Yankee Third Baseman Says
He Will Stand Out For

Robert Red Rolfe, great Yankee
third baseman, paused long enough
at his new gasoline filling station
today to aver he was not a hold
out but that unless a goodly chunk
was added to his pay check-there
might be a little trouble"
Once a placid listener in base

has decided to take care of the
Rolfe end of the situation. He tilt

year it's going to be different from
a salary of $4,000 last year..
I'm entitled to q boost, and a

Last season I led the league in
three departments and 1 had the
best year in my whole career. If
they're paying off as usual on past
performances, I want NINE"
He grinned as he recalled his eff

got nowhere"
But I've got something this

sent me a contract yet so I don't
know what the story is. But
certainly earned a boost, and a bic

to fool around and there might be

Mccarthy realizes that it is i'm

has selected a squad of great play
ers' over the 25-year period since
he has been in baseball.
His choice of this squad lists:

Dizzy Dean, right-handed pitchers,
