THE GIAKTS TO Par mMoRan HAS TO ORANGE A NEW TEAM PRACTIOLLY FoR When Many Holdouts Quickly Come to Terms General Grumbling Heard From Big League Players Who Were Forced to Ac- cept Big Salary Cuts This Season. By Hugh 8S. Fullerton. INE-TENTHS of the holdouts N have, as. usual, returned to the fold of the major leagues. Only @ tew of the tm- portant players are holding out to the last, and a few may stick to their an- nouncement, but of thirty-nine who announced that they would not sign unless granted conces- sions; more than thirty are with thelr teams. The “strike” Is broken. ‘The players were, in this caie, forced \ to surrender, and they are paying the penalty for the successes of other years, The finan- clal part of the difficulties be- tween owners and players is of small intereut to the fans, but the question is whether or not the sharp reductions of salary to which the players have been compelled to submit will affect their playing. Beyond doubt, there is a tremendous amount of dissatisfaction among the players, and this year they are re- ceiving scant consideration from the tans, ‘Oddly erough, this spring, per- haps the first timo ‘that the players have deserved any sympathy in their demands upon owners, they get none.

The attitude of them as | the owners is a contradictory one, They have re- duced salaries in the majority of in- stances, and some of the cuts have been so heavy that it is hard to see how the players stood them, Men who. on their work last season de- served increases, have received cuts, Besides these straight cuts, a large number of players get the same amount per month, but fewer months' pay in the season, The contradictory part of it ts that the owners, or many of them, are making reductions and telling jplayers that cuts are enforced by business conditions, and at the same |time loudly that this season wil] be the most prosperous in the history of baseball. They are kidding some one, and I do not think It ds the From al}! that | can gather \from all directions, conditions in \paseball during the coming season will necessitate sharp reductions in ‘We Olympinn A.

If attendance in genera) is within 20 per cent. of the normal of five years ago I will be surprised, although I expect in- terost to increase steadily during tne season unless economic or political conditions again interfere, The reasons are double: Figst, a |large class of the baseball-going pub- jie Is vitally interested just now in other things and has little timo for | baseball, Second, the extreme cost af living and the growing scarcity of jobs ig keeping a lot of us hustli.g to keep both ends in contact, You can put it down that the great return of prosperity 1s based more on hope than upon facts. ¥ the way out of employment, might find a Job with thé major leagues. Many of them appear to have adopted a policy of suppressing news and in- formation and some have clamped on @ censorship. It willbe remembered the newspapers were more dependent upon baseball than baseball is on the newspapers. It may be that others are converted to this theory. Speaking of Murphy, the old chub- |by boy is in again. He picked up @ few shares of stock in his old team, j the Cubs, not long ago, and at once Set out to start something. First he declared that the new North Side plant was no good and never would be and that the team ought to move back to the West Side, Murphy was right, but the statement did not please many folks. As soon as the echoes died down, Murphy filed suit, demanding permission as a stockhold- er to examine the books of the club. He will find several things in those books that will not please him, but he wants to see them. , Some folks have a happy faculty of starting something whenever they turn around, LOT of the writers, “Down Fast" cspecially, are getting excited because they say there are so few stars in the major leagues, They have mado up a list composed of fourteen “stars"—includ- ing Hank Gowdy, who is a star be- cause of his war record rather than his playing ability, ‘They have Cobb, Speaker, Johnson, Sister, Ruth, Col- lings and Baker, Alexander, Vaughn, | Kauff, Chase, Maranville and Groh, Speaking from advertised value perhaps the list is nearly correct, but Ruth, Baker and Kauff could be omitted easily, Baker showed a come-back last year and was almost up to his old-time form. Ruth came suddenly and got a lot of advertising because of his long hitting after being |a great pitcher for years, Kauft i ja good ballplaye: but never in the “star” class in the senae that Cobb, Speaker and some others have been lincluded, also" include —_ Killefer, Schalk, Griffith, Burns (both of the ants’ and Athletics), Hollacher, Hooper, Bancroft, Felsch, Chapman and perhaps sume others. The fact is that the list of real “stars” in the two leagues does not exceed ‘en men |—those who stand out far above their fellows in ability. If they start to take in players of the next highest grade they can run the list close to | fifty without much trouble. | The good old Texas League, which for many Years has been one of the t producing grounds and training rrounds of ballplayers, has taken a ecision which may make it, instead of a nursery for faat young major leagues, a sort of asylum for the has \beens. The league has decided to ipermit the spithall, and already a |lot of the bantehed spitball artists are seeking Texas jobs and finding them. ‘The wonder to me is how, with that eHmate in the summer, and the State gone dry, those fellows can ex- a | with a score of 170 to 18 for Breite en George Creel, being | that C, Webb Murphy once said that | | "The list should, if these fellows are | By Thornton Fisher no!
