THe beeame a hero, just like he does rything else by persistent effort, and the best thing about it is that the litUe unassuming Frenchman won't adait even to him- sef that hé is ah But here in Chieago you can stop even a discussion of Mayor “Biz Bill” Thompson’s latest faux pas by mentioning Cicotte’s name, For to-Cicotte. more than to any other person, is credit given ~ for putting the White Sox way otit on top, from whieh, even ard- ent Boston fans will reluctantly admit,it will be quite some little job to dislodge them. And it is on Wicotte that the White Sox fans depend mainly ’s brilliant Giants, eI like the annual classic Cicotte ean pitch ev- ery other day, and around. Chicago they believe Eddie has just the kind of stulf that MeGraw’s versatile batting staff will not care a gréat deal about. me What is the secret of Cicotte’s suceess? In a good many cities around this league they still tell you it is the shine ball or sajler, whieh is gi him remarkable suceess. Tn Chicago they/declare it’s because ‘She has the stuff.” Cicotte himself believes it is due to hard work and his decade- long study of opposing batters, : ‘It is undoubtedly a combination of the last two with the pos- sibility of the first having something to do with it. icotte undoubtedly ‘has the stuff on the ball.’? Whethet he gets this from the shine ball or not is relatively unimportant now. Around the circuit they say it is impossible for a pitcher to be doing what Cicotte is doing at 35 without some artificial aid. Cieotte and his teammates, naturally aren't talking about the shine ball, es sa Be that as it may Cicotte has won 23 games so far this year, more than any. other American League pitcher and to do that he must have ability whether he uses a shine ball or not. Much of Cicotte’s success is undoubtedly due to. his study of opposing batsmen. There probably has been no pitcher in base- ball with the exception of Mathewson who gave so much of his attention to th: Naturally studious Cicotte seareely ever ‘‘grooves’’ the ball for an opponent, and usually is able by his uncanny control to place it where he knows the batsman is weak. It ndced strange that Cicotte should have his best sea- son after a decade or more of rather unpreposing seasons, ‘but there is nothing meteoric about Eddie and there is no qui that he has beens greatly underrated in the past. In his entire carecr with the Red and White Sox Cicotte has allowed an aver- age of 2.19 earned runs per game, an accomplishment which few of the more brilliant pitehers\in either league has achieved. There is nothing erratic about Eddie, That is, why when his name is announeed to tlie stands Chieago breathes a-sigh of re- lie! s back easily in the seat and says: 4 s all right, Eddie will do it.” ) In a short tally injured by the strain. Officers in charge of these organizations of boys have been provided with special in- structions as to the service that may safely be demanded. A good deal of discretion,in this regard is left to com- manding officers and’drill masters, but after all the purpose is to equip the national youth for soldierly servic€ as rapidly and efficiently as possible. Much lighter requirements, however, are imposed on the youngest class of prospective soldiers.

Games, lectures and educa- tional work are provided in addition to ordinary military training. There are twelve fortnightly periods in the training course for youth of this class. In the first period of two weeki 64 hours of work are required, of which 12 hours are given to games and educational work, After the ‘first pe- riod 14 hours: are set aside: in each fortnightly period for these purposes. Such games as cricket, football and boxing are particularly prized for their effect on the physique of the recruit. Participation in these is compulsory. At the outset every young man is inoculated, vaccinated and given a ithorough dental overhauling. This jlimits the possible activities of many ‘of them during ‘the first six, weeks of their training. After these preliminary |troubles are over, the organizations ‘settle into a regular scheme involving 84 hours’ work per fortnight, or six hours’ work daily, including Sunday. stable and village marshal in the H. progressive organization of the coun- | try’s youth for training in anticipation of the time when they shall-arrive @t- oryjt gets in ench fortnightly period military age. ‘ten hours of general physical training, All over. the country battalions of’ gix hours of bayonet exercises, 18 hours boys, none of them beyond the age of of squad drill, 18 hours of. musketry eightecn years and eight months, are gnq range practice, two hours devoted being systematically trained for the ¢o interior economy, three. hours. on army.
