In the third inning his teammates began to hit Shocker, the Yankee pitcher. Score: St. Louis, 6; New York...

These and other able Yankee gentlemen fell victims to the wiles of a man whom the sports writers have in past seasons mentioned alternately as a rake and a curmudgeon, the grim Grover Cleveland Alexander. Long before the game he declared that he would win. He chewed tobacco and went to sleep on second base.
