  u p a N ID DO w N S p 0 r r S r r E. E. T CICOTTE TO PITCH THREE. The Chicago White Sox expect Eddie Cicotte, the veteran .hur1er, to win at least three games against the Giants. They figure he will pitch the first contest and the day of idleness while the clubs are travelling. back to New York will give him a chance to twirl the opener in New York. Then he can probably come back in the fifth or sixth game, if there is one. Cicotte is bear for work and Man ager Rowland says his star never has any bad days. The winning of the pennant has been a vindication for Rowland, who was considered a joke by many Chi cago fans and writer’s. Rowland is well liked by his players and has brought this good feeling about by diplomatic handling of the men. He is a great boy for patting the players on the back and getting them to work in harmony. This method in COM bination with the aggressive tactics insti1led by Kid Gleason, the veteran coach, has given the White Sox the proper mixture to down the enemy. Connie Lewis will take his troupe of trained bow1ers to New Haven tomorrow night to play the Algonquin Alley team. This is league game and as . no Park City team has appeared in New Haven in the past five years the fans in that city are preparing to pledge the family jewels on their team. Tony the .Bootblaek will lay a sentimental wager on Bridgeport. The University of Pittsburgh lost | most Of it’s football stars this year and had hard work winning the opening game of the season last Saturday by | beating West Virginia Il to 9. 1t is I said that West Virginia has two of the | best backfie1d men in the country in | Rodgers and King. This eleven held | Dartmouth to z to Z tie last season | incidentally it looks as if Brown will have another great team as the Prov | dence boys beat Rhode Island State | by 27 to 0 on Saturday, an increase Of nine points over last years score. | Chic Swanson, former. member OF the Annex football eleven of New Ha, ven, will enter Boston college and play on the football team. Charley Brick ley, the old Harvard star, is a coach d | Boston and it is said he secured Swan. son a free scholarship. The fact thai Swanson is a professional doesn’t ap parent1y count in Boston. The New Haven Journa1-Copriel says, Nov they’re handing out the information that Eddie Cicotte’s shine ball is nonsense. So was Steve Brodie’‘ hop off the Brooklyn. Bridge but HI didn’t lose anything by it, i Harry Weaver. the New Haven pit cher bought by the Chicago Cubs, wa beaten by the Braves last Saturday His work has made aehit with Man lager Mitchell, though, and he Is sure of a thorough tryout next season.
