ALEXANDER OR RTXEY
WILLPITCH TODAY
Coombs Slated to Twirl for
Brooklyn in Last Game of the
Series.

Manager Moran announced at the start
of the season that Grover Cleveland Alex
ander would be worked every fourth day,
regardless of conditions, If Pat goes
through with his plan Alexander will
pitch this afternoon, but there is pos
sibility that he will select Eppa Rixey for
today's game and save "Alex' for the
Giants tomorrow.
In this way Alexander could be used
In two of the New York games instead of
one, and as the Giants are considered
pennant contenders Moran is anxious to
put McGraw's team farther down In the
race. The Giants have never bothered
Alexander much, while Brooklyn is the
hardest club in the league for the big
Nebraskan, with the possible exception OF
Chicago.
Manager Robinson hardly knows who
he will use, as his entire staff is in
poor shape Since the club arrived here.
Robinson has been announcing Coomos
as the probable pitcher. but 1t begins
TO look as though the Brooklyn manager
was doing this In hopes of drawing more
people, because the former iron man
appears TO be far from the coombs OF
Those who have watched the Colby coll
legian warm up before the game each
day have come to the conclusion that the
wonderful pitcher of a few years ago

back act He might come back enough
10 hold his own, but II is hardly likely he
will ever be the Coombs of old. AS Rob
inson Is still picking Coombs as his likely
twirler. 1t Is necessary to also select
probability. This choice seems 10 lie
between Aitehison and cadore. who
looked SO good in the one inning he

New Lubin Release
Pat Rooney Marion Bent and their
young son, Pat Rooney Jr, three of the
most popular vaudevillians on the stage
today are featured in the Lubin comedy,
THE Busy Belboy," released Saturday.
May 5. This is the first time these inlmit-
able dancers and funeters have ever APP
peared on the screen and their manner
lsms, which are quite In class by
themselves, are refreshingly different at a
time when so many comedy photoplays
are usually mere limitations.
Rooney plays the part of Fidgle, soda
clerk. and he sticks at his job until he
meets Marion and her mother. 1t is love
at first sight. With a leap over the
counter he follows them to their hotel
where he gets job as a belboy. Marion
has titled suitor, and Fidgie. wearing
the evening clothes Of a guest, exposes
him as n fakir. incidentally, he is the
star at hotel dansant with Marion as
his partner. Fidgle's dream of bliss
comes TO mn abrupt end when the angry
guests discover he Is merely n belboy,

War and Sportsmanship

If you were soldier in the trench, how
much sorer would you be at an enemy
that killed you with poisonous gases in
stead of blowing your bean off or maim-
ing you for life with shrapnel and such?
Would 1t make an awful lot of differ
ence to you If poisonous fumes should
end your checkered career in place of
having a 50O-pound shell rip out your
abdomen?
We may be near-sighted but we fail
to see where there is any lack of sports
manship in killing an armed enemy all
the ways there are. plus any new way
that might be discovered.

Ritz Walters railroaded over from At

In the semi, Joe Belmont gave a good

other bouts resulted as follows: Eddie
McCloskey and Lew Hunter loafed

Bobby Mccain to an even break, and

A victory for the Red and Black over

certain, and a Central High School win

\ The Broad and Green streets baseball

late, winning their last three games in
succession. A victory over the Orange

The announcement by Bill Silverman,
Northeast High Schools crack player, to
the effect that he will play professional

Black students with the blues. The loss
OF Sllverman has weakened the team both
in the field and at the bat and may mate

In the match with Catholic High School

George Holmes, Germantown Academys
backstop, is welding his willow in great
style the last two weeks. He was one of
the leading stckers on Coach McCarty's

had lost his eye the early part of the
season. His work behind the bat also is
improving and to date few men of the OPP
position have succeeded in pilferlng bases.
The shift in the Friends Central lineup,
with Drake at short and 1.artung in the
outffeld, has proven a good move on the
part of Coach Jacoby. The Blue and
Gray nine Is putting up a fine article
of ball, and IL It's recent games can be
taken as criterions the F. c. national
pastlmers will be up near the top at the
conclusion of the Interacademlc League
