ITHAT SOUTHLAND CALL IS A REAL CURE FOR
$ HOLDOUTS
RAPIDLY
f JAUNT DRAWS NEAR
St lt .
flayers-Suffering With Writer's Cramp Now Smearing
the Spencerian Stuff on
Early Call Ty Cobb
it i
4
rrUlS,opti season for holdouts Is rapidly drawing lo a close Blgleasuo
, ball 'players who have- been suffering with writer's cramp for Ihe last
two months will take a turn for tho better, smear their Spencerian stuff
on tho contract and rest up for the next holdout con-cntlon, which will
be called to order ono year hence.
A holdout Is a holdout until tho t-ea-on starts. If the dub on nor
weakens anoVcomes through with a raise much Joy results, but If thero
ts nothing dolnc In getting a raJso In talary tho old figures look healthy
enough for ono more season. A flock of contracts should pour into the
offices of the club owners until the teams Ieao on their tialnlug Jaunts.
Only a few tall players hae carried out their threats to rotlre In
tho .past. They flgute It Is better to ktruggle along on fho or six hundred
, a month during the ummer than beating tho factory whistle at 7 a. in.
and working until 5:to p. m. at J3 lwr da- That is the best argument
against holding out and It hau brought many plajers in lint
The big holdout of toe season, however, is none other than Ty Cobb.
Tyrus has not yet signed a contract and no one Is certain that ho will.
His old agreement, which oiled for a $20 000 &alarj, was up last 3 car, and
perhaps he wants more. At any rale, Cobb is in a position to retire If ho
cares to and will bo a difficult man to handlo He has been receiving ths
largest salary oer paid to a bill pl.ijcr, but was worth it as a gato attrac
tion. He also kept Detroit In the race for the pennant. The chances are
the Georgian will be well taken care of, hi ho 1b too aluablo a man to
keep on the sidelines.
Joe Bush also is recalcitrant. He admitted It the other night, and
says ho will not play ball this jcar unlets Harrv Frazee boostB the pay
check. Bullet Joe lives in Philadelphia and has been working at Cramps'
all winter.
JJXLESB Joe falls in line soon he is likely to miss the lied Sox
U boat, which sails from A"eu ork next Monday.
Writer's Cramp Would Have Helped This Holdout
A GREAT ball p!aor once decided to become a holdout and put ocr
something new which brought him a slight increase In salary. It was
about eight years ago, and the player, whose numo wo will not mention,
was the best pitcher the White Sox e er had Ho w as successful tho pre
vious ) ear, won many ball games and becamr a big attraction at tho gate.
Charley Comlskey sent him a contract, which was returned unsigned.
A few weeks later a letter arrived, containing two pages of perfectly good
and well written reasons why an Incrcaso in salary should bo granted.
There were many whjs, wherefores and be it rcbolvcd stuff In the note,
all of which, did not mako a hit with Comlskey.
He threw the letter on his desk, sala he wouldn't come through with
another penny, but finally relented and gao tho plajrr one half as much
as he asked. That was satisfactory and the contract was signed.
The day boforc tho club left for the training camp this plajer blew
Into town and visited the Old Roman It was Just a friendly call but on
the player's side only. Calling the athlete Into his private office, Comlskey,
opened up on him.
"What do you mean by sending me that lawyer's letter last winter
when jou kicked about the contract?" he demanded
"No lawyer never wrote that thero letter," replied the player.
"Who wrote it?"
"I did." r .
"Do you mean to tell me," stormed Comiskos , ' that you handed me
all of those wherefores and whereases and worked a typewriter?"
"Surest thing you know," was the answer
"Quit kidding me," said Charley. "You are talking through. our hat. '
Tou never wrote that note; ou had a lawver do the Job and t can proyo
it. Anyway, jou would have received $1000 moip It ou had mado the
kick yourself.
((MOW listen. I knou) you didn't write a hut of that letter, be-
cause I saw one you. had loriiicn to your tailor on the Xorth
Bide. Remember it? WcXl, you. said, 'Please make m-c a blue suit
like the other one.'
"And do you. know that blue Mas spelled 'li L-K-1V7"
Russell Gardner May Purchase Cardinals
mHB St. Loolo Cards aro, likely to change ownership in a very shott time.
J-The community plan has not worked out very well In the Mourd City
and the, 600 stockholders aro said to have disposed of their holdliga to
make a sale' possible. Russell Gardner, a wealthy sportsman and b-other
of th Governor of Missouri, Is ready to take ov er tho club, and is in New
York today conferring with President Branch Rickey and Vice Presdent
Jones on the purchase prjee.
The Cards have been slated for the auction block for years Vor ame
reason or' other there never was enough money to conduct affairs pjjp
rlythere were few purchases of players and the team struggled along in
last place. The fans deserted them and very slim crowds turned out to.iee
the games. It has been a losing proposition, and the only thing left, to
do was to sell the club.
It is almost certain that Gardner will be the next owner. He has tie
money to get good players, and If the price Is not too high an announce
ment of the change can be expected
If the deal goes through it will
change hands-. this yeai. Sfoneham
over the Braves, thus proving there
money in our great national pastime.
Owner Grant stepped into a bunch of trouble at the start. Ho paid
his ball players what he thought they
some and fired others. Most of tho
still is on the waiting list. The Stormy Petrel has a 110,000 contract, but
Grant says It Is too much. He wanted to cut lt,put Charley objected.
THEREFORE, llerzoo is slated Jor another job and probably will
land" with the Yankees. It is said he has been waived out of
" the National League.
fTlHIRTT members of the Phillies' ball club will depart for Chai lotted

SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS
JACK HAGEN, the famous trainer,
"came up smiling" this morning.
For many months John has been
worldng with the boys at League Island.
As he Is an authority on boxing, he
devoted much time to this branch of
sport In the practice drills, he located
one boy who possessed fighting ability.
He was a memoer or tne u, a. marines
This marine was so good that he soon
was made an assistant boxing Instructor.
This assistant annexed the service
title a few months ago when the judges
awarded him the decision over Sailor
Burke at the Service Club Despite this
triumph, tho champion, Al Thompson,
was unable to get a chance at one of the
local clubs.
Jack JTagen tried to convince the
promoters that the marine had the goods,
but It was futile Finally Johnny Burns,
of the Cambria, decided to take a chance.
On Friday night, March 21. the service
champion will meet Willie McCloskey In
the Cambria semlwlnd-up. Then watch

FRENCH WONDER

Mile. Lengleii Anxious to
Tour This Country and
Meet Molla Bjurstedt
STILL UNDER TWENTY
IJ) ROBERT T. PAUL
Mc
OLLA BJURSTKDT, tho Norse
wonder, who Is to the tennis game
what Ralph De Palma Is to the auto
mobile sport, Is going to be put to the
supremo test this Hummer, whether she
remtlns In this country and defends her
title as the national women's singles
champion or takes a trip to England to
add the tlngl sh crown to her already
long list
According to the reports which are be
conlng more numerous as the summer
rolls near. Mile. Suzanne Lenglcn, the
French girl whose plajlng against the
American stars abtoad has renewed ten
nis Interest In France, is bound to meet
Miss Bjurstedt When It ivvas stated
that Miss Bjurstedt would default her
American title to try for the English
one, Mile. Icngleu announced she would
compete In the London event
But since thut time the NorBo sen
sation has changed her mind and nt
piesent Is undecided where to play In
June. She told Joseph Jennings, chair
man of ihe tennis committee of the
Philadelphia Cricket Club, wh'ch club
staged the women's championship sev
eral weeks ago, that she didn't know
definitely whether she would go abroad
(Sr remain here. She still Is keeping it
a secret and the many women players
who have hopes of winning a national
title afe. on tho anxious bench
May Play Hero
vBut not to be outdone, the French star
ha. hinted thut she would like to make
a trip to this country. This, of course,
would mean her entrance Into virtually
all the leading tennis tournaments. It Is
not known when she will make tho trip.
Tennis devotees In tho East are hoping
that It will be In the spring so that she
can play in the national event at St.
Martins
Only a short time ago, paired wIFFi M.
Negro, a professional, she defeated Cap
lain n Norrls Williams and M. Alber
ran In a five-set match. Her tlctory In
doublet over Captain Williams lends
color to the claim, for Williams and his
partner had a chance after the first two
sets.
The London Field says that Williams's
lack of practice must not be overlooked,
but the attention which has been given
the match shows that It has at least set
the tennis experts thinking. Harry Mac
Ncal, the professional at Heights Ca
sino, In Brooklyn, knows Mile Lenglcn's
game of four years ago very well and
speaks highly of it.
Mies Bjurstedt Has Improved
Every ono who Is familiar with Miss
Bjurstedt's record believes that sho has
Improved measurably since 1017, when
her matches with Mlsa Browne were tho
feature of an exhibition schedule played
for the association's ambulance fund.
The fact that this Improvement Is
marked leads h,er admirers to believe
that she would be able to defeat Mllo.
Lenglen, while Mlsa Browne's friends
aro equally certain that she could turn
the trick.

rpHE real American gamo Is regain-

guesses the average follower of ath

ball? No. Football? No. Track? No.
Lacrosse.
It hasn't been more than a decade
and a halt ago when every man who
reported for ths team automatically
became a member of the varsity aggre
gation. Some seasons games had to be
canceled because there were not enough
players. Not so now. Any student
who makey the 'Red and Blue lacrosse
twelve Is a crackerjack with the stick,
for thero are a half hundred or more
who are trjlng to take his .ob from hint.
Lacrosse has had a varied career at
the University. It has been only re
cently that It has gained real popu
larity, yet It dates as tar back In his
tory as the old Indian tribes, when the
game was played with crude hand-made
sticks and the goal posts were a mile
apart It Is classed as the oldest game
in the sport annuals, j.et It Is compara
tively unknown
Squad Too Big
Under the guidance of Coach Clar-
enco H. Goldsmith, the progress of the
game has been developed to such an
extent that tho Hed and Blue tutor
now finds himself with a squad too big
to handle and get satisfactory team re
sults. Heretofore Coach Goldsmith has paid
more attention to the Inexperienced
player than to the veteran, with an aim
of making the game popular as well as
taking care of the physical development
of tho Individual. He has divided his
time among the candidates without
laying stress on team work. This .car
things aro going to be different.
Within a short time a group of the
best players will be selected and Coach
Goldsmith will direct all his energy
toward building up a team good enough
to lahd the Intercollegiate championship,
one honor that never has gone to a
Red and Blue combination.
Eleven Veterans
Of the sauad of seventy-odd candi
dates there are eleven men who have
played the sport at the University prior
to this season With these men and
others who look best. Coach Goldsmith
will spend most of his time, and he Is
sure that the final twelve will put up a
great battle for the title. The eleven
veterans are Captain Tank James, Val
Hattlmer, Waxman, Strasser, Downs,
Dreyfus, Well, Schaub, DeKorn, Temple
and Frey.
" Besides the men w ho are out for the
team already, two new candidates who
know something about the sport will re
port next week. They are Bud Hopper,
the All-American football end, and
Heine Bourne, the University champion
llghtheavvw eight boxer.
Nine games will be plaved during the
season, one with Syracuse, Hobart,
Stevens, Lehigh, Johns Hopkins, Cres
cent A. C, and Yale, and two with
Swarthmore It also 1b probable that a
contest will be arranged with the Navy
at Annapolis.
Some cars are sold through appearance,
others because of extreme power or operating
economy, but the man who wants a perfect
combination of all these necessary elements
buys a Stutz.
