BY HENRY L. FARRELL, NEA and Times Sport Writer CLEVELAND, 0., March 29.—01d Pete Alexander of the Cardinals is one of the real characters in baseball. A great pitcher in his day—and still a great pitcher—he is one of the survivors of the old school of ball players. Alex has a reputation for liking “likker.” He admits it and he does not consider it an act of libel to have it mentioned in the papers. Countless stories have been told about him. the most recent of which concerned his association last year with Flint Rhem. another St. Louis pitcher. Rhem was canned off the

bail club for breaking the training rules and when he was being tried by Magistrate Rickey he gave a unique plea in defense. He said he had sacrificed himself for Alex and that he used to drink Pete's drinks so that Alex would j keep in shape to pitch. Doesn’t Need Help We happened across Pete in the St. Louis training camp at Avon Park. Fla. He was standing against a pilar in the hotel lobby waiting for the dining room to open. ”How about that Rhem story, Alex?” we asked. “That was a laugh, that was,* Alex replied with a real laugh. “As if I ever had to have anyone drink a ball for me. Nobody ever snatched a ball on me. I don’t think Rhem ever said that. I think some of you fellows made that up. “That's what you newspaper fellows do. You think up a funny i story about a stewed ball player and you nang it on me. But I don’t care. l r ou don’t mean any harm and I go right on pitching, don't I? - “I wasn’t stewed in the bull pen that day in the world series when Hornsby called me in. I was half asleep out there when he motioned and because I didn’t get up right away they said I couldn’t get up. I guess I pitched " little when I went in there, didn't I? Not Pink Rats Either “And then there was that story that I told Sothoron once when I was pitching that I couldn’t finish the game because the box was filled with rats and they were stepping on my feet. That must have come out of a joke book and the fellow that found it on old Pete. “I think my record ought to prove that I've taken pretty good care of myself. I’m kind of an old bird and I'm still in there pitching. I’ve seen a lot of young fellows come and go in my time and old Alex is still out there pitching. As long as the boss is satisfied, I am, and you fellows ought to be. “If you fellows are going to make up any funny stories about stewed players this year I wish you would lay off me. Hang them on somebody else. But maybe you can’t find another good-natured guy. Anyway those jokes will go stale on me. They won’t be funny any more. You ought to get some new goat.” SE M I’PR 0 RING B 0 UTS Roy Wallace Has Edge on Burman in Exhibition Go.
