It begins to look now as if the Cubs

had lost on their gamble with Grover Alexander who, with his battery mate, Killifer, was purchased from the

Phillies at a fabulous price, no almost a certainty now that Alexander will be in the army before many weeks have done a brodie. on the office calendar. The. big pitcher is in Class I and is among the first twelve or so In his district. The only thing remaining to be done is to send him a formal notice to appear for examination. Being physically fit in every respect, he is certain to be accepted. President Weeghman realized the chances he was taking when he purchased Alexander. With the big pitcher on his team the Cuba immediately loomed up as pennant contend-

Y ester day s Games

ers. Without Kim their chances . of making a successful fight vero very irinnmv. So Weeahman decided to flip

a coin with the government and the government won. So far as recovering the money invested in his purchase wna rnncimid the Chicago magnate

was taking no chances at all. It wa3 a sure thing gamble.- t The chances are he would have got it all back and more the very first season. It has been proven time and again that no

price is too high ror a piayer wno ia

really a high-class star. The Cleveland Indians paid something lik-

$55,000 for Trls Speaker and got it au back in one year, despite the tact that the Ohloans at the time were a second division outfit. Someone once asked Miner Brown, the old Cub pitcher, if he played golf. AndTMiner replied;

"No, I try to improve my idle moments," - Clarence Kraft the first baseman who plunged the baseball world into a "p!ayers strike" several seasons ago, U now a member of the Fort Worth team of the Texas league. The south isn't new to Clarence, as it was in the Southern league that he first attracted attention as an infielder and hitter. Kraft spent last year with" the championship Wlikesbarre organisation. It seems to us that this bird Mule "Watson of the Cardinals Js most properly named. Last season he was the most erratic player on that team and

this season he started off by reporting a full two weeks late. ;

The ClevelandS; are ;- playing Kavanaugh at first base and Getz at third, with encouraging results. Hollocher, the Cubs', new shortstop,

leads the batting order. Already he has received columns of praise in the Chicago papers. ' Fielder Jones is ' sending the St Louis Browns to the bat in this order: Tobin, rf.r MaiseL 3b; Sisler, lb; Deuimitt cf; Gedeon. 2b; Smith, If; Johnson, es; Nunamaker and Severeid, c. Suggestion to baseball writers: Why not be original and refer to the home team as "going over the top" when it wins a game? It is estimated that only 16,547,890,127 peanuts were consumed at. the opening baseball games this season, thus proving beyond a doubt that the game is on its last legs. The news dispatches say fifteen wrestlers have won war crosses. The emblem of the double cross, no doubt.
