ARCHER NOT TO BE CUB MAY

Alexander put his name to a Philly
contract
President Weeghman and Manager
Mitchell, travelling westward with the
Cub special, seem to have abandoned
all hope of having Archer a member
of the North Siders this season. 1t
is even understood that Weeghman
has given Archer authority to ar
range a trade for himself, and no

tract last season and demands lot
of money this year, so he may have
trouble in placing himself.
Alexander, after debating for sew
eraI days with PhiIly officials, signed
yesterday for a salary said to be $12,-
500, the largest sum ever given Ma
tiOnaI league hurler for one year. He
is worth every cent Of the amount.
On the other hand, as an evidence
of what some other N. l. stars re-
ceived last sason, Roger Hornsby of
the St. Louis Cardinals has returned
unsigned a contract offering him
$4,000, twice the sum he was given
in 1916. HOrnsby is the best infeId
youngster of his circuit, a boy who
will be growing steadily better for
two or three more years until he
reaches a height he should hold for
some time. Any club in the league
but St. Louis would be glad to give
him twice $4,000 and think it had a

There is a lesson here for any who
