REYMONDS AND
 WELLSA. 6. MEET IN LEAGUE TILT.
Washington Park Games Tonight -Tribunes and
 Baldwin Props Paired

Two important games are listed en the Washington Park Commit eity house league tonight with the Reymond Hillies meeting the Wells 40. inthe main attraction at 9 o'clock while the Tribunes will stack mp against the Baldwin Props in the opener.
 The Wells lost to the Community club team last week in the opener of the second round and must win tonight's game to remain in the running for second round honors. "SQuint" Murphy, recently elected captain of next years Crosby high team, will be seen in the Wells line- lip while three Wilby players will see action for Red Gladney's co- horts. The Hillies record to date in the Communitl league is seven wins in eight starts and they will be out after their eighth league tri- umph tonight.
 The Tribes, defending champions who finished in fourth place in the first round, have strengthened con- siderably for the second round and should easily take the Props over tonight. Charley Lewis, Dave Bar- tolini and Sonny Connell, all for- mer city league players, will be seen in action with the Carrollmen to- night.

|S2O,OOO FIGURE REASONABLE ON
 BASIS OF RECORD
Gehrig, Foxx Paid We'll Over That FigureHank
 Under $lO,OOO in '3S
BY GEORGE KrRKsEY

United Press Stan C0rreSpOndemtl
 New York, March 12-The major leagues No. 1 holdout is not Dizzy Dean, but Hank Greenberg, the Detroit Tigers first baseman and the American leagues most valuable player.
 Dizzy has out-talked, out-threat- ened and out-headlined Greenberg, but the Tigers big slugger means business. He doesn't intend to re. port to the Detroit camp until he gets his price. Dizzy is already in the Cards camp at Bradenton, Fla, and is only talking for publication.
 Tigers Troubled
 The Cardinals aren't worrying about Dean. They are letting him wear himself out with threats, cha1-. ] 'ges and boasts. When he's all through Branch Rickey will sign him. The Tigers are worrying plenty about Greenberg.
 Their latest move designed to smoke out Greenberg is promise of bonus to each player now signed if they win the pennant again. Only players now in camp will cut in on this $50,000 melon planned by Wal- ter o. Briggs, new club owner. Greenberg can share in this bonus only by special dispensation of Briggs.
 A few days ago the Tigers sent Greenberg a contract calling for the original figure offered him. The lanky Bronx boy charges that the club made this move in an effort to make him appear unreasonable to the fans.
 Fair Enough
 With Lou Gehrig of the Yankees drawing $23,000 and Jimmy Foxx of the Red Sox drawing approximately the same figure, Greenberg's da- mands for a salary of about $20,00O does not seem exorbitant. Last year he is believed to have drawn less than slo,oo0, probably as low as $8000.
 Greenberg drove in ITO runs, tied Jimmy Foxx for the home run championship at 36, and batted 1928. This record combined with his selec- tion as the leagues most valuable player, gives Greenberg plenty for assuming his present stand, in ad- dition, he is an indispensable coz in the Tiger machine.

a Curious Parable

TT seems to me story most aptly chosen for any
graduating class of school college, and yet it is
a most curious parable to come from the lips of a
stanGpat Republican whose every declaration

let Nature and the Chamber of Commerce steer the
course.
Caleb was clearly radical. He urged his COM
rades to tackle the problems presented in a
world and to war with them, ever though it meant
a struggle against the giants.
Nevertheless, conservative counsel prevailed. The
pilgrims became lost people for 40 years because
they lacked the imagination to deal with setup
