 ALAN J.0ounD

Two of the greatest pitchers of the last two decades come to the crossroads this year, where either may strike another good year or hit the train that leads to oblivion.
 No names have been any more illustrious in the flinglng fraternity than Herbert Pennock and Grover Cleveland Alexander. Pennock, one of the great southpaws of all time, has never been defeated in worlds series competition. Alexander, who ranks with Johnson, Matthewson, Walsh and Young among the fore most right handlers of all time, has studded his career with come-backs and sensational performances.
 Pennock was not of much service to the Yankees last year. Neuritis made his pitching arm virtually useless and it is question whether lit will respond to workouts this spring. If not, he probably will retire for Pennock is comfortably fixed after nearly 20 years of ma jor league service and needs seek no minor league occupation. Alexander, back with the Phillies after dozen years in the West
 with the Cubs and Cardinals, showed signs of slipping again last year, although he managed to score enough victories to put him ahead of Mathewson's National league record of 372. "Old Pete" has trav- eled a rough and boisterous path way which has been anything but the well known straight and mar row. Alex's convivial spirit has often been his undoing but his great right arm has kept its con- trol and strength for a long time. He was thought to be through when the Cubs sold him down the river to St. Louis, and most every one knows how big a part he played in helping the Cardinals win two pennantS.
 Sam Breadon, St. Louis club owner, thinks Alex has at least one more good season in his arm and looks for the change of scenery to benefit him. The Phillies will welcome any contributions the vet eran can make to the winning col umn.

U. s. HORSES TRAIN
 FOR ENGLISH RACES

TELSCOMBE, England, March IS Fourteen American race horses owned by c. J. Ryan, New York sportsman, are in training in this isolated Sussex village for compe- tition in the seasons flat races.
 Most of the horses, which are participating in one of the greatest sporting ventures in the history of the English turf, never have been raced before and little is known about them.
 The horses arrived in England from New York just before Christ mas and immediately went into training under the supervision of J. P. Loftus, who rode two winners in the Kentucky derby and who has hidden Man O War
 He is assisted by a group of English stable boys, all of whom lave grown up in the saddle. Eight of the horses are two year olds and the rest are three year olds.
 Telescombe lies far off the beat en path. Only rough cart track leads to the village from the main Brighton-Newhaven road and this helps the shroud of secrecy over the training of the horses.

It is. worth noting how success ful many Of the famous old time batteries of baseball have become.
 Alexanders former backstop, Bill Killefer, with whom he was sold to the Cubs, now is managing the St. Louis Browns.
 The noted Washington battery of pre-war days, Johnson and Street, also has joined the mana gerial ranks. Barney is starting his second year at the helm of his old Club, the Senators, while Gabby Street is taking a whirl at piloting the Cardinals.
 Mordecai Brown and Johnny Kling were famous in the days of the old Chicago Cubs. They are out of baseball now, but Brown is a wealthy oil man located in South ern Illinois, while Kling has a di- versity of interest centered about Kansas City.
 The score that was good enough to tie for the National Open Golf championship in each of the last two wasn't worth dime in the Savannah Open, where the Smith boy and the Jones boy went wild, tallying 278 and 279, for the 72-hole route.

New Britain Favored Fem

Congressman Fenn was believed to have had second place in the hearts of the New Britain delegation to the congressional convention where they intended to cast at least one ballot for Mayor George A. Quigley
 When Congressman Fem visited Mayor Quigley recently to discuss the situation, it was said that they ar rived at an understanding by which Fenn would throw his strength in the convention to Quigley if the con- gressman realized that he would have no chance to defeat Colonel Seymour.
 Reporters reminded the congress- man that Willard B. Rogers, who is managing Seymour's campaign, claimed an overwhelming majority of delegates, and he replied: "Ill shoot Rogers claims full of holes"
 It was obvious today that Mayor Quigley had not been advised of Fenn's intention to withdraw from the race. It is reported that yester- day he released the New Britain delegation from it's agreement to support him and Fenn and that each candidate would have received half of New Britain's votes if a contest had taken place.

TRADING IN BONDS
 DESULT0RY AFFAIR
Bulls Take Heart From Late
 Rally Made Yesterday

New York, Sept. IT P'-Dullness ruled the curb market today as pivotal issues held an upward trend.
 A firm trend was in evidence from the start of the session as the bulls took heart from the late rally yesterday that was successful in checking the sagging tendency to which stocks have been subjected since the close of last week. They failed however, to attract much support for an advance except in a few instances and trading became stagnant with the ticker frequently idle
 Utilities at which the bears ham mered on Monday, and Tuesday with some success were fairly well supported and such issues as Flee tric Bond and Share. United Light and Power A, American Super power and American and Foreign Power Warrants were very firm.
 Some profit taking developed in pubic utility holding company war rants. The strongest feature of the group was Missouri, Kansas Pipe Line which is believed to harbor an extensive short interest. Covering operations carried the stock well back toward the price which prevailed before the recent reaction, on which it sank to a new low for one year.
 Some of the specialties profted from the improved outlook in specu- lative circles. Deere rallied several points. Safeway Stores second war rants were strong. Technicolor, which has been very weak, moved upward. Bell Telephone of Canada was pushed up within a point of its years high. New buying developed in Mead Johnson.
 Petroleum stocks held their own but that was all, pivotal stocks hard ly budging. Insull Utility Investment was strong stock in the investment and holding company group which was steady to firm. Call money re- newed on the curb at 1-2 per cent.
