ALEXANDER BALkS
At Joining CUBS
Big Pitcher Wants Part Of
$4,000 Purchase Price

New York, Dec. 19.-Grover C1eve-
land Alexander, pitcher extraordinary,
who, with Catcher Killefer, was sold
last week by the Philadelphia Ma
tionals to the Chicago Cubs, has had
his little say Grover demands to
know whether he is to get any of that
fat roll OF greenbacks which Charley
Weeghman turned over to Bill Baker
for the big pitchers release. A1eck
says if Baker received anything like
what the papers said Baker did for
his release, then Grover thinks he is
entitled to slice of the purchase
price.
Alexander left his farm in Nebraska
to sign a new contract with President
Weeghman. There is no hitch in the
salary arrangements. according to
Alexander. Weeghman merely took
over the contract which Alexander
signed with Philadelphia last winter
by which he is to get $4,000 a sea-
son. This contract still has six years
to rum
II don't understand some Of these
baseball DEALS said Alexander in Chi
cago yesterday. IF I have been so
successful as a pitcher to be worth
as much as Mr.. Weeghman paid for
me, I cannot see why I am not in on
it. I certainly think I am entitled to
a share OF the purchase price Phila-
delphia received by reason of my
skill"
Having watched some of the f1nan-
cial deals made by Bill Baker since he
became president of the Phillies, we
would say that Alexander has fine
chance to collect.

The announcement by Fulton that
he will claim title if Willard failed
to make a match by December 20
was the cause of merriment in boxing

Fulton Is not the only heavyweight

nounced yesterday that the basketball
squad would be coached this winter by
John Murray, Of the Bridgeport pro-

up of Murray, Harry Fisher, graduate
manager of athletics and former bas-
ketbal coach, and Ted Kiendl, of the

sport for this season. In the hands of
this committee rests the question

tensive training the Columbia five will
not enter any contests until after the
Christmas holidays. The game with
Princeton, scheduled for this month,
has been postponed, and the ratifica-

uld defend his title against any

impression there would be no re-

In his ukase, Willard made it clear
At every penny derived from the

IT possibly many of those who en-
I'D Willard the heavyweight crown
aght not be inclined to battle under
&nditions that meant no revenue to

But this fear was quickly dispelled
rs soon as the Wires had carried Will
4aard's message to the habitat of the
heavyweight clan.
First and foremost came a bugle
hlast from the Northwest, where re-
gGtdes Ferocious Fred Fulton, the Min
lne0ota Giant. who has been seeking a
tdispute a Ia Queensberry with Willard
11or several circus seasons.

In response to q query from a New

THE matter, as is shown in the ap-
pended despatch received from him

Fulton's message reads:
Collins, it will be observed. has a
lively appreciation of the charms that
the circus has for big Jess, and is
eager to pin the champion down to
u date for the battle before the time
karrives for the monkeys, elephants,
acrobats and sparring partners to
meet Jess in the sawdust ring.
1t also is quite evident that Collins
/ has some doubt as to the sincerity of
the champion, for the demand for the
posting of a forfeit would hardly be
necessary in view of the object for
which the battle would be fought.
Fulton Proper Opponent.
New York boxing men, however, de-
clare that Fulton is entirely justified
in asking the champion to bind him
self by forfeit and also sign articles
OF agreement that shall be made pub
lie before the contest takes place.
This should be done to assure the
patrons of the battle that it will be
lntrictly on it's merits, for if there was
the slightest doubt on this point there
would not be a corporaps guard to
witness the bout and the Red Cross
would not derive any benefit.

CAMP MACARTHUR NOTES.

A soldier boy at Camp Macarthur,
Waco, Texas, where so many Grant
county boys are now in training,
writes humorously of life in the big
southern camp.
Scorpions are abundant down there
and so are horned toads. The toads
are not poisonous but the scorpions
are. But they won't hurt unless both
cred. They have a funny tail and a
million or so tiny legs.
The boys have rOOmy and comfort
able mess shacks, which aside from
affording room for the cooks prove
a pleasant place to write letters home
Everything is electric lighted at the
camp, including the tents. At Camp
Douglas candles were used
The canteen is heavily patronized,
especially around payday. Soft drinks,
tobacco candy and ice cream disap-
pear like magic before the onslaught
Of the soldier boys. No intoXicants of
any kind are tolerated in the camp
There is a fine Y. M. G "A. building
on the grounds arranged like a large
hut. There moving pictures are shown
and sOftd Kinks and candy sold. The
building is arranged very costly and
makes a nice place during the idle
hours to lounge in.
The city of Waco nearby is a beau
tiful place, with fine architecture,
broad streets, ETC. The boys ride down
in cars when they have money and
walk when broke. The city is very
clean and healthfuI. The water sup
ply to the camp is abundant, but the
water contains mineral and has a pc
culiar taste It is said to be good for
the system, though, and the boys drink
it with gusto.
The boys are 1900 miles from home
and mail is eagerly looked for. Let
ters are wanted early and often.
