1t developed yesterday that most of
the regulars have already signed and
the contracts were to the younger
players who were on the squad last
season and the players who have been
obtained by draft. Most of the regu-
lar members of the Yankees are
also under contract for 1917. and up
to the present time not a single re-
fusal has been received by either of
! the New York clubs from dissatisfied

The fact that SO many of the mem

strike more and more dubious. If
