A TEN YEAR ARGUMENT.

Grover Cleveland Alexander's 13in-
ming defeat of the Giants last week in
Chicago turned the balance in Alec's
favor for the first time in decade of
fitting between the National leagues
speed king and McGraws team.
When Alec was in his prime as
member of the Philadelphia team he
lost more games to the Giants than he
won from them They still had the
Indian sign on him when he joined the
Cubs. Last season Alec never at
tanned his best form, but he has come
back with bells on this year and is
giving the Giants more trouble than he
ever caused them before.
Up to last Friday the Giants had won
81 games from Alec and lost the same
number to him over a stretch of nearly
10 years. The rubber went 13 in
nings before Alec poked his nose in
front.

BERLIN, March 2S-Hermann
Mueller. minister OF foreign affairs in
the Bauer cabinet. has succeeded,
after many difficulties, in getting a
new cabinet together. 1t became
known today. 1t is again a coalition
government of Social Democrats, So
cial Democrats, and Democrats, and
Is made up chiefly of members of the
old cabinet shuffled around into new
positions, with the addition of Ave
new members. The list was given
out as follows:
Chancellor and minister Of foreign
affairs-Hermann Mueller.
Vice chancellor and minister of in
terior-Koch.
Minister of justice-Dr. Blunck.
Minister of labor-Schlicke.
Minister of economy-Schmidt.
Minister of defense-Gessler.
Treasurer-Dr. Wirth.
Minister OF flnance--Dr. Cuno.
Minister of food-Hermes.
Minister without portfolio-Edouard
David.
Because OF inability to agree on a
man for the foreign portfolio, II was
decided to let Mueller combine that
with the chancollorship until another
man can be found for the office.
Lansberg, the Socialist charge
d'affaires at Brussels, was named for
the foreign post by the Social Demo-
Gratis, but the Democrats opposed the
nomination strongly on two grounds.
first that he Is a Jew. and secondly.
that he has fiery red hair and a beard
of the same color.
