ALEX SEES BAKER
FOR FRIENDLY CHAT
Famous Pitcher Misquoted
and Probably Will Settle
Salary Difference.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-THE
conference between William F. Bak-
.er, president OF. the PhilIies, and
Grover Cleveland Alexander, Pat
Moran's pennant-winning pitcher,
which failed to materialize through
misunderstanding on Thursday,
took place at the clubs headquarters
yesterday. No contract was signed by
the big pitcher; in fact, terms were
not discussed, but the conference was
a friendly one, peace was declared
and there is every indication that the
controversy will be settled amicably
when the two meet again here on
Tuesday next.
There is not such a big difference
between Baker and Alexander that
the matter cannot be adjusted. Alex
ander is reported to be holding out
for $4,000, but has been misquoted
a great deal, and this has resulted
in considerable warm feeling between
the two.
In sending Alexander a contract
President Baker named salary
which seems rather small in the face
of what the pitcher demands, but
the club executive has since said
that he is willing to talk business
with Alexander, and il is almost GER
tain that he is ready to increase his
bid

they're all willing 10 do business. but
there isn't a first-class fighter who is
ready to help stage the affair.
Toms manager today began efforts 20

heavyweight, into bout. Miske out
weights the youroer Gibbons scrapper
by about twenty pounds. but he says he
doesn't care for that if he can just in
duce Miske TO get into a ring with him.
''Some Of that recently gained popu-
larIty will retire from the Miske family.
then" Tom declares. Il have whipped
Miske and l can do it again. II the

l guess I'll step into the light hcavies."
Toms manager claims for him that.

He is popular there. and probably will

NEW YORK. Feb. 17.-President
Johnson and Governor Tener have an
nounced that in future organized
baseball will not recognize the play
ers, IL they should keep up their fra
ternity. Somebody asked Johnson
yesterday whether a reorganization
of the Fraternity headed by a COM
mittee Of players would be regarded
with favor by the big leagues. John
sons reply was emphatic.
I'VE are through with the players
except as individuals" he said.
They will be treated with great
fairness by the National Commission
as in former years If they see Mt TO
file grievances.
"But, II they continue their fra
ternity in a new guise they will not
receive recognition of any kind. Such
an organization should not be en-
couraEed. The recent attitude of the
players hurt baseball beyond a ques-
tion of doubt. II the game cannot
be governed without assistance from
the players. the ball parks should be
closed"
