serted the holdout contingent
Thursday when his signed con-
tract WAS received by Business

Medeghini Is itching TO get

middle of March.
Another break in the ranks of
the holdouts is expected within
few days. The club is getting
together with several Of the boys

expected To be in the fold almost
any time.
Despite the receipt of Mede-
ghini's contract, the holdout
list Is long nj Tiger head

are dissatisfied with terms
Thursday were Ralph Noun

They fired their original offers
back with demands for more coin
