Jacob Ruppert, owner of the New York Yankees, may or may not have known it, but he stubbed his toe over another holdout when he purchased Flrstbaseman Ellsworth (Babe) Dahlgren as a possible successor to holdout Lou Gehrig. Dahlgren, it was learned Thursday, returned two contracts to his former employers, the Boston Red Sox. His sale to the Yankees was announced Wednesday. The Red Sox had him farmed out to Syracuse In 1936 where he had a good year, including a .318 batting average. Admitting he had sent back two contracts to the Red Sox, Dahlgren said: "I had a swell season with Syracuse, but the Red Sox wanted me to sign up at the same salary terms as last year.

I think I deserve some recognition for good work." He declined to say what would happen if the Yankees' terms are unsatisfactory, but indicated he expected a boost over what the Red Sox offered. iu wnere iney woum Dlav for come back and Ackerman was Comparison NEW YORK, N.
