GROVER ALEXANDER, one of the baseball greats. kept his money in circulation during his Heyday in the majors, and when Old Pete spent it it stayed spent. Bad luck and age finally overtook the marvelous hurler and last reports were to the effect he was pitching in practice for the Chicago Cubs* batters during their spring training in California. Working for coffee and cakes, not much else, and trying to put the ancient wing in shape to last out another summer independent working a few innings now and then for the House of David barnstoimers. It is said Alex made a fair living last, year by frequent exhibitions on the mound with the David boys, but his appearances were limited to a few innings at a time. It’s been a long, hard road for the once mighty Alex who when at his peak, disposed of the best of the hitters in tantalizing fashion. Training rules, however, vexed Pete, and when he hitthe toboggan it was a swift slide.
