PAY TILT FOLLOWS
OTIS BAD SEASON
$4,000 Is Thought Salary
of Easy-to-Sign Giant.
Isn't Quite 20.
By GAYLE TALBOT.

n YEW YORK, Jan. % (P>-Mel
M OFT, the Little Hotfoot" of
VI the Giants. has mailed in his
4 signed contract, so it looks as
though there will be a baseball CAM
paisn despite the current holdout
epidemic.
If the modest star from Gretna,
La, ever does fail to send signed
contract back by return post, the mag
mates might begin to worry. For the
day each January when Mel's sigma
ture hits the Giants desk the word
goes around, "All's we'll"
Though he's been a star almots
from the day John McGraw yanked
him out Of Gretna High School, kid
of 16, OFT never once has even ques-
toned the first contract offered him.
The coming season will be his thir-
teenth as an active Giant.
Pay Thought to Be $4,000.
How much more money OFT might
have made out of the Giants by
giving them All annual spring argu-
ment is difficult to reckon. But OFT
is satisfied, and he's doing all right.
His salary for the coming season is
generally believed to be around $4,000,
making him possibly the highest-paid
infielder In the National League. He
was, of course, an outfielder for all
his big league career until Manager
Bill Terry shifted him to third base
in midseason last year. He'll prob
ably end his days now at the cozy
corner.
Otis unfailing serenity and his re-
fusal to join the annual holdout brig
ade have gained him the title "the
perfect player" He isn't quite 20 yet
and probably will get a few more salary
hikes before he's through. Maybe his
way of doing business has its rewards.
Has Bad Season in '37.
7 Asst season was one of Mel's poor
est. He hit only .294 and was
benched for a period. That hadn't
happened to him before. A player who
had been in the habit of kicking up a
salary rumpus in his fat years might
have been docked for such lapse.
But OFT got raise.
The Louisiana boy, incidentally, IS
one of the last Of fast
group who jumped straight into the
big show from sandlot or campus and
never looked back.
Ted Lyons, who went to the Chicago
White Sox from Baylor University in
1923; Luke Sewell, who Joined Cleve-
land from the University of Alabama
in 1921, and frankie Frisch, taken of
the Fordham team in 1919 by McGraw,
are the only others remaining.
OFT was the third Giant regular to
sign, Pitcher Carl Hubbell and First
Baseman Johnny Mccarthy having
accepted the clubs original terms.
Only Hank Lieber, outtlelder, and
Harry Danning, catcher, were listed As
genuine holdouts.
The Yankees reduced their worries
somewhat with the signing of George
selkirk, slugging outfielder, who came
down from his home at Rochester to
reach an agreement.

Whisser White, Also Snappy
On Court, Finds Basket Ball
In Ways Rough as Football

Naturally, I don't mean a player
can get banged up as in football, but
for a game in which you're supposed
to shoot and pass and cut there is
lot Of rough-and- tumble play"
Not that the Whizzer's complaining
not with his blacksmith's shoulders
and wrestler's legs. Recently, some
Brigham Young players accused White
of football tactics" after their cap
tain was injured in collision with
the Colorado star.
White countered with the assertion
he never Intentionally played dirty
basket ball and don't intend to start
now" Eddie Kimball, Brigham Young
director Of athletics, closed the Incl
dent" by calling the collision acci-
dental and White "a fine sportsman"
COME experts contend White is as
capable on the basket ball floor
as he is with a football. His coach,
Forrest F'rosty) Cox. former Kansas
University football and basket ball
star, says:
I'm firmly convinced Byron could
make the all-conference team in any
conference in the country"

athletic director of American Univer-
sity. said today he would revive the
sport at A. U. next week.
He will Introduce boxing as an intra-
mural activity. but will urge that it be
made a varsity sport, and if this is
granted will seek three or four inter-
collegiate matches this year, focusing
on Maryland and Catholic U.
WEIGH would coach the team. He

Gus would follow an unorthodox
slant at A. U. He would attempt to
hold fighting to minimum.

WEIGH. sis the only sport now

blance Of what the term implies.
What would like to see-and what
Americans opponents will see. if we
have varsity team-is return to
scientific boxing, with bouts won on
points rather than knockouts"
In his objective to restore science to
boxing, Welch would experiment with
heavier glove, to remove some of the
damage now done by the slugging type
OF boxer" on youthful chinS.
II he succeeds in selling" A. US
faculty on varsity boxing WEIGH will
have taken another big step in his
long-range goal of making American
U. an athletic power in this sector.
Although winning only one game, the
Eagles played as interesting football
probably as any team in this vicinity.
The 1887 Eagles aroused more general
interest, at any rate, than any preced-
ing A. U. team.
Doing Okay in Basket Ball.
THE current A. U. basket ball team
apparently is attracting as much
attention, for WEIGH said today that
blocks OF reserved seats are being sold
to outsiders for Eagle home games.
Under Staff Cassell an Orange and
Blue alumnus and Welch's aide, the
team is performing above the par of
recent A. U. quints and numbers
among its victims Catholic Univer-
sity-played in the Cardinals gym.
WEIGH harbors the idea OF lacrosse
team for American. 1t would be only
the second in this vicinity, Maryland
having the other.
All In all, it seems that Welch is
making headway in establishing ath-
letics on q sound all-round basis at
A. U. He not only has aroused student
Interest but outsiders curiosity.

game really isn't slipping, J.
Donald Bulge, top man Of
amateur tennis, met young Jack Brom-
wich today in far-off Adelaide for the
Australia tennis championship.
1t may have come as surprise to
his more apprehensive followers that
the California conquistador got that
far in the last tournament of his
Antipodean tour But it didn't furnish
even slight jolt to the officials Of the
U. S. L. T. A., notably Walter Pate,
captain OF the 1887 Davis Cup team.
It's true that Don was beaten by
Bromwich in . recent exhibition, and
that Australian spectators were disap-
pointed greatly when he dropped the
decision to Germany's Baron Gottfried
Won Cramm in another.
But Don and his doubles partner,
Gene Mako, went to Australia with
the definite understanding that they
were not to play too much tennis.
No Extensive Plans.

about his game, from the tone Of
