DODGERS TERMS

MacPhai| Signs Hur|er. but

n YEW YORK. Jan eff you

" he'd probably tell you Larry
a MacPhail is the guy who has
the binding speed
MacPhail. appointed 10 days ago as
executive vice president Of the Brook
lyn Dodgers. started off on a trip
through the Middle West with Man
ager Burleigh Grimes. And about the
time every one thought he must be
getting his second wind in discussing
deal for Mungo with the ST. Louis
Cardinals, he bobbed up in Brooklyn
again yesterday with the news that he
had Mungo's signed contract with him.
Now Van, as you have heard. has
been very difficult person to sign up.
He lost a large part of last years pay
because Of fines and suspension with
out salary. and since then has had
quite q bit to say indicating he still
was peeved with the Dodgers That,
however, proved no barrier to Mac
Phail.
MunSo Likes Terms.
IVAN is perfectly satisfied with the
terms and is ready to give the
Dodgers the best season of his career
he announced. And what is more,
I'm confident he will do all of that"
The meteorc MacPhail further ex-
planned he had arranged to meet
Mungo. who had been in Florida. at
Columbia, S. c. There they talked
over all of Vans troubles and agreed
upon a fresh start. He didn't reveal
the terms Of the contract, but base
ball men believed it must about equal
last years $4,000 salary.
Although he had discussed possible
trades involving Mungo during his
visits to Chicago and st. Louis, Mac
Phail said nothing was on the fire.
If what I've been offered for Mungo
to date is absolutely tops with those
other fellows. you can rest assured the
big boy will stay right in Brooklyn" he
said. adding the clubs offered nothing
better than "a lot of horses who'll just
drop on the pavement
MacPhail to See Hassett.
FROM St. Louis, however, came the
word that the Cardinals presi-
dent. Sam Breadon. intended to make
every effort to obtain Mungo." So
there may be further dickering.
MacPhail also cleared up another
minor Dodger mystery-why First
Baseman Buddy Hassett hadn't re-
ceived q contract. All the documents
had not been mailed when he took
over. he explained, so he said not to
send them and he would deal with
those two players in person. He ex-
poets to see Hassett in a day or two.
