Grover Alexander Tries
to Strike Out Thousand
Men Before Curtain Falls

Grover Alexander. of the Philadel-
phia Nationals twirling staff, promises
to complete a record this season equal
ing in interest Honus Wagner's hun
dred home runs. If he maintains his
present strikeout speed Alexander
should round out one thousand whiffs
of opposing batsmen before the cur
tain falls on October Z.
At the beginning of the 1915 cam
paign his record showed that close to
7a0 batters had been turned back to
the bench during AleXander's league
career as a result of failing to con.
meet with Growers curves. When the
season opened he needed about PA
strikeouts to complete his 1000, and
since July / saw him we'll past the
hundred mark, it appears reasonably
certain that Alexander will fan his
thousandth opponent within the next
thirteen weeks.

MACK BUILDING UP
A PENNANT WINNER f?
IF He AccOmpIishes This Feat, 1t
VIII Be One of Most Note
worthy in Baseball History

New York, July 10. - Apparently
Connie Mack. manager of the Phila-
delphia Athletics, has at the age of
b3 undertaken the task of building an
other pennant-winning team for Shibe
Park. Because of his record of six
American League pennants and three
worlds championships, this latest re-
construction work on the Athletics
baseball machine will be watched with
the country.
Following the four straight game de-
feat administered to the Mackmen by
the Boston Braves in the worlds series
of 1914 there were many reports to
the effect that the Athletic combi-
nation would be broken up and new
team formed. The sale OF Collins to
the Chicago White Sox; Pennock to
Boston and Shawkey to New York;
the release of Coombs, Bender and
Plank; the dropping of Baker from
the pay roll and the passing of still
other players to the miners, indicate
that the work is we'll under way.
Now rumor has it that still other
stars of yesteryear are to change their
Athletic uniform for those of other
American League clubs, while Mack
will fill their places with promising re-
cruits from minor and college dia-
monds. Grounds for these reports are
found in the signing of Crowell, Healey,
Haas. Sheehan and Johnson and the
statements that Mack has lines out for
some promising material in southern
and western circuits.
The ability of the veteran manager
to develop stars from youthful players
recruited from varsity and bush fields
is we'll known. Plank, Collins. Coombs
and Barry all Joined tie Athletics with
out the formality of minor league ex-
perience, while Baker, McInnis, Ben
der Strunk and several others served
but a short period in the minors be-
fore being gathered in by Mack. II he
can repeat his previous record In this
respect in these days of close baseball
competition and 1ne-comb scouting,
fish position as the greatest manager
of baseball history will be beyond dis
pute.

Euzman with his peculiar dip de,
livery had few things too. He held
the Royals to four hits in five innings.
Lucky breaks for Montreal in the sixth
and ninth were factors in the scor-
ing.
Eddie Zimmerman's bunch furnish
ed the thrills with sensational fielding.
Move and Tamm and Callahan pulled
off hair-raising plays. Tooley was
also in evidence with brilliant plays.
Smith and Holden were Montreal
stars.
Harrisburg Starts Scoring

and scored on Euzmann's single to
middle field. Move sacrificed and

Rifle Shooting Now Chief
Sport in Austria-Hungary

Advices received from Austria
Hungary by members of the American
Olympic Committee indicate that ath-
letics and sport generally is at a
standstill in those countries. Rifle
shooting and football, played by
youths too young to bear arms, appear
to be the only forms of competition
INDUCED in by those not serving at the
front
Racing. track and field athletics,
swimming, fancy and competitive skat-
ing, skiing, tennis and cycling have all
been dropped for the time being at
least. Fencing and shooting have
ceased to be sports and are now re-
garded as serious business. The latter
has become very popular and rifle
ranges have sprung up everywhere.

Here is the latest story of the high
priced ballplayer.
Angelo Aragon, the Cuban player,
who has been holding down an infeld
job with the Richmond International
team. was asked to name his own
terms to play with the Brooklyn Fed
erals.
He sent in his own valuation of his
services as follows:
"Give me $4,000 down and a con-
tract for $4,000 for a year"
Manager Lee Magee replied:
Sorry I cant give you steam
yacht and the Woolworth Building too.
Knowing you couldn't be happy with
out them, l guess we'd better call it
off"
At that Aragon may not have priced
his services too high. He is a good
infielder and fast on the bases.
