Change of Heart

But one year beyond the pale
of the game was enough for him
and by another spring he was
glad to get back to what IL
months before he had been
terming the ceaSeless baseball
grind.
Mike Donlin avoided the
Giants once for a similar span'
accompanying his wife, Mabel
Hite, then a reigning come
dienne, on a tour Of the coun-
trys footlights.
when Mike thought better
of his truancy and attempted a
comeback, he found the game
had slipped away from him and
that he had completely lost his
stride. He was soon out OF
the game.
The other famous holdout
was Ed Rousch, the Cincinnati
Redleg, often a problem child
In this respect, whose longest
absence was in 1922.
Our own Yves Ferrell, while a
Cleveland pitcher four years
ago, decided to loiter among his
beloved petunia beds, rather
than sign, but June saw h i'm
traded to the Red Sox and he
was eager to get back on the
pitching mound.
Then there was WaShington'S
$3.50 catcher. Cliff Bolton, who
in 1884 sat for half the season
on the porch Of his North Caro-
lima grocery before signing.
When customers didn't stam-
pede his store, he broke his
strike in July, deciding half a
years salary was better tn a n
none.

Potent Argument

Whatever his inward calcula-
tions, Manush has had some
thing more than one leg on
which to stand in his dealings.
His 1893 hitting mark led the
Brooklyn outfield last year and
there, indeed, is a potent argu-
ment.
A bali players ball player,
Manush too is popular IN
BROOKLYN, a city ever sensitive
to the finer things of the game.
possibly because so few have
come its way.
I am not one who holds as
publicity stunts the open differ
ences in valuation which exist
between owners and players.
That Is, do not so hold them
In every case.
There are bound to be many
honest differences OF opinion
over actual worth when con-
tracts are to be signed. The old
law of supply and demand oper-
ates here. so it can't be all a
matter of just SO much palaver
TO faScinate the fans.
In the great background OF
the game the instances have
been rare wherein players long
stayed without the fold.
