There is little chance for Grover Cleveland Alexander, premier twirler for the Chicago National league base ball ieam to enter the navy instead of going with the April draft quota from Howard county, Nebraska, the famous pitcher's home, according to a state ment made ' here today by Captain Walter L. Anderson, representative in Nebraska of Provost Marshal Gen eral Crowder. Unless ' Alexander is navy from high military authorities at Washington, he will have to go with his contingent from St. Paul, Neb to Camp Funston, Captain . Anderson said." "Alexander had all winter to join the navy if he wanted to," Captain -Anderson said. fOur general orders are to release no registrants for the -navy after they have been called for duty in the armyfcnd there is no reason why Al'Stander should be taken out of his present quota". Cody Wants Him. : Captain Lee Metcalfe, private secre tary to the governor, received a mes sage from Camp Cody this morning, carrying the wishes of 6,000 Nebraska soldiers that the governor use his in fluence to have Mr. Alexander as signed with the rest of the Nebraska hnvi frt Camn CnAv Tli nmA him J vmn f W J .

The secretary of "Alexander's draft board called state headquarters for the selective service draft for advice in connection with Alexander's request . for permission to join the navy. The secretary said that Alexander stood in the April quota as the tenth man in a list if 12 to go. He was told that unless Alexander was able to induce the higher authorities at Washington to grant his request, he would have to go to Camp Funston during the five-day period, beginning April 26.

IT is, of course, to be presumed that Fred Mitchell, manager of the Chicago Cubs is quite grief-stricken over the loss of Grover Cleveland Alexander to the army. The snatch ing away of the world's greatest pitcher would make any manager weep. But Mitchell can find solace in at least one feature of the Great Alec's departure it offers an excel lent alibi in case the Cubs finish in the second division. And have no doubts, Mitch will use it. Pa's Luck. The training season of the Rourkes this year will be Rouri.-s bank ba a total loss to ra Rourke's bank balance. Pa-will have to foot the bill for an entire month of training and not a dollar will be brought in owing to his inability , to card pre-season exhibition games. The only big game Pa has booked is the affair next Sunday with the Camp Dodge team and the entire re ceipts go to the army boys.' Pa's only piece of luck this season was his sale of Cy Forsythe for $200. That is 200 bucks Pa is gloating over yet. The Coy Gutta Percha. To soothe the rising wrath, manu facturers of golf balls announce that the advance in price of the 1918 pills is offsctjpy the superiority of the new brand over the old. Perhaps, but it is our hunch that the 1918 article will stray off the fairway and into the high grass, register affection for the sandtrap and fight shy of the cup about as oftetvas the 1917 species. A golf ball is a golf ball and an ornery creature no matter what the manu facturer may say. 'loo Suspicious. A Chicago paper intimates that a little betting coup was . set to musk, by the wise boys wlien Jock Malone and Bryan Downey met re cently. Mafone ruled a 7 to 5 favorite and Downey captured the bacon. ' The Chicago paper should be less suspicious and distrustful. Surely the modern Alexander Haniiltons who eke out their existence in the prize ring, would never stoop to 6uch a level merely in order to horn into the corner on the money market.
