no statute under which the per-
petrators could be prosecuted.
The poor little Jockeys, under

charge that could be preferred
against the gamblers who bilked

Bradley Insists
Bob EeUey Is
Top Money Hurler

OCLEvELAND. Jan. 23-R--
Alva Bradley, president Of the
Cleveland Indians. maintains
that Bob Teller IL the highest
paid pitcher IN the history Of
baseball despite Detroit's claims
for Buck Newsom.
Methods Of Bookkeeping may
have something to do with Il.
Neither club would reveal ex-
act figures but here Is how they
stack up today:
Teller received q salary last
year generally believed to have
been $27, 900. His bonuses and
income from endorsements add.
ed something like $4,000 more.
Newsom was paid go, 900 last
year including bonuses, said
Walter o. Briggs, owner Of the
Tigers.
"And he has signed his 1e4l
contract" Briggs sdded, indicat-
ing Z raise In salary although
nothing was said On TIT score.
The most optimistic estimates
placed the Top possibility st
@3S. 900.
To this, Bradley retorted:
Bob Feller 10 still the highest
paid pitcher In baseball; he was
the hiEhest-paid last year toe"
To The assumption that New
sons 1871 contract must call
Tor more than go, 900, Bradley
snapped: 80 does Bob's. Teller

he's worked hard enough in
baseball and he'll take it easy

At the moment, the Babe
wasn't much interested In base

WORLDS GREAT FEATURES
WITH MIGHTY CIRCUS

The Big Show-Ringling Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey-will exhibit
in GAINESVILLE, Friday, June 9Th, and
here's a synopsis of it's 1941 fea-
lures:
Mr.. and Mrs. Gargantua the
Great, the worlds most publicized
and fascinating gorilla couple; the
new fairyland fantasy, "Old King
Cole and Mother Goose" designed
and costumed by Norman Bel Ged-
des, of New York Worlds Fair
Futurama fame, in which 1000
people and animals take part. Ged-
des has redesigned the circus from
front to back.
''Old King Cole and Mother
Goose" cost $4,000, and is the
grandest of all Big Show pageants;
hence it is spotted on the program
to follow Alfred Courts three great
mixed groups of performing wild
animals, so that late comers won't
miss it.
The new Birdland aerial ballet,
starring lovely ELY Ardelty, costum-
ed by Max Weldy of Paris and stag
ed by Albertina Rasch, famed Hol-
lywood and Broadway musical show
dance director; an invasion of acts
from South America, headed by the
hree flying Diego-Fernandez
