While Grover Alexander of the Phila-
delphia Nationals was attracting the at
tention of the base ball world early this
season there was another young pitcher
on the Plfllies. also a graduate of the
New York State League who was busy
changing his style of delivery and thus
keeping his light under bushel. This
was George Chalmers. likewise a right
handler, who now has a record which at
tracts almost as much attention as that
of Alexander of the Great
Strangely enough. 1t was Pat Moran,
the old Cub catcher. to whom Alexander
attributes much of his success. who SUE
gested to Chalmers a change from his
long swinging wind-up to a position with
the ball in front Of his chest with a turn
for delivery. This suggestion was made
to correct tendency toward wildness
and also to enable the youngster to
watch the bases better.
When Chalmers had mastered his new
delivery and began to win games Alex
teammates prOwess was overlooked by
many fans. But when Chalmers record
showed eight victories out of his first ten
games Quaker fans began to link the
the same league. and to give them much
of the credit for the fight the Phillies
were making for the pennant-a fight

Chalmers is one of the few foreign-bor
PLAYERS in the majors. He was born In
Aberdeen, Scotland, June ~, 1889. but
removed to New York city, where his
family still lives. before he was two years
old. He attended the city schools and
learned TO play ball on the lots of Man
haitian Island. Then his nickname was
"Dode.' which became :'Dut' for no
apparent reason when he became a pro-
fessional, for of course every popular
ball PLAYER must have a nickname.
The present pitching star did not begin
to think seriously Of base ball career
until 1907, when he was pitching for
the All-Hudsons, a New York semi-pro
club which had grounds at 141st street
and Lenox avenue. With this club he
was receiving SIS to $40 game. accord

club had his services at $50 game. while
Sundays he worked. when needed, with
his old club, the All-Hudsons.
The following year Chalmers signed
with the Scranton club of the New York
State League at a salary of S2O month
winning fifteen of thirty-one games, al
though Scranton finished In last place. Last
season, when Scranton ended In fourth
place, Chalmers won twenty-five and lost
six games, surprising IN percentage the
record of Alexander. who was pitching fol
Syracuse in the same league This sue
cess attracted the attention OF Phila-
delphia, by which he was bought before
the season ended. and received his major
league christening with 8 to ] victory
over New York, whose sluggers were
held to two hits.
Chalmers started his l9i! season by
to victory over Brooklyn. and now
has scored at least one triumph over
every club in the league. But he had
not gone far before Pat Moran suggested
the change in delivery which retarded
temporarily. but paved the way for great
er success.
Chalmers does not depend on any one
style of ball in his pitching. but tries to
mix em up" to puzzle the opposing
batsmen. Personally he is a likable sort

at Heckler's gymnasium in New York, a
place patronized largely by business men.
There his favorite mode OF exercise is
tossing a sis-pound medicine ball, as
he thinks the heavier balls too much OF
a strain for regular exercise.
If Chalmers had not made such a sue
cess Of his pitching ability he might have
been motor cycle racer or an auto
mobile driver. Just as he was getting his
first good base ball start he also was
acting as pacemaker during the winter
for bicycle riders at Madison Square Gar
den. using motor cycle for the pur-
pose. He often acted for Elmer Collins
and paced the latter in some OF his races
against Walthour.
This occupation sometimes yielded as
much as 500 or $500 night when. his
rider was successful. But with his sue
cess as a pitcher Chalmers has de-
termined TO take no more chances of a
spill which might break his sbread-win-
ming arm and end his base bali career
which he hopes may last until his savings
from base ball amount to enough for
him to embark in some business for him

McGillicuddy Connie Mack quits base
ball he can open a clothing store. being
so shrewd at making bargains. With
his long face and black raiment he
might even qualify as successful

performance in base ball, from an
economic viewpoint, was recruiting an
infield that won the American League
pennant and the championship of the
whole world for $10.S5. That's what
the Athletics inner workmen cost.
Ed Collins was in New York, Frank
Baker held out at Reading, Pa; Barry

road tickets. The pasteboards totaled
$1O.S5. That's what the infield cost,
