The ball is believed to be much livelier
and the batters are not as cOnserva-
tive in their hitting, taking a cut at
the ball at any old time.
Alexander believes it is more of a
puzzle to pitch at present than in
other years because the hurler never
knows when the man at the plate will
hit. In the old days if the count were
two and nothing or three and nothing
the twirler could lay the ball over the
plate without fear of having it driven
over some fence but he cannot do
that in these days He has 20 bear
down at all times.
Yet with this change in the system
of playing ball Alexander continues
to shine and thus far is the most
consistent winner on the Cub team
He is far from being through
Alexander attributes his success to
the rest he gave his arm in the winter
at Catalina island. He went there
on the advice of the clubs doctor, who
examined and treated his wage arm
before the season closed. Doctor Pitts
found a ligament out of place and
slightly stretched back of the elbow,
and told the big twirler the only thing
that would help him was a thorough
vacation. Alexander took it and said
he has not had a bit of trouble with
1t this season. The only stiffness he
has felt has been in the shoulder, and
he says that comes after every game
and works out the next day.
