Alex Tells Secrets
 Of Pitching Success

am one who believes the farm
 life and the small town is the place to grow the big league stars. O;
 course, there is the exception to all
 rules and big cities have given us
 many wonderful ball players. Take my case. AS a boy I worked | hard. There is no play to putting in i 10 hours daily on the farm at $l25 | per day. when the burning sun is | 100 and up.
 That was my life before took up 1 baseball as my profession. What did it do for me? Why, it took the ease out of luxury.
 When I got into baseball, ap- preciated the life. I wasn't ducking my regular turn to pitch. I have heard many pitchers complain it was too hot at 90 to pitch q ball game. A ball game played inside of two hours.
 l have felt like telling them what had to do for my dollar and a quarter. and 10 hours Of it daily. with the temperature over 100 in the sun,
 Hard work is what the younsster of today needs. He gets fin baseball and he sees the difference, And he grows to prefer baseball. too. He gets to it seriously. l know I did. Baseball is no place for tender foot. Take some of the old-timers. Did they go to specialists when they cracked a finger or twisted an ankle? They remained In the game They weren't going 10 let the next fellow take their job away from them.
 Look at Walter Johnson, Iris Speaker, Eddie Collins. Zack Wheat and the fellows who have been up for a long time. They came from the farm life. Cy Young, too: also Babe Adams. Stanley Covolesklc was a coal miner. He served his hard licks and he is still pitching. Go into the records and you will see that Coveleskie appeared in 64 ball games in 1915 with Portland.
 Too many of the youngsters com ing into baseball today try to duck hard work. When ] started, my only klck was failure 10 get enough work. l would have willingly pitched twice as many ball games as l did if the manager would have called upon me. Now. most of the youngsters are content to sit on the bench and let the old-timers do the work.
 Can you picture two Of present. day crop Of pitchers, carrying the burden of two-tnirds of the teams schedule? Fred Marbcrry of Wash inston is a pitcher Of that type, but he is the exception.
 Yet. in 1915. Tom Soaton and mv- self pitched in 100 of the l53 ball games played by the phllies. We won the pennant that year. Seaton worked in 51 while ] toiled in 49.
 If I ever own a ball club. some ot my scouts are going in for the farm CT boys and the youngsters from the nick towns.
 It has been my experience that the small-town boy is more appre- clatlVe of the opportunity when he gets chance in the majors and as rule he sets about to make the most of it.
