DRASTIC SALARY CUTS MADE IN MAJORS
Throng of
Holdouts
Expected
Vance, Pennock, Hoyt, Gos
lin and Others Hit Hard
by Reductions.
BY DIXON STEWART
I'flllrd rrrn Staff < orrropnndFnt
NEW YORK. .Jan. 17.—Babe: Ruth
will have plenty of holdout coir.-
l>any when the malor league players
receive the 1930 contracts just
mailed out by club owners. When
I the athletes get a glimpse of the
new terms there will be a general
stampede to follow Ruth.
Reports from various big league
cities indicate players have been
asked to take salary cuts of from 5
to 25 per cent. Few raises have been
offered.
Vance Cut SIO.OOO
One of the biggest cuts a major
league player has been asked to take
is that made by the Brooklyn Rob
ins to Dazzy Vance, veteran pitch
er. Vance has been offered $15,000
and a one-year contract. This will
be a reduction of SIO,OOO from his
last year’s salary.
Ruth, although ofTered a salary
boost, will be the "high mogul ’ oi
the holdouts, but he is apt to have
moral support from other members
of the Yanks. Two Yankee pitchers.
Herb Pcnnoek, who drew $20,000 last
season, and Waite Hoyt, who was
paid $15,000, have been ofTered lower
salaries.
At Washington Clark Griffith is
said to be dissatisfied with the work
of outfielder Goslin and infielder
Mver, and both players will be
asked to accept, lower salaries.
Champs Ask More
Pennant winning clubs usually
receive the most demands for sal
ary increase, and it is likely the |
Athletics and Cubs will experience ,
difficulty In signing up some of
their stars.
Mickey Cochrane, Lefty Grove
and A1 Simmons of the Athletics, i
are reported to consider their
services worth sls,v JO each next j
season, while Mule Haas, Rube ]
Walberg and George Farnshaw will ■
insist on SIO,OOO salaries.
Babe Herman of Brooklyn. Bill
Terry of the Giants, and Lefty
O’Doul and Chuck Klein ol the
Phillies, all of whom had excep
tional success during the 1929 cam
paign, have gone on record as de
siring $25,000.
TRAFTON WINS SECOND

and Bailey got seven. Wechsler and
Hammell led the losers with four
each.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
OFF THE BACKBOARD
BY VERN BOXELL
ONCE upon a time, major bas
ketball teams in Indiana
scheduled Tech of Indianapolis for
practice games. Then some oo civ
decided something should be done
about this, with the eventful result
that Tim Campbell came up from
Shelby vi 11 e to
teach the Arsenal
boys the bow's
and why’s of bas
ketball. Tech im
mediately did an
about face, and
climbed to a top
perch, going so
far as to play m
the titular gams
of the state
tournament last
spring. Emmett
Lowery, one of
Campbell’s prod
ucts, was accord
ed the double
Lowery
honor of being a unanimous choice
for all-state floor guard and re
ceiving the Gimbel medal.
tt n
This year, Tech started slowly, and
while most of the quintets have played
haif of their names, the locals have
engaged in four, a like number being
cancelled due to the close of schools.
This week, the Tech team will face a
pair of the best teams in the state,
Martinsville there tonight, and Frank
fort here Saturday. If their two weeks’
layoff hasn’t hurt them, they should trip
the Artesians tonight, but the clash
with Frankfort will be a battle royal.
tt tt tt
Three of Tech's postponed games have
been rescheduled. Rushville will be me.
hero Jan. 28; Richmond wilt play here
Feb. 18, and Tech will journey to New
castle Feb. 5.
n n tt
BUTLER'S high position among
state and national basketball
teams will be at stake tonight when
they take on the high-powered Dan
ville tossers, who already hold one
40 to 16 verdict over the Bulldogs.
We'll take Butler.
tt tt a
Gloom spread over the camp of the De
Pauw Tigers today. After upsetting Indi
ana and Xliinois, two of the undefeated
Western Conference auintets. the Old Gold
five was upset by Wabash. Os all teams,
De Pauw likes least to be beaten by Wa
bash, especially by a 33-to-19 score.

Incidentally, Backboard was
twenty-four hours ahead of the
state with the story of the state
tournament ticket sale plan. Read
today’s basketball news in yester
day’s Times.
