MAJOR OWNERS PLAN TO CHECK HOLD-OUT GAME 1 - ■ , Yankees Ready to Take Lead in Move to Head Off Salary Demands. RUTH ASKS A FORTUNE NEW YORK, Feb. 13.—Strong methods In dealing with ‘-hold-outs” .are being planned bv the major league magnates. With practically all of their star players holding out the Yankees are up aganist it, but the club owners say they are going to make it an issue once and for aIL . „ . Ruth wants $40,000 and pay while he Is “serving his sentence,” Wait Hoyt wants $15,000 and substantial increases have been asked by the other regulars. •‘We have the biggest pay roll in the game now and we are not going any higher,” Colonel Jacob Ruppert, president of the club says. “If necessary we will put a brand new young team on the field.” „ It may sound like empty talk from a championship club, but it looks like a real threat because the Yanks are after Jack Conklin, Harvard short stop; Frank McGuire, Holy Cross second baseman and other college stars. Hickey Haines and Glenn Killinger, Penn State stars, are already on contracts. Kelley, Meuse!, Rawlings, Bancroft, Smith and Douglas or the Giants Rave rot signed their contracts. Rogers Hornsby is holding out on the Cards and Eddie Roufch says he'll quit the game If the Reds refuse to meet his demands. Ruth has not taken .one step backward from his demand of SIO,OOO flat end SSOO extra for each fiome run, with no deduction for the thirty-eight playing days he will miss because of his suspension. And in the Yankee office there is an undercurrent of. feeling, nto only expressed, but plainly apparent, that the Babe should le made to pay for the days of his enforced idleness. Ruppert and -Huston, no doubt, will sdon raise their figure to the home run king, and probably will overlook the days they will miss Babe's services through Judge Landis’ order. Whether Babe will go to Hot Springs this week with the Yankee pitchers and catchers is not known at the club headquarters. That, In fact, is the one question that £ uppermost in the office in spite oft" harassing arguments that must be gone through wftb all the other holdouts. If Babe is landed, the rest won't matter much. Normal holdouts always fail into line, one way or another, no matter how long they baggie. Babe finds it hard er and harder each passing . season to throw off the accumulated fat of an easy winter. Manager Miller Huggins knows how important it Is for the Bambino to put in every training day he can and is urging the club executives on to heroic efforts to land the big slugger in Hot Springs as scheduled. “When Bate finally slips from his eenitb,” said Miller Huggins, “it will not be because of lack of strength or loss of eye, but because his unfortunate tendency to acquire superfluous flesh on his chest. Some spring, no one knows when. Babe will find this layer of fat scr heavy that training work will not bring it down, and his swing will be eo arrested that he no longer will be able to drive the ball out of the lot for his dozens of home runs. “May that day be a long, long time coming.”

The damage had been done, however, and although the Lovismen produced a great second-half rally, they could not overtake the overwhelming lead that Purdue had annexed. The Indiana offensive got under way right at the start of the last stanza and dropped in baskets from ail parts of the floor. The Purdue lead had been cut down to a 23 to 19 score before Lambert s men got together and stemlned the rush of the fighting Crimson. With fiix rr-{Hites left to play, Purdue successfully oped the rally and a free throw by i. erda was the'only score made the r nder of the game. Gu with four field goals and Eversmar. with three were the best offensive men for Purdue, while Captain Miller played a great game at back guard.

The game was close in the first half the rest period finding the score knotted at 15-all. Notre Dame took the lead at the start of the last half and-was never In despair the rest of the game.

IteiiSchool !:SpoSjs TECH AM) MANCAI. LOSE. Two defeats out ot as many games marked the efforts of Indianapolis high school fives Saturday. Anderson dropped Tech at the local “Y," 48 to 27, and Grencastle walloped Manual, 45 to 12, on the Greencastle floor. A bewildering offense proved Tech's undoing as the fast passing and accurate basket shooting of the Anderson boys was more than the Green and White defense could handle. Robinson with ulna field goals was the chief point-getter tor Anderson and Jackson played a good defensive game. Nipper played best for Tech. The game was close until the middle of the first half when Anderson spurted for 25 to 13 advantage at halftime. One good game over the week end was all that Manual could stand and after giving Bedford a great battle Friday, tho Red and White collapsed completely ugainst Greencastle. The south skiers counted but three points during the first half, which ended with Greencastle holding a 15-to 3 advantage. The second half developed into a rout, and the winners pulled from the local five in this session. Harraeson was best for Manual with three field and two foul goals while Foster was the chief poiutgetter for the winners, counting eleven times from the field.

‘SECOND BIG TEN’ SUGGESTED FOR WEST; NOTRE DAME AND WABASH PROBABLE MEMBERS
CHICAGO, Feb. IS.—Formation of a now western collegiate athletic conference, composed of the larger and more influential Institutions outside of the present Big Ten, appeared likely today. Agitation toward formation of anew conference w-hich has been heard for several years has approached a head since the recent airing of professionalism charged among college athletes of the Mid West. Organization of a conference. Its backers claim, would result In the drawing up of definite eligibility rules and would lift suspicion from all colleges were there might now be any thought of taint of professionalism.
