Red Sox Could Hit Alexander, but Not When

by Tough Break in Eighth Frame,
By ERSKINE MAYER.

Amr il tell you something else.
Grover was pitching his own
nfl. He didn't try, as many thougnt
would., to "pitch It past” every
body. He set no sirike-out records,
athough he used the whist stuf |
a-plenty —you can ask the Sox. But
he realized what u lot of plh‘hm?
pever do seem to get into their shulls
—that thers were eight other mou‘
in the game. And Big Alec had con-
Sdence in his support. e callpd on
themn for their help-and they came
through. And now Big Alee, after
his first victary, is chipper and full
of pep; and the old soup-bone hasn't
a twinge or an ache—he could go n|
there to-day and work just as hu'd‘
a game, If Pat told him to
That comes of pitching with *Ne
old bean as well as with the wing.
Alec didn't fan a dozen and Curve
himself to death doing it. He is ready
for another start right now. |
- - -
o'»' course, It takes courage and
nerve to pitch that way, with
20000 crazy saps velling their heads
off, and the fate of the game riding
on every ball, maybe. But that is
Just what 1 am telling vou—G, C.
Alexander showed gameness as well
ax pitehing ability in that first game.
And 1 want to say right here that
those Boston hitters have not been
overestimated, [ respect them hearti-
Iv. 1 sat on the bench—when I wasn't
sliding un and down it—and I pulled

Alec, bhut, then, he was cool as &
cucumber all the way.

' 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 I think the first two frames will
gerve to show how he was going.
They started out %o be tough going,
because when the first man up gets
on, and gets on with a single, why,
yon know vou've got to go some ir
the inning is to turn up blank for tha
‘ other side—especiallv when Speaker
and a lot of guys like that are com
ing up.

ALEC and Hooper had a little jock
eving in the first inning. Alec
wouldn't give him a good one, and
three balls were called in a row. it
Jooked to the stands as if Alec was
wild, but he wasn't. He was just off
the corners, Yhen Alec came a little
closer 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 pitch
ing to Speaker. I say that in spite o?
the fact that Tris walked. Alec ab
golutely 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 double
play than to give Speaker a good ball,
_ and he worked the corners as close as
1 ever saw it done. Klem ca'led some
awfully near ones that time, and
finally, with the count 3 and 2, Alec
wasg just off the corner and Tris was
on. Alec shot the first one up to
FHoblitzel with a world of stuff on it,

everything was all right. And, sure
enough, Lewis didn't even get his
chance. Alec was thinking all the
time, and lobby was too anxious—-
and before he knew what was coming
off Alec had nipped him and tle in
ning was over.
- - .
NOW. 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 it—and with
co much stuff on it that all he could
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
oft color and Cady would not bite.
Then ho 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 of another hole.
S- . .
TXIA'I”S the way it went all along.
They could hit Alec—yes. But
not when they needed to. His con
trol was perfect—and I say that In
the face of the fact that the lone run
off him came from a pass to Speaker
in the elghth. Alec simply would not
give Tris a good one, and Tris was
too good to hit at the bad ones. He
' got to second on the second out, and
then i.ewis reached out and got hold
of another—and the score was tled.
That was the last Kkick.
- - .
l.\' the ninth two pinch hitters were
wasted on Big Alec—if 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. 1 nev
er saw anything like the stuff Alec
was using, because there were only
three more outs and he had it to
burn. -And then it was all over.
. - -
' SEE I have used up an awful lot of
paper telling about the pitching,
and 1 ought to add that this fellow
Shore werked a wonderful game him
self. If it had not been for the break
in the Boston infield, there is no tell
ing how far that game would have
gone, for we weren't having a bit of
luek with Mr. Shore. But T will tell
yvou this—if we hadn't scored agaln
the final result would have stood 1-1.

They never would have scored an

WELL. 1 have said mighty little
about the hitting part of it, but
others will tell about that, and the
fielding—and there was less hitting
than fielding, I can tell you. This fel
low Shore has the goods, and we look
for more trouble when he comes up
again.
But vou 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 witnessédd 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 i the way in
which the Crimson aud White line
takes all comers.
From ené to end the forwards are,
except center, as hefty as any Crew
that has appeared on the campus in
a decade—which means at all. Mor
ton and Love, ends: Vandegraaf and
Rogers, tackles: Burks and Samford,
guards, and Maynor, at center, com
pose the most experienced as well as
the best fighting bunch of linemen in
the South during the present year.
Alabama’s line will rank with the
very hest. The work that it is doing
and appears capable of doing justifies
almost any prediction, however rash
it may seem.

W\Nf,s\\m-_ Hrooklyn he seemed to be all right again; and a
piteher with his record is not to be despised in a bear fight. Wild
Bil Donovan. manager of the Yanks, made the statement some days
ago that he would not be surprised if Mayer's underhand delivery
4id not cause the Red Sox a lot of
trouble, basing his assertion on the
showing that Jack Warhop used Yo
make againkt the Boston club,
Mayer and Warhop have similar
pitehing styles, but Mayer has much
more “stuff” on the ball than Jack
He is stronger physicaily, and young
eor. He worked in 48 games in 1914
and in 43 this year. George Chalm
ers made a strong finish, but George
had none of Mayer's «Yectiveness
early in the season, when Erckine and
Alexander carried the club along.

Gufin loft-handers bother the Red
Sox, but Moran Is practically all
out of good left-handers. He has two
Jest-handers, all right, but neither has
as yet produced a record that quall
flep him for the g;od class,

Virginia collegian, who was extracted
from an educational 'nstitution a cou.

National League umpire, is credited
[wflh elaven victories and eleven de
' featls 'n the AvVerages which are be
fore us. He figursd ir 28 games this
past season. In 1914 he was out 24
times and procured just two wins

' he was used chielly a 8 a sweeper-up
i of pastimes.
| He has never stood out to any ex
tent in point of abllity among the
Jest-handers of the National League.
Now and then he would have a good
day. but generally he was regarded as
easy picking. Withal, he displayed
enough “stuff” to warrant the Phila
delphia manager In carrying nim
'along, and some day he may bhe a very
great pitcher. He is one of the tallest
men in the game, and drops the ball
down on the batter from ‘way, 'way
up yonder. Some baseball men con

| WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT IT|
By PAT MORAN.
Manager of the Phillies.
Every ball player who has been in
a world's series knows what it means
to win that first one—the jump game.
This we 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 Soa.
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 mav use.
It will be either Leonard or Foster
for us, and | think either will win
hands down.
By GROVER ALEXANDER.
Star Pitcher of the Phillies.
Well, | beat them the first time out,
and | surely feelJ;rnt to-day. | am
not going to predict what | will do
the next time, but, if necessary, | am
ready to go back to-day to pitch my
good old right arm off for Pat Moran

lr the Sox give the Phil right-hand
ers a sound beating, Rizey will
undoubtedly get his chance: but he
will proh‘hlx"npn“m Moran's very
last line of ense. Pat has another
side-winder young Baumgartner,
from the University of Chlcago-—-but
Baumgartner s not likely to be
started. Neither is George MeQuilian
regarded as a possibility in the series,
while Al Demaree would be asother
lo.’ shot.
If you ever have pald particular at
tention to the Philadelphia fAlngers,
you must have noted that they have &
style somewhat different from the
pitchers of other clubs. At least the
pitchers who might be called Phila-
Aelphia-trained have this distinetive
style, althoush Al Demaree and
George McQuiilan still pitch about the
same as the average hurier.
Alexander, Mayer and Chalmers,
however. all have a wav of twisting
their bodles in a wind-up so thelr
backs are to the batters K!fl before
they swing around agaln to deliver
the ball. Charley Dooin Inculcated
this atyle In the pitchers, and bal
players say It is responsible for much
of Alexander’s effectiveness.
