jClub Officials Plenty of Real Anxiety
i holdout season Is drawing rapidly to n close. Tho prcllmlnaty liuln-
r.season already Jias started and tlio regular and olllclnl cnnclltlonlnB
rwll! benln Trlday. Ground rules have had their rfTeJt thli fcoason
Jlprlnjlns Into lino rebellious players. Tho magnates, whether upon an
rmal understanding or not. lmo fixed special penalties ieii rrsisicr-.,
i.as requiring all not signing before the regular tialnlng seiison starts
Ly their own expenses If reporting later, vvhllo others hae gone further
ruled that plovers not reporting at tho tlmo named would io nuto-
ally suspended. Others still havo announced that holdouts at mat
i:vould bo dumped Into the minors.
iSrtlfoTr that the drama entitled "Holding Out Against the Holdouts" Is
hlng tho climax thcro would appear to bo only three tritlcjl situations.
'Of these relates to McOraw und hit (.Hants, another to ItlcKcy aim ms
and tho other to Weeghman and his Cubs. Tho New "York mogul
l"jbeen handed a new and exlng anglo to his dilemma during tho last
r days: on account of Kauff having been summoned for draft cxnmln itlon.
Ckey still has his big trouble with Hornsby and Veeghnnn has not as
If tot put Alex In light on his big bonus demand.
Rifi'lj Buck Herzog should hae been a Teuton diplomat, for when it i onus
r-o causing trouble and getting things balled up lie is a vvoiuier, ami no
eats Ills favorite stunt so often that ho i.Iwiivh Is to be t.il.en seilouslx.
may bo counted on as having something big In his svstcin when lie
Ala one of his tilajs. Now ho has two inan.iEe.rs on the grid and Is u-liig
tf'tleal transferring him to Boston ns a love-race against both McCritw
Ind Bladings In tho effort to win uuotliit war cro"-?. .licitiM the deal
Ilvver, JlcOraw would bo flat on his back for u second bji tn.iu, foi Dojic
vould go back to the lraes. Stalllngs cvlekntly Is not worrjlr.g uh murli
I McGraw, for ho already .has tnrce second basemm and l)oj l- would mal.o
ew Also McUraw would have to glo bade l'ltchcr n-irncs. upon whom
i Is banking heavily, so tho buidcn of tatlsfjlng Herog rests nn Muggsj
BUT what Is woirjlng McUraw pel haps almost ns much as tho
Herzog riddle Is tho new situation rcgirdlng Kauff, which
reopens the Hobertson case.
Loss of Kauff Makes Hobertson Necessary
fcQRAW has been dallilng oxer tho Hobertson balk and inrlcndlng
that he didn't care whether the long Virginia medico went to doctoring
rriot. With Burns and Kauff llxcd, ho has been plavln,; up Young, the
roung International League plaver, as plajing successor ami n.io
rtnln to till lib shoes. He has had the scribes keeping tho fans advised as
how good Young was, but llobcrtton did not fall for It
Now, with Kauff summoned for tho draft, Robertson looms up as n.
necessity. New York papers report the Giant chief off on another roid
surney, and It is not unlikely that Hobertson will be visited in earnest
Ms time. One paper sajs that Wuggsy Is en route to St. Petersburg, 1 la,
i hero Herzog now is.
(8t. Louis papers draw'a pathetic picture of Uianch Hiekej's piedica-
nent, which admittedly Is real. They stale that the Hornsb ltlckey mill
irlll hae to go through to u knockout that there Is no rompromlto in lew
:id that the club management confronts the predicament of not having
ran a first-division prospect or of pajliir, a salary that It can t nfford. It
principle against policy, states one paper, and tho dlllicultj of meeting
arnsby's demands Is emphasized by the fact that besides training trip
tpenses the club Is confronted with a pavment or 5U,uuu due .Mrs uritton
lay 1, with the prospect of $125,000 final pavment net ear and operating
penses sf about $1000 per day during tho plavlng fceason

.1T7EEOIIMAX possibly has less to fear from Alev. than Is 'up
1 posed. All of his season's plans center around tho gre it huilei,
and It Is virtually certain that the plajer will bo satisfied Ale
Is showing great powers of resistance, however, and still Is stand

Jftw players have had more checkered records than tho Walkets, as tho
'Mowing facts will disclose:
iKred Walker, who will be a member of the Caids' twirling staff, will
rtjoy his fourth chanco to make good in a major uniform. He had a
pl't career as a Giant, and ufterward plajed with Cleveland and the
Brooklyn and Pittsburgh Teds. He lost out with the Giants after cleaning

Jtoy Walker will havo his third try as a big leaguer. Ho was u member

natural hurler, with worlds of steam und nn Iron constitution, no
r ever has been able to handle him, and ho was turned back to tho
n League, where he started, and for tho last two jcars has had u
record with the New Orleans team, although marred by numerous
ltles with manager, plajers and the law. There Is no doubt that
ell can handle the plajer ho will have ono of tho great right-
