By H. C. HAMILTON.
New York, Dec. 12.—War time econ
omics and calamity howlers in base
ball drew a simultaneous slap in the
eye today when it became known that
Grover Cleveland Alexander and Wil
liam Killifer had been sold to the Chi
cago National league club for an un
named price, reported at from $50,000
to $80.000.
Alexander, star of stars in the older
major league circut, has spent his en
tire career as a big leaguer with the
Phillies, lie has been a star of the
first magnitude ever since he broke
In. Killifer. while not rated the best
catcher in the game, has always been
considered a high class performer. The
pair has constituted one of the great
est batteries in baseball.
Charles Weegham, president of the
Cubs, still has $120,000 of the $200,000
he^brought with him to spend for ball
players. If his record as a spender
continues for the balance of the sea
son he will have duplicated the feat of
his rival, Charles Comiskey. in pur
chasing a team capable of winning a
pennant.
Weegham and Branch Rickey, de
spite reports that have been flitting
around, have been seen together fre
quently since the sessions opened.
FOR SHORTSTOP, $50,000?
It has been rumored that an offer of
$50,000 would be made for Roger
Hornsby, star shortstop of the Cardin
als. Barney Dreyfuss has sent word

the tremendous sum may serve as an
incentive to other club owners to be
gin transfers that will awaken more
interest In baseball. The deal was
tied by & string that provides for en
listment by the players. Both are
within the draft age.
Governor John K. Tener, also put
over a tig deal In baseball when he
announced his re-election, for a period
of one year. Tener will remain an in
active head of the circuit.
Most of the work will fall directly on
John Heldler, veteran secretary of the
league.

Chicago, Dec. 12.—The American
league mi scheduled to open its an
nual meeting in the Congress hotel at
t o'clock this afternoon, without any
startling player deals or radical leg
islation to disturb ths usual tranquil
ity of the affair.
The board of directors will gather In
Preaident Johnson's office at noon, and
practically everything to come up be
fore the regular session will be pre
digested at that time.
Johnson said today that the plan to
reduce the players from 25 to 21 or 20
has been practically abandoned. He
explained that no club owner at pres
ent can figure on his lineup when the
season opens because of the draft and
enlistments.
Clark Griffith of Washington. Tom
Shibe and Connie Mack of Philadel
phia, Lee Fohl of Cleveland, and Miller
Huggins, new manager of the Yankees,
were the first to arrive for the meeting.
Clarence Rowland, manager of the
White Sox, will be unable to attend
because of his vaudeville contract.

tional league made all arrangements

nual scheduled meeting here In Feb
ruary should the outlook at "that time
be as dark as at present.

i NTRODUCINC, Vivian Reed, co-
star with Eddie Polo in the new
serial of Western life, "The
Bull's Eye," the first episode of
tvhich is about to be released in thea-
tres throughout the United States and
Canada. Miss Reed is twenty-four,
was bom in Chicago, and received her
education there. About five years ago
she went on the stage, but soon aban-
doned the spoken drama for motion
pictures, and during the past three
years has appeared with great success
as a featured player in "The Tempta-
tjon of Adam," "The Princess of
i .u C " es < "Lost and Found," and
other pictures. Miss Reed has come
through her first whence as a se-
rial heroine wil' .lying colors. In the
nrst place, r, . is an actress, not just
a poser heure the camera. Moreover,
she is pretty, which never hurts any
girl in the movies, has an abundance
of nerve, and is a tireless worker.
Here, indeed, is your serial queen, and
Predict that her work in
the Bull s Lye" will raise her to the
highest pinnacle of popularity.
-AND SOLD! °
As an auctioneer Montagu Love is
a very fine motion picture actor. At a
recent ''smokes for soldiers" affair Mr
Love was trying to sell a large basket
and not bein K able to get an
Bffer from the audience started the
bid himself with $5. This aroused a
spirit of rivalry in the breast of an
Intoxicated gentleman, who raised the
bid to ten, whereupon Mr. Love said
fifteen and his competitor went to
twenty. The auctioneer, surmising
that his inebriated friend would go on
Indefinitely, tilted the price gradually
until it reached $40. At this point his
bidder went sound asleep and left the
basket of fruit on the auctioneer's
hands at a rather fancy but self
imposed figure.
THE KNITTING°CRAZF,
"I understand," said Mae Murray,
the other day, "that now all the pic
ture actors, as well as the picture
actresses will have to knit in their
leisure moments in the studio. Of
course, the fascination of it will get
them, and won't it be just too funny
to see Bill Hart grinding his teeth in
a close-up while his hands are peace
fully knitting? And Doug Fairbanks
will always be leaving his knitting
needles about, under foot, for people
their second appearance. They drew
on the first. Morrissey is given a
newspaper decision in the second go.
Patsy Corrigan Is now managing Mor
rissey's affairs and judging from the
way Patsy Is getting by with his worin
he Is making good. Morrissey will
probably remain down in Oklahoma
until he has taken on all the light
weight prospects In sight.

BUYS HIS DAD A SHOP
An interesting fact was brought to
light recently in the making of the
latest Petrova picture, through the
presence in the cast of Freddie Verdi,
the six-year-old boy. In real life the
child of a New York barber, Freddie
has appeared in several Petrova pic-
tures, and through his work as a
screen player has been able to pur-
chase for his father a modern barbet
shop in one of Mew York's large down
