EDDIE CIC0TTE HAS
A mystery" BALL
White Sox Pitcher Uncorks Curve
Called "ParaffinC."
when II 10 Being Thrown, Pellet
Takes an Uneven Diseoloration,
but umpires Regard II az
Within Law Of Baseball.

They called II the "shine" ball for
a time, and later It was called the
~''parafline" ball. II appears now that
the ball which Eddie Cicotte has so
completely mastered should be known
as the mystery" ball. Cicotte, or
some other member OF his team Is so
skillful In his massage work on the
pellet that even the umpires are In a
haze about II. Once In a great while
a ball Is thrown out, but most Of them
stay In the game, despite the numer-
Gus protests of opposing players.
There Is nc denying the fact that
Clcotte Is as smart as any other pitch
er in the game, smarter than most Of
them also that he has plenty of nat.
ural ability and probably would be a
consistent winner without the freak
delivery which he alone seems to have
mastered. But II Is likewise true that
when he Is pitching, the ball takes on
an Uneven discoloratIon that can be
noticed In the grandstand. Umpires
examine II, realize that II Is discol-
ored, but regard 1t as within the base
ball law. Last summer Joe Finneran
Of the Yankees used the delivery with
some success but nothing like that of
Cicotte. At Comiskey park the Chi
cage players put up protests against
Finneran, but Billy Evans, who was
umpiring the series. declined to throw
out the ball when Finneran was pitch
ing, since he figured It was no differ
ent than when Cicotte was working.
Finneran's mode OF doctoring the
ball consisted in rubbing parafine into
the "a on n side Of the ball.
BY pressing his glove into the dirt and
rubbing the ball into the palm Of the
glove the dirt entered the seams and
stuck there. thus making the side of
the ball containing the parafilne and
dirt heavier than the other. Without
the parafine the dirt would not hold
but the wax substance kept it in. Fin
neran could make the ball take Pc
culiar gyrations in practice, but he
could not properly control it in a
game.
