The Hartford Courant today says that Jack Mack has received several offers for Belanger, both cash and O gaerwise, but nothing has as yet been put to him sufficiently strong to induce him. to part with Jerry. The Waterbury Club is also after Belan- ger, having offered five players for the heavy clouting first sacker. Mack is credited with saying 'No" to that proposition.
 Mack is quoted as saying at fle Eastern League meeting in Pittsf1eld that he has quit getting rid of play CTS. He mad Redmond, a leading Aackstop, while he will hang onto Henne [ and Bach, his pair of star southpaws.
