NEW YORK tl) The cham-i
pion New York Yankees finally
ended tneir noldout . worries by
signing the last four of their hes
itant athletes Monday but 20 hold
outs, topped by Pittsburgh s Ralph
Kiner, remained to plague major
league baseball clubs.
The Yankees, slow to get their
high - priced talent in the .fold.
signed shortstop Phil Rizzuto for
$40,000, outfielder Gene Woodling
for $24,000, pinch-hitter Johnny
Mize for $15,000 and second base
man Billy Martin for $12,000. r
Meanwhile, a rollcall of ' the
training camps by the Associated
Press showed 11 players in the
National League and nine in the
American still unsigned. March 1
is regarded as the deadline lor
signings. i
While some aren't ' considered
serious, the list of recalcitrants
includes some of the game's bright
est names. The Cleveland Indians
have three standouts in the "gim
me more" category pitcher Ear
ly Wynn, a 23-game winner; cen
terfi elder Larry Dob and second
baseman Bob Avila, j
. Alvin Dark, -shortstop and field
general, is asking $40,000 from
the New York Giants, who . want
to get him for $7,000 less.
There are eight teams with no
contract worries whatever NeVr
York, Washington. Boston, St. Lou
is - and Chicago in the American
League and Brooklyn, Cincinnati
and Chicago in the National. The
Boston Red Sox cleaned their
board by signing pitcher Maurice
McDermott Monday.
The Boston Braves' holdouts are
pitchers Don Liddle and Vern
and Bill Klaus and outfielder Luis
Marquez. The reserve catcher of
the St, Louis Cardinals, Bill Sax-
ni, is holding out for $7,500. "

Final Round
In City Loop
The City League basketball race
is slated to cross the finish line
tonight with three final games at
Leslie Junior High. As the teams
head into the final games the Mar
ion Motors quint has a full game
lead over the second place YMCA
outfit. ...
Here's how they line up tonight,
with won-lost records for each
team in parenthesis:
. 7 p. m. Warner Motors (7-10)
vs. Salem Auto Parts (7-10). 8
p. m. Wolgamott Service (12-5)
vs. Marion Motors (15-2). 9 p. m.
YMCA (14-3) vs. Battery D (3
14). . The Salem Jayyees have
completed play with , a 1-18 rec
ord. -l ' : - .
Thus in tonight's round if the
Wolgamott Servicemen can upset
the . Marion Motors while the
YMCA beats Battery D, those two
teams will end in a tie for the ti
tle.- A victory for Marion Motors
will clinch the works for that out
fit, however,' regardless of what
YMCA does in its same.
There is the possibility that the
Wolgamott team may not play to
night inasmuch as It has been oc
cupied in state AAU section at
Medford. In this event, its game
will be forfeited to Marlon Motors.
