Alexander Was
 Bought So Cheap|y
Phillies Have Made $50,O0O
 on Great Pitcher Bought Purchased so Cheaply.

Small events in baseball often take ranking with the most vital happen ings. Last fall pitcher by the name of Grover Alexander was offered to the Tanks for 1000. He had done noth- 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 Syra- cuse Slabman, so he was finally per- mitted to lag on the market, the Phil lies finally purchasing him for s750- the price of an average class D player of fair promise.
 The first inkling as to Alexander's worth came in 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 $750-has made the Phfllies a stout champion ship contender. In games worked to date young MT. Alexander has won 19 and lost five. In addition to this, he has stepped in repeatedly and saved the day for other slabmen. He has kept his team in the hunt.
 Any manager or club owner in the business would cheerfully. expend $20,- GOO for talent that would make the team a pennant contender. The Phil lies got off with a $750 payment, and this investment has to date brought over S25,000 into the treasury that otherwise would have been missing.
 Before the year is over that $75O will bring in an additional $50,000 to the Philadelphia club, possibly more, which is pretty fair per cent. when you stop to think it over.

Mcintosh Roasts
 English Sportsmen
Especial from United Press.)

London, July 29.-Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian promoter, who, a few days ago, announced he had all of the big fighters, including Sam Me- Vey, Jack Johnson and others, under contract, declares, today, that he is through with the English fighting game. He is going back to Australia and will take his stable of fighters with him. The overseas colony is wild over the fighting game and Mo Intosh believes he may make real money there.
 He complained bitterly, today, that heN had been double crossed by men he consider his best friends and has lost most of his money as a re- suit. According to him, certain per- sons who have been aiding him open ly to break down the monopoly of the National Sporting Club, of this citN have secretly been conspiring with officials of that club to separate him from his money.
 While the National Sporting Club has been bidding against him for the big contests, Mcintosh said, today, he learned that none of its offers have been of a bona f1de character. Men in his camp have been utilized to persuade him to make offers which precluded his making any money
 "The British are the worst sports in the world" said Mcintosh, today They want the cream of everything and an outsider has no chance. It is back to Australia for me, shortly, and I will get my money back there easily"

ASSUMED NAMES RARE
 IN BIC LEAGUE NOW
Collins of Athletics and Warhop of Yankees Formerly Used
 Aliases

Very few players have ever broken into the big league under an assum ed name, but there are some. Eddie Collins, the star second -sacker of the Athletics, while going to Columbia College, played part of a season for Connie Mack under the name of '..Sul- livan." There are very few fans to- day who know that Sullivan, is none other than Eddie Collins, the star. Sammy Strang, the former Giant is another player who broke into the league under an assumed name. He was playing professional ball at Knox vile, Tenn, under the name of Strang and was playing football in the win ter at the University of Tennessee un- der the name of Nicklin. When he got into the big league the name of Strang stuck to him, and he could never get rid of it. Strang was his mothers maiden name.
 While Jack Warhop of New York, does not pose as a collegian, he is one of the big league athletes who recov- cred his name after having played under an alias. For several years he pitched under the name of Flynn" in the minor leagues but when he struck fast company, he got back his real name of Warhop.

EIks Expect To
 Win Next Tuesday

It is evident that Manager Waters of the Bridgeport Elks baseball nine, and the members of the local lodge Pluvius, Or whoever it is that controls the earth's water supply, for enough of the fluid was spilled yesterday to postpone the game of ball which was scheduled to have been played be- tween the Park City and Derby Elk teams. Whatever differences hereto fore existed, are now, however, patch ed up, and the man above has prom ised not to interfere again. Acting accordingly, Managers Waters and McNamara got their heads together and arranged to hold the postponed game at Newfield park next Tuesday afternoon. Tickets sold for yester- days game will be good Tuesday aft ernoon.
 Yeserday's postponement can be safely said to have disappointed over 4,O00 persons, as it was confidently expected that a crowd of these tre7 mendous proportions would have been present. There is expected to be no decline in this interest, and Tuesdays outpourning of the faithful should be large one and may, perhaps, create an attendance record for games be tween teams of this character.
 The delegation which will accom- pany the Derby team in their journey here is expected to be even a larger one than would have been the case yesterday The reason for this is ap- parent, when it is stated that Tuesday afternoon in that city is half holi- day. and the majority of the larger stores, as we'll as a number of fac tories close for the latter half of the day. As was previously planned, the Ansonia Brass band has been engag- ed by the Derby Elks and will assist in making the trip a merry one.
 There will be no change in the line up of the clubs. Gene McCann and Jim O'Rourke will do battery duty for the locals, while McNamara and O'Sul- livan will perform the same laborS for the upstate crowd. The game will be called at 3:30 and will be preced- ed by a gala street parade.

Sandy Ferguson Walks From Ring
five Had Enough" Says Boston Fighter In Bout
 With Tony Ross

Sandy Ferguson of Boston showed the white feather in his ten round bout with Tony Ross of Pittsburg at the Twentieth Century Athletic Club New York, last night. In the fifth session he deliberately quit.
 'I'ye had enough" said Ferguson to Referee Charlie White, "but don't say I said SOL
 You go on and box retorted White.
 'I will not answered Ferguson. 1T have finished" And he dropped his hands and started for the ropes. As he made the move to leave the ring White grabbed him by the shoulder Holding Ferguson in the ring, White yelled to the crowd of members:
 Ferguson stops of his own free will. He asked me not to mention this''
 At the conclusion of Whites explan- ation of Ferguson's action, the Bos- tonian lighter squeezed his big bulk between the ropes and accompanied by yells of derision from the members walked to his dressing room.
 Ross's body punches brought about iFerguson's undoing. He sent in sev- eral hard blows during the third, fourth and fifth rounds and Sandy, after re- ceiving them, made wry faces. Ev- cry time he was hit in the fourth and fifth rounds he grunted like a stuck pig. After taking this kind of pun- ishment for minute in the fifth ses- sion he deliberately walked out of the ring

What Will Happen
Fido Sutton To Walk The Plank
President Tracy Trying to Get Billy Fitzmaurice to Take z
 Umpiring Job

From present indications, "Fido" Sutton's days as a State League um- pire are numbered, according to an announcement made by President ", J. Tracy of the Connecticut League, last night. His work as an arbiter has not been exactly favorably com mented upon around the circuit, al- though President Tracy admits that he has received but one complaint against him. President Tracy stated last night that he had communicated with William P. Fitzmaurice of Mar1- boro, Mass, offering a berth as a State League umpire.
 It now appears that Fftzmaurice will not accept the offer, owing to a rush of business in the insurance line, in which he is engaged. Sutton ap-, parent1y has gotten himself in wrong with about every team in the league and now is in the same position that Bricelin was before the latter gentle man received his green envelope.
 sPresident Tracy expressed regret last night that Fitzmaurice. would not accept the position now filled by Ffdo Sutton. Fitzmaurice knows the game and is a former New Haven rigftfelder. It is only few seasons ago that he~ was one of the best outfieldsrs in ff1e Con- necticut League. It is now hoped that Fitzmaurice will reconsider his decis-i ion f
