HOLDOUT PROBLEM
 PUZZLES HUGGINS
Yankees Not Falling Over Them
 selves to Sign Contracts

New York, Feb. 22.-Manager Mill 10 town yesterday, but he brought no glad tidings that his players were falling all over themselves to sign their contracts for the coming season. While the club made no definite an- nounceme on the subject, it is be- lieved that several of the players are holdouts and are not satisfied with the terms of the contracts which have been forwarded to them.
 "A lot of the boys haven't signed their contracts yet" said Manager Huggins. T expect to go out and see some of them. while others will be invited to come here to talk over their supposed grievances with the officials of the club.'
 The Yankee leader had long con- ference with Colonel Ruppert and Colonel Huston regarding the hold outs, and it is believed that the club officials have decided on definite policy in dealing with the players. Manager Higgins said that he had not received any more word from Frank Baker and that the last letter he received from Del Pratt, the sec Ond bascman, brought the news that the player was not satisfied with his contract. Pratt did not play the kind of game that was expected of him last season, so it cannot be said that the club was overpleased with his work.
 All the trades which Manager Hug gins has been trying to make have fallen through, and it begins to look as if he would not be able to land an- other experienced Outtielder. The Tanks put out feelers to the White SOX in an effort to coax a trade for Hap Felsch or Joe Jackson, but it now develops that Manager Kid Glea- son does not want to part with any of his Outfield talent.
 Cleveland'S demands for Outfielder Bobby Roth are so great that a deal there is out of the question, so Hug gins has decided that he will try to make a regular outfielder out of Ha- las, the college star who played with the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta ton in both baseball and football last season.
 Huggins said yesterday that he would cut his squad down 10 twenty eight or thirty players before going to Florida to train and that he would not take moro than ten pitchers south.
 The holdouts on the Yankee club are something of a surprise, because the players have been treated rather lberally by the owners, considering the services they have given in re- turn. Tho holdouts on all the clubs are more numerous than any of the managers care to admit.

Rubc Benton and Lew McCarty Af- fix Signatures to New York Con-
 tracts-Eivc Regulars Now in Fold.

New York, Feb. 22-Two Giants, Pitcher Rube Benton and Catcher Lew McCarty, yesterday signed for the coming season. Pitcher Rube, who is in New York on a visit, personally left his contract in the New York clubs office.
 The Giants now have five regulars Kauff Zimmerman, Fletcher, Me- Carty and Benton, signed for the com ing season. Contracts from most Of the clubs youngsters, including Hub bel. Sicking, Ross, Smith and Ryan also are in Hal Chase has accepted terms and will sign as soon as his salary dispute with the Cincinnati club is fully adjusted. Lieut.. Winters also has accepted terms and will sign as soon as he gets out of the army.
 The trading of Bill Rariden to Gin cin1ati and the release of George Gib- son so that he could accept the man. agement of the Toronto club leaves the Giants with only two catchers, McCarty and Earl Smith. The latter never has worn a big league uniform. IT. has been years since a. Giant club has had only one experienced back stop It also seems to indicate that MCGraw has the same high opinion of smith as the critics of the 1nterna- ttonal league, who say only one catch CT like this rookie graduates to the big leagues in decade.

POLITICS, AS PRACTICED,
STENCIL.
Pensacola Fla June Ia 1,

Pensacola, Fla. June II. 1919.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
As citizen and well-wisher of the
| city Of Pensacola, I will ask you to
publish in your vox popuH column
my views on a matter that is of vital
| interest to the people of this city at
| this time, as follows:
| I feel it the duty of every good citi-
zen to express his ~tews on matters
of public concern.
1 am not a politician. and never
expect to be.
| The gulf between the modern poll
tician and the patriot is wide and
deep.
Statesmanship should be the high
est aim Of every American or ma
ttonal Of any country.
Politics, as practiced, should be
| and is, anathema and stencil.
/ Bolshevism is too much advertised
| in this country.
It is a menace to the world.
7 It lives and has its being in class
propaganda.
The Germans and their sympathiz-
ers are responsible for most of this
Yet, ignorant people, with little
brief authority" eS l,n in our own
country, in order to perpetuate them
selves In office, will resort to class
prejudice.
Charity would suggest that We at
tribute this to their ignorance.
favor no class of people above any
other class OF people, as such.
do favor intelligence and integrity,
in office and out of II.
notice in your issue of yesterday
that there is in this city controversy
between the advocates of commission
government and aldermanic govern
ment.
! Either would be good IL honestly
and intelligently conducted. Neither
, is good if corrupt and ignorant
I also note that Commissioner Hin
richs, If correctly quoted by you. says
(by way of interrogation) what con-
sistency there could be in a plea for
more democratic form of govern
ment when made by the aristocrats
of the city against the common peo-
pie, who, he said, are now ruling the
city and intend to stay in control"
ask what German could announce
a more anarchistic doctrine?
1 will not take issue with Commits
sioner Hinrichs as to the people who
now rule and control Pensacola
being common. He says it. I'll take
his word for that.
But could he advance a better ar
gument for a change in the ruling"
band "controP' of the city of Pensa-
cola?
Any appeal that may come from
any source for one class of Pensacola
people against any other class of Pen
sacoia people to rule" or control
the city of Pensacola is Numerically
opposed to the best interests of every
citizen of the city, and is anarchistic
and BoIshevik in it's tendency, whera-
er Intentionally or ignorantly made.
Patriots, and not politicians, are
needed in Pensacola.
A change in the form of govern
ment, so as to make 1t impossible for
any two men to rule" or" control
the city, might be an improvement.
Respectfully submitted to all the
citizens of Pensacola and to no class
of citizens more than other classes
