ONLY THREE SEEN

Stewart of Mats, Suhr of

n YEw YORK, March 5.-whether
M it's due to the approach Of
Y Spring, or better salary terms,
all except handful Of major
league ball players are safely in the
fold for another year
The latest check-up on the holdout
situation reveals only a dozen play
ers unsigned, and of these only three
can be considered really in earnest
about the whole matter.
Gus Suhr, clever first baseman Of
the Pittsburgh Pirates, so far has re-
sisted all overtures from Manager Pie
Traynor, but it will start to cost him
money soon and that may bring ac-
tion. The club has ordered Suhr TO
report to training camp at San Ber-

himself. Suhr, however, appears un-
perturbed. He says he'll stay home in
San Francisco until the Pirates offer
him the salary to which he thinks
he Is entitled.

BY JOHN B. KELLER,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

~ ILOXI. Miss, March s.
x Sound in limb again, Joe
Kuhel today settled to the task
of conditioning himself for
another season of first basing for the
Nationals, with which outfit he had
done a lot of high-class first basing
before he cracked an ankle last
Summer.
Kuhel says the bone that was bro
ken late in June during a tussle with
the Tigers in Griffith Stadium. has
healed wonderfully well and that the
ankle action is as good and as strong
as ever.
The way he swung around the Biloxi
field incloSure and also the firm
stance he assumed at bat in his ini-
tial training session of the year. made
Kuhel's words ring true. And Trainer
Mike Martin, after examining the
Joint that caved that June day when
Kuhel slid into second base. Is salts
fed everything is in good shape.
That the first sacker, who with the
missus reached here late last night
from Washington. once more is sturdy
in his underpinning, eases the minds
of those in charge of the Nationals.
Had the cracked ankle not mended
well, had the ligaments and tendons
about it not responded quickly to in
tensive treatment, the Washington
club would have been in sad plight
90 far as first base is concerned.

CONSERVATION CHIEF AND
SENATOR DIFFER ON BOAT
Robert F. Duer Answers Chal-
lenge Regarding Yacht Which
Now Sails on Deep Creek Lake
ANSWERS ALL COMPLAINTS

Robert F. Duer, chairman of the
State Conservation Commission has
taken up the challenge recently hurled
by State Senator Harry T. Phoebus Or
SomerseD, regarding the Conservation
Department yacht which sails on Deer
Greek Lake in Garrett county.
Senator Phoebus, at the Republican
senator's meeting at Ocean City last
weekend, made these points regarding
the yacht:
That it is stationed on lake only
five miles long and half mile wide.
That the only marine life of the lake
is made up of "crappies."
That the Conservation Commission
had added a forty-foot yacht to the
fleet it found when it took office.
That it was striking that the Com
mission decided it needed a yacht
in Garrett county at the same time
that Garrett county resident became
a member.
That the yacht should be named
"Miss Appropriation"
Chairman Duer made these points
Tuesday:
That the vessel is only SO feet long
and that it takes the place of another
that had been reported unfit for SER
vice by Captain Amos S. Creighton
chief deputy commander of the State
fishery force.
That Deep Greek Lake really is be-
tween ten and eleven miles long and
from one and one-half to two miles
in width.
That trout and bass are profuse in
the lake and that the spot is favor
lite fishing center for wide area.
That boat was stationed on the
lake for fish patrol long before DR..
H. w. McComas became a member of
the Conservation Commission.
That the boat, as yet unnamed, cost
$4,000 when new two years ago and
was purchased by the Commission for
$7OO.
The money for the new vessel, Judge
Duer said, came from fund made up
from anglers licenses. Most of these
licenses, he added, are taken out by
residents of the Western Maryland
area for which Deep Greek Lake is a
favorite fishing ground.
Senator Phoebus brought up the
discussion of the matter at the Ocean
City conference of Republican sena-
tors following a talk with Senator
Clifford Friend, according to news
paper report printed Tuesday evening.
