Babe Wants $75,000 Salary and
$500 for Each Homer He Whangs
New York, Feb. 14. Among the
long list of holdouts on the Yankee
roster Hahe Kuth is the greatest as
he naturally would be, and there no
longer is any doubt that the Bambino
is a full-fledged member of the hold
out colony. With his start for the
preliminary training camp at Hot
Springs only three days away, there
is a difference of $35,00 separating
Rabc and his cluh owners, Cols.
Ruppert and Huston.
liabc has not taken one step hack
ward from his demand of $75,000
flat and $500 extra for each home
run, with no deduction for the 38
playing days he will miss because of
his suspension. The Yankee col
onels, knowing they will have to
raise their bid, stand pat at $40,000
and $500 per home run. And in the
Yankee office there is an undercur
rent of feeling, not openly expressed
but plainly apparent, that the Babe
should be made to pay for the days
of his enforced idleness.
Cols. Ruppert and Huston no
doubt will soon raise their figure to
$00,000 and $500 for every circuit
wallob, and probably will overlook
the days they will miss Babe's serv
ices through Judge Landis' order.
But they drop broad hints that Babe
will have to sing a sweet song to get
more than that.

Fewer Holdouts
in Big Leagues
Chicago, Feb. 14. The "holdout"
business among baseball players ap
pears to have taken an unprecedent
ed turnlhis winter. In former years
almost every club had its share of
players who were dissatisfied with
the contracts submitted to them and
immediately returned same with" a
public announcement of the fact.
This year the number of public an
nouncements has been greatly cur
tailed. Recently a manager of one of the
American league clubs in the east
having difficulty in signing his ath
letes told the players to take the
matter of salary up with Judge K.
M. Landis, commissioner of baseball.
One player wa said to have done
this and the judge informed him im
mediately that the question of salary
was a matter to be settled between
,the player and the club.
It is believed that club owners this
season have cautioned the players to
remain quiet on the subject of con
tracts until they have taken the -latter
up with their club officials.

H slid off Twinklehcelf back, and
Struck the Cound vith t dull thud
time to grab at Twinklihecls' mane.
He slid otf Twinklehecls' back and
struck the ground with a dull thud.
For a few moments he lay there,
unable to breathe. Then he strug
gled to his feet and ran round and
round in a circle, doubled up and
groaning. There was a strange,
strange feeling in the pit of his stom
ach. He feared he would never be
able to get his bi-ath again.
Twinklehecls naid no heed to him
but nibbled at choice clumps of
grass and clover quite as if nothing
had happened.
Old dog Spot, however, seemed to
think that Johnnie Oreen was having
a good time and enjoying himself
thoroughly. Spot capered about him,
barking furiously.
"Don't!" Tohnnie managed to gasp
"Don't laugh. Spot! I'm terribly
hurt. I don't believe I'll ever get
well again. '
But in a few moments he suc-
seeded in drawing a long, deep
breath. He lay down upon the
ground then, and drew another and
another and another. Already he be
gan to feel better. And soon he stood
up gingerly and felt of himself all
over. To his great surprise, nothing
seemed to be broken except his sus
penders. Old Spot came up and put his
paws against Johnnie and barked.
"Let's have a good rompl" he
begged. Or at least that wa what
Johnnie understood him to say.
"No, Spot!" Johnnie answered.
"Not now-! I don't feel like run
ning. You wouldn't, either, if you
had just had the breath knocked out
of you."
Then Johnnie went soberly about
the business of driving the cows
home. At last he got them all started
down the lane, put up the bars, and
followed them.
As he reached the barn Johnnie
looked up curiously at the pictures
of circus riders in pink tights gayly
disporting themselws on the backs
of dappled gray horses.
"Humph!" he muttered. "I don t
believe that's half the fun I always
thought it was." .
