any assistance at all or an assis-
tance commensurate with the trouble
which its transportation incurred.

needed for life in the rarified atmo-

| OAKLAND CITY. Ind, July G.
What does a hold-out do in the mid
die of busy baseball season?
Some of them play semi-pro, and
again some of them just hold out,
Take Eddie Roush, for instance,
a famous batsman of the Cincinnati
Reds, a hold-out Of the first class.
Eddy and the Cinci Club have held
each other to a mo hit, no run coa-
test over a three-year contract for
SIS. 1000, and the games still run
ming into extra innings.
II don't intend TO be a hold-out,"
says Eddie, its business with me.
II anybody is the hold-out it's the
Cincinnati Club that is doing the
holding. So if it is hold-outs you
want you will have to go over and
see the Cinci bunch.
20 Per Cent Dividends
"They say they can't afford to
pay me $4,000 on a three-year con-
tract, that they are losing money.
l hear that last year they paid 20
per cent dividend. Losing money
and paying dividends is some base
ball club.
NO we didn't argue about any
thing. 1 just drop in and we no

Il would rather be with Cincin-
natl than any other club in the

matter. But il it came to second

Not for the sake of being with
New York, but because OF McGraw.
He's a wonderful manager and he
makes a fellow play baseball and
