Grover Cleveland Alexander
Conceded Best in Old League.
HooDoo TO CINCINNATI
Reds Have Only Won a Single Game
From Him in Past
Two Seasons.

PHILADELPHIA, May 22-Grover
Cleveland Alexander of the Phils, ac-
knowledged king pin pitcher of the
National League, is following in the
steps of that other master mechanic,
Christy Mathewson, and Staying the
Cincinnati Reds oftener than any other
troupe. In his first four years in the
National, Aleck the Great went at an
500 clip against the Ohioans, conquer
ing them twenty times out Of twenty
FIVE attempts. The Nebraskan has been
beaten by the Reds only once in the
last two seasons.
Alexander has only two clubs now to
get even with-Chicago and New York.
He lost two more games to the Cubs
from 1911 to 1914, inclusive, than he
won from them. and one more from the
Giants. McGraw's men dealt Alex his
first defeat this year, with Ralph
Stroud, former Tiger, who was offered
as sacrifice by John j., operating.
Alexander was worked out of turn
when he met with this reverse, but oc-
casionaIly the Nebraskan can do such
a thing and get away with 1t. In 1909.
when Aleck was with GaleSburg. ne
hurled a hitless game against Canton
July %, and three days later he
tfounced Macomp, L TO U, ID eighteen
innings, striking out nineteen men
while doing SO.
A striking feature about the work of
Alexander, who is called the greatest
pitcher in the world by George Stall
ings and a decided credit to the pro-
fession by John Tener, is that every
year he pitches well ahead of his team.
And he hasn't been with a pennant
winner vet He Travelled .2S5 faster
than the Galesburg team did in 1909,
.O97 faster than Syracuse did in 1910,
1863 faster than Philadelphia did in
1911, 04S faster than Philadelphia did
in 1912, $50 faster than Philadelphia
did III 1918, and 1872 faster than Phlla :
delphia did in 1914.
This is how he Jared against his seven
opponents from 1911 to 1914, inclusive:

championship since 1t was vacated by
