| one pitcher IN baseball able to win more
than thirty games. His name Is Grover
Cleveland Alexander. There isn't any ques-
tion about his being the most valuable
piece of pitching property in the pastime--
since 1914, at least. II Alexander isn't
worth from $4,000 10 $4,000 year. then
the average ball game isn't worth ten cents
for a box seat. Alexander has been content
to drift along on much smaller salary
than many stars have been receiving He
has been worth more than 10000 a year
