The only thing is, this time,
that Buck doesn't have a con:

is being pointedly ignored by
officials of the club. He works
out, puts on his clothes n d

writer's ask him for his views.
Only his team mates josh him a
bit. Buck is being given the "sil-

1t is tough stuff for the big
man who pitched the Tigers to a
pennant only two seasons ago,
with FL victories and 5 defeats,
and who proudly proclaimed
last year that he was making the
largest salary of any pitcher in
the game-S32, 500. The club has
offered him $12,50O this time,
representing perhaps the most
drastic reduction in baseball his

can get together.
