Any pitcher will tell you that he
would much rather start a game than
go in as rescue pitcher, especially if
the score happens to be a tie when he
goes to the pitching mound. 1t is a
VERY ticklish situation, for the pitcher
cannot ease up minute, being forced
to go at top speed. This feature makes
the work of Alexander against the Reds
that afternoon all the more noteworthy.

X ROVER ALEXANDER Of the
Philadelphia Nationals is one of
- the greatest pitchers the game
has ever produced. With team in
clined to be erratic, and usually sadly
crippled because of injuries to star
players, Alexander has always per
formed brilliantly. Records galore are
credited to him, and his pitching has
been the feature of a majority of the
games in which he has worked. As
noise. Prior to joining the Phillies, he
was with Syracuse in the New York
State league, and they still talk of
"AIeX'' in that circuit In 1910 he
pitched seven successive shut out
games, in all 50 innings, without being
scored on, which is certainly going
some.
Game Was Tied Up.
While Alexander has pitched many
remarkable games for the Phillies he
looks on a. performance he turned
shortly after joining the club as one of
the best of his career. 1t was staged
on May Is, 1911, against Cincinnati.
George Chalmers started the game for
Philadelphia. Strangely enough, the
previous year Chalmers, as a member
Of the Scranton team, had Wed with
Alexander for the leading hOnOrs in
the New York State league, Chalmers
having a slight shade. Chalmers re-
tired at the end Of the eighth inning
with the score standing 4 to 4. During
that time ne had allowed nine hits. A

MANAGER LICHTENSTEIN, who
w looks after Jimmy Clabby's
matches, is keeping the sporting
editors desk Uttered up with a
choice collection of marked copies of
Chicago papers. He is working Oft
superfluous steam in the windy city
by telling the sport scribes that the
Hudson promoters of the McGOoTty-
Gibbons bout had no right to bill the
bout for the middleweight cham-
pionship. He declares that Clabby
won two referees decisions over
McGoorty and trimmed Gibbons
twice, once on an official decision
and the other time by newspaper
verdict. Now that Mike Gibbons has
beaten McGOorty, Lichenstein is
willing to talk turkey for 20 rouIO
bout between Clabby and Mike.
THE supremacy of organized over
4 independent baseball is well in
stanced in the fight that is being
put up at Bristol, Tenn, to secure
recognition from the National asso-
citation for a new league that is be-
ing formed around Bristol. In this
part of the country, organized ball
waits to welcome the new Rio
Grande association, yet the knockers
are busy and are agitating for in
dependent baseball. The only advan-
tage of independent ball is that
special games for side bets can be
arranged from time to time and
promoters can make a bit more
money than is possible in organized
circles. Organized ball is always
the cleanest and best and FL Paso
should give its undivided support to
the new league.
DALI PLAYERS have long been
l. noted for their appetites. The

Faber dashed up to a lunch counter
and ordered a roast beef sandwich.
The waiter fairly flung it at him
and hurried off to serve others. Red
took a glimpse between the two
pieces Of bread and set up yell
that could be heard in Oakland. The
waiter came back on the jump.
"Say, where's the roast beef in this
sandwich" demanded the hungry
ball player. "Why, you covered it
up with that mustard" was the
response. Red hasn't got over it
yet.

''Beck's" Amen Corner
BY "BECK.D

A RTHUR PELKEY, who gave
promise of being a real heavy
weight championship contender two
years ago but who slid back among
the unknowns after the bout in
which Luther McCarty lost his life,
is back in America. Pelkey dumped"
the management of Tommy Burns in
Australia last year and went to
England. Away from the former
champion, Pelkey seemed to regain
some of his old form and did very
well in his bouts in England. How
he has come back to America and in
New York, tonight, he will stack up
against jim COfey in a ten round
affair. Billy Gibson declares he will
try to match the winner with Will
lard in New York for ten rounds or
in Havana for 20 rounds. Coffey
has been keen on a bout with big
Jess. He points out that he out
pointed "Gunboat" Smith and that
"Gunboat" had a 20 round decision
over Willard. Pelkey, if he shows
as good form tonight as when he
was training for the MCCarty bout,
may upset COfey's plans.
SOMETHING new is promised
- when Barney Oldfield comes to
FL PasO next month This will take
the form of a race between an
aeroplane and a powerful autOmO-
bile. The aerOpIane, handled by
aviator Thompson, must circle the
track at a height of less than IS
feet, so there won't be much guess
work in picking the winner Barney

carrying a half smoked cigar in his

expect to see a great exhibition of

jess Willard will not be tolerated for
a single moment.

LAWSON VS.. HALIFAX
CASE IN U. S. COURT
HIGHEST TRIBUNAL IN THE
LAND SUsTAINS JUDGE M. r.
AVERlLL

A noted and important decision has
been handed down by the United
States supreme court in the case of
Jack Lawson against the Halifax
Tonopah company. About three years
ago, Lawson met with injuries while
in the employ of the Halifax company
in its mine east of town. Shortly
after the accident, the Halifax com
pany paid to Lawson some $36 In ad-
dition to what money was due him
and obtained from him a receipt re-
citing that the payment was in full
of all claims for damages on account
of the injuries, etc. Shortly after.
Lawson, who had been kept on the
pay roll at light work, was discharged
and he then comenced action for dam
ages. The litigation commenced in
the local district court about two and
half years ago.
The Halifax company pleaded re-
lease based on the receipt. Lawson's
attorney claimed that under a special
statute of Nevada, passed in 1907, the
release as such, was void, and the
amount paid therefor, was simply so
much on account of wateyer sum was
actually due and proper for the dam
ages. Judge Averill upheld this con
tention, after elaborate arguments
and briefs had been filed. The attor-
neys for the Halifax company con
tended that the statute was uncon.
stitutional as depriving parties Of the
right Of private contract The case
was then tried out on other points
and resulted in judgment in favor OF
Lawson for about $1,000 and costs.
Then an appeal was taken by the
Halifax company to the Nevada su.
preme court, where the question OF
constitutional law was again present
ed that court sustained the Nye
county court.
A lengthy petition for rehearine
was then filed, other counsel repre-
senting mine operators, coming into
the case, on account of its importance
from legal standpoint The petition
for rehearing was finally denied anC
the Halifax company sued out a wri
of error to the United States suprem,
court, where elaborate briefs were
submitted by both sides. The consti
tutional power of the Nevada legis
lature to enact the 1907 law was at
tackled by the Halifax attorneys, bu
without avail for the court affirme,
