BY ]. ED GRILLo.

The major league hold-outs are slowly
coming into the contract fold. Nearly
every day now one or more Of the dis
satisfied players are signing their con-
tracts, though as yet there is no break
in the position of the four Detroit play
ers who have vowed to remain idle
rather than accept the salaries their
club has offered them. Notwithstanding
the fact that Cobb has frequently insisted
that he could not be considered hold
out. there appears to be no negotiations
on between him and the Detroit club,
and he is still at his home in Georgia,
having failed to report at Gulfport. where
the Tigers are in training. Judged on
what both Navin and Jennings have to
say, there is chance for Cobb to be sat-
isfied, though that does not necessarily
mean that he will get the $4,000 per
which he is alleged to have demanded.
The club seems willing to make some
sort of concessions to Cobb, but it seems
settled that Crawford, Stanage and Du-
buc must accept the original contracts
or remain idle.
Owner Navin figures that if the worst
happens and none of the four players
report, his team will stand a chance
~ HHiSi just as nlSn tnlS year as 1t DID
last. when 1t wound up in sixth place,
hence he pretends not to be worried over
the position four of his star players
have taken.
Nothing developed from the rumors
which were current last winter to the eff
feet that Cleveland intended to get rid of
Larry Lajoie. The big Frenchman, in
fact, appears to be more popular than
ever with the Cleveland fans, and Judged
from the showing he is making in the
Maps training camp he is just as good
as he ever was
There has been an impression for sew
eral years that though Lajoie is a won
derful individual on the ball field, he has
an apparently listlesS way Of doing things
that has detrimental effect on the team
as whole. But it takes a lot of nerve
Tor a ball club to part with PLAYER who
possesses so much ability, and that un-
doubtedly is the reason why the Cleye-
land club has decided not to consider any
propositions for the big fellow.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING,

money is collected. 1t is stated that bid
ding is usually very free, and that this
method OF selling stimulates distribution
ana consumption from three to ten fold.
Careful attention is paid to market
conditions. and fruit is shipped north
with the understanding between the ex-
change and the railroads that it may be
diverted at any time. For instance sew
eral carloads of fruit have reached Po-
tOmac yards at Washington en- route to
New York. Telegraphic advices show that
the market conditions in Gotham will be
bad when they arrive: thereupon the eX-
change telegraphs the railroad to divert
those cars to Cincinnati or to Pittsburgh.
There are a number of diversion points
where this may be done, so that a car
need never take a long chance Of running
into glutted market.
The Eastern Shore Produce Exchange

ket products

ing upon some 700 square miles of terri
tory on the Virginia peninsula. 1t han
dies upward of 100000 separate pack
ages of truck year, most Of the pack
ages being full barrels. Some 5000 car
loads of potatoes, $50 carloads of straw
berries, $50 carloads Of cabbage and other
produce in proportion. are sent to market
each year Last year the gross receipts
amounted to about $3,OOOOOO.
Any farmer may purchase the right to
have his produce handled by the associa-
ton for 81 a year. The exchange main
tains private telephone exchange
through which it is in constant touch
with each Of it's forty-four shipping sta
lions. Each day a careful investigation
Of the supply in sight is made and a SINH
lar study of the demand. Thus the prod
ucts are always placed where the best
prices prevail. The exchange charges a
commission of per cent on the goods
that measure up to the standard to COM
mand its brand, and per cent on pro-
duce that cannot be marketed under it's
brand.
Throughout the country there are pro-
ducers associations of all kinds for help
ing the farmer to get fair price for his
products and their members have little
reason to be dissatisfied with the prices
they get. But even then it is probably
safe to estimate that the price at which
the exchanges sell is but little more than
half the price the consumer pays.

decidedly anxious to secure Lake. He
made a very f1attering offer for the De-
troit pitcher. but just as soon as that club
realized that Griffith wanted Lake it de-
cided to retain him, no doubt hgurlng
that If Lake was considered of value
enough to be wanted by Griffith he was
worth keeping.
Most of the teams in the two major
leagues will have a start on the Nationals
In the matter Of training. If present plans
are adhered to. next Wednesday will be
the first day that Griffith's team will get
under way in its preparatory work. The
fact that the locals are starting later
than most Of their rivals is not necessa-
rily handicap however The Pittsburgh
team, for instance. is always the last of
the big league teams to start its training
in the spring and yet always toes the
scratch in good condition. Fred Clarke
figures that a month is sufficient to put
ball team on edge and keep 1t from
growing stale during the season. The
Nationals will have about five weeks of
preliminary work, and as there will be
few players in the camp who will have to
reduce weight, this should prove ample
time to prepare the players for the cam
paign.
When Carl Cashion reports to Griffith
he will be ready to pitch. Cashion has
been practicing for the past month or
more in Huntersville, N. c.. where the
work outside. No one is more anxious
to make good than Cashion and even
during the winter months he was prac-
ticing a motion which would allow him
to hold base runners close to first base.
If Cashion has mastered control of the
ball his success Is assured, for it will be
recalled that there was never an occasion
when he was hit hard last season, but
he made himself lot of trouble by rea-
son of his wildness. A majority of the
great pitchers of today broke into the
major leagues lacking control. but grad
ually secured 1t, and then became stars.
Walter Johnson was an exception to this
rule, for he displayed good control the
very first day that he wore a Washington
uniform.
Connie Mack. like many Others figures
that the st. Louis Browns will be a. most
troublesome club this season, though the
team may not improve it's position over
last season. The fact that Stovall seems
to have strong pitching staff made up
of youngsters Of much ability, not to
speak of energy, gives the Browns a
chance to upset the calculations of many
of the pennant aspirants. The greatest
asset Of a ball team Is a lot of good
pitchers. and on their showing last sea-
son Stovall has four or five who are not
apt to be hit hard at any time.
