GROWN ACCEPTS BURDEN OF FORK HOLDOUT SIEGE
Up to Manager to Get Star to Sign Despite
 $5,OOO "Cut"
BY ERNEST BARCELLA Limited Press Stan Correspondent

Boston, Feb. 25 - (UP) - It's squarely up to manager Joe Cronin to sign the recalcitrant Jimmy Foxx slugging first-sacker of the Boston Red SoX.
 That, in effect, was the edict is- sued today by general manager Ed die Collins, who didn't exactly ap- pear pleased that Foxx should be displeased with terms of his 1887 contract.
 Foxx. according to a dispatch from Sarasota, Fla, hasn't signed yet because he has been asked to take $5000 salary slash. And he won't put his signature on the doc ument until he talks things over with Cronin and gets what he thinks is a just price.
 It was obvious that the big first baseman's displeaSure was beginning to irk Collins. Or maybe 1t was the flood of queries that have followed the disclosure that Foxx isn't satis- fled with terms. At any rate, Col lirlS wasn't in talkative mood.
 Passes The Buck
 T have no commnet to make. It's up to Cronin, who is now at Orlan- do, to sign Foxx," Collins said crisp ly and firmly. I'm sure, however, that when Cronin contacts him within week or so, Foxx will sign, I don't think Jimmy will wait until I get to Sarasota, because I don't know whether I'll go south this year."
 Collins would not confirm or deny the report Foxx had been asked to take salaIy cut. And, obviously, he wouldn't talk figures. After all, that's private business. It was un- derstood, however. that Foxx got approximately 25,0oO of Tom Yaw- keys millions last season.
 It's Thisaway
 Whether Foxx is worth as much, less or more than last year is a matter of conjuncture. Records for 1886 show that he has the following arguments in his favor.
 l. He was by far the best hitter in losing cause. batting for .338, hitting Al i-ome runs, driving in 143 tallies and scoring 130.
 2. He undoubtedly is the teams best drawing card.
 3. Boss Yawkey has admitted Foxx is one of the very few big name players on the club who lived up to advance notices.
 On the other side of the case, there are these arguments: l. In 585 times at bat, he struck out 119 times, or once in every five official trips to the plate. He was far ahead of all rivals for that dub ious honor. ? 2. His fielding left much to be desired. He ranked sixth among regular American league first-sack- CTS.
 3. From where we sat, 1t didn't seem that Foxx was trying his hard est. A number of his teammates could be accused of the same crime.
 They say that Cronin, who has had more than his share of head

 The Zaros, who like flood have swept everything before them, also toppled the highly rated Zammas right out of first place by taking three games Friday night, and Capt.

 The Ebrons and the Efers who were tied for third place put up quite an exhibition and for @ time 1t seemed that the Ebrons were in for facing due to the fact that their anchor man Al Carpenter was out sick, but when the smoke of battle clered the Ebrons had put two games in the bag and believe 1t or not "Alphonse" Telesco again was the big guns for the Ebrons.

PATTY BERG 10
 FACE ACID TEST IN K. HEMPHILL
Long Hitting Southern Golf Star Had 73-Jean
 Bauer Upset

Ormond Beach, Fla, Feb. 25- CUP)-Patty Berg of Minneapolis appeared to have but one hurdle in her path to the South Atlantic Wo- mems golf championship today after two of her closest rivals were elirn- mated in the first round.
 But that barrier is 8 Formidable one, being none other than Husky Kathryn Hemphill of Columbia. s. O., one of the longest hitters wo- mems golf has ever known, and the girl who won the medalist honors with smashing 73.
 In defea ing Mrs. W. A. Stafford of New York, 8 and 6, in the first round yesterday, Miss Hemphill shot nearly perfect golf. She was out in less than par, and undoubtedly would have established a new course record had she been forced to play the short and easy back nine.
 Easy Start
 Miss Berg who sinothered Mrs. Gladys Blaisdell of Waterville, Me, 8 and 2 in the first round, plays Dorothy Traung of San Francisco today. Miss Traung eliminated Dean Van Landingham of Charleston, s. C., and 3. Miss Berg was badly off her game against Mrs. Blaisdell, but it didn't matter. the Main woman suffered an acute attack of jitters and was all over the course.
 Betty Botterill of Salt Lake City, the girl who furnished the tourna- ment with it's first surprise when she eliminated Helen Detweiller of Washington, D. O., 2-up, meets Mar ion Miley, 1885 title-holder, today. It was Miss Detweiller who played Miss Berg in the Palm Beach final a week ago. Miss Miley barely es- capped elimination, for 1t was only by a 35-foot putt on the home green that the Kentuckian defeated Mar ion Gayer of Charleston. s. c.
 Mrs. William Hockenjos, of Lake N. J., furnished the tournament with its No. upset when she defeated Jean Bauer. Rhode Island ace, 3 and 2. plays Miss Goldie Bateson of Milwaukee.

Nattiness Makes Way to Success Easier
CnU Clothes Personal Iuvestn1ent That's AU Wool

clothes considered just as cold business investment and they re- piled unanimously to the effect that it pays to put up front" even when it covers an empty stomach.
 A Tailor-Made Break
 Guy Lombardo, headlined band leader, declares that while clothes don't make the man, "they are often the letter of recommendation that causes thoce who read it to be pre- disposed in the bearers favor."
 He told the story of young mu- sician of excellent talent, who, be- cause he was too broke to buy clothes, could not make a good enough impression at the agencies to get the hearing he needed. Lom- bardo and some friends staked him to a first class outf1t-and P. s. He got the job."
 Ganny koss, one of the most successful young tenors on the airways, said that the dollar and cents value of good appearance was earl. impressed on him when, as boy, he toured England with the ben Great Shakespearean Players of which famous troupe his father was member.
 Speaking of the efforts of these repertory players to put salt on the tail of the comet of success Ross sad: T noticed that the troupers who were most success full in putting themselves over with managers were the ones who spent their last half crowns and went hungry--to get their clothes presentable when there was an interview impending"
 Downey Learns Lesson
 Another tenor's experience was different, but the lesson he learned was the same. Morton Downey has done many things, from selling in- sGrance to running a donkey en- zine. His efforts to get those jobs Gall except the donkey engine one, perhaps) taught him that clothes are most important in getting past the office boy into the big shot.
 Once, pretty sloppily dressed. he answered an insurance company's advertisement. Half a dozen other youngsters were after the same job. He got such short shrift from the personnel manager that he stuck around to see who won out. The lad who got the job was the one who was neat and well-dreSsed.
 T got 6 job with another com pany later" said Downey. But this time had my hair cut, my coat collar down, my suit pressed and my shoes shined so they re- fiected the freckles on my nose"

 Most women arc unconscious ly clothes-conscious,' she said. And they're full of domestic in- stincts whether they'll admit 1t or not. So a well-groomed appear ance helps make a good impress sion for two reasons: if she's a Mayfair Park Avenue ultra-sophis- ticate, she'll resent carelessness of dress that rouses the old hausfrau instinct she's trying to suppress.
