NEW YORK, Jan. 1O.-The big
league seasonal holdout war was
rumbling on all fronts today.
A survey of the salary and hold
out situation in the major clubs
showed curves with players salaries
trending down and prospects Of loud
howls going up. One line remains
constant: The price line for grand
stand and bleacher seat, f. o. b.
This survey reveals that when
player contracts are mailed this
week, some athletes on virtually
every club in the major circuits
will receive salary cuts, and that
owners anticipate considerable
skirmishing before they march back
to the fold.
Sidney We'll, president Of the
Cincinnati Reds, crystallized the sit
uation perfectly when he reported
Its no secret that players sala-
ries will'be cut, not only by the Gin
cinnati club, but by every major

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-There is
L another English fighter in our
midst, one Seaman Watson.
Strangely, Watson is called Seaman
because he has been to sea. He
used to be a member of the Kings
navee. He's over here to fight Kid
Chocolate for the featherweight
championship. And to pick up a
few stray Shillings.
No one seems TO know whether
Watson can fight or not. The box
ing commission has its doubts. Ac-
cordingly. it has been arranged for
the Englishman to give a formal
exhibition of his skill before a crit
ical jury. He is to appear in a GYM
nasium against picked opponent.
On the outcome of this clinical DEM
onstration depends, supposedly, his
American debut.
