ALEXANDER HAS CHANCE
FOR 1000 sTRkE0UTs

If Grover Cleveland Alexander fans
as many men this year as he did last
he will have an even thousand major
league strikeouts to his credit The
Nebraska plainsman, the first smart
set boxman to get by the century mark
in whiffs this year, owned 1855 strike
outs when the campaign started.
His hundredth victim was Bill
Hinchman, of the Pirates.
Alexander has breezed men in every
game he has pitched this year. Twice
he has retired a dozen batters on
strikes, the Cardinals, on May Is, and
the Pirates, on June 10, having been
his victims. On April 26 Alexander
made ten of the Braves do the Gus
Hill act, Rabbit Maranville pounding
the air thrice.
Another clever performance was the
tanning of nine Cubs on May 25. Twice
this year Alexander has struck out the
side-in the second inning of the game
! with st. Louis, on May IL, and in the
fourth inning of the game with Pitts
burgh, on June 13. OF Alexis 1O1

AMERICAN AUTOMOBILES
POPULAR IN ARGENTINE
(By Associated Press.l

BUENoS AYRES, June 26.-Ameri-
can-made automobiles are steadily
in popularity in the Argentine market,
their proportion of the total imports
of automobiles into this country hav-
ing risen from 10 IL per cent in 1912
to more than 10 per cent in 1914, the
latest period for which detailed official
returns are available.
The imports of automobiles into
Argentina during 1918 were valued at
$5,1s4,2OO, supplied chiefly by France.
the United States, Germany, Italy, the
United Kinkdom and Belgium in the
order named. While France still rank
ed first in the importation of automo-
biles into Argentina in 1914 the
United States made a larger actual and
relative gain than any of the other
countries named, and rose from fourth
place in 1912 to second place in 1914.
In 1914, when the worldwide depres-
sion reduced the value of automobile
imports into Argentina to about one
fifth of their normal, those from the
United States also decreased, the ex-
ports of automobiles from the United
States to Argentina and other coun-
tries of South America in that year
being little over one-third OF those
of the preceding year.
