ALEX HAS SAME IDEA.

One OF the star pitchers, Stll IN
active service, who shares the opinion
of Ed Walsh is none other than the
great Grover Cleveland Alexander. In
his prime, Alexander never demurred
to act as pinch pitcher. However, the
strain, sooner or later, ttlkes it's toll
and Alexander feels that had he nursed
himself along, instead of stepping into
every breach that called for relief
work, he would be a much better
pitcher today.
"There comes a time in the career
of every pitcher when doing relief work
is out of the question:, says Alex.
TO be a. I3ll difficult, but as a pitcher
gets up in years, he finds he is not
physically strong enough to SO perform.
"Back in 1923 decided that | was
through as a pinch pitcher and since
then have rarely appeared in such a
role, and then only as pennant- win
ming proposition.
Since then / have pitched consist
emily good ball.
"The fact that at 40 years of age
/ won 20 games last season is,
feel, ample proof of the wisdom of
my belief that pinch pitching is
bad for veteran tWirler, not good
for any pitcher"
MARBERRY AIDED MATS
Stanley Harris in winning two PEN
nantS for Washington in 1924-25 also
proved there is no better way to keep
veteran pitching staff on edge than
to relieve them of doing any pinch
pitching duties.
Tl2rris, with the giant and willing
Fred Marberry in reserve, always called
on him when any of his regulars fall
tered, thereby keeping his veteran. staff
on edge.
In 1926, George Uhle, in an effort to
pitch Cleveland to a pennant, worked
overtime as regular and in rellet
roles. He was able to win the sur
prisingly large total of 27 games. Yet
Uhle paid the penalty
The greatest pitcher in the Ameri-
can league in 1926 could win only eight
games last season, less than one-third
his conquests of the previous year.
/ am inclined to believe that a
majority of the managers have
been won over to the belief there
is nothing quite so necessary to
stabilize pitching staff as high
class relief twirler, able to go at
top speed for two or three innings.

congress MAY BE
Convened IN OCT.
Smoot Says Coolidge Has
Special Session in Mind

Washington, June 9 iPl-President
Coolidge has the question OF spe
cial session of congress in October
before him. but he has not reached
any definite decision.
His attitude was indicated at the
White House after Senator Smoot,
republican, Utah, one OF the admin
istrations senate leaders, had pre-
dicted that he would call a special
session. An almost immediate clari-
ftcation OF the presidents view was
forthcoming, indicating that Mr..
Coolidge is keeping an open mind on
the question, but considers it entire
ly too early TO decide.
The Utah senator advocated the
special session in a conference with
the president yesterday, urging the
calling OF congress at least six weeks
before the regular December assem-
bly,. He declared it would go far in
relieving the huge program in pros
pect from the flood control and farm
relief problems and the framing of
revenue legislation. Senator Jones.
republican. Washington. also in a
call at the White House approved
the proposal.
In the event a special session is
called it will be the first ordered by
Mr.. Coolidge since he became presi-
dent almost four years ago.

Itching Piles
Relieved Instantly With
New Discovery

No longer need you suffer the tor
lures of bleeding, itching tender
piles. A marvellous new scientific
discovery is guaranteed to bring
quick, soothing, gratifying relief.
The marvellous new discovery Is
scientifically correct. 1t does not
contain harmful substances like
Sulphate of Zinc, Oxgall, Lead, Tan
min, Opium, or Cocaine. 1t does not
merely deaden pain. 1t actually
soothes and restores a healthy con-
dition to the infamed membranes.
You will be amazed at the Won
derful relief even the first days
treatment brings. The inflamed
membranes seem to lose their tender
soreness. Itching seems to vanish
almost like magic. And because the
lubricating properties of the new
treatment remain for a long time,
normal bowel action Is gradually
made possible and little by little the
agonizing condition disappears.
The marvellous new treatment is
known as Prox and can be obtained
at all drug stores.
