WIFE JOE WmLIAMs

ATEW YORK, March 19.-Practi-
IN cally all the mere-dough boys,
or holdouts, have attached their
sprawling signatures to the perfor-
ated line, and are now in the base
ball laboratories perspiring freely
and eating fluently. Two notable
exceptions are the young Waner
brothers OF Pittsburgh, known to
the literature of the diamond as
pig Poison" and Little Poison, +"
and to the pitchers as murder ana
manslaughter.
Ultimately, of course, the
Waners will sign, if not at their
avn terms, then at terms closely
concentrating them. The base
bali holdout represents a strange
variety of business procedure, and
is probably without a parallel IN
any other species of endeavor.
THE HoLDoUT OPERATES ON THE
THEORY THAT HIS BENEVOLENT EN-
pLoYER IS A COMBINATION OF SHY
LOCK AND THE ORIGINAL JAMES
BoYs AND THAT THE ONLY WAY, TO
GET ANYTHING OUT OF HIM IS BY
USE OF IGH-HANDED, MILITANT
FORCE.
THIS theory is the outgrowth OF
i a great number Of instances
which seemed to imply that the
baseball employer is precisely that
type of gentleman, conservatively
speaking. The history OF the game
records very few instances where
the club owner compelled the player
to accept more money than he was
worth. or more money than his con-
tract Specif1ed.
Generally the hOldout Sulks UNI
til a week or SO before the season
begins and then Surrenders, TAX
ing what he is offered, plus the
convert charges. But once in a
while the holdout gets the club
owner in tight spot and keeps
him there until full and proper
recognition of his superior talents
is made.
DAzzY VANCE, THE FAST BALL
PITCHER OF THE BROOKLYNS, FOUND
HIMSELF IN THIS ENvIABLE POSITION
THIS YEAR WHEN HE DEMANDED
IS, 900 INCREASE, SWELLING HIS CON-
TRACT FIGURES TO s25,oG0, WHICH IS
MORE THAN ANY OTHER PITCHER IN
IS RECEIVING.
II
VANCE for the past several years
v years has been the greatest
gate attraction in the league among
the pitchers and such is his stand
ing in the Flatbush community as
a gentleman and a scholar that any
attempt to start the season without
him would no doubt have been pro-
ductive of riots, sedition and mutiny
by the customers.
Judge Steve McKeever, one Of
the owners of the club, was not
slow in recognizing this situation.
He said: vance is worth every
