OF 90 games, not including postponed con-
tests, in St. Louis AT the end of the sea-

Somebody asked Pitcher Alexander OF
the Philadelphia Nationals the other DAY
to explain the secret of his wonderful
success this year. and this was his sensi-
BILE reply:
II study the weakness of a batsman
and try to place the ball where he can
hit it. There isn't much difference be-
tween the majors and the minors except
that you receive better fielding support in
fast company, and that always eneour-
ages a pitcher.
II haven't tried to experiment with any
my sterious shoot. and never will. I rely
on my side arm curve great deal when
in tight places, and continually change my
pace. I've been playing professional bail
only three years, and the thought that
some day I'd be in the National League
never entered my mind until was bought
from Syracuse. / never abuse my health.
keep in good trim, and like TO pitch when
ever called upon.
II don't believe in a pitcher trying to
master too many curves. All / have Is a.
side arm curve, an overland inshoot and
hop to my fast ball. BY controlling them
as well as possible and keeping cool I've
succeeded better than / ever dreamed I
would"

BARROW DENIES REPORT.
Says There Will Be no Changes in
League Circuit.

NEW YORK. July 12.-President Ed
ward Barrow of the Eastern League yes
terday authorized denial of stories that
certain changes are contemplated in the
Eastern League circuit either as to the
transferring of certain clubs to class r
cities or giving UP Buffalo, Baltimore or
Toronto 10 the major leagues. Mr.. Bar
row said:
Naturally the tail-end clubs are not
drawing as well al home as the clubs on
top. but they get big money on the road.
and t has been quite few years since
an Eastern League club has lost any great
amount of money. no matter where it
stood in The race. And l am pleased TO
say that the necessity for going out to
hunt up new angels or transferring
clubs is thing Of the past SO far as the
Eastern League IS concerned. With the
great and rapid increase in population Of
our cities and the wonderful and In
creasing hold the game has on the people,
our franchises are growing in value er. ~
year. While the geographical situation
might be improved upon, yet I don't
know Of one Gloss s town that could
support an Eastern League franchise
LAS to the possibility Of any OF our
present members securing franchises In
the National or American leagues the
idea is ridiculous as we'll as impossible
under the present system of organs ed
ball. at least it Is impossible unless the
Eastern League gives its consent. and
nobody need delude himself that Vs
would ever consent TO the breaking up
Of our circuit. and forfeiting sour Claims
to being the Oldest biggest ana best OF
putting an Eastern League club IN one
or two Of the big league towns, but
never to giving up one Of our best towns
and taking in smaller one"

NEW YORK, July 12-Copnie Mack
manager Of the Athletics once said that
there was only one player he regretted
letting go, and that was Jack knight.
1t is known from absolutely reliable
sources that Connie would like to get the
Yankees inflefder right now to play first
base. There have been -rumors dashing
about the great white way of base ball
for some time TO the effect that there was
some deal on whereby Jack McInnes was
to become a member Of the Yankee team,
and that knight was to figure in the
trade.
Since Harry Davis has been out of the
game the manager of the worlds cham
pions has been hunting the woods for a
first saCker. as Davis will not be PLAYING
steadily from now on. The manager of
the Athletics has watched Knight at first
base and has said that there was no one
In the business, barring Chase, who could
play that bag any better than knight
There has been some talk that knight
and Fitzgerald We're offered for McInnes
The Yankee fans saw McInnes maneuyer-
ing about first base at the hilltop i'm the
series with the Athletics and thought him
some first baseman. We have also watch
ed him at short and we would like to
say right out good and loud that he is a

A Desperate Struggle.

No more desperate diamond contest has
ever been staged here. With Coombs
pitching good ball, Philadelphia accumu-
lated lead of six runs. Summers was
taken out and Covington substituted.
Only one man was able to hit Covington
safe-Oldring. He doubled on the first
ball pitched, sending in Philadelphia
sixth run, and later Oldring hit a
grounder that got by O'Leary and Craw-
ford and rolled to the bleachers for a
triple. Oldring scored the last Athletic
tally on Bakers sacrifice fly. Jim Dele
hanty, former National, was the Tigers
star on offensive play yesterday. His
batting featured their attack. With two
gone in the seventh he hit a home run
to right field corner and put the Tigers
within one run of the Athletics. That
hit was the break that decided the game
in favor of Detroit. In the ninth Dele
hanty sent in two more runs with
triple. He got five hits for ten bases
out of five timesOat bat. wild Bill
Donovan is carded to work for the
Tigers today, and Connie Mack will prob
ably use Harry Krause, who pitched the
only effective game against the Tigers
on the first visit Of the world champions
to this city. Eddie Collins arrived in
Detroit in time to climb into a uniform,
but the elbow which he dislocated was
not in shape to permit him to play. With
Collins on second yesterday Philadelphia
might have won Derrick played
