ALEXANDER PROVING GOLD
Mine FOR TIE PHIlIIES
PURCHASED FOR $3.50 FROM THE
SYRACUSE CLUB.
Will Bring in $4,000 to the Club
Treasury This Year.

Small events i'm baseball often take
ranking with most vital of happenings.
Last fall a pitcher by the name of
Grover Alexander was offered to the
Yanks for $1,000. He had done moth
ing sensational with Syracuse and the
offer was turned down. No other
club, with all the vast army of scouts
out, saw anything wonderful in the
Syracuse slabman, so he was finally
permitted 20 lag on the market, the
Phillies finally purchasing him for
S750-the price of an average class ID
player of fair promise.
The first inllling as to AleXander's
worth came i'm the spring series with
the Athletics, when the young phenom
held Mack's champions to three hits
and beat them handily.
His advent-at the price of $3.50
has made the Phillies a stout cham
pionship contender. In games worked
to date young Mr. Alexander has wor
seventeen ana lost five Tn addition
10 this he has stepped in repeatedly
He has kept his team in the hunt
Any manager or club owner in the
and saved the day for other slabmen
business would cheerfully expend
$4,000 for talent that would make the
team pennant contender. The Phil
lies got off with a $3.50 payment Be-
fore this year is over that $3.50 viii
bring in fully $4,000 TO the Philadel-
phia club. possibly more, which i.
pretty fair per sent when you stop to
think il over.

MORE BASEBALL INJURIES
NOW Than IN FOOTBALL
COMMISSIONERS MAY BE ASKED
TO REFORM THE GAME.
Frank Chance Most Seriously Injured
Of Majors This Year

st. Louis. Mo, sept 9.-It is thought
probable that the national baseball
commission and the directors of the
National and American leagues viii
have To come together and modify the
diamond rules so that there will be
less accidents in the future. Such a
move had to be made in football with
the result that last season was practi-
cally free from serious injuries.
OF the two games-baseball and
footbal-the former appears to be the
more strenuous now, Judging by the
long list of players who have been
hurt this season.
Never before I'm the history of the
game have there been so many players
Obliged TO remain out from Injuries,
and many of them have been serious
enough to cause alarm.
Most OF the accidents have been
caused by base running. The game
has become so fast and inside ball has
been so highly developed that success
really seems to hinge upon ability to
run the bases. IL has been sliding into
bases that has resulted In a number OF
bad injuries Also II has been through
players being spiked or knocked dowr
by the runners that have caused othcl
bad accidents.

The Building Of Life.

Life is a building. 1t rises slowly
day by day. through the years. Every
new lesson we learn lays a block on
the edifice which is rising silently

influence that impresses us, every
book we read, every conversation we
have, every act of our commonest

building.-J X. Miller.

submit that in respect to grandness.

Creary, Of Kentucky. has all others
beat to a pulp Thirty-six years
ago Mr.. McCreary was elected Gov
ernor of the Bluegrass State. and
made a good one. He then went to
the Lower House of Congress
where he served for twelve years.
and from there to the Senate. where
he remained for six years. The
whirligig of politics having whirled
him into the discard a few years
ago, he bided his time, and then
began a new career in just the same
way he began his other, being a
candidate for Governor. He has
been nominated by the Democrats.
and the chances are that he will be
elected. Mr.. McCreary is a man of

The liquor plank Of the Repub-
lican State platform is simply a
contradiction Of itself. While ap-
parently endorsing Section 81 Of
the Constitution-whic bears sim
ply upon local option-it interprets
this section TO mean the county as
the governing unit, when the word
ing Of the clause says no such
thing. Evidently the Republican
platform was intended to catch all
kinds Of voters-the prohibitionist,
the local option man, or the man
who wants the liquor question vot-
ed on in the most remote precincts
OF the State. regardless Of what the
people OF the county want.
