Must Go With Others.
V Lincoln, Neb.. April 16. 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 . All J ..VV . 1 It..
on th? ball club, Six thousand wishes
was the best they could do, but a bill
player never was known to consider
wishes as a consideration when sign
ing a contract, and this time the big
pitcher will probably have little to
say besides.
. , Goes to Funston.
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.

Wielding
BY FRED S. HUNTER.
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.

Rourkes to Play Soldier
Team From Crook Saturday
Bill Jackson'sAVestern lpague hope
fuls will play an exhibition game with
the 41st infantry soldier team from
Fort Crook at Rourke park Saturday
afternoon.
The Fort Crook soldiers are report
ed to have a nifty organization, which
includes several ex-professionals. Re
cently they played an Omaha amateur
team and made so many runs the
storekeeper lost count in the sixth
inning. They expect to give the West
ern leaguers a rex) scrap for honors.
Nebraska Storage Battery
Team to Play Plattsmouth
The Nebraska Storage Battery base
ball tram, an independent organiza
tion which will play most of its games
out of town, will open the season
Sunday at Plattsmouth. The battery
nine is reputed to be a fast aggrega
tion and capable of putting up a stiff
battle against the crack teams Ne
braska towns boast each year.
