1t begins to look now as If the Cubs
had lost on their gamble with Grover
Alexander who, with his battery mate.
Killifer, was purchased from the
Phillies at fabulous price. It's al.
most a certainty now that Alexander
will be in the army before many
weeks have done brodie on the office
calendar. The big pitcher is in Class
l and is among the first twelve or
so in his district. The only thing re-
naming to be done is to send him
formal notice to appear for examina-
ton. Being physically fit in every
respect. he is certain to be accepted.
President Weeghman realized the
chances he was taking when he pur-
chased Alexander. With the big
pitcher on his team the Cubs immed-
lately doomed up as pennant contend

ing his enthusiastic cooperation.

boxing and has brought it the popu-
