Hold Out Players Worrying

Eiy own terms" And the players, who
 had suffered cuts in wages during le17, 1915 and 1919. mentioned figures for 1920 which would have been suf- ficient to -sake care of the cuts which they had suffered in the three prevf- ous seasons. The managers made counter proposition. They were turned down, in most cases, and all through the winter the newspapers have been filled with stories of holdo1ts.

Just about every other player on the entire Yan- kee roster suddenly connected with the idea during the winter that he was worth lot more money and prac- tieally every man that I signed up gave me stiff argument in advance as to why his increase should be about three times beyond what club owners had determined The very fact that the club owners. in some cities. made money last year is the thing that is influencing the holdouts"
 Even now. with the training camp season well under way. many of the stars in both circuits have not signed the documents and loudly announce that they will not come in out of the wet until they get their demands. Maybe they will experience a change of heart before the April play ball, sounds. but if they don't it will be :, case of baseball being played in 1920 minus many of the truly greats--or of the managers submitting to q demand for stiff increases in wages.

DRAWS FOR DAVIS TENNIS CUP MEET
 ARE ANNOUNCED
United States Meets South Africa In First Round.
 Holland Vs. Great Britai

Sydney, x $. ". March 5.-The draw for the Davis tennis championship has the United States meeting South Africa in the first round. Holland has been added to the list of challengers, and will meet Great Britain in the first round.
 New York, March 5.--Following the Announcement of the draw at Sydney, N. S. w, for the Davis cup internation- al tennis matches. next summer, off cers of the National Tennis Association expressed tonight the unofficial opin- ion that the preliminary rounds would be played in England. In case of the United States and South Africa, which meet in one of the first rounds, it was felt neither nation would care to make the long trip to the courts of the other. The conditions would be entirely differ ent from those governing the British Isles Holland match.
 The United States Association plans to send a team to compete in the championships in Wimbledon in June and South Africa probably will do like wise The African colonies were rep resented at Wimbledon in 1919 and also played their Davis cup preliminary against the British Isles in England. losing four out of five matches. If the same plan is followed next summer it would appear likely that two, if not a1l three prelinaries wiuld be staged at or near Wimbledon.
 So far as can be judged from avail able information here. England should defeat Holland and the United States should win from South Africa in the first round, the winners then to meet for the right to challenge Australia. There is little information available In this country on South African tennis material for Davis cup team. One of the leading players. Atkins, was de- feated in an early round of the English championship last season by Washburn of this city, S6, 6-S, Go.

Baseball managers are sporting 10 of new gray hairs, due to worries in volved in lining up their stars for the 1920 games.
 The athletes, who were perfectly willing to sign up for the 1918 and also the 19l9 seasons for almost any sum of money which was offered to them, experienced a complete change of heart as far as 1920 is concerned.
 Conditions are radically different no" than they were during the past two sea sons, as regards the financial end of the game, and the players determined to get theirs" while the getting was good
 When America plunged into war ih 1917 the outlook for baseball was most dismal It continued so through 1918 ana so discouraging became conditions that curtalment of the season was necessary. In an effort to save themselves from ter rife lesses, the magnate3 chopped down expenses wherever they could and cut down their rosters to the absolute minlln- mum. Many of the miner leagues Weh' to the wall and baseball affairs were very chaotic.

In the war-ravaged districts supplies
necessary for maintenance Of instl-
tutions are lacking, but it has beep
noted that always the request for out
side aid emphasizes the needs of the
orphanages. How marked is this In
clination was indicated by the fact
that one district Of Poland the au-
thorities, appealing to an American re-
lief organization for assistance, asked
assistance for only one military hos
pital, four general hospitals and twen-
ty orphanages.
The appeal has reached America
with the result that because they know
that literally millions of European chill
dren face starvation and death from
disease unless the aid that only this
country can give is forthcoming, eight
great American relief agencies have
banded together under the name Of the
European Relief Council to raise $685.

FOREIGNERS SENDING
VAST RELIEF HOME
Over 90 Per Cent of Food Drafts
Sent to Europe Gifts From
Immigrant Population.

Out of their earnings, for the most
part as unskilled laborers, living from
hand to mouth, the foreign-born ele-
ment in the United States is cOntribut-
ing largely to the funds for food sup
plies to aid the starving peoples Of
their native lands.
Figures from the Food Draft section
of the American Relief Administration
show that S593,110 had been sent TO
Poland, up to the end of November.
$16S,170 had been sent to CzechO
Slovakia, Hungary had received $780,
76O, Germany had S1,443,619 and Aus
tria $2,O46,720. 1t was estimated that
more than 90 per cent of this money
had been spent by nationals Of these
various countries who are now in the
United States. There are about 1900
900 Poles, 100000 Hungarians, 100000
Czechs and 100000 Slovaks in this
country.
The profits which resulted from the
sale of these food drafts have been
turned into the fund for general child

the point where it can meet the de-
mands on it, to save the lives Of $780,
