Grover Cleveland Alexander has signed a
contract to pitch for the Philadelphia Base
ball Club for the season of 1917 and 1918
The premier pitcher is said to have capitu-
lated when he was offered a fiat sum of
$12500 "A year, with a war clause included
in the articles.
The agreement reached after con-
ference which lasted many hours 1t had
it's beginning at the Sports Writer'S ban
quet at the Hotel Walton Tuesday night
continued until the wee small hours of
Wednesday morning and was resumed in
the afternoon.
Alex will go TO Fitchburg, Mass Satur-
day, where with Bill Killefer his battery
mate, he will be a guest Of Pat Moran on
a fishing trip. The big twrler will leave
for the South with the club on March 6.
The consummation of the agreement
which uaIantees the Philles the services
of the greatest pitcher in baseball for the
next two years came rather unexpectedly
President Baker went over the whole situ-
alton with Alexander last Friday without
making any progress, and after Pat Moran
arrived here on Tuesday the three held a
long conference. Still they were no nearer
a settlement of their differences than be-
fore. President Baker announced on Tues
day that he had offered Alexander $4,000
for one year. but Alexander refused to
listen TO anything save contract calling
for $4,000, his only concession being that
Mr.. Baker could insert war clause which
would protect the club in case of an inter-
national outbreak
The one remaining hope the friends Of
both men held, however, was that no COM
promise had been discussed. and during the
sporting writer's dinner both sides were
approached and a meeting was finally ar
ranged. There was the best or feeling be-
tween the men, but neither made an effort
to offer anything that looked like a solu-
tion of the matter. At the midnight meet
ing, to which several newspspermen were
invited, compromise was suggested by
Manager Moran. Alexander for the first
time announced what he was willing to do
in order to remain with the Phllies and
while it appeared to be an insurmountable
obstacle, President Baker yielded, and after
a conference with Manager Moran terms
were agreed upon and the time set for
signing the papers yesterday afternoon.
