ALEX THE Great
SIGNS FOR $4,000
Philly Twirler at Last Among
High Salaried Ball
Players
ONLY FIVE MEN
ARE BETTER PAID

Grover Cleveland Alexander, after
six years in the National League, has
finally jumped into the class OF ball
players drawing huge salaries. He
Will begin this season to draw a sal
AIRY proportionate with other great
stars of the game, after having pitch
ed his team into one pennant, and
having tried yaliantly to do the same
thing in two seasons.
He signed contract in Philadel-
phia yesterday calling for salary, il
il generally believed, OF Sl2,50O a
year This is $4,000 less than the sum
be was holding out for and Is $4,000
more than he was finally offered by
President Baker OF the Phillies.
There are now fee men in baseball
believed to be drawing larger salar-
les than Alexander. Two OF these,
John j. McGraw and George Stallings,
are managers.
Ty Cobb, iris Speaker and Eddie
Collins are the others. They are adj
mittedly the greatest players in the
game
Cobb is reported to. be drawing S15.-
600 year. Speaker Sl7,500. and Col
Inns $4,000. Walter Johnson, OF the
Senators, is receiving salary Of
S12,5OO
Comparing the record OF Alexander
with the records OF other high salaried
stars. it is reasonable to argue that
Alexander should have received long
ago the raise he has been granted
In 1915 Alexander won thirty-one
games and lost ten, pitching bis team
almost unaided into the championship
Of the National League. He missed
duplicating this feat last fall by the
narrowest of margins. In fact. he
pitched two games in a single day
last fall. winning both of them. He
won the only worlds series game ac-
credited 10 the Phillies. over the Red
Sox in the 1915 conflict
