BUSINESS Of WHINING THIRTY
CANES IN ONE SEASON MYTHICAL
By JACK VEIOCK.

NEW YORK. April 30.-When the
~ Cubs purchased Grover Cleveland
Alexander from Philadelphia the en-
thusiastic bugs Of Chicago promptly
chalked I'D 80 victories for the 1915
bruins and sat back TO wait EN- out.
Charley Weeghman always en-
thusinstie, has Drophesied that
Alex viii be good for 80 games,
and Charley o8Ines that Jim
Vaughn viii come through with
as many.
But just between US folks and
fence post IL viii be something Of
miracle IL any pitcher in either
league wins as high as 80 pastimes
this year.
Very Scarce.
Look back over the years that have
gone by and you'u find that only
three pitchers in the history Of base
ball as she is now played have ever
won IS games or more for three con-
secutve years Cy Young was the
first TO establish such a record He
won 81 games IN 1901 30 IN 1912 and
2S the next year Then came Christy
with 80 victories in 1903,
SO in 1904 and 81 in 1905.
Grover Alexander has won 30
or more games for the past three
years IN 1919 ne trunneu 81 con-
tests and the following year he
turned in 33 10 the pills. Last
season he won an even 80 vic
tories. The chance OF his repeat
Ing the feat this year is mighty
slim from our way Of thinking.
In the harness at QuaksrtoWn Alex [

That pitcher is Walter Johnson. and I
