EASTERN LEAGUE sTALLINe.
Magnates All at Sea-Nothing Has Been Done Towards Arranging Cir

The Eastern league is apparently blufhng along without any definite idea to the makeup of the circuit for 1917 and without nay real assur- ance that the organization will be in existence. President Dan O'Neil isn't saying a word, and when Dan isn't talking there surely isn't anything to chatter abodt The league isn't even ions. Everything is at a standstiH and even the club owners admit they do not know what will be done in the spring, if anything.
 The Eastern league took Portland in at a recent meeting, not because they wanted Portland, but so as to block the territory north of Worcester and keep any other league from springing up. All last season the league directors kicked about Portland being in the league. They said that another season would see Portland dropped and there wouldn't be a chance of that city just soon as there was talk of an- other league coming into the field, Portland was taken into the Eastern.
 It was given out that Lawrence had been taken in the Eastern as the eighth city, but it has never been decided that Lawrence will be in the league this season. The announcement that definite action had been taken is in- Lynn, Lawrence and Lowell have been protected by the Eastern league. The league has these three franchises.
 President O'Neil tells about the millionaire he has in Lawrence but he doesn't come out f1at-footed and say Lawrence is in the league. Nothing has been done in Lawrence to close a deal for the grounds, and there is nothing to show that the Eastern in tends to take in Lawrence as the eighth club.
 Fans would like to know who the Lawrence millionaire is and all about i'm enlighten them Surely the Eastern is pulling some funny stuff and the pres ent actions will not gain the conf dence of the baseball public one bit The public has been leery ever since the deal was slipped over organizing the ten-club Eastern league, and now the poor, old public is more leery than ever.

Philadelphia. Feb. 2o.-Grover C. Alexander. star pitcher, of the Phila- delphia Nationals, today declined an offer of s10.000 a year from William F. Baker, president of the club.

He demands $15.000 and declared that if his terms were not me. he would quit baseball.
 After long conference with the pitcher today President Baker said Alexander had made it plain that he did not intend to recede from his original stand. q offered Alexander. s10,0o0 a year." said Baker, and I think that is all we can afford to pay. He would not even consider 8 two year contract at these term, so made no further attempt to talk business with him."
 Alexander said he had no intention of modifying his demands. Unless MT. Baker changes his mind" he de- clared, there will be no agreement Things stand the same as they did be- fore the meeting and perhaps a little worse"

 The question of strengthening the Athletics was discussed at length, l hear, while the American league men were in session It was rumored that Mack had asked for waivers on Bush, Schang and other players, but this was denied by President Johnson. It was admitted, however, that when the time arrived to cut each American league team down to IS players Mack would be allowed to have first chance to se- Iect desirable talent. In fact, it was hinted that the Athletics might secure several valuable players from the other clubs in the Johnson circuit in return for cash bonuses.
 Mack and the Shfbes spent consid- erable money last fall for minor league material, with the result that Mack has some excellent youngsters. including Second Baseman Grover, Third Base man Bates and Outfielder Thrasher But Mack needs at least two high class pitchers of experience and it is under stood that he will pay well for them if they can be obtained.
