^CICOTTE DEVELOPED
" INTO HURLING STAR
Secured by Chicago White Sox
at Waiver Price.
Stocky Frenchman Did Not Amount
to Much While With Red Sox— '
Studied Hard Hitters of League
in Spare Moments.
The Boston Red Sox, taking stock
?n. 1912, decided that Pitcher Eddie
Cicotte was of no further use to. them.
Eddie, therefore, was put on the mar
ket. Nobody got hurt in a scramble
for his services, and finally the Chicago
Americans took him at the waiver
price. Nobody shouted “Cheap at half
the price!” They figured the Sox grab
bed a hurler for batting practice.
They figured thusly because Cicotte
^ad been sort of an in-and-outer in
his five years with the Boston team,
and it wasn’t likely that he would ever
improve much. The climate of the
Windy City, or the sting of being cast
aside, must have had an influence on
the stocky Frenchman.
He went along smoothly enough af
ter landing at Chicago. But wise Ed
die was doing more than time with
the Sox. He studied the batters in
his spare moments, invented new stuff,
perfected his control and bettered
himself in every respect.
Then he blossomed out. Starting in
1916, he began to burn up the league,
not with speed, but with his great
Eddie Cicotte.
“eoweback.” He gained widespread
fame as the “shine ball” artist. Bat
ters seemed unable to fathom his new
freak delivery. Cicotte was largely
responsible for the world’s series title
going to the White Sox In 1917, and
was mostly the cause of keeping the
Sox in front last year.

Womanly Charm
and Laundry Service
Nature intended that woman
| should have charm and at
tractiveness of person. The
preservation of that charm has
been a duty of woman ever
| since Eve first saw herself
mirrored in a forest pool.
1 But perhaps the connection
between our laundry service
] and your personal appearance
hasn’t occurred to you. Never
j theless, there is a connection
1 and a close one.
s
We offer you freedom from
1 the household task that from
5
time immemorial has coars
ened the hands and robbed
I woman of her bloom—the
I family washing.
If you would protect your
self from washday exposure
these winter days; if you would
| add to your own comeliness;
g—i———— ■ i ■ ■ .
if you would have your family
washing done in the most
modem fashion, telephone us.
We will do your family §
washing in the softest of pure
waters, and in foamy, billowy
suds of flaked soap. It is a
washing that restores newness
to your clothes and to the
children’s. It sterilizes them, 1
too.
Then we iron everything
for you—giving to everything
a most dainty finish. You will
find the cost very moderate.
You simply give your bundle
to our driver—and we return
it immaculate at a definite
time each week. It is the 1
modem way of preserving
personal charm and ending
winter washdays.
Call us up. I
