Alexander Shakes Off Cub Jinx
Alexander tho Great shook off a "Jinx" that has followed him slnco hlB
entry Into the National League, when ho held tho Cubs to two hits, struck
out nine batsmen and shut them out. The Cuba always have been the hardest
team In tho league for Alexander to defeat, and never has he been able to
start off tho season with a victory over the Western team. Every Bcason
Alexander has been beaten by the Cubs Just when ho seemed In a fair way
C.5 to go after a consecutive victory record.
ander his first dorcat of tho season after
Is only one of tho many Cub upsets, and
f'.tlng and not through tho breaks of luck and bad support.
t
New Tactics Cause Downfall of Slugging Trio
Three men have been mainly responsible for this inability of Alexander
ijg to beat tho Cubs In the past, and they
'ho worked each of theso sluggers on
lecclvcd many slow balls, whereas in
tutsldo. Zimmerman was not given
. I'hllly Pitcher recalled what Heinle
given fnst calls outsmo and very low curve balls to hit at. Whether Moran,
Klllefcr or Alexander is responsible for this change Is not known, but it is
certainly n change for tho better, and
by tho Cubs again.
Zimmerman Actually Failed to Kick
Heinle Zimmerman came In for his usual Joshing from tho crowd, but for
the first time in his career ho never noticed the bunch. On tho whole, Zim
merman's actions surprised tho crowd.
and even then he did not get boisterous, as ho usually docs. When Bresnahan
told him to return to his position, ho obeyed, something that would havo been
marveled at a year ago.
Klllefcr caught Zimmerman napping off third base In tho second inning, and,
to tho surprise of the crowd, Zimmerman walked meekly to tho bench. There
was no question about his being out, but In the past ho would havo kicked on
general principles. Altogether, thero appears to bo much better feeling In tho
Mt club with Bresnahan as Its leader. If
wytempcr, tho Cubs should go well throughout the season, but Roger has nover
b. Been ame to control ntmseir ncrototorc.
Umpiring Poor, But Becker's Kicking Foolish
Beals Becker's action In klcldnfr himself out of thn enmn wn honriincn
though It must bo admitted that ho had
to tho third strike called by Emplro Eason. It was not getting iBecker anything
to object In such a manner, as there

Manager Moran was quick to reallzo

Gnrry Herrmann Lets Cat Out of tho Bag
Garry Herrmann is ouoted in a dispatch from Cincinnati aa saying that
It will be necessary to cut tha players' salaries before tho close of the present
IMason unless conditions improve. If the players refuse to accept these cuts
PU will be necessary for some to glvo up the "ghost." according to the way
IIerrmann was quoted.
If Herrmann really mado this statement, he unconsciously handed the
IJFederal League a boost that will bo worked to the limit, because so far as
can be learned not a Federal League magnate has expressed himself aa being
in favor of such a step and none has admitted that the baseball war has
tlnanclally embarrassed him.
The magnates are more to blame for the increased salaries than aro the
blayers themselves, and it is out of the question to suppose that players will
Sallow the clubs to break contracts that they have fought in court to compel

BASEBALL CHIEFS RAP
HERRMANN'S CALAMITY
HOWLS AND THREATS
Ban Johnson, Comiskey
and Huston Declare Pro
posal to Cut Players'
Salaries Is Ridiculous in
the Extreme.
CHICAGO. May 26. Garry Herrmann's
statement that the country's basoball
craft was likely to go upon tho financial
rocks this summer wns disputed today
by President Comiskey. of tho Whlto
Sox, President Ban Johnson, of tho
American League, and Captain Huston,
of the New York Yankees.
'"Thero Isn't a question but that Herr
mann is wrong in more than one way."
asserted President Comiskey. "I can't
understand why he is making a holler
now Why didn't he do it before tho
season opened, at tho tlmo ho was sign
ing up his men to contracts. If his pay
roll and the gate receipts do not bal
ance. It shows poor baseball management.
If I take in J18 at my gate I am not go
ing to slip 23 to my players, but I am
going to pay my men what tho contract
calls for, even If I havo to stand a loss
during some off years. However, I try to
conduct my business In such a way that
In tho long run I break even.
"It may be a bad baseball year, al
though I am not ready to admit It Tho
weather hns been abominable, and that
has hurt the attendance, but at tho same
tlmo baseball, in order to succeed, must
be conducted exactly tho same as uny
other business; you must at least break
even. Those who do not, have no busi
ness in baseball, and they aro not base
ball men. Did jou over hear of an es
tablished firm talking about throning up
tho sponge Just becauso the receipts
were falling off under certain conditions
"The Idea of cutting tho players'
salaries during tho season is absurd. You
haven't heard any American League
owner making a kick, have youT You
aro not likely to, either, Wa are going
to meet our obligations, business or no
business. The trouble with a lot of
owners Is that they commit themselves
too deeply, and when receipts begin to
slump they blams the conditions existing
at that precise moment."
"If Garry Is kicking because of poor
business It must be because the manage
ment has been bad," said President Ban
Johnson. "Herrmann should cheer up.
The American League Is not making any
holler, Herrmann was wrong in giving
out that Interview,"
"I am not kicking on the business we
have dene," said Captain Huston, of the
Yankees, who are playing here. "I have
been busy traveling around the country
looking over the ball stands, with a view
of putting up one of our own next year.
That should be an answer to the criticism
of hard times,"
"Herrmann probably knows what he Is
talking about," said President Gllmore,
of the Feds, "so far as bis own club Is
concerned, but so far as our own league
Is cpneerned I guess we wilt worry along.
I have seen no distress signals in our
circuit."
