[from the St. Louis correspondent] The custom of holding out among the ball players has always been in vogue under a different title, but in the last two seasons it has grown wonderfully popular among the ball tossers. On every hand the ball player is on the “hold out,” whether he is worth 5 cents or $5,000 a season; whether he be a minor leaguer or a major leaguer. In 9 cases out of every 10 in which players hold out for accession to their demands the players sign for the same, or pretty near the same, salary they received the season prior.
