TAMPA, Fla. Mar. 8.-The talk
got around to holdouts and War
rem Giles had a definition fol
them.
They are players who are
afraid to sign too soon," he said
They keep looking at the last
contract and thinking: I wonder
if this is as high as the club will
go or should I try again for
more"
Does a team operate on a budget
for player salaries? The Reds
president says no. Branch Hickey
the Dodger maestro. once observed
that players contract was based
on three suppositions (a) the
ability of the club to pay, (b) the
ability of the man to earn and
Co the comparison of that wage
with what was paid elsewhere in
the league.
"A sound business policy" said
Giles.
Derringer Got Big Cut.
A players salary may depend on
his showing the previous season,
but. according to Giles. few ever
get drastic cuts for bad baseball.
Il slashed Paul Derringer one
year from $4,000 to $11,000." he
said.
What brings on holdout?
Maybe the guys wife" suggested
Giles. Mrs. Smith, for instance.

Hotel Ban on Negroes
In Baltimore Shifts

By the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 8.-The sec.
ond annual National Catholic in.
tercollegiate basketball tourna.
ment will not be held in Balti-
more next week. But it will be
held and Albany, N. Y. is the mos
likely site.
George Koenig. of Denver, ad.
vance man for the tourney back
ers, said today he learned from
the hotel management making the
arrangements that Negro players
would not be billeted with the
white athletes.
I'VE decided then to move the
tournament out of Baltimore tc
save some embarrassment" Koenig
said.
Six teams had definitely entered
the meet, which was to have begun
next Wednesday and continue
through March 10.
They were Creighton of Omaha
Dayton; st. Francis of Loretta
Pa; Baltimore Loyola, st. Mi
chaels of Burlington, Vt; Iona Of
New Rochelle. N. Y, and Loras
Of Dubuque, Iowa.
st. Francis of Brooklyn was
considering entering but stipu.
lated that its Negro players must
receive accommodations similar tt
the other players.
Siena also sent word that if its
Negro player was not housed with
the rest of the team, it woulo
withdraw.
The hotel management which
discussed the arrangements with
Koenig was not available fol
comment.
Koenig said the tournament
manager, Tommy Thomas of Den
yer, was to arrive in Albany by
plane today to discuss staging the
tourney there. Thomas declined
to comment on the sudden shift
saying Koenig was the proper
source.
Koenig said unless something
unforeseen arises, Albany will be
the site. Actual dates, however
will have to be worked out, pos
sibly later today.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
Mar. 8.-Every day is ladies day
at the ball park for Aunt Ida
Shibe.
The widow of Tom Shibe, who
succeeded his father as head OF
the Philadelphia Athletics, has
missed only one spring training
trip in 40 years. She has rooted
for the AS as both pennant win
ners and tail-enders.
The 1850 edition bringing
Connie Mack to his golden jubi-
lee year as manager of the
Athletics has her pulling harder
than ever.
I'm pulling awfully hard for
the AS to win this year." she
said yesterday as she watched
the men at work on the field.
II want us to win the pennant
just for Connie Mack. OF
course, it would be nice for all
of us. But I'm thinking Of Mr..
Mack. He's such a wonderful
man. There's just nobody like
him. Every night. I pray the AS
win for him. That would be the
finest thing that ever happened
for him.
Mrs. Shibe never missed a
Shibe Park game until recent
years, not even during that seven
year stretch from 1915 through
1921 when the AS consistently
finished in the league cellar

There was one Red relief
pitcher of recent years who re-
fused contract for, $4,000
Finally Giles told him: Look
you pick out the three best relief
hurlers in the league, call up
President Ford Frick's Office and
ask him to average their salaries
and I'll give you that sum-
The guy didn't want any part
of the suggestion, but he signed
shortly thereafter.
Babe Ruth Most Underpaid.
Giles cited another instance
You have a player getting $10,-
000," he began. He does better
than you expect, so along about
August you put him to $4,000
The following year you send him
a pact for $4,000. He sends it
back. Why? Because of a lousy
81 900 raise. If you had kept him
at $4,000 and had sent him a new
contract for $4,000 at the end
of the season. he would have
signed happily"
Giles rates Babe Ruth as the
most underpaid man ever to play
baseball. even at that $85 900
salary. He puts Dizzy" Dean
close up and Joe Di Maggie in the
same bracket.
THE answer is obvious" he
pointed out. People came to see
them above everybody else"
