Varnell, writing cently in the Seatile Times, much to say anent young Bob Fel- ler and bis salary der , as fol- 1o Waite night, winni B ine, you please, a rookie K'ny twenty grand from a big league club for his first full season of play under the big tent. Yet that, accordiny to the eastern reports, is what young Bob Feller, the schoolboy pitcher who was awarded to Cleveland by Kenesaw Mountain Landis, wants from the Indians. ’ Such a demand, if it is official, is absolutely unheard of in the past of baseball. Why, Lefty Go- mez, with a contract for $22,500, was the highest paid pitcher in the big league hall in 1936. And for a rookie to ask $20,000, well, that's enough to make the Cleveland bosses have a nightmare. Feller, you remember, is the 18- year-old boy who joined the In- dians late in the '36 season and won five games, while he was losing three. He had an average of 3.34 runs per nine-inning game in ef- fectiveness and was second only to Lefty Grove in that bracket. A contest over title to the lad’s services followed during the winter and after awarding Les Moines a nice slice of cash, Judge Landis g the kid to Cleveland. Now Cleveland must engineer the business of getting his name on a contract and reports are that young Feller is being well advised. So well advised that he has asked $20,000 for one year of service. It is highly probable that the $20,000 reported as Feller's price is exaggerated and considerably, but it is equally prob- able that when the young star does sign, he will have a contract calling for more money than any rookie pitcher has ever been given/in his THE LASH RECE = RATED y HE MADE - ST HE OLYMPIC TEAM BUT 2ID NOT GET A CHANCE 7] TO RUN IN BERLIN ez Sport team, a squad numbering many of the athletes developed by Hijert- berg in the United States.
