SAM WEST SETS FIGURE NEW YORK IV) Van Lingle Mungo. Brooklyn pitching star, to- day joined an increasing group of big league hold-out threats. The big righthander sent his 1936 contract bouncing back from Page- land. S. C.

with an ultimatum for more salary. I Already' listed as a rebel is the celebrated Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals.

Two others Leon Pettit.

of Washington and young Clydell Castleman of the Giants, both pitchers have admitted they are. at least, dissatisfied. "We gave Mimgo a nice raise," one Brooklyn official said, "but he seems to think he's entitled to more. We haven't marked him down as a holdout yet. but neither have we decided to make him another offer." Dizzy's Figure $20.00" Last year the Pagcland planter was paid S10.000 for winning 16 and losing 10 games for the fifth-place Brooklyns.

The Dodgers arc believed to have offered Mungo $11,000 this reason, Not a soul, himself included, knows exactly what Dizzy Dean He was paid better than $17,500 last year and probably will come to terms with Branch Rickey for around $20,000 for 1936. West has set his price and if the Browns do not meet it he'll keep right on pumping gas at his Texas filling station. No trouble is anticipated with either Pettit or Castleman. They say their demands are not exorbitant. They just want more dough.

The ex-Bearcat confined his playing to ball-carrying mainly during the 1935 season, starring especially in the Pennsylvania game.

"Eligibility's the main thing at this stage of the game." Kipke remarked Saturday. He is already contacting his boys to get a line on the grades they expect from the first semester's work and will arrange practice that will leave them all plenty of time for study. Kipke need have little fear concerning Ritchie's marks. He rates near the top scholastically among Michigan's athletes.
