If,P1uvius holds of, the All-wilming-
ton League expects to clear the boards
OF It's 1917 schedule tomorrow. For
three successive Saturdays rain has
prevented the playing Of games OF the
league, and when the teams go at u
tomorrow, provided they get the
chance, every player viii be on the
keenest edge TO clean up. Hence every
scheduled game ought to be a corker.
New Castle hits the last day schedule
half a gamo ahead Of Vandever, and
with one game TO play, that with
BrOwntown. Vandever has a two-game
chance, and it's going to be mighty
hard lob, az the east slders are booked
with Pioneers, which team, although
out Of the running for the champion
ship, stands a good chance for place.
Nandever will have TO cop both OF these
games 10 get crack at New Castle Tor

the White Sox way out on top from
which. even ardent Boston fans will re-
luctantly ADMIT, it will be quite some
little Job to dislodge them.
And Il Is on Clcotte that the White
Sox fans depend mainly to crush Nc
Graw's brilliant Giants.
In short series like the annual
classic Clcotte can pitch every other
day, and around Chicago they believe
Eddie has just the kind Of stun that
McGraw's versatile batting stan will
not care a great deal about.
What is the secret Of Ciootte's sue
cess?
In a good many cities around this
league they viii teli you II Is the chime
ball or saller which Is giving him re-
markable success.
In Chicago they declare It's because
"he has the stuff"
Clcotte himself believes II Is due to
hard work and his decade-long study Of
opposing batters.
It Is undoubtedly a combination Of
the last two with the possibility Of the
/ first having something to do with It.
Clcotte undoubtedly has the stuff
on the ball" Whether he gets this
from the shine ball or not is relatively
unimportant now. Around the Circuit
they say 1t liz impossible for q pitcher
TO be doing what CicOtte Is doing at b
without some artificial aid. Clcotte ant
his teammates, naturally, aren't talking
about the shine ball.
Be that as 1t may, Clcotte has woI
twenty-three games so far this year
more than any other American League
3 pitcher, and to do this he must have
ability, whether he uses a shine bal
or not.
Much Of Clcottes success is undoubt
eddy due TO his study OF opposing bats
men. There has probably been NJ
pitcher IN baseball with the exception
. Of Mathewson who gave 50 much Of hi
attention to this.
Naturally studlous, Cicotte scarcel,
ever grooves" the ball for an oppon
ent, and usually Is able by his uncann,
control TO place It where he knows tn
batsman Is weak.
II is indeed strange that Cioott
should have his best season after
decade or more OF rather unprepossess
ing seasons. but there Is nothing me
teoric about Eddie, and there Is n
question that he has been greatly un
derrated in the past. In his entire ca

CUT OUT CROOKED STICKS
Use Of Dead Wood for Fuel Is Also
Applied to Scoundrels and
the War.

Forestry experts in New York, a
state which has given much conserv-
ing attention to it's wealth in trees,
urge farmers to help the country meet
the high cost of fuel by making more
use of the dead and dying timber in
their wood lots. They are advised to
burn in their stoves and CRATES the
fallen logs still sound enough to be
converted into fire wood and to cut
down and utilize crooked trees obvi-
ously foredoomed to w0rthlessness as
timber, no matter how long they may
be allowed to stand.
This is good advice, and there is n
human moral in the crooked stick part
of it, says an exchange. The same
stress of war times. which led to the
appeal issued to New York farmers
in sitting out crooked men. Some ras-
Gals will profit by war conditions, but
in the broad view of the nations af-
fairs the sound and straight will come
to the front. The country can't take
chances with scOundrels. 1t must cut
crooked sticks out of the life-and-
|. death work of the war, in places of
authority.

A Near Calamity.

Little Mary was being initiated into
the wonders of the Pullman car. She
and her mother left the city early in
the evening, each occupyinga big cush-
Toned seat in the car. Mary wished
to know ut once where they were to
sleep, and after five minutes eXplana-
ton by her mother she realized that
they were to sleep in Il bed, made over
their two seats, which would be COM
pleted by the porter about nine o'clock.
At the next stop man entered the
car and Mary was forced to give up
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth, which she
did not know. The giving up of the
seat was for time enough food for
thought, but she finally burst out with
this question:
Mamma, if we sleep here, and all
those other people sleep where they
are sitting, where is that man going
to sleepY
'That man." and the rest in the car
laughed. The explanation process be-
gan all over again.

Religion in France.

There is no state religion in France,
but the adherenaS of any church or
creed can hold their religious belief
and observe their religious practices.
Under the law promulgated on Dcccm-
Der 8, 1905, the church were scpa-
rated from the state, the adherents
of all creeds were authorized to form
associations for public workship, and

1901, requires religious communities
to be authorized by the state. and no
monastic association can be authorized
without Il special law in each particu
lar case. Before the passing Of that
law there were go recognized associ
