GYPSY BASEBALL IS TRAMP’S LIFE AS ALEXAHDER SEES ITOMAHA,-Neb., Oct. 29.—{$*)—Grover. Cleveland Alexander, past master of the aft of tossing the horsehlrte past the willow, is finding the one-night stand route just a bit tiring. Old Pete told all about it when he dropped into Omaha after completing another year’s work with the House of David baseball team. He has been 011-the Jump since May 10. Boy, this is restful, sighed Alex. os he eased into an overstnffed chair. Just sitting here with nothing to worry about. No more one-game stands. No more overnight Jumps. Just rest—and an occasionalglass of beer,“This gypsy Life is not good. I’d like to settle down. That's why I'd like to manage the Omaha baseball chib next year. And maybe I will,” the old master commented.Although he’s been out of big league baseball for quite a few years,: Alexanders interest still lies with I lils old club, the St. Louis Cardinals,for whom he won the world’s series In 1026. .Alex also has a word for the age lug Babe Ruth. He says: There are plenty of ,big leaguers. I'd rather pitch to than the Babe. He’s the greatest clutch hitter the game has ever seen; maybe the greatest it ever will see,Alexander then rolled the years back, turning the pages until they reached the fall of 1926 and his; appearance here in an exhibition game following the world’s series,When I walked- into the park! that afternoon I was a hero, everyone slapping me on the back and shaking hands. I wns drunk on glory. But, folks forget- you pretty | quick. You’re a hero today—a bust tomorrow’. But it’s all in the game and It’s a grand game.’.'
