DES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 25-
Whatever the amount Bob Feller
will draw in 1941 for doing his pitch
ing chores for the Cleveland In
dians, it won't be the Iowa farm
boy who'll disclose the figure, vari-
ously estimated from $30, 1000 to $45,-
900.
In fact, Bob said today he was
Surprised" to find himself in the
center of a discussion between the
Detroit Tigers and Cleveland
whether he or Buck Newsom is 60
ing to be the highest paid pitcher
this year.
IF the Cleveland club wants to
publicize my salary, it's agreeable
to me-" said Bob. But their policy
always has been not to divulge the
contract figures of any players"
Bob said, however. that he thought
the public is more interested in his
pitching than in his salary.
"As far as Buck NewSom's salary
is concerned I have nothing to say.
Whatever Buck makes he earns and
I'm for him getting whatever salary
he can Bucks a great pitcher"
