was accused for months with play
ing over their heada.'
A study Of the Pirates doings so
far this year eonvinces that they are
playing over their heads"-but the
heads are not their own. They are
playing over the heads OF critics and
rival elubs-playing superlative base
ball.
And they show no signs of slip
ping from the heights they have
gained through their wonderful
work.
Any ball club with a sizeatle lead
like the Pirates now enjoy, plus the
confidence that comes with each new
victory, plus mechanical skill, with
which the Pirate roster is richly en-
dowed, is practically unbeatable in
battle which already is half over.
When a club possessed OF known
staying qualities grabs a big lead
over its rivals, and then has only
one in-and-out club to beat, it's task
is simplifed, For early success
breeds newer fighting spirit and
gives to it an impetus that usually
sweeps it on beyond all opposition.
Misfortune--injury to one of the
stars, suspension. or some unfore-
seen accident--rnay come to the
Pirates and not only halt them in
the forward dash, but toss them back
to defeat. But, with the breaks" of
the game even all around, the safe
plunge now is "Pittsburg to win."
Maranville Stars.
rabbit" Maranville is responsible
ia large measure for the wonder
full game the Pirates have played all
through the year. The peppery.
battling midget supplied to the club
on the field the final ingredient need
ed to lift them from the ordinary to
greatness. And the cheeriness of the
little fellow off the field. his bouyant
good nature, made of the Pirates a
happy harmonious family.
As the season began, there was a
tendancy to underrate the Pirate
youngsters. Barnhart, Bigbee and
Brimm may not have been among the
truly greats q year ago. But in the
time since then they have improved
with companionship of Maranville,
Carey and Robertson, to point
where they are 50 per cent greater
than in 1920. And that's the improve
nent they'll carry along with them
Ill through the year: the added |
power, the added fnesse, which
coupled with the greatness of the
Rabbit of Carey, Robertson.
Cooper, Adams and the others
promise to sweep the Pirates along
rresistibly to the October crest of

3ufaes Trim Miners and Forge Ahead Of Wichita for Lead League
Attorneys Learn to
Pronounce Cic0tte
In Base Ball Trial

Chicago, July l7.-At least one
point has been already settled in the
base ball trial. That Is the proper
way to pronounce the name OF Eddie
Cicotte, former White Sox player
and one Of the defendants.
The matter came up during an ar
gument in court over the confessions
Cicotte, Jackson and Williams made
to the grand jury last fall at the
time of their indictment.
James c. O'Brien, defense attor-
ney in arguing a point, referred to
Eddie Sy-Kott."
Ben Short, another defense attor-
ney, in supporting Mr.. O'Brien, pro-
nounced the former White Sox
pitchers name "Sy-Kotty."
Henry Berger also, of counsel Tor
the defense, chimed in with re-
mark in which he referred to Eddie
Sick-O-ty."
That was too much for the little
pitcher. Arising, he said to Judge
Friend:
II beg your honor's pardon, but
would you please have it entered in
the court record that my name is
Edward V. Cicotte, pronounced
See-Kott, with the accent on the
See.
Let it be so entered" said Judge
Friend to his clerk after the laughter
