By the Assoclated Press. Grover Alexander, he of hoary thatch, still wears with digni- ty the appellation of “Alex Great.” The burden of 41 sum-, mers, not to mention winters, appar- ently rest lightly upon the broad shoulders of this old knight of th baseball wars. Entering upon his 18th major league season, Alex turned back the . champion Pirates without a run in the lists at §t. Louis yesterday while his Cardinal mates triumphed by o to 0. Thus the “great one,” now the oldest moundsman in the game, with | the single exceuption of Jack Quinn | of the Philadelphia Athletics, seems destined for anothcr glorious cam- + paign.

C, and the first prac- tice of the year will be held at the Pereival .avenue grounds Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. From pres- ent indications, a swarm of candi dages is planning to attend the ses- sion and although little can be done except preliminary work, officials of the club hopé to get a line on some potential materfal. The appointment of a manager will be delayed for a few weeks, the board of directors of the athletic as- soclation acting as a governing board for the present. Selection of a coach will probably also be made after the second or third workout. All candidates wishing to try out for the South end team are invited to turn out Sunday afternoon. None of the places on the team have been filled and the best men will be sc- lected according to their work in the practice sessions. The enthustasm among the Ken- sington fans is warmer this season than it has been in recent years. Little groups of the dyed-in-the-wool rooters have been discussing the prospects of the team during the coming campaign, and with the offi- cials of the club feeling as they do, there will be plenty of action on the diamond in Kensington this year. Falcons’ Workout The Falcons will turn out tomor- row and Sunday afternoon at St Mary's fleld and a livelier program {han last week I8 scheduled. Coach Ray Begley plans to line the men up in various positions and in different squads to get a line on their ability. Considerable interest in both the team and individual scoring races has been shown by members of tha teams and followers of the “Y"” Ine dustrial Basketball league. This in- terest will come out in full force |tomorrow night at the Stanley jarcna when every team in the lcague will take part in a. card of four games, the last of the season. It is a fitting way { s¢ the In- | dustrial league for 1927-26. Follow- jers of every team will have their |last opportunity to see their fav- | orites.

With a trophy as their prize, the first five scorers who are gtill |in a position to reach the top will i strive for top Wonors. It is probable that fellow members of the team Wwill aid them. However, the winner will not be decided until the last game of the night when Paul LaHar, who is leading by five points, will take his regular position as forward on the Fafnir team, and Nick Arena, Ma- chine shop forward, will play in the same position as the two teams meet each other. At present the first five are Las Har, Arena, Jasper, Yakubowitz and Luke in the order named. Luke wmr out of four or five games at mid- |season because of infuries. He wan the scoring championship last year and the year before. ' Three years ago when the league was formed, Joe Jasper was the winner.
