mm WW Black Sox Sellout Shadow Hanging Over Yank Rookie Lake Wales, Fla. UP.) The shadow of baseball a biggest scandal the Black Sox world se ries sellout in 1919 hung over a promising New York Yankee farm hand toiling In the world champions' "kindergarten" wed nesdav. But rookie righthander Al Ci- cotte, the first relative of any of the Cnicaeo Black Sox bribe takers ever to attempt a baseball career, is determined to erase the smudge on the family name. Yankee Manager Casey Sten gel gives this fire-balling nephew of Ed Cicotte, pitcher-ringleader of the sellout to Cincinnati in that famous 1919 series, a fight ing chance to make fans cheer Instead of cringe at the mention of Cicotte "I haven't seen enough of him yet to say definitely," Stengel re marked while watching his lamn hands work out. "But 1 have to say he has the moves. He looks like an experienced pitcner al ready, and we're hopeful " So is Al, a handsome 22-year- old lad with waving black hair. "My uncle Ed never has men tioned anything about that scan dal even though he lives near me on a farm at Farmington," said Redding Slates Big Trap Shoot Redding, Calif. At its first meeting of the year, the Redding Gun club laid plans for the pro graming of the most active year In club history. ' ' , Included on the 1952 agenda Is the American Trapshooters as sociation shoot which has been secured by the Redding club for March 14, 15 and 16 and which will bring to Redding up to 300 top shooters from all parts of the country. Heading up a committee to program this ATA shoot are Otis Ellis, Colby G. Smith and DA T. D. Wyatt. The gun club grounds, which offer one of the most attractive panoramic views in the west, are being groomed and planted to ensure their being in A-l condi tion for the tournament. Al, not at all hesitant about dis cussing the family skeleton. "But he has told me to brush up on my control. And he warns that I should stay on the stra.ght and narrow. I'm aiming to Co both." The elder Cicotte and eight other players, including the late Joe Jackson, were banned from baseball for life by Judge Kene saw Mountain Landij 'hen the stunning news of their world se ries sellout became known after the 1920 season. Ed, a "shine ball" specialist, was one of the greatest pitchers of his era. He posted a 28-13 rec ord in 1917 and a 29-7 mark in 1919. His all-time record, which has since been officially stricken from the record books, was 211-149. fill "Y- ' ' ) y W L 1 Dykes Hopes A's Can Match race Of Late in 1951 West Palm Beach, Fla. U.R) Jimmy Dykes asked his Phila delphia Athletics for only one thing Wednesday to play the same kind of ball all through 1952 that they did for the final six weeks of last season. "If they do," he predicted, "we'll win the American League pennant." The A's won 25 games while losing only 11 during the final six weeks of last season and took special delight in knocking off the clubs who then were bat tling for the pennant the Yan kees, Indians and Red Sox. That gave them a percentage of .694 over that period and Dykes be lieves that mark will be good enough to finish on top in 1952, Big Question Of course, he admitted, it is a question that the club can match that pace this year. "But that finish gave my players a lot of confidence and they proved to themselves that they could knock off the big boys," Dykes said. "And now that they know they can do it. they could go all the way. He didn't, however, predict a pennant for the A's. - STOP' Gl IT THIS EwdSfatce Special For FEBRUARY ONLY!
