 NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-BaSeball's holdout and holler boys are in full cry again with screams over salaries that bring to mind the feat of the greatest gold-digger of them all
 It was just 10 years ago that Ruth startled the baseball fraternity by getting Col Jake Ruppert's sigma ture on twc-year contract calling for $80,000 a season. That's the biggest salary in baseball history. No player or manager will draw half as much this coming season.
 Ruth's holdouts and eventual dis agreements were staged with all the deftness of a Broadway theatre pro- duction. The first act saw Ruth get an offer from Ruppert and dis dainfully fling it back. In the sev- eral scenes of the second act Ruth would be shown holding his ground and threatening to quit baseball. The Colonel held just as firmly to his stand. Ruth would not get a copper cent above Ruppert's original offer Then, in the final act, Ruth and Ruppert would meet, appar- ently in an entirely accidental man. her. under St. Petersburg's warm sun
 Of course, it was just coinci- depce that a battery of cameramen happened to pass by and shoot the Colonel and the Babe in a dozen asserted poses as they lingly agreed on terms. It was in simi- lar scene in St. Petersburg that Ruth signed the all-time high 80 grand contract on March 10, 1880.
 DiMaggio Top Man?
 Both players and club owners are reluctant to discuss salaries but from reports drifting around it appears that Joe Dimaggio or Hank Green berg likely will be the top paid per- formers in 1940
 DiMaggio, who probably got around 27,5O0 last year, is due for raise, while Greenberg, whose home run production fell off in 1889, probably will be slashed The Detroit veteran, who will leave first base for the outfield this year, sup posedly gathered around $40,000 in salary and bonus after his four base splurge in 1888.
 The Yankees likely offered Di- Maggie $30,O00 but he probably will get a bit more. Word from De- troit is that Hank will be given be- tween $25,OoO and $3O,OO0 with a good sized bonus to kick his total higher if he has big year.
 Bob Teller should top all pitchers with his $27.500 figure
 eatsh AII-Grcenback Team
 Based on official reports the high est paid players for 1940 by posi- ticns should read something like this:
 Pitcher Bob Teller, Cleveland, $27,5O0
 Catcher-Bill Dickey, New York Yankees. and Gabby Hartnett, Chi cago Cubs, around $25,000. (Part of Gabbys pay comes from manag- ing the CubS).

F. F. A. Notes

The agriculture II students of
the Coolidge Union High School
took a field trip out to Mr.. Peter
Chimits' ranch southwest of Coo
lidge. The purpose of this trip
was to demonstrate to the boys
how to castrate calves. Mr..
Chimits had 16 calves to be cast
rated.
All the students helped in
castrating; they are as follows:
Bill Wynn, Leon Smith, Verne
Wuertz, Ross Watson, Roy Wing,
George Langford, Bob Sweeper,
Junior Shoemaker, Bill Higgin
botham, and Jim Elkins. The
castrating was supervised by Mr.
Robert M. Springfield, the agri
culture teacher.
Leon Smith did a swell job in
helping the men rope the calves
The bloodless method of using the
castrating clamps was used on
three of the small calves but the
rest were too large for this
method.
The field trip gave the boys
some excellent experience as well
as a lot of fun.

UNION ANSWERS
DOCTORS ATTACK
ON HEALTH PLAN
(By Federated Press)

NEW YORK.-Criticism OF its new
group medical plan by the New York
County Medical Society brought a
sharp retort from local 802, American
Federation of Musicians (AFL).
An editorial in the New York Med1-
cal Week official journal OF the So
ciety, complained that the unions plan
for providing free medical service and
free disqualification for unemployed
members interfered with the free
choice Of physicians"
Pointing out that the organized doc
tors have failed to solve the problem
of adequate medical care for those
who can't afford present rates, Local
Secretary William Feinberg COM
mented:
seems to be the attitude of the doc
tors associations. Labor is not content
to be hamstrung by such dog-in-the-
manger policy. We know the needs Of
our INDECENT unemployed. We feel an
obligation to exert our every effort
to help meet the problem of medical
services for our needy"
1t was also pointed out by the union
that unemployed persons have no free
choice of physicians anyway, since
they must accept whatever care is CIV
en- them at public institutions or
charity clinics.
An expert on group health, not con-
nected with local 802, made this OBJ |
servation: "The medical society is off |
on the wrong foot, when it talks about
interfering with free choice of physi-
clans By adopting their own plan, the
union members are exercising free
choice in very positive and demo-
cratic way"
