Last Year's Baseball Players Slow in Signing New Contracts Officials and Plavers Disagree Over Salary President Fowden Offers Conditional Release To Several Manager Rodger^ U Negotiat ing with Several Rookie Players The ground may be covered with snow today and freezing weather will be felt for a while yet, but spring days aren't far away and Pete Fow den, local baseball club president, is preparing for those days. With the help of Manager Frank Rodgers he is rounding up a team to match any thing the other clubs will have to offer. But he is encountering much difficulty as time for signing on the dotted lines approaches. Hardly half of;last year's team i? expected back, and President Fow - den is having difficulty in signing that half. "They are holding out for more pay, and while there is some keen competition offered by the Army, steel mills and other defense work, we are not going to let the bars down and make the sky the limit,'* Mr. Fowden said in explain ing that he had studied the situa tion at length and had made fair offers to the players. Returned receipts have been re ceived for all contracts sent to play ers on the team last year, but sev eral of the players have not answer ed, Mr. Fowden stating that he had not heard a word from Red Swain "Several of the players are ask ing twice as much as they received last year or unreasonable increases." ! Mr. Fowden said. "In those cases we are advising the boys that they will be conditionally released, that 110 such pay is to be expected by play ers on Williamston's club this com ing season/' he said. An offer of a class pitcher for Les Rock has been received by the club officials, and the exchange is be ing considered. In a letter received by Mr. Fow den yesterday. Manager Rodgers stated that he had interviewed a To Eire for U. S. Major John W. Wofford, cavalry officer, will be the first military at tache ever sent to Eire. Washing ton officials declared the appoint ment was necessitated by the in creased duties of the attache in London, not by the expectation of war coming to Eire. number of prospects, but had def initely signed only one in the group. The manager and president are both working in lining up a team, and j they have several promising pros pects on the string, but final con tracts will hardly be drawn before early April in a number of cases. Manager Rodgers is to report in early April and a final round-up of;, players will follow about that time. Summing up the salary situation. President Kowden in a lotterto Man ager Rodgers yesterday said: "To j [ he perfectly frank with you.- we didn't have but about five players that I was especially anxious to see back this year, and so far. I have been unable to get them under con- ., tract as they are not only asking | more than they are worth but a ri- i | diculous price for Class I) ball play- < ers." 1 Jamesville Enters Team In Tournev Jamesville will be well represent ed by its all-star team in the Gold Medal basketball tournament open ing in Rocky Mount next Monday night, it was announced today by ' Shorty" Corey, the deluxe manager of the fast-stepping quint.
