WHY ALEXANDER WANTS $4,000
FROM THE PHILLIES

For two years Grover Cleveland
Alexander, signed to a contract
which called for $4,000 a year, has
wistfuIIy regarded the salaries of
stars on other teams and wondered
why they were so lucky.
Alexander knows he is the main
stay of the Philadelphia team; that
it is mainly due to his wonderful
work in the box that the Phillies won
the pennant in 1915 and were con-
tenders until the last days of 1916.
And when President Baker of the
PhiIIy club offered him an $4,000
contract this year, Alexander
promptly sent it back and asked for
$4,000.
There may be some question as to
whether Alexander is worth $4,000
a year, but Alexander was the great
. est pitcher in the world last year.
with 80 games won out Of 45, 16 of
them being shUtOUts, and he figures
he is worth at least as much as Wal
ter johnson, who is drawing $12,5OO
a year.
hat mere are lnIldIeQ salaries IN
the major leagues is not questioned,
but that any of the really great stars
are getting more than they are worth
is doubtful
Ty Cobb is said to draw close to
$4,000 and he is worth it. Cobb is
the greatest drawing card in base
ball and the value Of his services can
not be estimated.
Iris Speakers contract calls for
$4,000 a year. Speaker MADE the
Cleveland club last year.
Eddie Collins gets $4,000 a year
with the White Sox and it is doubt
full if COmiskey is sorry he is paying
his biggest star that salary.
Walter johnson makes $12,5OO a
car. He is Washington's greatest

last year on account ofrinjuries, but
the owners believe he will be worth
the money this season.
Honus Wagner draws $4,000.
That he has earned it is not ques-
toned.
Lee Magee holds a wartime con-
tract for $4,000. He has yet to show
he is entitled to that much money.
With the evidence submitted, isn't
Alexander entitled to more than
$4,000?

ARMY IS NAVY
CRUISERS WOULD
PLAY Main ROLE

Under the caption III Our Navy
Goes to War" The Army and Navy
Journal suggests what the navy may
be expected to do in case il is called
into service. On this point it says, in
part:
lust what role the United States
Navy will play In the event Of war
with Germany our navy strategists
have undoubtedly determined ere this.
and all possible advantage viii be
taken of such lessons as have been
learned from the present war. AS to
what our navy can or can not do, how
ever, there are many interesting ques-
tons. II seems very certain that our
battleships in the event of war will
get little or no opportunity to show
their qualities at first. and they would
most probably remain safe in harbor
behind mine fields awaiting an emerg-
ency demanding their presence on the
high seas.
so long as the German high sea
fleet Is bottled up in its own waters
by the British fleet there seems no
reason to assume that the situation in
this respect is going to change, and as
the great main British fleet can more
than take care OF the Germans, our
battIeships would hardly be called
upon to seek the German fleet, or per.
form patrol duty along our coasts or
on the high seas, and make themselves
food for German submarines.
1T is known that the Germans for
the last two years have been turning
their attention to the construction of
lighter craft, such as submarines and
seagoing torpedo boat destroyers and
light cruisers of new and improved
types, and less attention has been paid
to the construction OF big capital ships.
What our navy then will be called
upon to meet in the event of war will
be the submarine menace to our ship
ping at sea and along our coasts. This
work will require many fast torpedo
boat destroyers and fast submarine
chasers, well armed, for It may be
safely assumed the Germans are put.
ting guns of powerful calibre on the
new craft. To protect our commerce
on the high seas will be the role of
cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers.
Some of our submarines, with the
skill and daring for which our officers
and seamen are noted, may make their
mark, and some Of the light ships
would help in patrol work. II convoy
Ia. necessary, it viii be done with our
lighter craft. We therefore see no
particular role for the battleship, ex-
cept as q reserve force to meet the
German high sea fleet in case that
fleet ever gains the high seas, or per
haps In bombarding some naval base,
which seems very unlikely"

the water at full speed. Steadily she
crawled up, and as she did so her Of
Ulcers could see the strangers hull
steadily rise on the horizon. Then the
gun sponsors came In view; her flag
was showing, but It was now plain
that the vessel ahead was not only a

German the officers Of the Geier stood
at salute, which was CURLY acknow.
lodged from the Manning, and then
as the Manning headed back great
roar Of laughter burst from her men,
for there, coming down in the distance
as fast as they could steam, was every
one of the eight little American guard
vessels, the fastest not able to make
more than 10 knots, and not one car
rying more than few 6-pound guns,
but they were all determined to be In
that fight if it was possible to get
there.
Vital TO the Blockade
The significance of the Geier's act
lay in the fact that IL she had been
able TO break through the American
Gordon without being spoken to she
could, on arrival at Vera Cruz. where
she put in a few days later, have
cabled to Berlin that the American
pretensions to q blockade before Ha-

fore the alleged blockade was not rec
ognizable. II Is principle in interna-
tional law that q blockade to be recog-
mixed must be effective.

the share which his vessel took in the
