STARS IN WORLDS SERIES
WHO EXPECT TO FIGURE;
THEIR BASEBALL CAREER
BY w. r.. HoEFER

Thirteen years ago an under
\sized twenty-year-old kid pitch
ed his first game of professional
ball for Calumet, Mich. He had
unlimited nerve, a bush league
wind-up and freak delivery.
He copped this first start, al
lowing six hits and tanning
eleven batters.
This youngster was Eddie Ci-
cote and the freak delivery was
the afterward famous kunckle-
ball.
To-day, thirteen years later,
this same right handler is the
most discussed twirler in the
game. He is still using n freak
delivery but the scribes and bugs
call it the shine" ball and the
sailor" Eddie is the ace of
the Chicago White Sox hurting
staff and the hope of the south
side fans on the brink OF what
promises to be the most hectic
world series ever staged.
In 1904, when a kid, Ed was
advised to quit the game and try
driving n wagon or something.
They said he was too small to be
a successful pitcher Che weighs
less than $50 lhs.).
Eight years later the Boston
Red Sox let him go and baseball
men said he was through, with
a dead soup-bone and the end
of his big league career in sight.
Now, in 1917, we find him cop
ping over twenty-five games at
thirty-three years of age and the
leading gunner of his league!
Shine ball" Eddie was born
in Detroit, Mich, June 10, 1884,
of French extraction. He began
playing ball in the grammar
schools, starting as an infielder.
His minor league experience was
gained with Calumet of the
Northern Copper League; Au-
gusta, South Atlantic League;
Indianapolis, American Associa-
ton, and Des Moines and Lin
coin, of the Western League.
The Boston Americans snagged
him in 1908 and he pitched for
the bean-eating crew until 1912,
when Chicago bought him.
Eddie had an earned run av-
erage of 5.S8 with Augusta in
1905 and allowed only Isl
earned runs per game with Chi
cago in 1913.
In build he is -stocky, being
five feet nine inches tall and
weighing about ITO lbs; he is a
pleasant hammered, good look
ing chap and packs a wise old
noodle under his cap. His craft
and ingenuity have kept him in
the Big Top when according to
all dope and precedent he ought
to be in the baseball boneyard.
without doubt Cicotte is the
biggest single factor in coping
this years flag for Chicago and
is one of the most remarkable
pitchers of all time.
d Cicotte the more experienced
pitcher in the game. Cicotte !

The worlds record for effec-
tive pitching is held by a left
handler who looks like a prep
school kid and acts like a sea-
soned veteran in the pinches. He
has one of the best fast balls
that ever busted over the plate,
superb control, which it took
three years to acquire, and a
record of allowing only 80 earn
ed runs in 14O innings of big
league pitching.
His name is Schupp.
He was a big factor in winning
the pennant for the Giants this
year and a great aid in their
worlds record of 26 straight
wins. If past performances or
dope indicate anything at all,
this nervy sensational left hand
er of McGraw's ought to make
worlds series history when the
Giants and White Sox tear into
each other in the big scrap.
Schupp is good example of
what persistency can do for
player. Up to two years ago his
big fault was wildness. In the
first game he ever pitched for
money he gave eight passes. This
was in Louisville as a semipro.
= In 1912, in 365 innings with De-
catur, he gave 14S passes. Last
year, through sheer persistency,
he acquired such good control
that he gave only 81 passes all
season in 140 innings.
Ferd was born in Louisville,
KY, January IS, 1892. He learn
cd the game in his home town
and first attracted attention as q
pitcher when he played semi
pro ball there. At that time,
in spite of all his wildness, the
amount of sheer stuff he toted
attracted attention and the Gin
c1nna1 Reds got him but released
MIN without even seeing him.
Decatur of the Three l League
gave him his first real taste of
pro" baseball and he won 22
games for them when only 90
years old.
The Giants signed Schupp in
1913 and kept him on the bench
in the McGraw school of bench
pdublbCio uulll IJIOt When feTu
pitched 55 innings and proved as
wild as a hawk. Last year, how
ever, this young southerner
suddenly blazed forth in sensa-
tional style and set a worlds
record for scoreless twirling.
Series fans who have never
seen Schupp will get surprise.
He's the youngest looking twir-
in hn
nearly as formidable as his rec
ord.
He is brilliant, nervy, cool, is
never bothered when being hit
and holds runners to first base
better than any pitcher in his
league.
Schupp is the more brilliant
Schupp has as much STUFF as g
one of the foxiest, cagiest boxmen

Adolph Schrech. of this city, has re-
ceived letter from relatives in Ger
many telling him that at the close of
the war they are coming to America
to live. The letter was written before
this country entered the war, and was
greatly delayed in transit.

and De Palma. as this pair gradually
drew away from the other sixteen

lap in consequence. His time was
56.1S.40.
Dario Resta, the 1915 and 1916

ll9 miles an hour in practice dur
ing the week, was forced out of the

bic with some of the cars.
