Glenn Cunningham and Sydney

if they we're to run a series of so,

The blond Belgian delivered his
opinion in French. This imposed a
considerable strain on your CORE
spondent's vocabulary, but with the
aid of gestures, the interview rolled
along with a f1uency little short of

Cunningham" explained Mos
teri, "is the more strong. He is all

to indicate Cunningham's strength
and manliness. "Wooderson, when

today about the Brooklyn Dodgers
ridiculous" salary offers-but the
pitcher had a word of praise for
Manager Leo Durocher.
They didn't raise me s11 900 at a
clip and they aren't gonna cut me
that much in one year" said the big
right-hander whose fireball cooled
off so much last season he won only
four games.
That much of a cut is ridiculous
and someone is guessing wrong if
they expect me to sign IS 1000 con-
tract. And what's more, I won't take
any more of those bonus contracts,
either.
Get one of those things and what
happens? They won't let you work
to get your bonus.
Girds for Finish Fight.
Brooklyn will have to lay it on
the line or they can find me at my
home in Pageland. S. c.. all summer.
I'll just keep sending those contracts
back until someone comes across"
Mungo and the Dodgers had the
first round of their annual salary
fight before he came here from
Pageland to become an instructor in
Joe Strips Baseball School.
Brooklyn sent him a contract for
S. 900 and tf = hot-tempered pitcher
fired it right back. A second con-
tract, which he put in the mail un-
signed last night. was believed to
have added an offer of a bonus if
Mungo wins a specified number of
games.
There was a lot of cheer for the
Dodger faithful in Mungos assertion
that his ailing pitching arm, blamed
for his disappointing performance
last year, is feeling young and
healthy"
Only Praise for Durocher.
But let me tell you one thing.

when the season opens. I'm pulling
all the way for Leo Durocher. He'll
make a great manager because he
never was guy to pass the buck.
eff Lippy's wrong he'll admit it
where lot of other guys will call
you a dirty so-and-so for something
that's their fault.
Yeah, and let me tell you some
thing else. I mean what I said about
Durocher. I amt trying to soft soap
ANYBODY into giving me raise.
