Many a Victor Spoils His Future After the Spoils Have Been Handed Over to Him

Bia Alec Showed His Gameness, Says Erskine Mayer

Red Sox Could Hit Alexander, but Not When
They Needed To—Shore's Great Work Spoiled
by Tough Break in Eighth Frame. ‘
By ERSKINE MAYER.
(Bx-Oracker Pitcher, Now With Phillies.) |
YU just have to hand it to Big Aleq. That boy is game And
to his gameness and pitehing ability, along with the steady
work of our whole elub, is due the fact that we now have
ohe game 1o the good in the big series of 1915
L '”‘.-‘; The Phillies won beeause they deserved to.
o ! Both teams played great ball until the eighth in.
s g ning. Then came the break—and it was the Bos
-3 . ton team that broke. It wasn't mueh of a break
§ ! Seott just failed to get over to second fast enough
P j ona puzzling play. But that little lapse—not
: § even an error—gave Baneroft a hit; put two Phil

‘a7 { Shore in his steady pitching stride, and gave us

\—— B We took it—and there you are
¢ \‘ . . .

% § good for the opposition. Being a pitcher
¥ § myself, |am in a position to realize how well that
R ¢ B! big fellow worked. Some of the fans are pointing
{\ Ay $lO the eight hits obtained by the Red Sox, and
" :1“. et acking what was the matter with Big Alee
For the answer, you can look at the final score—in runs, not
N hits. Eight hits, strung out throngh eight Innings And only
one of them came in a place to cash In
1 eall that n:a-.pu:hlu. 1
A.\'D I'll tell you something else.
Grover was pitching his own
e-o‘ He dldn’t try, as many thougnt
would, to “pitch it past” every- |
body. He set no strike-out mrdaw
although he used the whiff stu |
n-plonlvzo« can ask the Sox. lut“
he reall what a sot of pitchers
pever do seem to get into thelr skulls
—that there were eight other men
in the game. And Big Alec had con
fidence in his support. He calied on
them for their help—and they came
through. And now Big Ales, after
his first victory, is chipper and fuil
of pep; and the old soup-bone hasn't
a twinge or an ache--he could go in
there to-day and work just as bard

hat comes of pitching with the
o!d bean as well as with the wing.
Alee Aldn't fan a dozen And curve

for another start rl(h: now.

O.b‘ course, it takes courage and
nerve to pitch that way, with
20.000 crazy fans yelling their heads
off, and the fate of the game riding
on every ball, maybe. But that !s
just what T am telling you-G. C.
Alexander showed gameness as well
as pitching ability in that first game.
Ard 1 want to say right here that
those Roston hitters have not been
overestimated. [ respect them hearti

Alec, but, then, he was cool as a
cucumber all the way.
- L -
l WOULD like to go into every sin
gle Inning., because every one
brought up fine bits of work by Alec:
but that would take too much space,
and T think the first two frames will
serve to gshow how he was going.
They started out to be tough going,
because when the first man up gets
on., and gets on with a single, why,
vou know yow've got ta go some If
the inning is to turn up blank for tha
other side—especially when Speaker
and a lot of guys like that are com
ing up.
- - -
ALEC and Hooper had a little jock
eyving in the first inning. Alec
wmfl{!n'f give himea good one, and
three balls were called in a row. It
looked to the stands as if Alec was
wild. but he wasn't. He was just off
the corners. Then Alec came a little
cloger and two strikes were called.
Hooper looked good on the next one—
a fast curve—and hit it neatly to cen
ter. Scott laid down a sacrifice bunt,
and then Alec did some fancy piteh
ing to Speaker. I say that In spite of
the fact that Tris walked. Alec ab
solutely would not give Tris a good
one—and that is what takes nerve.
He knew that he'd better have a man
on first and the chance of a doubla
plav thag to give Speaker a good ball,
and he worked the corners as close as
1 ever saw it done, Klem called some
awfully near ones that time, and
finallv. with the count 8 and 2. Alec
was just off the corner and Tris was
on. Alec shot the first one up to

everything was all right. And, sure
enough, Lewis didn't even get his
chance. Alec was thinking all the
time, and liobby was too anxious--
and before he knew what was coming
off Alec had nipped him and the in
ning was over.
. 0 ¢
N Oow, that is PITCHING. And
here's some more.
The same identical situation came
up in the next frame. Lewis got hold
of one and Gardner sacrificed. With
a pinch hitter like Barry up, Boston
looked to have a rosy chance. But
Alec was sending up that old ball
where Barry had to hit {t—and with
so much stuff on it that all he couid
do was a weak bounder into Alec's
hands, and Lewis was nipped between
second and third. Then Alec decided
it was no time to monkey with Cady.
He tried the backstop on one a little
off color and Cady would not bite.
Then he whipped over a called strike,
and then another—his speed was
dazzling Cady swung wildly at an
other and fouled it. Alec was work
ing carefully and wasted two just off
the edge, trying to make Cady bite,
He wouldn't. So Alec wheeled up a
terrific hook—and it was strike three,
And he was out. or. another hole,
-
THAT‘S the way it went dll along.
They could hit Alec—yes. But
'not when they needed to. His con
trol was perfect—and 1 say that in
‘the face of the fact that the lone run
off him came from a pass to Speaker
in the eighth. Alec simply would not
‘give Tris a good one, and Tris was
‘ton good to hit at the bad ones. He
got to second on the second out, and
then Lewis reached out and got hold
of another—and the score was tled.
That was the last kick.
‘ - - -
[N the ninth two pinch hitters were
wasted on Big Alec—lif Luderus
hadn’t mussed one up, they wouldn’t
have got one on. Barry fanned for
‘the first out, and I think he missed
the last strike at least a foot. I nev
er saw anything like the stuft Alec
was using, because there were only
three more outs and he had it to
burn. And thep 12 w.as all over.
;' SEE I have used up an awful lot of
| paper telling about the pitching,
‘and I ought to add that this fellow
Shore worked a wonderful game him
self. If it had not been for the break
in the Boston infleld, there is no tell
ing how far that game would have
gone, for we weren't having a bit of
luck with Mr. Shore. But I will tell
you this—if we hadn't scored again
the final result would have stood 1-1.

WELL. I have said muht'y little
about the hitting part o it, but
others will tell about that, and the
flelding—and there was less hitting
than fielding, I can tell you. This fel
jow Shore has the goods, and we look
for more trouble when he comes up
again. .
But you keep your eyes on G. C

wanee and Georgla Tech will have to
work harder for a victory over Ala
bama than any of these colleges ever
did before is the opinion expressed by
many authorities of the gridiron sport
who have witnessed the work-outs
that Coach Kelly's line has been tak
ing this fall With the Howard game
a matter of history, the thing that
most impresses one is the way in
which the Crimson and White line
takes all comers,
From end to end the forwards are,
except center, as hefty as anv crew
that has appeared on the campus in
a decade—which means at all. Mors
ton and Love, ends: Vandegraaf and
Rogers, tackles; Burks and Samford,
guards, and Maynor, at center, coms
pose the most experienced as well as
the best fighting bunch of linemen in
the South during the present year.
Alabama's llne will rank with the
very hest. The work that it is doing
and appears capable of doing justifies
almost any prediction, however rash
it mav seem,

Bil Donovan, manager of the Yanks, made the statement some days
ago that he would not be surprised if Mayer's underhand delivery
did not cause the Red Sox a lot of
trouble, basing his assertion on the
showing that Jack Warhop used to
make against the Boston club.
Mayer and Warhop have similar
pitching styles, but Mayer has much

' WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT IT
By PAT MORAN.
Manager of the Phillies.
Every ball player who has been in
a world's series knowa what it means
to win that first one—the jump game.
This wa did. Some may say that Alec
was lucky, but | don't think so. He
got himself in many holes, but he
pitched himself out of them with lit
tle strain. Now that we have won the
first one—watch us. | really don’t
know who | will pitch to-day. The
man that shows the most stuff will
get the assignment.
By BILL CARRIGAN.
Manager of the Red Som.
Alexander beat us yesterday, but he
surely got away with a luck win., The
breaks were all against us, but were
not hollering. We now know what
Alec has got and | really think we
will hit him hard next time. | don't
know who Moran will send against
us to-day, but | am confident my
men can hit any pitcher he may use.
1t will be either Leonard or Foster
for us, and | think either will win
hands down. |
By GROVER ALEXANDER.
Rtar Pitcher of the Phillies.
Well, | beat them the first time out,
and | surely leo|:reat to-day. | am
not goina to predict what | will do’
the next time, but, if necessary, | am
