RAMbLERS MEET EAGLES SUNDAY
ROubelI, Ex-GoaIie of New Haven Team With
 Enemy"

New Haven, Jan. 23.-Littlc Lloyd Roubell, former center ice man with the New Haven Eagles, will be seen in action here for the first time in a couple of months when he skates out with the lcague-leading Pmla- delphia Ramblers on Sunday night.
 Roubell. cut loose from the New Haven club, made a lucky move when he caught on with the Ramb- lers last year. He moved in with d club that won the league cham pionship and he stuck with them this year and they are again headed for the title.
 At least 1t would seem that way from the standings now. Since December 27 the Ramblers haven't been beaten and that covers q stretch of ten straight games. Rou- bell wasn't in all of them, though, for he was on the shelf with a Fractured leg. But during the last live he has had a hand in the victories.
 The Eagles will be gunning to anap that winning streak, and still fighting for that very elusive third place tic with the Providence Reds. Third place mean spot in the Championship playoffs and :hc Eagles aim to get in.

PERCY, CAvELL DRAW AGAIN AS
 TWIN k0.O| OCCURS
Lively Mat Show Draws 800 Fans-Two Wres-
 tiers Finish on Stage

Maurice Leo Cavell and Walter Percy of England are still all even insofar as 2 wrestling decision is concerned for they met last night at Buckingham hall and for the sec- ond time wound up all even at the finish of their bout. This time, the finish was a little different (windup No. 46B) to be exact, the pair pumping nogginS 50 hard that, they were counted out on the floor of the ring as the bout wound up as an official draw, after each had won a fall. To make the show little
 more exciting for about $50 people who braved rainy night to see the grspplers perform, Max the Panther and Joe RosinSkas started in the ring where both were disqualified for series of fouls, and wounded up on the stage, with Red Dragon in the role of peacemaker, which also misflred as the tangle that resulted on the stage was more exciting that all of the ring performances, good though they were. In all, 1t was one lively show. The Panther'S flying tackle was working overtime in and out of the :ing,, the boys going 27 minutes of their, scheduled half hour bout when both were" busted, by Referee Jack Fischman. q, 4.
 4 All Even
 In the main go, Percy won the first fall in about l5t minutes with an, arm lock and body slam while Cavell turned the tables with B few deft twists to even the count in less than 10 minutes. Then came. the unorthodox finish and near double skull fractures. Red Dragon threw James J. McMulIen in less than IS minutes after some wild mat work that made the fans want to see Mo- Mullen pull him apart while John Podubny of Russia tossed Ray Bos- well in 12:ll as 8 substitute bout for the Sampson and Sylcowski ai- fair which ended when Sampson's s eyebrow was cut in less than q min ute. George Lanthier dropped the duke to Stanley zalinski of Boston in 16:21 after working like g sure winner. A body lock did the trick.

HOLDOUTS SET 7. DIZZY PACE. AS
 CONTRACTSFL.t'I
Selkirk, Bonura, AppIing Among Early Dissatis-
 fled Players
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Stan COrrespondent)
 New York, Jan. 25.-lUP) 1.-The annual scream of baSeballIs hold outs rose in volume today with an increasing number wailing the i1- justice of salaries offered in 1887 contracts. @r
 George "Twinkletoes" Selkirk re- turned his contract unsigned to the world champion New York Yan- kees from his Rochester, N. F., home last night. Tt called for . slight raise" he said, refusing to reveal actual, figures, but not the amount I believe I'm worth based on my rlay in the Yank outfield last year George batted .306 in 1936, and was one of five Yankees to drive in moro than. 100 runs. 1
 Zeke Bonura, best fielding first ba;efnan in the American League last year, refused to sign his con- tract at the reported 1000 offered, and returned 1t to Chicago White So's owner. Louis Comiskcy. with a note suggesting $l5,000. Con1iskcy also hasn't yet satisfied Luke Ap- bling, White sox shortstop who hit .3ss last year. Appling wants $20,0OO. but Comiskey wants him to sign for $15,0O0 with a bonus agreement.
 National League batting cham pion Paul Waner is another wiio does not believe his 1897 contract called for big enough raise. He gave 1t one glance and dropped u back in the mail requesting more money from Pittsburgh Pirstc President Bill Benswanger. Paul smacked the ball at g .373 clip kst season. Ills brother, Lloyd, accepted, terms offered him.
 The loudest cry of all is still forth coming-from Dizzy Dean, ace hur- Ter of the St. Louis Cardinals. To matter what Dig is offered, 1t is Q safe bet he will emit the biggest squawk. He remembers only too well the fancy price at which Branch Hickey tried to peddle him to vir- tually every club in the National League.
 At least Dizzy will not have BrCtner Eaul (DaHy"OaQuy) OH I1' side this year. The younger Dean who was out most of the season with [ injured pitching arm grabbed
 -ickey's first offer.
 Selkirk is the only known holdout of the champion Yankees, but tae world series yinrer always has the hardest time signing it's players ne;:t ceason. Some of the moro likely holdouts are Joe DiMaggio. prize rookie outlelder, and Vernon Left;' Gomez, Gomez two year contrsrt at $20,O00 has run out. and. Lefts didn't win but, B games last year. It, is believed DiMaggio will Yaat more than he was offered because of the $l0.0oO contract the C]eye" land Indians signed with their rookie pitcher. Bob Fellev.
