Alexander Says Control Keys Big League Stay
Grover Cleveland Alexander, 42, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher, tells United Press he plans to stay in the big leagues two to three more years, attributing 75 percent of his pitching skill to control. He recalls his 1926 World Series relief role, denies being drunk, and says he pitches by targeting hitters and depends on team support, accepting that not every game can be won.
