New York. J;ln. 27.--Th" fact that not a Yankee player has returned his signed contract for 1920 is nothing; new with that club. but il indicates thc trend of affairs throughout both major leagues. Prom all indications this winter will bring out q banner crop of holdOutS.
 II was predicted carly in the winter that the clubs would cNprricn"" d Iot of difficulty inducin" their players to sign at the war salaries of l219. Prom various conversations with the ath- letcs il was evident they intended to insist upon sharing in the returned prosperity of the game.
 Su far the Detroit club seems to he in he lead in getting it's mcn in line. Most of tho stars of the Tigers. par ticularIN the pitchers. have been sign r1 hy NaNin. NaVin probably has been sending out sugar coated contracts. It iS either that or his players want tO show their ;lpprccia ion of his fight to get third place money for them.
 The remarks made by Charley StonclIlu'. tue Giant president. on his recent return from Cuba have added fucl to >the flames of di~COntent. Stoncham remarked that the Giants would get salaries in accordance with the present high cost of living. This Interview Was sent bruaicHSt. Stone ham was quoted a5 calling in con tracts with players vii" already had signed in order tu pay them mor" money.
 When out or town club ovpCrs rc;td t they were thrown into a panic. The players, who often go hy New York standards had new weapon 1o cnl- ploy.

Washington, Dec. "a proposed tele
graph convention among the great pow
crs drawn up by the international com
munication conference now in session
here is understood to meet with vigor-
Gus opposition from the American com
mercial telegraph companies. which are
said to profess to see in it the virtual

The American commissioners TO the

convention with reservations. the exact
nature of which have not been disclosed
The convention is included in general
one governing the international use of
cable, radio and telegraph and the whole
must be approved by q general communi-

then by the interested governments be-
fore it can become effective. In the
case Of the United States ratification by
congress will be necessary,
Particular clauses of the proposed con-

S|V|u FEM LEADERS
DENY PARTICIPATION
IN CHRISTMAS TRUCE
Ecclesiastical Influence Backed
by Sentiment FayOrs YuIe-
Tide Services.

Dublin. Dec, 5.-There is a general
sentiment strongly backed by ecclesiast-
ical Influence, in favor of truce. but
there is no expectation that any Sim
Fener OF an authoritative position will
be able to meet the government on essen
tial conditions. Leading Sim Feiners
deny participation in the rumored negori-
ations.
The Sim Fein organ says the govern
ments repressive measures are merely
undertaken to force compromise, which
must be resisted. Until the eve of
Arthur Uenderson's visit to ireland,
Griffith, MacNeil, and other reputed
moderates were not molested. They
were then arrested and still are held. the
government allegation against them being
either culpable ignorance in the employ
ment of Dali Eirean funds or knowledge
that these funds were being used By the
Republican army to promote violence,
This, it is pointed out, is considered in
consistent with the governments desire
for q truce
