HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Jan. 2fi. The Cin cinnati Reds and the Cincinnati fans are in the throes of a winter cam paign for the National league pen nant. Cincinnati never saw a world's aeries. As a'matter of fact, Cincin nati has only come close to the top of the heap since baseball began to send husbands home to their dinnom late and break up domestic bliss with Its arguments, Cincinnati has found Itself possessed of the batting champion of the National league, u shrewd manager and a fine ball park So Cincinnati has it all figured put that the Redo arc a dark entry. Cincinnati does possess a splendid baseball club, and, blessed with, a manager of wholesome ideas arid horse sense, is going to makrvfroubje In tho'first division." AS;a new clilb, it must be pointed out thnt-th,e start of the season will have a great deal to do with where the Reds iinish. As matters now stand Cincinnati may suffer a very heavy blow, for it looks very much as if Fred Ton'ey would have to spend a year or so explaining why he claimed exemp tion from tho draft. If he kicks off the tnthralling loops of the rope which scorns to have entangled him stock of the Reds will soar for the huge righthander is one of the best pitchers in the business. Some idea of the strength of the Hcds may he gathered from the neatness with which they' executed tho Cleveland club last fall In a post-season series for the champion ship of Ohio. Most of that strength holds over. There is no reason why 11.. Tl 1.. ,l,n,l.lnlt ..Inlit lilt; iit:ua riiuuiwu l ut-giii iifeui whore they left off.' Manager Mathowson figured he would have, an improved infield to begin with In 1018, through the ac quisition of Morris Rath, hut that youth proved to be attached more srongly to whipping the Kaiser and he Joined the colors.

Tho pitching staff, pro vided it retains Fred Toney, Mike Regan, Tete Schneider and Hod El ler, looks well in comparison with other staffs. Mathewson believes in Gerner and Dressier ho has picked up two brilliant youngsters. Gerner comes from. tho International league strongly recommended.

Connie Mack picked luq 'spnounqp oSood sqi uioij uuq decided he couldn't bo moulded into a major league fieum j The Hods should not finish lower than, they did a year ago. With their tremendous batting strength and with the cockiness that goes with their success they are bound to make a strong finish. That they will win a pennant, howover, does seem to be stretching it slightly just at this period.' ALEXANDER SOON WILL RE . , A "HASBEEN, SAYS BAKER By H. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Jan. 24. The sale of Grover Cleveland Alexander to the Chicago Cubs did more than merely shake the foundations of tho National league with n cold and rasping rattle. The news laid hold of Philadelphia skeletons as it skidded up and down Peacock alley and rattled the old bones of hidden Philly skeletons until mag nates, fans and critics almost trem bled. William F. Baker onnnpd nn tv,n casket and displayed tho bones of the careiuuy hidden skeleton. It seems that Baker grew considerably peeved when criticism bee-an to hie head for the sale of his star bat-1 tery. So he Immediately began giv ing his reasons and spilled the news that Grover Alexander is one of the boys who do not keep themselves in the best of condition. Alexander, according to President Baker, was sold for just that reason, Baker does not believe Alexander's effectiveness will be so pronounced next season, and declares he sees a beginning of. tho end for the power that lurks in tho famous pitcher's right .arm. He believes if he had tarried a year to cut the strings that bound player and club together his star's value would have decreased un til it would have touched at about $15,000. Alexander's habits, accord ing to Baker, arc rapidly cutting the star's worth and soon will lay him among the hnsbcens. Baker, however, declared he parted from Alexander with the friendliest of feelings. He pointed to the brilliant path the star right-hander has left as a monument in Philidalphia and as serted there isn't another pitcher in the business who would have been able to keep up under the strain of such work. The case of Killefer, who goes to Chicago with Alexander, according to Paker, is considerably different. There is a distinct pcevo existing in Phili- delphin over tho way Killefer has act ed. He antagonized Baker last fall at the end of the season, according to tho club president when he flung himself out of the Philly office and announced he would quit baseball. He had been informed a salary cut would be neces sary. According to Baker, Killefer was on the market and would have been traded to some club without Alex ander being included had the Chicago offer not come along. Another cog is expected to be knock ed from the Philly machine, before spring. Fled Ludoius, it is said, will be released. Was Fooling All Run f)nvn.
