St. Petershurj;, Flu., .Match 4
THE held-up league received n jolt when Dahc Ruth virtually came te terms
with his owners and 1 exported te sign the papers at any minute.
On the heeN of tliU startlltiK nc came an niinenuccmcnt tlint Carl Mays
also had signed and the principal holdout Yankee had returned te the fold.
All of whhh furnMii'd the chief topic of conversation In the open-air
Meeting In front of Iludd's lnt nlsht. The bench lizards and their stock of
recent newspapers V4irrvery much In evidence, and It was nrced that Ruth
deserves every cent of the salary handed him. The orators did net ay much
tout Mays.
"Edlc Itetlsh U still holding out." said Jehn Rex, who once re
sided In Norristeun but new make his home here. "KiUlle still wants his
,118,000 n j ear, according te my paper, and (Jarry Herrmann say he won't
et It. Garry declare emphatically that ReiHi will pla for Cincinnati nt
tha terms offered by the club or he won't play at all. Leeks as If l'ddle
wag 'up against It."
Reush wants that three- ear contract, but it's a safe, bet that he will
sign the papers in a cry short time. If he can't get uhnt he wants he will
de the next best thins and split the difference with his club. y
Helding out these dn s is net te profitable as in the pat. There was
be Judge Landis en the job te tell the bejs what's what. Heinle Greh tried
It Inst year and was ordered te return and lese a. month's salary. This was
n object lessen which has been remembered.
STEir YOllK tenuis Heuih, but he icill tieier go there. J he ethci
seven cln?n in the League will nine a trnihle Ueirl, the same at
latt venr tehen it irm 'ill c tn 7n' (Imh te Gnthntn. Lamlii refused
te stand for it, a. d the Judge hud the final i. J'ddic will be tctth
Cincinnati, and you can bet the brmen maehin en if.
Doesn't Blame Player te Get All He Can
VT DON'T consider my .men holdouts." said Charley Kbbets the ether day.
J. "That term doesn't apply te ball players. If n man tries te get mere
fteney for his services he cannot be blamed. He Is entitled te all he can get,
if he can get It. He has te dicker with his owner during tile winter and de
all he can te get an increase In salary.
"However, if no agreement is reached and the player refuses te join
Ills club in the training camp, then the matter becomes serious. He net only
burts himvflf. but also his club.
"Last year we had several men who reported late, nrd they were no
geed te themselves or the club for a teuplp of mouths. Wc lest a chance te
stay In the first division and they le-t sumo extra money. This jear most
of my players arc in Jacksonville, and I don't think any will be mere than
a -week late."
Squire Ebbets has one tough person en his holdout list, and that Is
Burleigh (.rimes. The spitballer hasTjecn given nn Increase, according te
wperts, but It K net enough.
"Grimes has been offered a salary which is the second highest In the
League," said Ebbets. "Alexander, of Chicago, Is the best-paid pitcher,
and he deserves It. If we come te Grimes' terms Burleigh will get mere
than Alex. Funny hew- impeitnnt some pitchers become when they leek at
their-con tracts."
Alexander is snid te be receiving S12.000 a year, and Grimes probably
la holding out for $13,000. whirh he will net get.
They say up in Jacksonville that Ebbets is starting the war en the
Class AX clubs that refused te accept the draft. He has about forty nth
Jetes In training camp, and only two are from a Class AA club. The "ethers
re from the A, It and C leagues.
I Last winter Ebbets suggested that the major leagues ostracize the draft
dodgers and refuse te have further dealings with them. This was voted down,
but th-j squire evidently 1 following his own ideas. He Is developing his own
future stars and in a jear or se several should ee ready for the big show.
ITR the firt time in 7n'i career Pnbinrnn has nn mwintit in the
trnininn eamn.r. Xnn llucker is helninn him irith the rnnhiei. and

At the St. Petersburg Country Club

Scotland, and has improved ereatlv in the last two ears. He holds the
course record here with a CO, which is going some. He plays at Belleair in the

hours last evening between a committee
representing the Philadelphia Baseball
Association and the United Umpires'
organization. The moguls were repre
sented by Geerge Beldcn. of Hilldale.
nnd Bill Gleasen, of Xerth Phils, while
eight representatives sided with the
limps.
It was agreed that the arbiters should
classify these men nnd furnish the mo
guls with n list of them nnd their quail -factions.
The magnates will in turn
name these who nre satisfactory. The
Baseball Association had announced
previously that it will net confine se
lections te any one body, but the um
pires hinted that they would like all
appointments from their association.
There nre. however, geed men who
have net nfillintcd with the umpires, and
they have listed their names with Sec
retary Sumnfers, of the Baseball Asso
ciation. The salary question is jet te
be discussed.
The committee en purchasing consid
ered prepositions from eight local firms
en collective buying and twp concerns
want te furnish a hall made especially
for the local teams and stamped
"Philadelphia Baseball Association."
The committee will mnke Its report nt
the meeting en 'Wednesday.

A Querj' Plus n Reply
DEAR SIR What about an in
stance of this sort, and there arc
many such : A peer boy wants a col
lege education nnd he hasn't the money
te pny for It. But he has football abil
ity that will take him through, with
nil expenses pntd. He can't work his
way through college, for there isn't
time eneutrli te work, rdn.v football and
keep up in one's studies. In a case of
this sort why shouldn't football ability
pay his college course? li. F. H.
THERE may net be time enough te
work one's way through college, nlny
football and attend te studies. But why
should foetball.be compulsory where an
education Is the main desire? We have
also noticed that about 87 per cent of
these geed football players who have
tlieir way paid through college te get
nn education have n wny of klsslnc the
jelly old campus geed -by around the
afternoon of December 'J. Alse flint
the first select use te which their higher
education happens te be put is profes
sional football.
THERE nre thousands who work thlcr
wnv through college without finding
football n necessary and lending course.
Black and white arc never the same
color, When n man is given a remu
neration for his athletic services he Is
a professional. When he parades as an
etnnteur he Is merely cheating, and the

Although a junior national chom chem chom

will have teams en hand te take a fling
in the event.-
Te date an even score of women
swimmers nre lifted for the pentathlon,
nnd as the time Uriflt for entries will
net clee until just before the race,
it is likely thnt the number of con
testants will be Increased.
The last pentathlon held In this see-
Hen of the country was staged ln New ,

A COLLEGE education is a dcslrabjc
thing,' but te lie nndcheat is rather
an expensive tuition ice.
The Other Side'
NEenrnest exponent of an old doc-
v trine writes II te sugcest that any
man who attends college and keeps up
In his class work should be allowed te
play en any team.
He says there should be no such thing
as amateur or professional, but that one
should be rated by his work in the class
room and' his conduct en the field.
Ne vivid imagination is required te
vlsuallte a future of this sort. What
with colleges, coaches or rich alumni
bidding for the services of prep school
stars sulkily holding out for higher bids,
the drama of the occasion would seen
rise te radiant heights.
"Ne auch thing as amateur or profes
sional" would, seen lead te "Ne such
thing as amateur."
SSSHSH
vpOLLEGES In the Far West nre
ssJ new having cougars for mascots."
But there Is said te be almost nothing
in the report that Princeton will play a
Bengal tiger at left end next fall. Aft'.r
nil, this animal stuff can frequently 'ee
overdone.
"A MILE in 4:10 and 100 yards in
0 2-fi are cemlmr before the venr
is out," prophesies an expert. But as
long as neither pace is fast enough te
take one out of the reach of an income
tax collector, why tbe excitement?
Changing Weapons
HARRY HEILMAN, leading bets
man of the American League last
season, uses three different bat weights
that run from thirty-six te forty-two
ounces. He advecntes a change of bat
weight always when one is entangled in
the somber threes of a slump.
A change of scenery in regard te im
plements Isn't. n bad Idea in either tennis
or golf when one happens te be in a
slump.
There are times when a new touch
and renewed confidence come with new
weapons, the old having gene stale.
This is especially true in regard te
putting. Babe Ruth sometimes gees te
n mere fifty-ounce bat against a fast
pitcher, but In the main the Babe swings
a bludgeon that is from twelve te four
teen ounces heavier than Hcllman's or
Cobb's.
