WNU Service Holdout Technique of Cards, Yankees Provides Contrast probably are other ways the business heads of baseballs two most efficient firms perform their dally chores. At this season, though, It is the manner In which they manipulate their hold outs that provides the most enlightening contrast. Branch Rickey of the Cards is a prime exponent of the "lets raise hell before we sign the papers" school. Even when not blessed with such a gifted debating opponent as Dizzy Dean he is a firm believer in the benefits to be obtained from airing salary squabbles in press, news reels and any other available . public forums. Ed Barrow of the Yankees long has been convinced that unbally-hooe-d negotiations provide the best results. Now and then as daring the later years of Ruth Cousin Ed yields to the temptation of a fine fanfare, of publicity during the weeks Immediately preceding the signing of a contract. But the blather surrounding such yielding only serves to convince him the more that regular methods are the best. Immediately thereafter be returns to the policy of offering a fair price. d But the fact that such notables as Rutb and Dean usually are pretty close to a meeting fy1 of minds with the management before all parties start yelling in the papers probably is the tea son why few bust ness manager take v the wintetfuror Several clubs are noto-riou-s for paying pit- Jful wages, but in Difiy Dean general, the average is high. So, because an Eddie Roush comes along very seldom, the magates are happily fortified. Roush never could have proved his point as easily as a Hubbell, who might give evidence that the added customers at one Sunday game are sufficient to pay his annual salary. But Eddie knew he was worth $100,000. Once he held out most of the summer before Cincinnati met his terms. At other times he may have remained away from spring training merely because the shifting sands of Texas and Florida did not agree with his aging dogs. But all the while he knew he was worth $100,000 and since the days of the lamented Chris von der Ahe no has been willing to sacrifice a sum merely to humor a stubborn whim. So Eddie got his way. y adApart from the vertisement and one or two other of similar nature this carryings-o- n winters show of holdouts seems considerably below the usual bally-lupar. Most of the boys although as one who likes to see greedy snd mismanaging owners clipped for "extra dough now and then I make this statement sadly seem to have as little heart in their demands as Hank Leiber did twelve months ago. Public prints reported the big outfielder as threatening to coach baseball at Arizona university rather than sign the contract offered by Hank is a valuable the Giants. young player and, even though the Giants terms seemed very decent, this is a world which favors a guy getting all he can. In the midst of his most violent protestations he made one mistake, though. He kept writing to friends in New York asking bow the Giants were reacting to his demands. This definitely revealed a chink In his armor.
