New York, March l6-(UP)-It's been ten days since I quit the camp of the St. Louis Cardinals in Daytona Beach and began my hold- out for more money.
 As all the world knows they of- Sered me $l82.5O and 730 free bus rides a year, and l am holding out for $7S0 and 182h rides. All I want to do Is switch the rides and the money, and 1t seems fair enough to me because the way l figure 1t won't cost the Cards anything.
 So far I haven't heard word from Manager Frankie Frisch or Omner Sam Breadon since I left to come up here and be swallowed up in the maw of the great city, as the saying goes. I'm not worried about not hearing, you understand, but I know they haven't tried to reach me because I have been call- ing the post office and the telegraph companies five and six times a day, just as a sort of check. My post man, who is a great baseball fan and almost sick at the thought of me not getting my big chance, has been helping me, too. Every day after he gets through with his route he goes back to the post office and roots through the left over mail to be sure a postcard, or something little like that, for me hasn't been overlooked.
 Fans Are Sore
 As say, I'm not worried because I know Frisch and Breadon are just bluffing. I know too that some oi the st. Louis fans are making 4 pretty hot for them, because & fel- low down in Daytona has sent me some letters Frisch has received from the fans. I'll let you read a few.

"You chiselers you! You buns Another Hans Wagner comes along and just because he can't field or hit you won't meet his demands You oughta give that club of yours back to rndians-if Slapnicka would have it!" <.
 Still another one, signed by Lord and Taylor, starts out:
 For the past seven months we have been dunning you for the bill you ran up three years. 5"
 "No, that's wrong. That's one I got. Just forget it.
 I don't think it will be long be- fore Frisch and Breadon yield to this tremendous outside pressure and agree to my terms. see by the dispatches that the Cards lost 8 game to the Giants in Havana yesterday, so I guess they'll soon start burning up the wires beseech- ing me to come and bolster the team. That defeat will bring them to their senses if anything will, be- cause when a team starts getting beaten by the Giants it's in a ba6 way, as all who bet on the Giants in the last World series know. It'A a sure sign of decay when the Giants lick you at anything. The Giants have been beaten almost every day by a bunch of cigarmak- CTS who took the field all tired out from rolling nickle cigars to sell for fifteen cents.
 Bad News
 And the game was lost by an error by the shortstop, which is the position I tried for. The ball he missed never would have gotten past me. It couldn't, because the shoes Trisch and Breadon gave me to wear were so big that when I stood at Ghortstop my toes itched ct second and third bases. was dif- ferent from the other sfortstops In the training camp. They all said the hardest bayy to get was one hit right at you. That kind was the easiest for me. because all did was to squat. shut my eyes, and walt. Then I'd get tho ball on the 0rSC boMnce--the first bounce on me- I mean.
 Tn the game yesterday the oaT- dinals didn't get but one ny on Hubbell. I heard the boys taking about Huhbeil at camp and they add he had too much stun. That's where I had 'em again, hecelase ! shut my eyes when I swing and that makes ell pitchers the same. gzubbell wouldn't be any different than a enndiotter to me, and \ Imagine I'd hit him freely.

 Clark felt that some action would be taken ct the present session.
 Administration leaders, including Majority Leader Alhen w. Barkley, Do ynocrat, Kentucky, took the view that action must necessarily be de- layed until the regular session in January.
 While friendly toward revision of the tax, Barkley said 1t obviously would be impossible for the Con- gress to act ct this special session without undue haste.

 For those who seek immediate congressional action to encourage business, the Senate filibuster opened the way for two unexpected developments.
 First, the hope for action ct the special session on @ group Control bill as requested by President Roose- welt was bolstered by the pressure of the filibusters on the Senate Agricultural Committee to report A
