BY HARRY FERGUSON

NEW YORK, April ii (UP)-The
baseball season starts here Tuesday
and among those who won't see the
opener is Grover Cleveland Alex
ander.
Old Pete hasn't got the price Of
a bleacher seat these days and he
never was much on going around
and cadging passes. At the moment
his assets consist of a plaque in
baseball hall OF fame at Coppers-
town, N. Y, but that's not the
kind of thing you take around the
corner and swap for bread and
shelter.
He was doing all right, asking no
favors and taking the breaks
good and bad-as they came until
all of them TUNED bad. Organized
baseball never could find a place
for him after his buggy whip right
arm lost its snap, but there's no
use blaming organized baseball for
that. Old Pete never pretended to
be a man who said no when some
body suggested just ore more round
You probably know what happen
ed TO him after he lost his last big
league job. He went with House of
David team for while, pitching a
couple of innings each day around
the tank town circuit and earning
enough money to buy the things he
needed and some things he didn't
need.
The SineW and muscle in a pitch
ing arm won't last forever, and
there came a time when Old Pete
couldn't even go two innings against
The semi-Dros
Two years ago l walked through
the snow to museum on 42nd
street and found Old Pete still in
there pitching for his coffee and
cake money.
He was selling memories TO the
customers at nickel head. They
drifted from the booth of a card
trickster to the place where q
woman was being sawed in half and
then TO a tiny stage where Old
Pete, in a Wrinkled brown suit,
was making nervous, hesitant
speech about the most shining mo-
ment in his great career.
He was telling them about the
seventh game of the 1926 world
series, telling them in low voice
that hardly carried above the
shuttle of feet through the nickel
museum.

well" he said, II guess you
know I was with the Cardinals and
we had won three in the series and
the Yankees had won three.
"Jess Haines started the last
game for us and along about the
seventh inning he hurt his hand.
So they told me TO go out there.
Well, there was three on base and
Lazzert was at bat. I figured he
was more nervous than I was.
worked on him kind of careful and
then l got two strikes on him and
figured Id shoot the works. I
threw him a hook and it broke
good and sharp. I always figured
he missed it about six inches but
anyway he was out, and you know
about us winning the game and the
series. Guess my times about up
now"
Old Pete had a steady audience
for months, never a large audience
and one made up mostly of small
boys who waited spellbound from
oliO" W oIlOW w llcdI llllIl Utll AGAIN
how he famed Lazzeri in the
clutch. But it was living for him
ana 1t might have led TO better
things, but just then Old Pete got
the worst break of all
He got sick and the doctors told
him he would have TO quit work
and go to hospital. More or less
by accident, some of his friends
found out about it and began col
lecting money to give him a lifi
across hard times.
Now he is out of the hospital
still weak and not quite ready tc
go back TO work. The bills are moi
knee deep, but there are plenty oi
them.
Old Pete didn't ask me to dc
anything about It, but if a dime oi
a dollar is burning a hole inyoul
pocket the man to send it to /.
