ALEXANDER NEAR

Philadelphia HurIer Has Won
Thirty Games This
Season.
BY Frank &. Menke.

NEW YORK, Sept 29.-Alexander
has been the mightiest defense factor
in the great pennant fight Of the Phil
lies-but one mustn't overlook the fact
that there are several other Philly
pitchers who have aided in the uplift
movement.
Demaree has won Il Of those Philly
cOmbats; Mayer has won Is; McQuil-
len. the castoff. has won Il; Rixey

won six
Alex May Lead Pitchers.
AS the pitchers in the National
league go into the stretch, it begins to
look as If Alexander will finish the
season where he ought to fnish-at the
top.
The wonderful moundsman has
w1n something like 90 games against
10 defeats That places him second
to Mammaux, the Pirate phenom, but
Alexander has been closing up the
gap tina. divided the two, and now is
only few points behind. Alexander,
during the past month has been breez-
ing along in much better form while
Nam maux shows signs OF slipping.
Smokey Joe" Wood. having come
back into his own, is leading the
American aurlers by rather healthy
margin and ought to finish ahead Of
the field, although his teammates,
Ruth and Foster, are giving him a
close fight. Wood is about 40 points
ahead OF Ruth and about 80 ahead OF
Foster.

Mcconnell, or the Chicago Whales,
Allen OF the Pittsburgh Rebels. and

Hinchman Leads Pirates.
VINO Will manage the Pirates next
year?
Some there are who think that
Honus Wagner will grab the job left
vacant by the retirement of Fred
Clarke, but from the inside" comes
the tip that Bill HinChman, the big
outfelder, may land the job.
Wagner, in the opinion of many
would be too easy with the men.
Hinchman, on the other hand, showed
we'll. in an executive ability while
with the Cleveland club a number of
years ago. when he handled the club
in the absence Of the regular leader.
Marquard Seems TO BE Through.
"Rube" Marquard seems to have
Outlived his major league usefulness.
1t was figured when he was let out
by the Giants and again taken under
the wing of Wilbert Robinson, that
he might do a come back" but the
eccentric southpaw, in his last few
starts mas shown nothing that would
merit keeping him on the payroll. lie
has been batted from the box with
frequency.
However. Marquard's contract, one
of those supposedly irOn-clad affairs,
holds good until the end of the 1916
season, SO that even if he is chased off
into the bushes he will draw big
league pay until October of next year.
