Chicago Sept 14It took Eddie Ccotte vars and ars to

they have scarcely been heard of before
But with Cicoe He became hero just like he does
everything else by persistent effort and the best thing about

SET that he is hero.
But here in Chicago you stop discussion of Mayor

For Ccottc than other credit given

et Boston fans will reluctantly admt will be quite little

And it is on Gicoc that the White Sox fans depend mainly
to crush McGraw brilliant Giants.
In short scri like the annual classic Ccotte pitch

the kind Of stuff that McGraws versatile batting staff will not
great deal about. ~
What is the secret of Cicotte's success?
In good many cities around this league they still tell
is the shine ball saer which giving him remarkable success
In Chicago they declare it s because 'hc has the stuff
Ccottc himself believes due to hard work and his decade
long study of opposing baters.
1t undoubtedly combination Of the last two with the pos
sibity of the first having something to do with it.
Ccotte undoubtedly "has the stuff the BALL. Whether
he gets this from the shine ball or not is relatively mportant
Around the circuit they say it impossible for pitcher

Be that may Ccotte has % games far this
than other American League pitcher and to do that he
must have ability whether he shine ball or not
Much Of Cicoes undoubtedly due to his study Of
opposing batse There probably has been pitcher in base
ball with the exception Of Matewson who much Of his

Naturally studious ccotte scarcely grooves the ball
for opponent and usually able by his uncany control to
place it where he knows the batsman is weak.
1t is indeed strange that Ccotte should have his best
after decade OF rather reposng seasons put
there nothing meeoric about Eddie and there question
that he has BEEN greatly moderated in the past In his entire
with the Red and White sox Cicoe has allowed an aver
of 2l9 earned accomplishment which few
of the more brilliant pchcrsn either league has achieved
There nothing cratic about Eddie That is why when his

lief, sits back easily in the seat and says
I cts all right Eddie will do it,
