Hickey, Waits Until
18th Hour to Give

BROOKLYN, N. Y.-Shrewd,
sly Branch Hickey pulled another
slick one on his team by waiting
until the very last minute to-
send the boys their contracts.
Reasons Hickey, the longer you
keep them waiting, the less like
ly they are to press for a raise.
Besides, as the days roll into
February, ball player knows

So the 80 Dodgers are on ten-1-

a raise is a moot question. In
fact, since the Dodger football
team took a loss of over $685.
