his final appearance of the spring,
it being the day prior to the start of
the Yanks training grind.
I declined for two reasons. One
was the fear that might get a good
drubbing from Higgins, who has
been playing all winter. The other,
as I explained to him, was the fact
that had an engagement to tickle
the typewriter keys for couple of
hours.
UnquestiOnably Miller Higgins
is one of the smartest men in base
ball. He knows every angle of the
game. In his quiet worlzmanIike
manner he has been big success.
When you talk baseball with Hug
gins, you know you are getting an
expert opinion on any question you
fire at him. From baseball our con-
versation shifted to golf.
soon realized, despite, the fact
that he has been at the game only
very short time, he has some very
definite opinions on how it should be
played. Experts in golf may not
agree with his deductions. but I
found them at least interesting.

NEW YORK, March 17.-When
Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby
were talking during the winter about
so much or nothing on a new con-
tract, there were reasons TO believe
that less noted Disconnected players
might enlist behind the two prize
show elephants of baseball in an
organized hold-out campaign.
AS it turned out the Babe and
the Rajah We're not interested in any
labor cause and were concerned
chiefly with themselves.
Hornsby asked for the pen and
the ink bottle and signed for SAC, 900
after he had talked to his new boss.
John McGraw, for less than fifteen
minutes.
The ceremony Of signing Babe
Ruth to a new three-year contract
for $4,000 consumed fifty-five min
utes by actual clocking.
Campaign Blows Up
The holdout campaign, If II was
waiting for high powered leadership
then blew up and the boys began
to sign up even If they did grumble
about the difference between theirs
and $1,000 and $4,000.
There remain, however, few
more stubborn athletes who are
talking about raising silver foxes,
fishing in Indiana, running pool
rooms and loafing il the magnates
do not come through with what they
want.
The pennant chances OF four lead
ing contenders depend in no minor
part upon four players who couldn't
agree with the valuation placed on
their services by their employers.
Eddie Roush-no holdout list
would be complete without him-has
not reported to the New York
Giants and hasn't even talked to his
new bosses. but he will not fish all
summer as he has threatened.
Charley Stoneham, president Of
the Giants. looks upon the Roush
case with humor.
Hes old like am and he doesn't
like to work any more than 1 do"
Stoneham said.
But McGraw doesn't see any
humor in the situation. He has an
eutfield problem to solve since he
lost Pep Young and he can't reach
the solution until he has Roush in
center field.
Herb Pennock, admitted to be the
greatest southpaw in baseball, has
the Yankees worried. He wants
$4,000 year and he will not re-
port until he gets it. The Yankees
have to have Pennock and he
knows 1t.
Tommy Thevenow, one Of the out
standing stars Of the world series,
tossed back the contract the Cardi-
nails offered him. He knows that the
club can't pick anyone TO fill his
shoes from the dozen or more farms
the club owns.

SARASOTA, Fla, March IT,
Rogers Hornsby has been widely
quoted as stating that the st. Louis
Cardinals would be lucky to finish
in the first division this year.
The ST. Louis Cardinals strongly
resented this.
During my stay with the Giants,

eff Bob elects to run the ball club

for the Cardinals are a mighty good
club and a courageous one.
what I did say about the Ma

81 stand pat on that one. AS each

"The players on the st. Louis Car

Recent Moves by Tribe Off,
Gals Indicate Transac-

SANFORD, Fla, March Ire
cent moves made by Tribe club off.
Gals indicate that Eddie Sticking
eventually will land with the Mil.
Waukee Brewers. The former In
dian captain was slated to go to Mil.
waukee some time ago, but there
was a hitch in the deal, and he
trotted to Florida with the Hoosiers.
Now the Indians and Brewers
have another transaction in the
making and it is believed Sticking is
certain to perform in the Cream
City this year. The Tribe is ask
ing for a southpaw pitcher in the
deal, suggesting Gearin, the midget
of the Milwaukee staff.
The Brewers are hot after Sticking
and the Indians are hot after a left
handed hurler. And as Milwaukee
has four southpaw twirlers it looks
as though the clubs are sure to get
together. At any rate, Owner Smith
announced today Sticking would not
be with Indianapolis when the
1870 season opens.
KOpf Signs Contract
The veteran shortston Larry
Kopf, signed tribe contract today
and is now regarded as the likely
starter at shorstop for the Indians.
After watching Kopf practice two
days, Manager Bethel advised Owner
Smith to grab him. Larry let out
a little during Wednesdays drill and
pleased the Hoosier field boss with
his agility and with the ease he got
over ground.
Kopf played basketball the past
winter and has no weight to take off.
He was an ineligible player until a
few days ago when Judge Lands
granted him reinstatement. He
played outlaw ball after jumping the
Boston Braves several years ago, but
stayed away from ineligibles dur.
ing 1925, and in that way got an
opportunity to get back into or,
ganized diamond society.
Boston agreed to the players re.
instatement and also allowed him an
unconditional release. The fly in
the ointment is the fact Boston did
not demand his services as the vet
eran really looks capable.

There are three men in camp who

the Indians. Bill Burwell indicated
a few days ago he was satisfied,
but he failed to come through and
still is listed as a holdout. Catcher
Florence and Sticking are others not
signed. The latter is holding Up

he is going to be sent.
