HOLDING OUT

Of the holdout Of Jim Faulkner,

Faulkner. according to club Off
Gals, seeks a salary of $4,000, a
big price even for first-rate exper-
fenced pitchers. The only Dodger
pitcher who will get more than that
is Dazzy Vanze with his $4,000 con-
tract. William Watson Clark, who,
with the ailing Jim Elliott, forms
the left-handed department Of the
pitching staff, is getting only $l0,-
600 a year.

mands quickly, the club plans TO

most amusing incident Of the series.

cover a stirrup and accidently drop

in running through the line Of cars
