WHITE S0X HERE
FOR FOUR GAMES
Cicotte to HurI for League
Leaders Against Shaw.
Johnson Stops Tigers.
Pitcher Kerr Is Popular
With the White Sox Fans

Dick Kerr, the southpaw mid
get the White Sox accumulated
this year. n the most popular
favOrite that has coined q club
on the south Side. Chicago. in
years.
Comiskey says of him; "He
has everything ball player
ought to have. He does every
thing a ball player ought to do.
He has the goods. 1 consider
him the greatest find we ever
had"
Kid Gleason said: "Kerr has
everything a pitcher ought to
have except three and one-half
inches of height. There he La
shy. A pitcher has to be tall"
That is the old Pop Arson
stuff that Clark Griffith had to
fight for years. Arson never
could see GriR because he
wasn't six feet tall

Cicotte Leads All Hurlers.

Cicotte is way out in front among
the pitchers of Ban Johnson's circuit,
having won every game he has start
ed, twelve in number. The lone de-
feat charged against him was on the
occasion of his relieving a faltering
brother in the closing rounds of a
contest in Cleveland early in the cam
paign. The fact that Shaw Is due
to work the same day as Cicotte is
taken as q good omen by the Ma
tionals. The tricks the stockily built
Sox hurler performs with his much
discussed "shineball" are what render
him so pre-eminently effective. and
it has been demonstrated that Shaw,
with Cicotte to fix the ball up for
him. is wellnigh unhittable. Just
what Cicotte does. or has done for
him by one of his mates, to make
the ball sail" and take queer shoots
is a mooted question. Opposing play
ers will attest that it is doctored in
some manner. although appeals to the
umpires seldom result in one being
thrown out of the game. Shaw, for
one, will assure you special treatment
of some kind is applied to the pellet,
for it acts differently when he is op-
posing Cicotte and using the ball the
Sox hurler manipulates. OF course,
part Of Cieottes success Is due to
knowledge of how to throw the ball,
but. without possessing Cicotte's Sc
cret method of how to hold it. Shaw,
with his tremendous speed. gets fine
results. II Cicotte possessed Jim's
natural physical attributes opposing
batsmen probably would be lucky to
get a foul off him.

in the last three innings. although he
was nicked for a single in each frame,

BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Things should hum at the American
League Park for the next few days.
Headed by Kid Gleason. the old war
horse of the diamond, the White Sox
today open a set of four games and
right off the reel a pitchers battle
of more than ordinary worth is offer
ed with Eddie Cicotte and Jim Shaw
in the leading roles. "Seekott" is the
venerable old gentleman who startled
the base ball world in 1917 by coming
to life after several years of virtual
obscurity and practically pitching the
Sox into an American League title
and the championship of the world.
Slumping sadly last season, the wise
acres had Cicotte rated down and out
for good, but he has fooled 'em all by
again coming back this year with a
grand rush that has carried the Chi
cago club into the leadership in the
pennant hunt. The Yanks and In
dams are making them step lively.
At the present writing the Sox are
just one jump ahead Of their rivals.
The slightest slip means loss of top
position in the pennant race, so the
fans may expect to see some herculean
efforts expended by the visitors to
maintain the advantage they now
hold.

LAWRENCENILLE, VA. April g.
At the last meeting of the Business
Mems Association several movements
were inauGurated for the further ad-
Hancemcnt OF the industrial interests
of Lawrcncevillc and Erusw!ck Coun-
~. Plans were laid for several bet
terments and for bringing here two
or more small industries that arc be-
lieved to be obtainable.
Perhaps the most important out
come of the meeting was the perfect
ing OF plans TO give Lawrcncevillc an
np-to date hotel. In this one respect
the town has Jagged. 1t has good
enough hotel keepers. hut they are
lacking in a suitable building and
modern equipment.
The business men OF the town are
now determined that this trouble shall
no longer exist and tho association
backed by the entire business COM
munity. has appointed n committee to
obtain options on different suitable
sites, and report another meeting
soon to be held, when. no doubt. tho
money will be forthcoming. the lot
purchased and arrangements completed
for the building of "a hotel that shall
be in accord with the towns other
enterprises. The idea now is to delay
this matter longer and to have
the hotel going up before the spring
days have passed away.
