Poffenberger, who said recently he had returned such a contract, commented only that he had "changed his mind." He said he will sign the contract within a few days. By STEWART FITCH Every year along with the January thaw comes an outbreak of an old dis- ease that sends major league base- ball managers and owners into pre- mature old age and cuts years from their naturalife expectancy. The af- fliction, commonly known as holdout- itis, is with us again. Heading the holdout parade this year is Joe DiMaggio, sensational! Yankee outfielder and slugger. Hav- ing come from a long line of fisher- men, DiMag has cast his line into Colonel Jake Ruppert's private pond and is fishing for whales. He cer- tainly is not fishing for minnows un- less you conider $30,000 small fry. The Italian youth was offered 25 a holdout because of a salary cut but when-the Browme nianagement asked him which minor league club he'd rather play with, he changed his tune., "Boots" Poffenberger sometimes called "Poof" of the Detroit Tigers stamped his loot and said that the slight raise he was offered wasn't enough and that he wouldn't work very hard for anybody on "minor league pay.' No holdout story would be complete without Hank Leiber. Sure enough he is in this one. For the third straight year Hank has decided to withhold his services until the Giants come through with a better contract. Dizzy Dean is arguing with the Car- dinal management again this year but Dizzy has- become a wee small voice in the baseball world and no one even listens any more.
