Alexander Surprises By Terms He Makes
Philadelphia notes Grover Cleveland Alexander, star pitcher, signed a 1917 contract likely near the $15,000 he demanded after contemplating a sliding bonus. The pact nullifies if war requires a new one, with conditions on pay based on country conditions, a ten day clause, and a reduced percentage if injured. Baseball men question whether Baker's $10,000 offer with bonuses might have been wiser.
