not hold out as l had already af-
fixed my signature to a con-
tract. His smile told me that he
thought he had pierced the weak
chink i'm my hOldOut armOr.
But he was wrong.
Before deciding to hold out I
read every law book I could lay
my hands on, and there was not
one of them which said anything
about it being illegal to swap mo-
ney for bus rides In fact, I couldn't
find them linked together at all. 1
had my legal loophole, and | told
Breadon so.
VisibIy shaken by this bit Of
law, he asked me to be excused
for a moment. and / heard him
putting in a long distance call
to Branch Hickey, his general
manager and charge daffaires, no
doubt.
When he came back he took a
different tack.
What about that half a bus
ride?" he asked. II, too, read law
books, and I know that it is un-
lawful for a driver to stop in the
middle of a block to allow pas
senger to get out. You'd have TO
stay in until the full ride was over
and after your conduct this club
would never think of giving you a
half ride too much"
In a flash I knew the answer.
You're right" I said, "but I am
perfectly willing to put clause i'll
my new contract which gives the
half bus ride to charity. Some or
phan may have it for his annual
outing. III use only the 1872 bus
rides, the extra portion going to
the city or suburb through which l
happen to be passing at the time.
They may use it as they see fit"
Again he asked TO be excused
and again heard him telephoning
Then he returned.
81 talked TO Frisch,' he said
and frankie has asked that we
give in and grant your terms"
That's splendid" I said, "splen-
did. Good OF frankie. knew he
would recognize the justice of my
demands"
Inside me my heart sang Cor
sung. I had triumphed.
But" said Breadon, "Frisch
made one qualification. He said
to accede to your demands only il
you would promise to take the 1929
bus rides all at once, and without
getting off. and in bus headed
due west. He also said you must
start today"
Hurt to the quick, 7 bummed a
cigarette from Breadon and, turn
ing on my heel, walked smack In
TO a chest of drawers.
Up until noon today there hao
been no change in the situation
or the bump on my forehead.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, March
6. U.P)-Frankie Frisch and Sam
Breadon, already bothered by the
refusal of Dizzy Dean to come
to terms, were plunged into anoth-
er holdout war today when l, Hen
ry McLemore, st. Louis Cardinals
rookie, struck for more pay.
After a week in training camp l
realized the terms of the contract
offered me by owner Reardon-
fifty cents day and free bus trans
portation-was not adequate. On the
basis of 365 day year. that comes
to S182.5O and 730 bus rides. That's
enough bus rides, but not enough
money In my only conference with
Breadon, I demanded the amounts
be switched, giving me $73O and
1922 bus rids.
I pointed out to him that fifty
cents a day is not enough to eat on.
1t works all right for breakfast,
because you can get fairly sub
stantial one for fifty cents
But it took me only one day to
discover that when you have just
fifty cents a day to live on, and
spend it all for breakfast, it leaves
you practically nothing for lunch
and dinner. Actually, it doesn't
leave you even enough to play the
slot machines, and if don't play a
slot machine once day, I almost
go crazy. / guess it's because I just
have to have a lemon to keep my
system balanced
I also pointed out that 730 bus
rides in one year is too much for
anyone. That's specially true OF
someone like me, who always man
ages to get seat over the wheels,
and next to a woman with a baby
who alternately cries and peels
bananas.
