efficient firms perform their daily chores at this season though it is the III manner anner in in which they manipulate their heir hold outs cuts that provides the most enlightening contrast branch ri rickey ackey of the cards is a prime exponent of the lets raise hell bell before we sign the papers school even when not blessed with such a gifted debating opponent as dizzy dean he is a firm believer I 1 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 ahat booed bloed negotiations provide the best results now and then as during 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 fieldings yield ings only serves to convince him the more that regular methods are the best immediately thereafter he returns to the policy of offering a fair price but the fact that such high sala ried notables as ruth and dean usually are pretty close to a meeting of minds with the management before all parties start yelling in the papers probably is the reason why few business managers take the winter furor seriously riou sly several big time clubs are notorious for paying pitiful wages but in dizzy dean general the average is high so because an eddie roush comes along very seldom the magnates 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 be was worth 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 and since the days of the lamented chris von der ahe no club owner has been willing to sacrifice a sum merely to humor a stubborn whim so eddie got his way apart from the dean rickey advertisement verti and one or two other carryings on of similar nature this winters show of holdouts foldouts hol douts seems considerably below the usual ballyhoo par most of the boys although as one who likes to see greedy and mismanaging owners clipped for extra dough now and then I 1 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 the giants hank is a valuable 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 mide made one mistake though ile he kept writing to friends in new york asking how bow the giants were reacting to his dent deminds ands
