I'M NOT DONE YET

BY HENRY M'LEMORE
United Press STAR correspOudenl

ATEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Grover
IN Cleveland Alexander came to
New York today for the first time
without a baseball uniform. He ar
rived here alone on business"
The famous old pitcher is alone.
He admits it. :.
"There's no use denying the facts"
he drawled. 1T seems mighty
strange being here alone without the
boys, the excitement of before-the-
game time.
But I'm not through with base
ball. 1t may think it's through with
me. but it's wrong. I hope to be in
there winging 'em across for a
major league outfit next year. I
plan to go to Hot Springs about six
weeks before the 1881 season starts
and try and get in shape"

"XIOU know" he continued, I'm
not the rounder they believe ]
am. I've had my beer ever since
was knee high to a duck, but If
drank all the liquor credited to
Newell, I Just could hold it all.
"If I contracted double pneu-
monia and rolled over and died,
everybody would say I'd passed out
on bad liquor. Even if five doctors
and three nurses were around.
But I'll tell you one thing" Alex
said. IF I had my whole baseball
life to live over again I'd never
drink a drop. That is, outside of a
glass or two of good beer"
TITS pitching arm, according 10
II Alexander, is about as good as
it has been for the last five years.
It's not his arm that bothers him,
but his legs.
'If I can get those darn legs In
some sort of shape, / can still man
age TO fool my share of batters.
After being given his uncondi-

went to Dallas in the Texas League.

"The first game I pitched it was 1l2
in what little shade there was. When
the seventh inning rolled around it
wasn't a bit less than 240."

LouShines
Gehrig Makes Comeback
at Plate After Poor
1929 Season.
p YOU are not satisfied with Babe

Up you are not satisfied with Babe
i Ruth as the reason for the
Yankees being in the first division.
how about giving first base the once
over? Here is a young man fight
ing for the batting leadership OF the
American League in his twenty
seventh year Of life-Columbia Lou
Gehrig, the durable Dutchman.
One June afternoon in 1925, the
late Miller Higgins cast a glance
over the Yankee bench, and babe
Lou take Wally Pipp's place at first.
Lou has been there since. Last
year Lou seemed to be fading both
in batting and fielding, and there is
a little story in baseball psychology
there that can stand repetition.
Somebody, at the beginning Of the
1929 season, casually remarked it
was going to be a great year for left
handed pitchers and bum season
for left-handed batters. 1t ap-
parentIy sank into LOUIS soul; he
often quoted it during the cam
paign. He worried about it. Where
he had batted .374 in 1928, he wound
up the 1929 campaign with mark
rarely 300.
TTUGGINS used to call him "the
II perfect physical ball player"
which was a two-edged compliment
coming from such satirist as the
Little Giant.
He has the wrong kind OF nerv-
Gus and mental gear" the Hug
used TO say of him.
But in Gehrig's case. a sharp in
ventory OF himself produced remark
able results. Today he has come
back. He is establishing himself
as one Of the most valuable players
in the league.
LOUIS mother keeps house for him,
in New Rochelle, N. Y AS long as
she lives, says Lou. he will not take
unto himself wife.
7 on is a different type from
II Babe Ruth, but these two
whose home run rivalries are in
tense. are close friends. Ruth is
a frequent visitor at the Gehrig
home, where he can eat just as
many picked cells as he likes. Be-
tween Lou and Babe, most Of NAM
ma Gehrig's time is just one picked
eel after another. Babe calls Mrs.
Gehrig Ma"
Hug used to think Gehrig lacked
natural baseball sense.
Take Ruth and Gehrig," the
Hug said once, land you can't find
two other players whose success IN
the game has been achieved by such
contrasting styles. Ruth got no
farther than the eighth grade in an
orphans home. but Gehrig had two
years of university study. But Ruth
can think twice as fast on the dia-
mond as Gehrig can"
It may be as Hug said-that ne
can be out-thought-but for dura-
bility he's hard to beat.
