been no official confirmation of the
number and the exact size of the

AIexander's Misfortune Proves
Stepping Stone for Bill

BY HARRY NELLY

CHICAGO, Aug. 16-What is one
persons misfortune often proves a
good break for another especially
in baseball. G. C. Alexander receIv.
ed a broken wrist in Pittsburgh late
in June. He had won nine ball
games and lost three up to that
time. The Cubs pitching staff was
built around him. r.
When Alex was laid low some.
body else had to take his place.
Manager Klllefer was up against it.
Being young and nimble I'M the in
tellect, Bill Killefer cast his mana
gerial eyes over the material at
hand and came to some interesting
conclusions.
II am going to make or break
this ball club on young pitching"
he said one evening in conference.
His decision made the club.
John Blake, Guy Bush and Rip
Wheeler have become regulars, due
to the Alexander injury and lack of
condition and a sore arm on the
part Of Vic Aldridge.
These three youngsters form the
most efficient trio Of kid hurlers in
either major league. The Cubs. al.

IT have not seen such a young
pitching staff in years" was the
way Burton Whitman. Fwell-in'
formed Boston expert, expressed
himself. why, your club no
sooner is weakened in one depart
ment until it breaks out in some
other place. OF course, I'VE always
liked Killefer and his ways in the
east, but l never heard of a club
coming up so often with men about
whom one may write interesting
pieces"
Blake. Bush and Wheeler are
working in regular turn and will
continue to do so until the season
ends or they show signs of slipping.
Killefer figures by adopting this
policy he is just one season ahead
of his rivals.
To be sure, the injury to Alexan-
der has upset the hurting staff as
nothing else. could have done. The
Cubs would go into town with the
initial game three.fourths won be-
fore it started. If the club got
off to a good start-as 1t invariably
did-the initial victory had a big
moral effect on the subsequent
games. The Cubs would be on their
way and difficult to stop.

one Of the most promising looking
players in the major leagues was
Cliff Hapenny, who was on the

University and graduated directly
into the. big leagues from the col

He played thirty.two games with

marks of coming star. Hapenny
left organized ball at the end Of

Here's An Editorial.

A S an evidence of this coun-
~ try-wide interest in Walter
- johnson as a possible world
series hero, we are here offering
an editorial from the New York
Telegram and Evening Mail. Here
it is, under the title Of cage Can
not Wither Walter"
"Washihgtoh's mighty finger,
Walter Perry Johnson, now in his
eighteenth year of major league
baseball, struck out eight men in
shutout game with the Cleve-
land Indians Wednesday.
ut was the 106th shutout which
the Speed King has administered
in the course of his career, and
in it he brought the total of
strikeouts up to $3.50.
Eighteen years Of hard work
and earnest application to his
profession is the Johnson record.
Rounding out his second decade
with speed, accuracy, variations of
delivery and superb box general
ship, the Walter Johnson of 1924
is but a seasoned successor of the
ambitious and efficient greenhorn
OF 1907. He has not slowed down,
and the years which have brought
him fame and much material pros
perity have touched him with only
a caressing hand.
Walter johnson is the exem.
plification of what athletics, as a
profession, can mean for the
steady, competent, earnest and
faithful entertainer Of the mil
lions.

Firpo Having Tough
Time Taking
Off Weight

Luis Firpo is not having an
easy time getting rid of the
excess weight he has accumu-
lated during his long lay-off in
South America. He is over
weight, and, although he takes
jauntr over the roads every
morning at Saratoga, his waist
line is still far greater than it
should be. Firpo eats about
three times as much as an ordi-
nary mortal, his theory being
that the more he eats the
stronger he will become.
Firpo needs plenty of work to
get into shape for Wills. He
is his own boss and he works
as he likes. Unless he goes
about it more strenuously than
at present, he will go into the
ring against Wills weighing
far more than he did against

= From today to the end of the
season Johnson's Importance grows.
Of the forty-one games remaining
on the Washington schedule, it is
fair to assume that Johnson will
pitch some eight or ten. If he
can win those eight or ten, the
Griffs will Just about win the
pennant for the first time in his
tory.
George Mogridge and Jezebel
Tecumseh Zachaty, two more vet
Grams, are expected to carry their
share of the load, with Curly Og-
den and Fred Marberry assisting.
But Johnson is the main cog in
the machine.
There is this to be considered
in this final rush /of the Griffs,
their three veteran hurlers have
always done well toward the close
of a campaign. This is especially
true of Mogridge, who proved it
Thursday with his masterful two
hit game against Joe Shaute and
the Cleveland Indians. johnson
and Zachary are also strong fin
ishers and Bucky Harris counts
much on that.
The Griffmen are contenders.
They will quite likely remain con-
tenders right to the end, whether
they win or lose. And if they
win, the whole country will give
a shout for joy because it will
"see Walter johnson in a world
series"
