Chicago, June Ed Cicotte, the
White Sox veteran tWirling star, has
invented a new freak delivery that
has most of the American league bat
ters in state of mild panic. Cicotte's
new ball behaves exactly as did the
tabooed emery ball and yet he has
shown it to be legal and an infraction
of none of the rules.
For some while opposing batters,
peeved at their inability to do much
with Cicotte's new one, have COM
planned to their managers that
Cicotte was using the illegal emery
ball or something else just as bad.
The ball approached the batter in as
deceitful way as the emery ball
and others that have been barred.
Clark Griffith, the Washington SEN
ators' boss, certain that Cicotte was
using the emery ball or a similar
trick, sent a ball that Cicotte had
used to Ban Johnson for examina-
tion. After looking into the thing
Johnson disallowed Grifflth's claim.
Billy Evans, the umpire, and one
of the best critics of the game, has
explained how Cicotte works his new
one. "Cicctte is working on a theory
exactly opposite tn that Of the emery
ball." says Evans. HE vets a spot
on his shirt and on this he rubs the
ball till spot of its surface is very

aluminium is also used in the body;
rear axle housing, transmission case
and cover, spring seats and many
other parts. AS the aluminium alloy
used in the construction of the engine
weighs but two-thirds as much as
cast iron, the power plant completely
assembled tips the scales at only 490
pounds. ..' " a
Instead Of attempting to increase
horsepower, Chevrolet has worked to
bring down the load that the engine
has to propel and his featherweight
Frontenacs are the result. Another
unique feature of this car is that the
bodies are sealed from the fly wheels
back, and that the rear axles are en-
closed in the tails Of the cars, giving
a perfect stream-line to get away
from wind resistance and prevent the
air from backing up in the tail. On
each car an oil tank is mounted in
front Of the dash, and the air that
comes through the radiator passes
over this tank and through vents or
down over the crank case. This helps
to keep the oil cool and the free pas
sage of air also permits the use of a
radiator half the usual size.
Another faVorite at Chicago will be
Ralph De Palma with his Packard,
which ran into hard luck in Cincin-
natl, splinter from the track pierc-
ing the radiator. when it looked as if
De Palma had an excellent chance to
dispute honors with the Chevrolets.

Chicago, June 9.-Ty Cobb is back

jumped from seventh to third place in
the list of American league batters.
His average is 335. Iris Speaker is
out in front with 365.
Cobb piled up thirty points in his
last seven games, getting five hits
two triples, a dauble, and a pair OF
singles-in one contest. He has driv-
en- out fifty-thre hits in forty-three
games. Chapman of Cleveland in
creased his lead as the premier sacri-
flee hitter and base stealer, having
thirty sacrifice hits to his credit and
fifteen thefts. Roth, also of Cleveland,
is pressing him with fourteen stolen
bases. . s.
Weaver Of Chicago is keeping his
pace in runs scored, having thirty
one, while Young, of Detroit, and
Hooper of Boston are close up with
twenty eight each. Pipp of New York
still is in possession of home run
honors with three. Boston leads in
team batting with an average of 24l.
The averages include games of last
Wednesday.

Chicago, June 9.-Chicagos third
annual auto derby to be run on the
Speedway on June 16 probably will
have the largest field of starters in the
history of this classic. Twenty-Five
nominations already have been re-
ceived and 1t Is probable there will
be forty or more before the entries
close.
AS the result of his victory at Gin
cinnati on Decoration day, when he
drove his lightweight Frontenac car
$50 miles at an average Of 1928 miles
an hour and without a stop, Louis
Chevrolet is regarded by many to
have an excellent chance to carry off
the big slice of the $21,000 purse.
Chevrolets younger brother, CASTOR,
who finished right on the heels of the
winner at Cincinnati, is also consid-
cred likely bet.
Those who pick the Chevrolets to
carry of a big share of the honors
are basing their predictions upon the
unique construction of the F'rontenac
cars, which they drive, as much as
upon the skill and daring of the driv-
ers. These cars when empty weigh
only 1880 pounds, being constructed
largely of aluminium alloy. Even the
engine is almost entirely Of this light
weight metal, including cylinder
blocks, crank case, pistons, timing
gear housing, rocker arm housing, fly
wheel, clutch, intake manifold and
starting crank.

smooth and white. All the rest Of the
ball is rough and soiled and when
Cicotte grips it he gets more purchase
on one side than on the other and the
result is much the same as the emery
ball. The bright white spot on the
ball also helps to deceive the batter
when the ball is on it's way to the
plate. Cicottes new one is great
fooler, but there's nothing illegal about
it."
Cicotte has pitched four shut
already this season and has been
pitching the greatest ball of his ca
reer. This is especially remarkable
as he is the oldest pitcher in the
league, saving Eddie Plank, and has
been in fast company since 1908. He
was tried out by Detroit in 1905, but
failed to make good till he Joined the
Boston Red Sox three seasons later
In 1912 the White Sox took him via
waivers. He is the teams star
twirler today and one of the best in
either league. He weighs fifteen
pounds more today than he did last
season and has more speed than
ever before, and his control, though
always good, is now well nigh per-
feet. On the whole, Cicotte's work
this season makes him one of the
most interesting figures the game has
seen in seasons.

What the War Has Cost Thus Far.

Popular Science Monthly: On Feb. 1,
last, the various governments at war
had spent something like seventy -orle
billion, seven hundred and, forty million
dollars. How much money is this? Can
we comprehend it? If it were distri-
buted equally among all the inhabitants
OF the globe, from the Eskimo in his
frozen igloo, to the African bushman
in his grass hovel, there would be
forty -four dollars to givesto every man,
woman and child. The worlds popula-

fifty cents mile for the trip, and have
