EDDIE CICOTTEI HOPE OF SOX
TOEND PENNANT RACE TODAY AT
CHICAGO PARK AGAINST BROWNS
Indications Are That the Biggest
Crowd of the Season VIII
See the Combat

Chicago, Sept. 24.-Eddie Cicotte
is slated to pitch against the St
Louis Brown this afternoon at Co
miskey park and every one Of Boss
Gleason's players think the pen
nant race will be over when to-
days game has been finished.
Indications are that one of the
big crowds of the season will be
present, because all the White SoX
need to clinch the flag is one vic
tory or one defeat for Cleveland.
While the Sox are battling st
Louis at the south side CievelaDj
will be fighting Detroit In Detroit'
and if Chicago wins or Cleveland
loses, the flag is clinched for the
Sox.
Hold Council of War.
To prepare for the combat Boss
Gleason of the Sox had all his men
out for work yesterday. He had a
meeting in the clubhouse at noon
time, during which time they heard
a lot Of things about the Cincinnati
Reds. They also heard some things
about the battle today, which is
needed TO cllnch the Victory IN the
American league race.
Cicotte was sent to his homo in
Detroit from Boston after the game
he pitched there more than a week
ago. If the SoX had clinched the
pennant in Boston by winning one
of the two games of last Saturday
Cicotte would have been permitted
to stay at his home for a few more
days. But the Sox lost the dos
BILE header in Boston and they still
need that other game, so Cicotte
has been ordered over to pitch IL.
He arrived last night
Says They'll Cop. Today.
After the skull practice at the
south side clubhouse yesterday
Boss Gleason sent his men upon
the field for a lot of work. He
kept them out there nearly two
hours. There had been no ath-
letic work for them since last Sat
urday. and Gleason sent them
through a regular spring training
stunt After it was over, he stated
that the SoX would win the pen
nant today.

RISBERG Is NOT
WEAK SPOT FOR
SOX, BUT STRONG

Chicago, Sept. 24-Many base
ball fans and experts who are dOp-
ing the worlds series between the
Reds and White Sox have made a
mistake. At least, Boss Bleason oI
the White Sox thinks they have.
With few exceptions, they have re-
ferred to Swede Risberg as the
weak spot of the team. Perhaps
the reason for such doping is be-
cause it's difficult to make Risberg
stand out prominently when he's
playing on the same infield with
Eddie Collins, Buck Weaver and
Chick Gandil, all recognized stars.
However, in doping Risberg's
strength, one isn't fair to him un-
less one considers the work done
in the last month or six weeks.
RiSberg Real Player Now.
81 took Risberg out of the game
down in st. Louis late in the sea-
son." Gleason said yesterday in
talking of the matter. He was out
only a few days and then sent right
back on the job and right there was
where he started. OF course he's
gone along pretty well for thrce
years. but what l mean is that only
in the last month or so has he
come through as great ball
player.
Something happened to him. He
Just seemed all of a sudden to take
hold of the job and do things that
he never did before and now he's
really a wonderful shortstop. l
never saw better defensive playing
than he did in some of the games
on the last trip. One game in par
ticular. the one Walter Johnson
pitched against us in Washington,
was featured by Risberg's playing
and only because of his great de-
Tense, were we able to win it, He
went over behind third and he went
over behind second and got balls
that looked like sure hits. He has
a terrific arm and he's accurate.
I might have had a little fear re-
garding him in a big series two
months ago, but have not any
now. He may be the star of the
show"

WISE UP ON THIS:
NO EXTRA CHARGE
FOR GRANDSTAND

We announced once before that
the price of all games at Douglas
park this season in which the In
dependents are contestants will be
one dollar, including war tax, for
men, and so cents. the same with
regard to tax, for women. These
figures entitle the purchaser to any
place or seat in the park.
Now, some hard-head has started
a rumor floating around to the eff
feet that an extra charge of 35
cents is to be made for grandstand
seats. There is absolutely nothing
to the dope. The man or woman
who pays the one price at the gate
can go in the stand, or bleach ers.
or sit on top of the fence, just as
it pleases each, and no one will
ask them for another contribution.
So get it straight. fans. Cut this
out if necessary for a reminder
and shove it under the noses of
those guys who would tell you
different. The one who continues
to persist is the squawker of
squawkers.
The rumor probably gained Gre
dence because of the fact that the
playing field was laid out east and
west in close proximity to the
grandstand. This new arrangement
was conceived as a means of bet
ter caring for a huge crowd and
giving everyone in the stands a
chance to view the games at close
range. 1t is strictly an accommo-
dalton for the supporters of the
team.
Regarding the increase that is to
be charged for this seasons games,
it is interesting to note that every
other aggregation of reputation in
this section charges all the way
from one to two dollars. and war
tax is an extra assessment

BETWEEf

Sport Editor of The Argus
Dear Sir: 1 noticed in your paper
couple of weeks ago where the
management of the Independents
had booked three games with the
ID. A. c. club and two with the
fans association of Moline.
With the team that the Independ-
ents will have. it simply will mean
that they will have to lay down in
order to have any kind Of a game
at all, let alone five local games.
And at a dollar a game, l hon
estly don't believe the fans will
stand for it. Why not bring some
really good teams here, like the
Cincinnati Celts or the Hammond
team. and pack the park? They
aren't any further than Minneapo-
lis, and remember the crowd that
was out on the days the Marines
played here.
Rock Island may never again
have a team like it is going to have
this year, and if the town is going
to get any advertising out of it,
some really good teams that have
reputation must be brought here.
(Signed) A FAN
me ABOVE lGILeT was EeEelN Gu
by this department yesterday. We
are sorry the writer didn't sign
his name so that due credit could
have been given him. 1t expresses
our sentiments exactly. We think
that it expresses the sentiments of
the great majority of real fans.
like this man has shown himself
to be.
We showed the letter to Mana
ger Walter Flanagan 1t conceded
with his view exactly. That was
one of the reasons he called off
negotiations for the only contest
that had been talked of with Mo-
line. They beat around the bush
too long, and Flanagan followed
the only logical course, that Of go
ing after another team which he
has ample assurance is much
stronger.
We would call the attention Of
this fan to the fact that only a few
weeks ago things looked mighty
dark for a good football team. 1t

CUBS CLINCH
Third PLACE
MftchelIs Assured Of Part of Series
Coin by Victory in First Game
Yesterday.

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept 24.-Those
Cubs clinched third place by spank
ing the Cardinals, to 5, in the first
half of yesterdays bargain bill, and
thenturned around and tossed the
second half away, 6 to 2.
Speed Martin and Jim Vaughn
toiled in the opener to make Ger
tain that they and their pals would
collect the $500 per head forthcom-
ing from the world series pool.
Hendrix was the loser in the sec
ond game. The bargain tilt marked
the final appearance Of the Cubs
here this year.
Hop on Martins Stuff.
The Cards rendered Martin a
rousing reception in the opening
session of the first battle, singles
by Schultz, Stock and Horribly pro-
ducing a one run margin for the
notcholders. Speed then settled
and held the enemy for six score
less rounds, while yielding four
hits. Speed experienced some grief
in the eighth and Vaughan arrived
on the sceen in the ninth Just when
the Cards were preparing to spring
rally and Immediately throttled

was a general belief about town
that the Independents could not
! hope to come back. And then the
results of Flanigan's efforts start
ed to bear fruit First, Ursella ar
rived, and after him other star
players began to assemble. and
now Rock Island is conceded the
best of the coming arguments on
all sides.
Taking all this into considera-
ton. the fans should rest content
ed that great teams will be brought
here. In fact. We know what is go
ing on in this respect and can state
in positive manner that the senti-
ment expressed in the letter has
and is receiving attention. Rela-
tive to a third game with Daven-
port, it is hardly a remote posi-
