ALEX VS.. CHENEY
IN OPENING FRAY

Pitchers Battle May Be
Feature of Dodgers
First Game
SERIES WILL BE CLOSE

Alexander the Great will pitch for the
Phllies in the first game of the series
against Brooklyn this afternoon. Man
aEer Moran intends to follow the plan
which was so successful In 1915, and his
famous twirlar will continue to pitch the
first game of each series regardless OF
whose turn 1t happens to be. Alex will
have a hard battle on his hands this
afternoon as Larry Cheney will hurl
for the Dodgers.
Cheney is particularly effective against
the Philles and in the past has proven
a link" to Alexander. II was Cheney
who stopped Alexander after he had won
nine straight games in 1918, and again
last year when the Nebraskan had won
ten In row. he fell Ssfore the giant
spitballer, who was then with the Cubs,
At the present time Brooklyn has only
two twirlers In good shape. They are
Cheney and Pfoffer but this pair are in
unusually good trim for this time of the
year and If the former wins today he may
be sent back at Moran's men in the final
game of the SERIES as Manager Robinson
is anxious to cut down the Phils' large
lead.
After enjoying wonderful weather at
the training camp and getting into superb
shape. the Dodgers have been unfortunate
enough to run into poorer weather than
any other team In the two major leagues
To date Brooklyn has been able to play
only five games and the team is badly In
needof practice.
Poor pitching killed whatever chance
Brooklyn had to win the pennant last
season and a great deal of attention was
paid to the hurlers in the South. The
STAFF was developing In great shape and
Robinson apparently was due to have a
powerful staff this year when the weather
interfered with Roblnsons plans and set
the hurers back.
with Moran's pitchers in such splendid
shape there does not appear to be much
chance for the Dodgers to sweep the series,
but victory over Alexander will give
Robinson's team great advantage for
the present series
