: NEWS AND GOSSIP OF I
I THE WORLD OF SPORTS I
I
A SPLENDID T.
By H. C. 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. Russell Iilack-
burne, twice sent back to the min
ors as a failure, has been obtained
and may take tho second-basing Job
off tho hands of Dave Shenn.
Built in the infield nro 'the Im
movable visages of Hal Chase, Heinle
Groh and Shortstop Kopf. They're
good enough for any ball club. Out
fielders there are worso than the trio
composed of Sherwood Mageo, Tom
my Griffiths, Earle Noalo and Eddie
Rousch.
The catching staff i3 excellent,
Tom Clarko and Ivy Wingo to bear
the brunt. 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. Dressier has
oeen up before, his first time with
the Athletics. 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.
