NEW YORK, Oct 8-With the
Boston Braves to the top OF the Nat
ional league after being poor last
the first OF July, taking up all spot
lights in this world of sport some
other mighty interesting features IN
connection with the annual baseball
marathons have been overlooked.
One of these features-and one
that deserves far more than ordinary
mention, is the work of Grover
Cleveland Alexander, that pitching
phenomenon who wiggles for the
greatest hard luck club in the world
the Philies. This year Alexander
has been breezing along at the fast
est clip of any pitcher in the Nation
al league loop, literally standing the
batters in that organization on their
heads.
Alexander, with a patchcd-up very
ordinary club behind him, has piled
up the best pitching percentage IN
the league. His work has been mar
velous, considering the support ac-
corded him. He has been the one
and only consistent winner for the
Philies. He has worked too, work
cd like a trojan all year. Doom dc
termincd to keep his warriors out of
the cellar, called on Alexander often
and the big twirler responded with
a victory almost every time.
Which causes us to pause and think
what might have happened. Just
suppose for instance, that Tom Sea-
ton hadn't jumped to the Brooklyn
Federals. Seaton, with his class,
would have added at least twelve
more wins to the Philadelphia clubs
standing And those same victories,
marking off like number of de-
feats, would have put the Philies out
in front of the Braves. where they
could not have been headed.
Another thing that figured strong
in the slump of the Phillies this year
was the absence of Skortstop Mick
ey Doolan He, too, fell for the big
salary inducements held out by the
Federals. Baltimore got him.
Doom was in sore straights to plug
the gap left by Doolan's departure.
For the first three months of the
season ne kept trying out different
ones there and in the meantime the
ones getting the trials kicked many
game away for him. These same
games would have been won in all
likelihood il Doolan had been in the
lineup.
Reports now have it that Doom IS
to be deposed this winter as manager
OF the Phillies. The rumor has float
cd often before. This time it really
seems to be founded on fact
Well, maybe Doom hasn't made
good. He hasn't if you simply look
at the percentage table, showing
where the Philies finished, but if
you've followed the career of the
red-headed scrapping leader you
know that he hasn't fallen down on
the job through lack of ability.

LAND OF CONTRASTS

Perhaps nowhere else in the
world is there a country 50 full Of
contrasts as Mexico.
With a university established be-
fore John Harvard, Elihu Yale or
William and Mary we're born, the
masses of Its people are hopelessly
ignorant.
With a hospital founded before
jamestown was ever dreamed of, it
is one of the most backward regions
of the earth in a medical way.
With natural riches greater than
those of a thousand Midases, its
masses are just as poor as the pro-
verbal church mouse.
With the constitution as perfect
rs any organic law in the civilized
world, it is a nation whose rulers
always have been'a law unto them
, selves.
Here you will see a Mexican half
breed, hare-footed, wearing a 81
pair of trousers, a SO cent shirt
and a $40 sombrero.
There, at a single glance AND
within the length of a single city
block, you may see an Indian car
gador, a donkey cart, an oy-cart,
a carriage, a railroad train, q
street a and a mutor car-almost
every type of locomotion since,
Adam. 4
You may tread the burning sands
of a tropical desert with the wet,
of perpetual snow of towering,
mountains still upon your shoes.
You may take a single railroad
journey of thirty six hours in
which the people you see at the
railroad station will be dressed in
four different weights of clothing.
Everywhere you turn there is
contrast, high lights and deep shad-
ows.-Exchange
