Alexander iw Old
TT ISN'T generally known, but Alex
- arnder is only four months joungcr
than Johnson. Tlio Cub star will be
thirty-four just n week from next Sat
urday, but lie. hasn't been over the
major league route as long. Although
born only four months apart, Johnson
beat Alexander to tho Big Tent by four
j cars.
Tin- big ICnnsan was an established
star beforo the Ncbraeknn was ever
heard of.
This Into start may be the barilcr in
Alexander's way w hen it comes to o or.
hauling his main rivals. He needs 105
moro wins to catch Matty and (i0 more
to nip Johnson, ccu though the latter
doesn't ndil on another marker.
Which ou can gamble ho will, plus
nineteen or twenty this season alone.

Baseball nt the University of l'cnn
sjhnnin will get Into full swing this
afternoon with the reporting of tho In
field nnd outfield candidates for tho
Bed and Blue nine.
The pitchers nnd catchers have bad
the advantngc of a we'ek of good weather
to get their right and left wings into
shnpo for one of the hardest senpons
thnt over confronted n Pcnn nine. The
excellent weather of the last week nnd
tho prospects for a few more days of It
has induced tlii coach to nsk for more
pep In the drills. Tho tw triers spend
but a half hour throwing to the catch
ers and nftcr Inking n lap around the
track arc sent to the showers.
With the outfield and infield candi
dates expected to number more than
seventy-five, Franklin Field will be nn
extremely busy place from now until thu
close of tho University In June. Be
cattso of tho lack of space on the field
proper tho candidates will be forced
to work out In the corners. The wooden
track that occupies moro than three-
rourtiis of tltc field will not be lifted
until about March 1, ns the trackmen
nave several more meets, principally
the ono in Illinois on Marcli C. Until
the track is removed Conch Cariss will
bo hard pressed for space.
On the dally progrnm until tho field
Is cleared Coach Cariss hos slated mild
throwing the boll, bunting nnd fielding
bunts nnd riming nround tho track.
Tho candidates will be Impressed this
jcar with the necessity of keeping In
excellent shape throughout the senson
because of the hard schedule of thirty

basketball team until lid injured his
ankles in the Temple game and was nil

outfield candidate.
Thcro is n wealth of veteran and
freshmnn mnterlal for the outer-garden
positions. Herman Harvey. Bud
Mcrs, Joe Straus, Mike Whitehlll nnd
Btidine arc all men of experience in the
dtitficld. McMullen nnd Mnhnffcy,

there were fifty-six starters, but only

"In Jersey there were plnjers like

They planned to have fic flights but the
