Among teams reported to have adopted the custom of tequlrlng placrs
to carry their own effects and put aside trunks aro the Yankees, Braves,
Tigers, Cardinals and Indians. Managers of all of these tennis alieady have
given their orders for tho outfits and ball players on the teams named, at
least this season, may be seen carrying two grips each. Thirty grips and
bat cases have been ordered by the Boston Braves, a description of which
follows. They aro to be custom mado and will be Just large enough to
accommodate a man's uniform, his shoes, sweaters, gloves, etc. Skeleton
tcel cases will be covered with khaki In the club's cdlors, with each grip
Inscribed "Boston Braves" and the name of the Individual owner. The
grips wllf bo taken Into tho sleeping cars by the phi era and will be made
jm that they can be slipped under the berths.
J Johnny Kvers recently advocated that the players should return to tho
old days when they used to ride to and from the grounds In a barge, dressed
In their playing togs. The return to the custom of having each player carry
ytfjtUi own baggage nt least is a step back toward 'the good old days.

THE recent agitation about the need of moie hitting may meet a
natural death 'as the result of the return to the habit of plajers
carrying their own effects. Tho custom .should so Increase arm

other and higher plans for Its hero. It wants to see him come inarciilup

he and Ole Sam decided to try It out
and a search was made fur a town to
put on the Initial performance. Finally
L Denver was decided upon, piobably be

It was a tenlble mistake, as Norfolk

Till: subject of this little sketch Is one
of the best of tho younger golfers In
tho country. Not of the very youngest,
for as a matter of fact ho celebrated
his twenty-fifth birthday on the fourth
of January, IBIS, and In France. It
was his misfortune to appear n llttlo
after the famous group of Chicago boy
golfers who had tilings mostly their
own way for a while nnd mado It very
hard for the one who camo immediately
after them. '
Fraser Hale has played golf all over
this country and In Kngland and France,
and everywhere his showing has been
creditable. From the very start ho has
had to work against seasoned players,
and always ho has put up a good fight
IIo had a good beginning at golf. His
father was a charter member of the
Skoklo Golf Club and Fraser played
from his earliest years. His first In
structor was Jlmmlo Watson, at that
tlmo one of the most famous golfers
In tho country. Then, too, there Is the
story of a Scottish grandfather, J. a.
Darling, who was a distinguished golfer
In the old country.
Loses Thirty-ninc-Hole Match
Fraser was a valued member of tie
mldwcstorn team that played in tho I'a
clflc northwest In tho early spring of
1913. That year playing In tho western
championship ho carried Warren Wood,
the eventual winner of tho event, to the
thirty-ninth hole. In tho national and
Garden City that year tho slender, twen.
ty-j ear-old Mrlpllng fought the veteran
Travis to a standstill, finally losing by
a small margin.
In 1914 Fraser Hale wns one of the
Americans who played In tho last Ilrlt
lh championship. He went over later
by several weeks than Travis and Out
met, and a week or so earlier than I. He
employed his tlmo before tho tournament
In playing over leading British courses,
and made friends everywhere. Ho was
defeated In the second round of the tour
nament by Ivo Whltton, the Australian
champion.
In both of these rounds he was up
against first-class players. Contrasting
his game with the leading two eastern
players he shows more than favorably.

HOLD-OUT FEVER HITS
BALL MAGNATES HARD
Less Than 30 Per Cent Old and
New Players Under
Contract
NliW YOllK, Feb. U
The gang of holdouts now bringing
sweat out In large lumps on the brow
of major league magnates Is not a
result of a concerted plan by the Base
bill Players' Fraternity to make the
magnates come through with more
money At least It Isn't so far as Da
vid L. FulU knows, and Dave, being
the holdover president of the fraternity,
rays he would know If such was the
case.
But the holdout fever Is epidemic and
rampaging through the payroljs of every
major league club In the country. As
a matter of fact, there are very few
which have slgnW enough men to oven
claim tile rudiments of a baseball team.
Even the New York Giants, a club which
declares Jt has most of Its players signed,
must own up to lack of contracts from
George Burns. Jim Thorpe, Dave Rob
ertson, Fcrd Schupp, -Poll Perrltt and
Slim Bailee,
Ot course. It Is possible that some
other president or necrtlary or some.
thing has taken over the duties of FulU
In the Players' Fraternity and has told
the bovs to snurn their contracts, but
Vultz says nay. He believes the ath
letes are only, asseriins ineir rimo.
Anyway no matter what the cause, it
is a. fact that less than 30 per cent of
last year's ballplayers and tho new
spring crop ha,ve condescended to affix
their signatures to the papers.
