They are rarely or never players whose
services absolutely cannot be dispensed
with without jeopardizing the standing of
their teams. but they think they are. and
that Is what makes them Holdoutskis.
They're the victims of overpraising and
bad advice. A good many ball players of
this type, as plain matter of truth, de-
velop the curious idea that all they've got
to do in order to make club owners
a-skeeart to the salary listing point is to
scowl and look real mad-uh and give out
the encouragement that they're through
with the ball business. They fondly imagine
that when they get this horrible threat out
Of their systems their club owners will
bear down upon their towns in special
trains and offer them salaries equal to
something like a 20 per cent ownership in
the club they've been playing for.
1t Is needless to say that such things do
not happen. The owners of ball clubs are
hear of these pronunciamentos. Nary
shiver of apprehension shakes them. They
don't quake. They don't drive their
knuckles into their eyes to stop up the
begrudge the Holdoutski his little period Of
Illumination, his plaintive wailing over the
injustice" with which he has been
handled. They know what their man Is
know it on a better and sounder basis of
knowledge than the player himself knows
it.
Not once in hundred instances does

pass up the ball-playing business when the
money offered him doesn't come up to the
figure he imagines he is worth: Usually,
at the last minute, or when the time Is pref
ty short, he falls in with some sage person
or persons who stake him to little bit Of
common-sense advice, who indicate to him
in forceful language just where he stands
as ball player and where he doesn't
stand in any other relationship in life
other than as a ball player. And SO the
Never Agains. despite all of their winter
long exhibitions of the def stuff to their
employers, and their lurid announcements
that they have tagged the ball business
for good and ALL" sink in out of the raw
mistiness in the nick Of time and join the
southwark hiking groups of their mates
making for the training grounds.
But they've got little way with them of
making it all look nice for themselves. They
put ON the broad-map grin and stick their
thumbs in the armholes of their waistcoats
and announce to inquirers that they've got
everything they demanded" from their
bosses, land more
This lets them down nicely. And is there
any way OF figuring it out how it can hurt
their employers?

ball team defeated the Cadets here today.
The soldiers gave the poorest exhibition

throughout. Many of the visitors goals
were the result of long, spectacular shots

seemed to take a brace and use a little
team work. but the rally was too late to
overcome the lead the visitors had already
gained. During the first half the Cadets
seemed unable to cover the little New

AS plain matter Of fact, it is the expert
ence of seasoned owners and managers of
Sail clubs that the Holdoutskis are gen.
orally players who vastly overestimate their
own prowess on the diamond and to whom
advances in pay are not really, by right,
a-coming. The big fellows who back up
with the crack merchandise don't have to
ask for their pay-boosts. They gets them
without their asking for reward of merit.
The chaps who amt never going to play
no more till their employers show
them are pretty often those ball play
ers who suffer, more or less acutely,
from the celebral affiiction known as
elephantiasis or megalomania. 1t Is
called swellupitis by some rougher folk.

THE POLICY PASS BILL.

What possible excuse can consistent
ly be advanced for the support of the
Policy alleged anti-pass bill, which
has been favorably reported by a
majority of the house railroad COM
mittee?
This measure proposes to prohibit
delegates to political conventions from
receiving railroad passes, and also
anyone else who attends such conven-
tions.
So far, so good.
But if it is necessary to cut off
passes from delegates to conventions,
how much more important is it, gen.
tlemen of the house railroad commit
tee. to cut them off from delegates to
legislatures-in other words, senators
and representatives
On second thought, there does seem
to be an excuse for this bill. The
Trainer and the majority of the house
railroad committee are evidently
anxious to keep. their passes. And
that is apparently the only excuse.
How can any man have the effront-
cry to say that passes shall be cut of
