Nobody 4Rideso Alexander.

Tom Clarke. the backstop Of the
Cincinnati Reds, and Herbie Moran OF
the Braves were discussing speedy
pitchers. Herbie held that Alexander
the Great" stands first in his estima-
tion, while he has no fondness for
standing up before the shoots OF Smith
Of Brooklyn and Douglass Of Cincin-
natl.
Nobody ever tries to ride Alex while
he is working" snid Moran. 1T isn't
safe to make remarks to him. Hes one
of the quietest fellows in the world
but he knows how to stop any riding.
He made me sit down three times in
a row one afternoon with high. hard
ones He thought 1 had been making
remarks to him that he didn't like, and
1 might have been ducking those bull
let's all afternoon II I hadn't told him
he had mistaken me for somebody else
Alexander Is the sort of a chap who
knows how to make a fellow duck
without actually endangering his life
His control Is so perfect that he can
put tn, ball where he wants 1t to &c
and frighten the batsman."

His Name Was Famous, But

Eddie Collins (the one who plays the
outfield for the Pittsburgh Pirates and
end the more famous ex-Mackman) sat
in the training camp hotel lobby one
night last spring. looking over Pitts
bu:gh sporting pages. The only Collins
he could read about was the White Sox
Eddie. He was indeed the wall flower
ot the Pirates camp. There were glow
ing tales Of Lejune, Costello. Schang.
Vance, Kelley and others. but there
was a daily absence of the name OF
Collins. Tossing the newspaper aside
in disgust, he walked over to the hotel
desk and began to thumb over the
register. .

Pleased With Bill Donovan.

Capt. Til Huston of the New York
Americans says his club would well
come an invasion Of New York city by
the Federals. something about which
they are talking.
I'VE know what 1t costs to maintain
a major league club in New York, said
in it would be the surest thing in the
world that they would not last very
long. and it would be the simplest way
to get rid of them. They are not doing
much harm now. as most Of the play
ers are wise to the situation and are
not giving them a thought: but an en-
trance into New York would be the
finish. As for my team. am1well sat
is1lcd with the work done by Manager
Donovan. who he's had poor material
all year and has Gore well with It. We
have obtained some good men in the
draft. and look for good season next
year.

but what shall be said of the man. who
induced him to desert. Camel, as
manager of the Rochester team, was
accepting money to look after the
clubs interests. and it develops that in
stead he was diclsering with players to
desert and follow him to the Federal

Luderus Strikes Out Often. -
In the fourth. fifth and sixth innings
Leonard retired the side in order. He
seemed to be just as effective against the
right t-handers as he was against the one
left-hander he has to face. Luderus is
the only one Of the Phillies who hit from
the of side.
Both pitchers seemed to be equally ef-
fective. Each side scored a run up to
the seventh, and Alexander gave only
one pass up to that time.
The Philics would probably have been
for he did not seem able to gauge
Leonard's curve and struck out for the
third time in the seventh.
At least two records were made. Pas.

seldom equalled. while Luderus. In SIX
and a half innings, had not had put
out is another remarkable record. Tho
only two balls hit into the infield in this
period were one by Heblitseli IN the

Moran Watches Batters.
The Phillies took their batting prac-
tice at lis o'clock. after the Boston
players had been batting for over half
an hour. McQuillan did the pitching
and Moran again occupied position in
the infield and scrutinized each batter.
Alexander took his turn at batting
practice. as did Rixey and Chalmers.
Rixey took McQuillan's place after the
latter had batted a few minutes, Moran
wanting his batters to get some hitting
from left-hand pitchers. because there
is always danger Of Carrigan using one
of his southpaws.
Demaree was also given chance to
demonstrate on the mound. following
Rixey after the latter had warmed up.
Rixey put everything he had on every
ball; yet the Phillies had no trouble
pounding his delivery.
The Phillies put up very spirited
outf,eld practice, trying to outdo each
other in. getting circus plays. Moran
hit to the infielders and drove the ball
hard on every occasion. There are no
short fields in this park. and every time
the ball is hit between the nelders 1t
ds Dretty sure TO DC noHic run even
Tor man of ordinary speed. The
green wall in center is so far from the
home plate that it hardly furnishes a
proper background. 1t is matter OF
record since this park has been opened
that most of the games nave been
|light-hitting contests. and this fs
blamed on the fact that the distance
to the center field wall Is SO great
that II does not furnish proper back
ground for the pitcher.
Red sox Loudly cheered.
When the Red sox took the field for
practice they were given q vociferous
welcome. Heinie Wagner did the bat
ting for the infield. Carrigan being busy
watching Leonard warm up. Alexander
warmed up with Killifer. Ruth is also
warming up. Carrigan seemed deter
mined to pitch one of his southpaws.
