DAZZY VANCE
IS HOLD-OUT
HOMOSASSA, Fla., Jan. 16. (U.P.)—Arthur "Dazzy" Vance, speedball pitcher, told the United Press today he would return unsigned the 1932 salary contract offered him by the Brooklyn Robins.
"It looks like the depression is still on," Vance said when he received the document this morning. "There will have to be some dickering about the terms before I sign."
Vance refused to divulge the salary offered him, but said it was "about the same cut as was given Bill Terry."
Terry, heavy-hitting first baseman of the New York Giants, was asked to accept a salary reduction of 40 per cent. He declined the offer and asked that he be traded.
Vance, who was an in-and-outer in 1931, received $22,500 last year the highest salary received by a National league pitcher.
"I had expected a reduction," said Vance, "but nothing like this. Of course, I expect to go to Miami next Monday and probably will confer with Manager Max Carey if he is still there.
"I am sure we can come to some agreement. The club management can go up a lot easier than players can come down on contract terms."
