Brooklyn LOT Of 10
Baking Players
Club President PIons
To Get Most in Line
In Next Two Doys
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
A.s,c;...s pr... snort. ur,t.,

Associated Press SportS Wflter.
BROOKLYN, Feb. 1.-THE
Brooklyn Dodgers, who already have
three holdouts, are getting ready
for some really serious salary nego-
tiations early next week.
At present the National League
champions have % players signed,
leaving 10, most Of them high priced
stars, still out Of the fold.
President Larry MacPhail hopes
to NOW through this latter group
in three days next week with less
effort than it takes to cut the
meadow of his Maryland farm.
Monday he has dates with First
Baseman Dolp1 Camilli, the leading
slugger and most valuable player of
the senior circuit, and Pitcher Curt
Davis. Both are expected to arrive
here by plane from California to-
morrow.
Good Stunt II He Can Do 1t.
Monday night he will take plane
himself for Miami and Tuesday and
Wednesday he will interview Joe
Medwick, Arky Vaughan, Dixie
Walker, Don Padgett, Johnny Allen
and Whitlow Wyatt before the
whole Dodger contingent boards a
couple of chartered planes TOR the
training camp in Havana.
This is quite a program and a
good stunt if MacPhail can do It.,
even though it makes no provision
whatever for the cases OF pitchers
Larry French and Jack Kraus, who.
with Wyatt, constitute Brooklyns
holdout brigade.
Camilli has maintained for
midable silence all winter at his
ranch deep in the hills Of Califor-
mia. He staged such determined
holdout two years ago that he and
MacPhail almost came to blows
when they finally met to talk terms.
He was paid about $4,000 last year
and earned it all-leading the league
In home runs and runs batted in and
helping the club to a pennant by
his steady all-around performance.
Would @JIVS Sdmllu SGO,UVO.
MacPhail is understood to be
willing to grant him a $4,000 salary
this season without a debate. but II
Camilli asks S25,000 or more there
is pretty sure to be some wrangllng.
MacPhail also was willing to give
q raise to Wyatt, his pitching ace
who captured % victories last sea-
son. but when the Georgia right
handler suggested his pay should be
raised from 1880 to about $40 1000,
the redhead walked out Of their
conference last week. They prob
ably will compromise when they
meet in Miami.
The others MacPhail will talk to
In Florida are not known to have
any differences with the club about
salary. Medwick has indicated he
is agreeable to cut from his present
$4,000, Walker probably will be
given a bonus arrangement similar
to the one he had last year and
Padgett aand Vaughan likely Will
get the same scale they received
with the Cardinals and Pirates,
respectively.
French Faces Heavy Cut.
French, a veteran Of 13 years In
the National League, came to the
Dodgers last August on waivers, but
with a $4,000 salary contract made
out by the Cubs. MacPhail offered
him one for about s5 500 this season.
Kraus, the other holdout, is
rookie brought up from the Glass
B Durham Club. He said he could
make more money outside baseball
than the Dodgers offered and Mac
Phail told him to go ahead.

The site was recently acquired by

The r. F. c. financed construc-

American motor torpedo boat has
torpedoed q Japanese warship IN
Manila Bay.
Making these disclosures, the Navy
also revealed that one Of its tank
ers, the U. S. s. Neches, 5,400-ton
craft, had been sunk in an undes-
ignated area by an enemy subma-
rine. Fifty-six men have not been
accounted for, 1t said, but 126 are
safe at an unnamed port.
The Neches was the seventh
American naval vessel to go to the
bottom since the war began on De-
cember /. She was built in 1920 and
was armed with four 5-inch and
two 3-inch guns.
Not Claimed to Be Reinforcements.
The Navy gave no details about
the Navy bluejackets and marines
now fighting with Gen. Macarthur,
simply stating that they had been
organized into a battalion and were
doing battle with the Japs. They
presumably consist of several hun
dred men.
There was speculation that these
forces may have been left behind
Gen. MacArthur's lines when the
Navy withdrew from the Philip
pines.
Although the Navy announced
when its base at Cavite was
abandoned that its personnel had
been evacuated, 1t was recalled that
Gen. MacArthur's original Batan
line encompassed the secondary
naval station at Olongapo on Subic
Bay.
When the Navy announced the
formation of the battalion yesterday,
there was at first disposition to
believe that 1t represented reinforce
ments sent to Batan from the out
side world, but this impression later
was corrected.
Ship Attacked in Bay.
The attack on a Japanese warship
in Manila Bay was another chapter
in the growing record Of the accom-
plishments of the Nays powerful
little motor torpedo boats, which
skim over the wave crests at 10 to
80 miles per hour, loose their
torpedoes and zig-zag away, count

the Germans are working on a uni
versal airplane engine suitable to
all types Of planes which is ex-
pected to be in use this year. Pre-
sumably it would solve many prob.
lens Of supply, repair and salvage.
The British believe the Germans
are planning to use great smoke
screens capable of blanketing a
whole countryside in order to con-
ceal their own movements of attack
and confuse the defense when they
start their spring offensive. 1t was
tried experimentally in Flanders in
1910.
Another new type Of smoke screen
Is being used by Italy to blanket
factories and industrial areas during
afraid alarms.
Axis reports said the Firms had
captured a Russian gun which was
fire automatically by a photo
electric circuit.
These reports also told OF a Jape-
nese inventor who has developed a
machine gun capable Of firing 1000
shots q minute.
The Swedish Army announced q
new electric mine especially efiec-
tive as defense against tanks.
So it goes around the world, each
country feverishly striving to find
the new secret weapon.

forces at Balik Papan were able to
consolidate their position, which ap-

Troops Sent
Into Burma Fighting
Supported by Planes
Forces Skirmish With
Jops Along 40 Miles
Of SuIween River

BY the Associated Press.
RANGOON, Burma, Feb. 3 ODE
layedD. - Well-trained imperial
troops hurled into the battle for
Burma alongside native battalions
skirmished tonight with Japanese
patrols along 40 miles Of the lower
Salween River front, but a COM
munique made clear that the jap
anese thrusts had not taken on the
power of full-scale attack.
The communique disclosed that at
least in some places &long the river
north of abandoned Moulmein the
British still held outposts east Of the
deep, wide jungle stream. One such
British force was said to have met a
small Japanese advance unit 80
miles north Of Moulmein on the
east side of the river.
The imperial troops, sent into the
fight over the last week end appar-
emily were encountering only feeler
thrusts by the Japanese-and hold
ing those well in check.
They were supported by British
bombers and British and American
volunteer fighters who smashed time
and again at Japanese batteries
hidden on the river islands north of
Moulmein and Martaban, skimming
in to the attack at tree-top level and
encountering no Japanese aerial OPP
position.
After the bombers had turned
back, delayed action bombs still were
exploding on the islands, destroying
large areas.
Rangoon had two afraid alarms
during the day, but no enemy planes
were seen. Some bombs were said
to have been dropped on Toungoo,
midway between Rangoon and Man
dalay.
