Of the A's: Itois Younpr. of the Giants; Joe Jnckon, ot the While Sox;
Billy Southworth, of the I'irato, and many others arc In the fold, glad
to get a chance to play again, Within tho next two weeks so many ot the
players will spill Ink oer tho contracts that a holdout will not be found
outside tho dictionary.
, Signing a ball plaer Is not the simplest thins In the world that Is,
tho signing. A club owner feels like sending a package of arsenic Instead
ot a return letter after receiving a polite note from one nf his stars.
One day an owner was going through his dally mall when he stopped,
glared out of tho window and said: "Now what do you think of this?
Here's a fellow who ndmlts he is getting enough money, but If he receives
$500 more he will work his head off this season. Can jou bc.it It? What
will ho do If he doesn't get the $500? Those ball players have strange
business Ideas. Perhaps this man Imagines he Is doing mo a f.ivor by
signing. He'll get that $500 not."
Another player who was given an increase of $000 over last year'?
contract wrote back that he couldn't accept unless traveling expenses for
himself and his wife were Included. Theie arc a few examples of tho wor
ries of a baseball magnate. Is It any wonder he wears a grouch? No one
can blame a ball plajer for getting os much money as polble, but thcro
Is a limit.
F THE club owners xcould get together and decide to hold back
the contracts until March 1, perhaps better results teould be
obtained. The players trould not have so much time to think It
over and the annual holdout epidemic uoutd not be so scrloui. Why
not try It some timet
Star Players Forget the Delaware County League
A MONTH ago the Delaware County League loomed up as a formidable
organization, but of late It has subsided considerably. The big leaguers
aro not taking It seriously and no longer are tho stars threatening to Jump
to Upland, Chester, Media or other large-town clubs. Tho news that Joe
Jackson had signed with the White Sox was a blow to the league, for the
slugging outfielder was supposed to have been the big noise In tho Wil
mington club, which was seeking admission. A month ago Jackson was
ready to play outlaw baseball, but that was before tho training season
loomed In the offlng and a fat contract was shipped to tho old homestead.
Billy South worth also mado some threats, but jou will notice ho signed
the papers as soon as ho had an opportunity.
This holdout stuff goes big In January, but tho bojs are on tho Job
bright and early as soon as warm weather approaches. The truth of the
matter Is that a ball player does not care to work any harder than ho has
to especially In the summer and the veteran owners seldom aro worried
over his stories about qulttlrfg the game.
Sherwood Magee Is anldoal holdout. Ho never kids himself about
carrying the full dinner pall twelve months in the year, but when ho re
ceives a cut In salary he returns tho contract and waits for further devel
opments. We saw Sherwood at tho Bingham the other night and asked:
"Are you going to play ball this ye"ar?"
"Surest thing you know," was the quick reply.
"Got your contract yet?"
"No."
"That's funny: what's the matter?"
"Sent It back to Garry Herrmann. As soon ns Garry loosens up every
thing will be lovely. He always gets generous early in March."
!, Magee Is a great ball player, knows what ho is worth and usually gets
Herseldom annoys us with that bunk.about going back on the farm,
because we know ho hasn't any more farm than a iwbblt.
fOXXlE MACK Is signing 'cm up stou.li but surely. Eicry one
" expected to hear of a long list of holdouts, but It seems as If
the boys are being tcelf taken care of this year In regard to salaries.
With Joe Dugan back, all that remains Is to sign .George Hums and
complete that trade for llonny lloth.
Instead of Alibi, Leonard Wants Return Bout
THE! only thing missing In that I.conard-Mtchlo thing out in I'rlsco
last Friday night is a statement from Benny that he was double-
U crossed or something like that. However, Leonard Is not that kind of a
fighter. If he Is beaten he takes his medicine, and Instead of handing out
the usual flock of alibis he demands a return match. That's what he has
' done in this case, and If the bojs meet again Willie Is In for a strenuous
evening.
But Leonard received a high-class lacing from lutchle. Tor three
rounds he was hammered all over tho ring, and the spurt mado by the
champion In the fourth was not enough to even things up. Willie sprang
fcv a big surprise when he entered the ring In perfect condition. Ho did not
SS outweigh Leonard very much, there being only two or three pounds
difference in their weights. Critics at the ringside, like Tad and Hob
Kdgren, said Benny was trimmed beautifully, and even received a, black
cyc7They admit, however, that Ritchie would have been lucky to remain
if-bil his. feet two moro rounds.
fcy Speaklng'of alibis reminds us of Johnny Kllbane, featherweight cham-
feplon. who will stage a come-back at the Olympla on March 10. When
Johnny w-as knocked out by Lenoard at tho ball park In 1917, he gamely
took his medicine, cave all of the credit to his conqueror, quit boxing for
tho duration of tho war and went Into tho service. He is ono of the few
5 "boxers who never bought publicity or engaged In professional bouts while
i at camp. His work was so good that he was commissioned a first llcu-
" tenant oeiore tne armistico was signeu.
Now he Is about to tako up boxing again and defend his title against
nil comers. His opponent will be Tranklo Brown, a rugged battler, who
-Mill give him a thorough tryout. If Kllbano Is successful on March 10
El he probably will bo matched to meet Lew Tendlcr this summer.
GEORGE EXOI.E closed the Hroi.cn match at the Olympla after
months of hai'd work. Johnny u-ould not give a definite answer
until he found out for himself uhcther or not he cas able to stand
the gaff. It's pretty hard for a man thirty years old to get into con
dition after almost txco years' layoff.

The pennant In tho American Basket
ball league second half has already
been decided In favor of St. Columba,
and this week's games mark the closing
of the regular season prior to the play
off series betwein last year's champions
and Yours Truly.
Jimmy Coffey's tltlellolders lost the
first gamo last year and then ran off
thirteen straight wins. This year they
started off by losing two In a row, and
since then they havo won eleven In suc
cession. They oppose J. & J, Dobson
tonight, and the Falls combination has
vowed revenge on their opponents.
It will be recalled that St. Columba
shattered Dobson's first-half ambitions,
hence the desire to get back. The other
game ot the evening Is between S. P II.
A. and Mldvale. The youngsters aro
plajlng In good form and may hand
tho big leaguers a surprise, especially
f they happen to have a night on at
long-dlstanco shooting.
