sition at Salary of $4,000 a

.cepted the terms Of the club which is as
binding as IL he had signed q contract.

power Of hts official position under the

until Doom called him up on the phone
and closed the deal on the latter terms.
The $1,000 extra for each position il the
team finished better than Nth was added
as q compromise. 30 that II Doom IL sue
cessfu In landing the Phillies in fourth
