Players Start Movement To Defeat At Ike
New York reports a movement among major league players not in sympathy with the strike aiming to appoint a three man advisory board of contracted players to work with the national commission and club owners. The move, likely to affect league circles, would sideline the players’ union and could lure young players away. Ty Cobb Eddie Collins and Larry Doyle are among rumored board candidates.

Oscar Vitt May Be A Real Holdout This Year
Detroit Michigan February 1 Oscar Vitt the snappy third baseman of the Detroit Americans may be a real holdout this season. Vitt is one of three players with salary differences with President Navin but the demands of the other two Veach and Coveleskie are modest by comparison. It is understood Vitt asked for a big increase and Navin refused. Navin says Vitt is the best fielding third baseman in the league but his batting is too poor to be an all around star. Vitt hit .226 last season.
