The dirtttors of the Eastcrn League

the Providence Grays is starting ac-
tion against the National Commission
for about 62500. which he says is duc‘
him for Latcher'Waltcr Mayer, who
was sold to the Boston Red Sox last
season. Mr. Moulton says that the
commission paid the money to the
Detroit club in settlement of another
claim, which he says was purely per:
sonal betwrcn himself and President
Navln, of the Detroit club.
The Bridgeport team's claim is for
title to the services of Pitcher Alex

the New York Yankees and who be—
came a free. agent at the end of the
season because of arrears in his sai-
ary. Tire Bridgeport club contends
that by a later payment of his salary
they are entitled to his services. .
