Big Hurler,
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—After
watching the Phils in their last five
games at the Polo Gounds the
writer has come to the conclusion
that the team is strictly a Grover
Cleveland Alexander club, and if
the team wins the National I.eagnel
pennant, it will be one of the weak
est pennant-winning clubs ever Je
veloped in the major leagues.
In praectically all of the National!
L.eague races of the past the club!
would not have had a look-in; neither
would it have a peep-in this vear
were it not for Alexander plus an
April dash, which has carried the
club_ all season.
In forty pennant races in the Na
tional League no club ever approached l
the low water mark the Philllies are
sure to set this season. The follow

consider the present Phillies with the
three-time world's champions.
Griffith also had an asset which i 3
totally missing in the Phillies. e
had one of the fastest teams on the
bases ever put together in modern

Imagine an old-time National League
champlon with 86 stolen bases after
five months’ play.
