PLAYERS MUST SIGN
 CONTRACTS BEFORE TRAINING
Many Big Leaguers Will Be Dropped
 Because of Holdhouts.

Quite a few major league players will be dropped into the minor league ranks this year as the result of hold ing up their contracts on the ground that IS members of the Players Fra teruity they were forbidden to sign. There are other holdouts, who have refused to sign because they were dis gatiSsnad with the terms of their con tracts, and many of these players also will be given the choice of accepting iob in the minors or remaining idle,
 The threatened strike was really Npthing more than an attempt on the part of the players to prevent the magnates from putting through their nlan of reducing expenses all along the line, This is evidenced hy the fact that since the strike was called eft there has heen no attempt to force the National association to grant the demands made on behalf of the minor league players, while there has heen stampede on the part of the "heldouts" to get their contracts into the clubs hands,

MATTY WANTS MORE
 COMPETITION IN BASEBALL.
Tired of Salary Holdouts and lndiffer-
 ent Work of Overpaid Stars.

Christopher Marhewson, mana ser of the Cincinnati Reds, hasss3Gst raised an interesting point in dealing with several of his players who want to be traded because they are unable to se- cure big salaries from Pres.SSht Hermann, Matty says that baseball means competition, not mere eX- hihition of skill by men who care lit- tie whether they win or lose, lie de- clares that in recent years many play CTS have thought more about their salaries than trying to put their clubs at the top of the list, and he believes that the public demands return of the old rivalry which formerly made the national pastime popular all over the country,

 Competition on the field ts the life of baseball. The public pays to see games played by teams that are al swords points, The fans have no uae for high salaried stars who do not eSs tend themselves. When Frank Chances Cubs tackled the Giants in days of old the excitement was intense, The rival players bristled with pugnacity, They fought desperately for every point, and the great crowds at the Polo grounds went wild with delight, Mattv. who took part in those memorable battles, Is right when he says that baseball should be played under those condi- tions.
 The players must forget the salary high powered automobiles and attend- ing tango teas. They are hired to en- certain the public with strenuous work on the diamond, always keeping in mind the welfare of their teams. From the moment the cham pfonshin races begin the teams should cut out the handshaking and the hobnobbing with opponents and should fight for victories at all stages of the pennant races. Matty's words of wisdom should not be forgotten.
 We suggest a 24-hour intermfss;on between the first and second games of all double-headers the coming sea- son.

DIAMOND STARS SOON
 FADE INTO o6scURITY
Selling of Harmon Recalls One of the
 Biggest eDaIs in Baseball.

When Barney Dreyfuss. owner of the Pirates, sold Pitcher Bob Harmon to the Columbus club recently. one of the biggest baseball deals of the present decade was recalled. Four years ago Dreyfuss sent Jack Miller, Chief Will son. Arthur Butler. Rube Robinson and Cozy Dolan to the St. Louis Car dinals in exchange for Harmon. Ed Konetchy and Mike Mowrey. All but three of these players have gone to the minors. which shows how quickly the stars of the diamond fade away. Wilson, Butler. Robinson, Dolan and Harfaon are the ones who no longer will play in tine National league Mill Ter is on the ragged edge and also may drop out of fast company unless the Cardinals can trade him to some oth- CT National league club. Konetchy is with the Braves and Mowrey is ex- pected to again cover third base for the Robins. Yet in 1915 Mowrey was released outright by the Pittsburgh Feds after a poor exhibition of skill DT,efuss still retains the veterans Wagner, Carey. Schulte and Hinch- man, but may not be for long. The Pirates owner has become a strong advocate of young blood.
