Alexander, Veteran Pitcher,
Beats New York Yankees
in Final Game.
AFPLE CP.CP REDUCED
New York.- Orover Cleveland Alex
finder came back In all his ancient
pitching mastery to check the Yan
kees for the third tim and clinch the
first world's baseball championship
that St. Louis bus known in 40 years.
In the seventh and deciding game
of the 1!26 diamond classic, the Yan
kee defense cricked to yield the Car
dlnals their winning tn':ri;!n of 3 to 2,
but II was Alexander who saved the
day with as dramatic and exciting a
finish as any championship conflict
has ever witnessed.
The bases were full, two were out
and only one Yankee run was needed
to tie the game in the seventh inning
when Alexander came to the rescue
of the Cardinal rlgh' hander, Jesse
Haines, whose finger was split from
throwing his knuckle b:.l and whose
control was ebbing fa.it. It was a sit
uation calculated to Uat the stoutest
heart and the most seasoned skill,
with ."0,000 and a world's champion
ship hanging In the balance, but
Alexander was equal to IL
Fuclr? Tony Lczz"H. a rookie, al
most young enough, to be l'n son, the
great v..eran hltchtd his trousers,
called on the power of a right arm
that has carried him through sixteen
major league campaigns und struck
out his man to retire tho side as the
crowd broke into a frenzied uproar.
Safely past this crisis, the most
dramatic moment of the game, Alex
ander easily subdaed the Yankees In
the closing two Innings, yielding only
a pass to Ilabe Ituih in the ninth aa
he completed one of the greatest
I itching exploits in world's series his-

BY EARLY MATURITY
Wenatchee, Wash. A complete sur
vey of north central Washington fruit
dlnrlct made by state and federal of
ficials, field agents, railroad Ins pec-1
tor, shippers and growers. Indicates j
tin t from 3u(m) to 4000 cars of apples ,
have been lost as a result of early j
maturity of the crop. As the fore- I
casta of the size of the crop varied
from IS.mit) to 13.000 cars, this would
redure the final yield to between 15.
O'W and 1C ooo cars. The general be
lli f Is that the crop would have over
run estimates slightly but for the I(.-s
frcm dropping, so l.ouo cars Is ac
cepted as the outsiue limit by the
shippers.
Kx:,rt opinion Is unanimous that
no Injury whatsoever was done to the
