, but others thought I was. Felsch started the talk in St. Louis-got Fielder Jones all worked up about it-and the first thing we knew the shine ball was an established fact in most minds.

A few days ago the boxing world
was startled when Jess Willard crawl

was ready to box any heavyweight on
condition that all money taken in
should be donated to the Red Cross.
The announcement was particularly
spectacular on account of Wizards
attitude siSce he has had the cham
pionship-an attitude which held off all
challengers by the simple but effective
method of ignoring them. 1t was also
surprising on account of WIZARDS pre-.
vius seeming unwillingness to enter
into any activities which would aid
any patriotic cause.
AS 1t stands Wizards announcement
will bear little scrutiny.
In the first place Jess Willard is
not altruistic. Since he won the cham
pionship from Jack Johnson he has
done nothing which would not bring
the money his way and has succeed.

two days. The final practice was held
at the Armory yesterday evening.
Late yesterday evening Coach Moore
was undecided as to who will begin
the game this evening. It is very prob

cover the center and the two forward
positions. Either Hess or Mills will
juno center. The two guards will very
likely be selected from Meredith, Hill,
