Los Angeles, Feb. 26-(UP)-This is the time of year when any fellow with enough milk of human kind ness in him to make one beaten bis- cult cannot help but feel sorry for baseball players.
 Because this is the time of year when the wrangle over contracts brings to light that baseball players, insofar as their relations with the clubownerS are concerned, have no more rights than a Guernsey COW, a patch of real estate, or a tipsy driver going the wrong way down a one-way street.
 The ballplayers contract is mys- terious document, and few laymen have ever laid eyes on one. But it is pretty generally known that the party of the second parH. meaning the player, gets about as many breaks as fox at hands home coming.
 Expensive
 Take, for example, the present negotiations going on between the Chicago Cubs and Lou Novikoh, a prize rookie outfielder who is known in his family circle as the Mad Russian" No one knows for sure what the Cubs paid the Los Angeles Angels for Novikoff, but reliable guess place the purchase price in the neighborhood of $1O0,00O.
 The first contract the Cubs sent Novikof suggested a salary of something like $4,000 for 1941. He sent this one back unsigned, by air mail. The next one boosted the pay a trifle, and Novikof returned it not only unsigned and by air mail, but with a special delivery stamp on it. The Cubs offer graciously gave Lou the unwelcome chance of playing major league baseball for a minor league salary.
 This sort of thing scarcely adds up, does 1t? If Novikoff is good enough to warrant a $100,000 out lay by the Cubs, then he must be good esnough to draw a salary of, say, at least 10 per cent of that amount. You would be hard pressed to name any other business where . similar situation could arise. No manufacturing concern would think of trying to hire crack executive from another concern by offering him less than he was making where he was.
 Too, Novikof has this argument on his side. He is the most pulp licized rookie of the year. There isn't a baseball fan in the country who hasn't read of his eccentric rabits and his terrific hitting. And baseball lives on publicity. Novikoff, of his advance notices, is a draw ing card already and will pull Cub customers into Dentyne or Black jack or whatever field it is, from the very first day.
 The Cubs are pretty well sold on Novikoff'S ability as a player, as the purchase price and the comments of officials prove. Manager Jimmy Wilson says the big fellow who led the coast league in ba atting, home runs and runs batted in last year appears to be a cinch to start ir left field.
 Must Sign Up
 That is, of course, if Novikof signs And he will, because he hasn't any more choice of what he will do than Jonah did when he was rooming with the whale. If he rearS back and gets stubborn he'll just have to stay out of baseball. The Cubs own him, body, soul and sliding pads. Just as the Tanks own Di- Maggie and the other clubs own the other players who are holding out.
 Some day this situation will be remedied, probably by Judge LandiS, who has the player at heart. The

 Returning from a Pittsburgh visit, Bowser said yesterday the condi- tions were acceptable both to him. self and Tillet. Murphy was not immediately available for comment.
 Bowser said he suggested the Arena as meeting place for final negotiations because it was neces- sary that both parties be repre- sented when the match is closed. This also will give the senator a chance to look over the ring"
 My only stipulation" BowseT said, "is that the senator agree that he will not hold the Angel liable for any personal injuries he may receive in this contest"
 Murphy has branded the Angel a "faker" and promised to toss him out of the ring into Bowser's lap.
