Soldiers in France
Are Betting on Giants

Field Headquarters of the Amer
lean Army in France, Oct. 1o-The
soldiers are singuIarly apathetic re-
garding the outcome of the worlds
series baseball games being played
in Chicago and New York. Possi-
bly, this is because they are en-
crossed in the more serious BUSH
ness of war. ?. This is particularly
true of the coptingents that have
been longest in France.
Who won the first gamer" asked
several regulars. And then: "Well,
thought Cicotte would get it."
The detailed account of the first
game reached the camps Sunday
night in the Paris edition. of the
london Daily Mail ', The account
gave New York's side of the game
play by play and then Chicgao's
side. This was a very perplexing
way to describe baseball game
for the Americans.
There has been little betting,
most of the wagers being made at
even money. There seems to be
more supporters of the Giants than
of the White Sox. Few of the men
save those hailing from Chicago
are backing the Sox. 1

see the stitches on the ball Yet it
takes a sudden and very deceptive
drop Immediately in front of the
plate. Giant players agree they saw
nothing in their close scrutiny of CT
cote that would cause them to be-
|ieve he was using any substance on
the ball.
Cicotte is what is known as a
'4brainy'' pitcher. Christy Mathewson,
when he was in his prime, once re-
marked that pitcher didn't need
much of a curve or much speed If he
would pitch more with his head than
with his arm. For several seasons be-
fore Matty finally was appointed man
ager of the Cincinnati Reds and gave
up curveology he had nothing COM
pared with what other pitchers were
putting on the ball. But Matty al
ways had his head. He made a study
of opposing batters. He knew their
weaknesses and he pitched to their
weaknesses. His excellent control was
his chief asset. And he was a win
ming pitcher.
! The star of the White Sox is much
the same in this respect He uses his
head. He crosses the batter By
that is meant when the batter figures
he is going to. pitch a curve Cicotte
thows a fast one. When the batter is
looking for the knuckle ball Cicotte
throws either a fast one or curve
That he has plenty Of "stuff" was
proven by the way the Giants were
popping 'em up. Fourteen pop flies
of fouls figured in the efforts of the
Giants to solve Eddie's delivery
To throw the knuckle ball the pitcher
holds the ball between his thumb and
the knuckles of the middle and third
fingers, with the index finger placed
on top of the ball to steady it. When
the ball is delivered the Index finger
is raised and the ball delivered with
more of d shot putting motion than
throwing motion. It is really showed
toward the batter.

LEXINGTON EVENT

Lexington. KY, Oct. 10 = At the
Grand Circuit meeting here yesterday
the $4,000 Dinner Stakes went to Miss
Bertha Dillon in straight heats. The
2:03 trot was won by Bascelli after
the record for a six-heat race, made
last week by Lima Jay in the Tran

also took six hard heats before Helen
Chimes was proclaimed winner, and
the $4,000 Cumberland pace went to

The 2:0S trot came first on the card.
The vetran Ross B. won the first two
heats in 2:05A and 2:05k, and then
Murphy won a heat with Peter Che

in the first two heats stepped up into
second place in the third round and
was a close second to Peter Chenault.
Bacelli then won the final three heats
without being fully extended. The
six heats constitute a new world
record for a six-heat race.

SHINE BALL REAL
MYTH DECLARES
NEW YORK SCRIBE

New York. Oct. 10.-There is no
'sshine ball. 1t is myth. Never
was a pitcher watched more closely
than was Eddie Cieotte in the first
game of the world series. He was
credited with being the originator of
the so-called> t"shine ball. Every
move that he made while on the
mound was carefully studied by the
Giants and if Cicotee uses any foreign
substance on the ball to aid him in
his pitching he successfully shielded
1t from detection.
| The Giants were waiting for any
move Cicotte might make that would
lead to the belief or furnish founda-
ton for the supposition that he was
using a soap or wax substance on the
ball to make it do thingsv on it's way
to the plate. There was none. He
rubs the ball on his trousers. much
the same as many pitchers have been
wont to do before, but there was no
indication that he employed anything
but natural ability to hold the Giant
batters in check.
Cicotte employs nothing but a puz-
zling change of pace mixed with a
sharp breaking curve and knuckle
baH-a style of delivery that was in
|troduced some years ago with pro-
nounced success by Eddie Summers
then pitching for the Detroit Tigers.
/ In many respects this knuckle ball
acts much the same at sMatty's famed
fadeaway. 1t is a member of the
drop" family. The difference be
tween Mattys fadeaway and the
knuckle ball is that, whereas the fade
away revolved in its fight to the
plate. the revolutions of the knuckle
ball are So slow that fha halter. 20 >,

SCALPERS BENEFIT
AS RAIN CAUSES
FANS TO DEPART

New York, Oct. 10-Despite the fact
club took every precaution to keep
tickets out of the hands of the specu-
lators the rain that prevented yester-
days game, neutraliZed the efforts of
the club officials. Previous to the call
ing off of the game scheduled for yes
terday thousands of ticket holders en-
tered the grounds and waited there
until the commission decided to post
pone the contest.
AS the crowds filed out of the gates
they were met by battalions of scalp
ers, who offered to purchase their tick
cts at a tidy advance over the original
price. In substance, the scalpers Of
fered the holders of grand stand tick
cts, which the club sold at 81, as high
as SIS, and the spectators did rush
ing business, as thousands of those
who had planned to see a game yes
terday had other arrangements for to-
day and were glad to get rid of their
holdings at an advance over what they
paid for them.
Therefore the rain not only inter
fered with the players and the public
but played right into the hands. of the
spectators. The result was that the
spectators will be on the job today
with thousands of 81 tickets which
they bought at IS each and were will
ing to sell to purchasers for $12 to ST
each.
Sets of tickets, two in number, tn,

ed as high as $40 and $50 along

Riding Of Heinie !.
Zimmerman Was
Bad Spotsmanship

: New York, Oct 1o-The riding of
Zimmerman in Chicago, which un-
questionably prevented Heinie from
showing at his hest, was the only I'M
pleasant feature of the series SO far,
and does not speak highly for Chi
Cages sense of fair play. The boot
ing and kissing of Zimmerman did not
come entirely from the bleachers. The
entire grand stand was in on it.
There is no more reason why Chi
cago should boo Zimmerman than
for New York fans to mete out the
same kind of treatment to Hal Chase.
yet Chase gets as much applause as
any visiting player who comes to the
Polo Grounds. Hal Chase certainly
did not play the game he was capa-
BILE of in 1912 and 1918, when VOL
verton and Chance led the Yankees.
He covered about one-third of the
ground that he has covered for the
Reds during the past two seasons.
His play was such that the Yankees
were forced to trade him, and got a
bunch of junk-Zeider and Borton.
Last year Zimmerman played about
the same kind of ball in Chicago that
Chase showed when he was last with
the New York Americans. Eventually
then almost all in, and a pair OF
youngsters who never amounted to
anything. 1t is natural Chicago
should not be any too fond of Zim-
norman, but it has no more reason
to be vindictive than New York has
toward Chase. In the case of Chase
local fans were willing to forgive and
forgt and remember Chase for what
he had done for the Yankees, not for
what he failed to do.

and won the title. The Mailer" has
the unenviable distinction of having
been the first faleer in ring history
and, considering the date when he
fought, one is convinced that taking
made its appearance very early in the
game. Soon after winning the title
Stevens was paid a large sum by sew
Teral CANDLES to quit in a fight with
George Meggs. The fraud was dis
covered, and neither men could get
any more fights. Bill Darts, the next

then claimed the title, but was whipped

the powerful Annex. team, although
the scores of each battle We're small.
The New Haven club went
thrugh its schedule without the los:

were landed on top-heavy scores.
