Chicago, Dec. 24.-Traffic delays re-
sulting from heavy wet snow brought
about upturns today in the price of
corn. Smallness of receipts here tend
ed also to lift values. on the other
hand there was no urgent buying and
the fact that c0ld wave was in pros

FRASER HALE, ONE OF LEADIN
GOLFERS OF THE WEST, ISOVER
FRANCE FIGHTING WITH SANNfI
Carried Warren Wood to goth Hole in We<
Championship and Played Splendid
Golf in Last British Amateur
BY CHARLES (Chick) EVANS. JR.

UNIIE subject OF this little sketch Is one
i of the best of the younger golfers In
the country. Not Of the very youngest,
for as a matter of fact ne celebrated
his twenty-ffth birthday on the fourth
of January, 1ais, and In France. IL
was his misfortune to appear a little
after the famous group of Chicago boy
golfers who had things mostly their
own way for a while and made It very
hard for the one who came Immediately
after them.
Fraser Hale has played golf all over
this country and in England and France,
and everywhere his showing has been
credrable. From the very start he has
had to work against seasoned players,
and always he has put up good fight.
He had a good beginning at golf. His
father was charter member of the
Skolie Golf Club and Fraser played
from his earliest years. His first in
structor was Jimmie Watson. at that
time ono of the most famous golfers
In the country. Then, too, there Is the
story OF a Scottish grandfather. J. G.
Darling. who was a distinguished golfer
in the old country.
Loses Thirty-nine- Hole Match
Fraser was valued member of the
midwcstern team that played in the Pa
ciflc northwest in the early spring Of
1918. That year playing in the western
championship he carried Warren Wood,
the eventual winner of the event. 10 the
thirty-ninth hole. In the national and
Garden City that year the slender. twen-
ty-year-old STRIPPING fought the veteran
Travis to a standstill. finally losing by
a small margin.
In 1914 Fraser Hale was one OF the
Americans who played in the last Brit
ish championship, He vert over later
by several weeks than Travis and Out
met. and week or so earlier than I. lie
employed his time before the tournament
in playing over leading British courses,
and made friends everywhere. He was
defeated in the second round of the tour
nament by Ivo Whitton, the Australian
! champion.
In both Of these rounds he was up
against flrst-class players. Contrasting
his game with the leading two eastern
players he shows more than favorably.

HOLD-OUT FEVER HITS
BALL MAGNATES HARD
Less Than 30 Per Cent Old and
New Players Under
Contract
NEW YORK, Feb. 9

NEW hoiSh, ftb. -i'
The gang OF holdouts now bringing
sweat out in large Jumps on the brow
of major league magnates is not a
result of a concerted plan by the Base
BAH Players Fraternity to make the
magnates come through with more
money At least 1t isn't so far as Da-
vid l.. Fultz knows. and Dave. being
the holdover president OF the fraternity,
says he would know IL such was the
case.
But the holdout fever is epidemic and
rampaging through the payrolls of every
major league club i'm the country. AS
q matter of fact, there are very few
which have signed enough men to even
claim the rudiments of baseball team.
Even the New York Giants. club which
declares 1t has most of its players signed,
must own up to lack of contracts from
George Burns, Jim Thorpe. Dave Rob-
ertson, Ferd Schupp. Poll Perritt and
Slim Sallee.
OF course. It is possible that some
other president or secretary or some-
thing has taken over the duties of Fultz
In the Players Fraternity and has told
the boys TO spurn their contracts, but
Fultz says nay. He believes the ath-
letes are only asserting their rights.
Anyway, no matter what the cause. II
Is a fact that less than 80 per cent Of
last years bailplayers and the new
spring crop have condescended to afiis
their signatures to the papers
II Is fact thAt the wsr cant bs
