EDDIE CICOTTE.
Indianapolis fans generally recall that Grover Cleveland Alexander—now Alex the Great—was unable to gain a berth of 1 as an Indian a few years back, but it takes a real dyed-ln-the-wool bug to remember that Eddie Cicotte, knuckle ball king, with the Chicago White Sox, who celebrated his tenth start as a major leaguer by pitching a no-hlt game against the St. Louis Browns last Saturday, met a similar fate In Indiana-
polis back In I9CMS.
Cicotte came to the Indianapolis club from Detroit, the Tiger# having taken him as a recruit from the ..copper mining district of Michigan. He was taken
runs in which
men Were out, Reilly started with a single, and three passes In a row forced him home. An error by Gerber on Wlckland’s grounder scored another, and Bronkle’s single scored tiro more.

“The knuckle ball." says Cicotte in the May Issue or the Baseball Masastne, “differs from such a ball as Mathewson s fadeaway, in that It Is not really a slow ball. You can throw it with considerable speed and get good results, and I would say that the best results are obtained with a moderate degree of speed.

WEATHER MAN THREATENS TO INTERFERE—MpRE THAN 8,000 FANS EXPECTED.
TOLEDO, April 17.-The skies were overcast and a light rain began falling just before noon, making conditions for the opening of the American Association season in this city anything
but promising.
Manager Jack Hendricks and his wracking crew of Indians arrived early this morning and spent the time In the lobby of the Boody house viewing the
prospects. > .
.Manager Bresnahan said there would be a game unless a cloudburst came before 3 o’clock this afternoon. Bresnahan, while somewhat downcast over the showing of the Toledo team in the first road trip, says he still has confidence In his pitching staff and others. He says Indianapolis looks much stronger than Clymer’s men, just as they did last season. Both teams have strnegthened ma-
terially this year, he sayjs.
Expect Eight Thousand Fans. Advance sale for the opening of the

ROAD RACING BEST ATHLETIC PREPARATION FOR WAR-A. A. U.
NEW YORK, April 17.—Road racing is recommended by Frederick W. Rubien, secretary-treasurer of the Amateur Athletic Union and president of the Metropolitan Association, as the best athletic preparation for war. The 157 clubs of the union in this district received from him today a letter announcing that the Metropolitan Association will promote this form of athletics by arranging to have the public make use of the equipment, coaching and training facilities of its many clubs and by Inviting them to take part in runs every evening. The letter says that Instead of discontinuing athletic activities at this time, certain kinds should be encouraged more than ever, and that athletic, medical and military athuorities agree that the best way to condition a man Is to have him take up running out of doors. ; . •

Nap Rucker, when he lost his speed, fell back on the knuckle ball and found it a valuable aid to him In his declining years. One or two other pitchers have found It gave good results. But I believe I am the only one who uses
it regularly.
*T experimented with this delivery when I started to pitch professional ball; I don’t rightly remember how I came by it. I guess It was natural to me. But for some years I found difficalty In getting control. It was after I went to Boston that I began to master
the delivery.’’
At Chicago, Cicotte has been a steady winner. His comparatively slight build has prevented him from equaling Johnson or Alexander in number of games pitched, but the quality of his work is above reproach. Last season he stood second In th* list of American League pitchers In point of effectiveness, allowing only 1.78 earned runs a game His winning percentage was even more impressive as he won seventeen games and lost but seven for a grand average of .706. Only one regular pitcher surpassed this mark.

This sign says: “Here is a garage man or supply dealer who knows gears and bearings wear in spite of plain oil or grease. He won’t force Dixon’s on you, but ho is prepared to sell 100 per cent, lubrication if you want that kind.” Ask him what Dixon's selected flake graphite adds to lubrication.
’Way in Front for 8 Years
It was in 1909 that Fatimas nosed their way to the front and became the fastest-selling cigarette costing over 10c. And, except in one or two localities, Fatima’s big lead is increasing faster today than ever—in spite of the big sales of cheaper cigarettes, packed to imitate Fatima. Of course, Fatima’s remarkable sales do not make Fatimas taste any better
—in fact, no cigarette can just suit every man’s personal taste. But it proves that MOST men find that Fatimas keep their promises—that Fatimas do taste good and are comfortable while you are smoking and that aftep y ou they leave you feeling just as fine as before. Yes, Fatimas are sensible—and some day you’ll become a Fatima smoker. Jofacco Or.
