' J biggest stars yet to sign. Ills three loading pitchers aro an

tho remainder of his outfield It Kauff goes to war. Resides the
Ilornsby case. ltlckcy confronts .1 mutiny w hlch Includes hid entire
outfield, consisting of Cruise, Jack Smith and Long.
Rickey Follows Baker in Holdout Policy
BAKUR was tho first club chief to flatly unnounco a. policy of going
ahead dcsplto player salary objection and of supplanting thoso who
failed to adapt themselves to present-year conditions. Rranch Rickey now
comes out with a flat foot on the samo pUtform, mid his remavks are con
strued to mean Rogers Ilornsby and the rest of the unrogenorate. Ho de- 4
clarcs that ho will bo In a position by tho opening of tho season to flit any
gaps In tho mikc-up, and he backs tho assertion by starting on a visit to
Chicago and Cincinnati In a chase for new players.
The St. Louis highbrow stands upon plausible ground, which ho defines
In the following well-chosen language:
"I do not expect scleral of the 1017 Cardinals to bo with tho club
during tho coming season. As n result, 1 am trying to ilnd players to till
their places. I do not expect to get talent Just as good as tho players 1
refer to, but I will do tho best I can, and I am positive tho public will agree
with me in such a course,
"Casting aside all personal leferenccs, it Is plainly apparent that somo
of tho players do not appreciate tho extraordinary conditions existing In
baseball. This docs not apply alono to the Cardinals.
"I have tried to be fair with all parties. 1 have offered the best I felt
justified in paying and I can do nothing further In tho matter. If they do
not feel disposed to como In at a reasonable price under war conditions, the
next best thing to do Is to find substitutes for them."
m
TI1R Card president states further that tho public seems to be In
tho samo boat with the players to this extent; it does not ap
parently realize the urgent necessity of retrenchment along ull lines
It the gamo is. to come through during wartimes. He ulo states
positively that Ilornsby will not be sold under any conditio!-.
StalliKs Also Is Master Machine Wrecker
ABOUT the onlytltlo that has bn handed Connie Mack of late is that
.of undisputed Champion In tho art of wrecking world-beating baseball
-outfits. AH accounts have It that nobody even was in tho class of tho
" astute "A" magnate for ruthlessness In tho respect named, torao having
gone so far as to say that Connie did the Job with the samo dogreu of glco
and eclat ns a German spy dropping a monkey wrench into a delicate
piece of machinery.
Candor compels the admission that t'onnio has 11 competitor and that
the samo is none other than your Cnclo Oeorgo Starlings, whose cataloguo
of faces for the coming season resembles tho celebrated 1914 outfit that
hazed tho Giants and then tho aiacumen luuy as mucn as a j.ustian unu
of the Vintage of 1914 does ono of the Bolshevik variety. Tho 118 cast, In
fact, Is minus all but two of tho notable visages that decorated tho onco
whirlwind squad. These aro the smiling countenanco of Red Smith and the
Wry face of Dick Rudolph, who declares that ho declines to accept a trading
stamp contract.
Tho noted team's line-up included Rudolph. Tyler. Cruther, IJavis,
Cocreham, Hess, Strand, Gowdy, Whaling, Schmidt, Rvcrs, JIaranvlllc,
Smith, Deal. Connelly, Gather, Devore, Gilbert, Mann, Moran. AVhlttcd,
Martin, Dugcy and James. One by one tho stars slipped through the
fingers of Stalllngs like tho sand that runs In the hour-glass. Some wcnt
X hy trade, others were sold and still others resigned.
1
TIICRU is at Iast a chance of one more of the gloat squajf coming
back this jcar, according Jo report, which stafes that Bill James
has asked for a contract and is willing to como all tho way from
California to prove that ho yet has tho w ell-known game of his life
concealed In the old soup bone.
Pitcher Who Killed Johnny Dodge Holding Out
TjlRlTiJ MAISELi.ls reported to nave signed a Brown contract and word
has It that Fielder Jones s troubles ha 0 been reduced to worrying with
holdouts Hank Severeld, Leo Magce and Coast Outfielder Ken Williams.
This news docs not at all dovetail Into the reports from Gallatin, Tenn.,
the spot made famous as having perpetrated Hub Purdue. Xot that Hub
is among those seasonod players proposing another llfo on earth this season.
12 ! The original Gallatin Squash now is satisfied to ease himself down pitching
EA.i! on some Southern .League team near home, where ho can get back to tho
St t?jcalves and tho pigs on Sundays and somo whole week-ends.
'Ui0 Tho news relates to Hub's protege, soumern .ucaguo leading neiu-

fc opportunity on account of an Injured arm. Rogers almost is as soro as
tPlng Bodle. lie, too, nnas inai jiioueru uiaiiuKcis nro weuriiin m casn
'register In tho wrong place. Rogers absolutely Is posltlo that with tho
encouragement of a nice contract this season ne would pucu tno game or
Jhls life.
One tragic event figured In Rogers s big season In tho Southern while
helping Manager Roy Rllam, Conshohocken boy, win a pennant for Xash-
fyville. Johnny Dodge, former Cincinnati nhortbtop, playing then for Mobile,
t stepped into one of Rogers's fast ones, received It In tho temple and died
Qthe next day.
IT WOULD seem as If the Browns would give the pitcher another
chance on 'his 1916 record, for that year the now holdout w on
twenty-four games. Last season he almost broke even with the
Browns, winning five and losing six games.

cording to thoso xvho saxv tho final re
hearsal this act should make a "hit"
with tho patrons of the South - Broad
street arena.
Dan McKotrlck. manager of Soldier
Bartneld, has something to say about
tonight's battle. He strenuously denies
that his man xvlll put on an act with
Ted Lexvls and predicts the fans xvill
say after It Is all over that It xvas one
of the hardost scraps put on In this city,
tor some time. Pan has a reputation as
a high-class, fair and square boxing
manager and Is anxious to maintain It.
For that reason Ills xlexvs'aio printed
in this column.
Fought Hard Battles
"Bartfleld and Lewis haxe fought
somo hard contests," writes McKotrlck.
"In Buffalo, Toronto and Columbus the
flitlo scribes xvero unanimous in stating
that the bout xvaa the hardest fought
In months. Buffalo scribes even xrent
so far as to say that Bartfleld' and
Lewis did much to save the game that
was fast losing prestlg through poor
bouts. Surely the.e writers know soma
thing about boxing.

Puts Issue Squarely
1 do not regret any mote the fact that
I xxas debarred for engaging In a sport
ing goods business that had as part of
Its stock the sale of clubs and balls.
Neither nm I unusually or moderately
elated at the notice of reinstatement. If
I haxo to sex-ere my business connections
with tho firm of Oulniet & Sullivan to
play golf as a lily-white amateur, then
I havo to sever my business connections
the consequences. I'll stick to my part- I
ner, Jack, nnd the U. 8. O. A, will rule
as as u sees nt. xve are both amateurs
whether holding forth at 52 Bromflela
street or serving tho United States Oov
eminent." At tho time ot his reinstatement 1
commented on tha fact that Oulmet had
at no time stated that he xvas going to
gtx-e up his, business and propounded
tha query what xrould happen after the
war was ox;or In tho event that Oulmet
ucciueu to continue in ins sporting goods
business xvllh his parther. Ills state
ment puts the lssuo squarely beforo tho
golf officials and it would be Interesting
to knoxv Just xvhat they think of his
stand.
