Record Pay Roll
Cut Heavily as
War Economy
Newsom, Paid Sd, 500
Lost Year, Believed
To Be Hardest Hit
By WATSON SPOELSTRA,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


DETROIT, Feb. 5.-The Detroit
Tigers traditionally prefer to solve
their salary troubles in deep silence,
but if they get by this years drastic
curtailment of their enormous pay
roll without blowoff they ought to
qualify for some sort of peace prize.
The Detroit management yester-
day slipped into the mails 1912 con-
Tracts for 80 players. How deeply
the club cut into the purses of the
fallen American League champions
was a closely guarded secret, but
a clue may be found eventually in
the volume of noise from Huntsville,
S. c., where the voluble Bobo New
som spends his winters.
Greenberg Topped 1941 List.
Well-informed sources say the
Tiger pay roll last year, following
the surprising pennant victory Of
1910, was the highest in baseball
history. Hank Greenberg topped
the list with a reported s55,00o sal
airy this pay stopped the day he
entered the Army, and Newsom was
next in line with reputed $37 500
figure.
IF other big league owners could
see the size of this pay roll" said
one front Office affiliate. they would
put on the biggest swooning act
imaginable"
Because he won few games and
lost much favor last year. Newsoms
impending pay cut was as plain
as the nose on Ernie Lombardi's
face. The Tigers are known to have
Clipped down other salaries, with
few exceptions, the latter probably
including big AL Benton, who be-
came the clubs best pitcher, and
Barney McCosky, top batter.
Tiger Holdouts Rare.
1--WE have to fit the cloth to the
pattern" General Manager Jack
teller said recently while engaged
in salary affairs. He pointed to
wartime economy, a 100000 de-
crease in home attendance last year
and a tie for fourth place in the
league standings.
The Tigers rarely have had what
could be called an authentic hold
out. Greenberg. who usually did
business directly with Owner Walter
o. Briggs, once carried negotiations
into the spring training season, but
vowed he never would do it again.
This year the avenue Of approach
to Briggs is blocked by his con-
centration on war industries to the
virtual exclusion of baseball.
The only signed player is Second
Baseman Jimmy Bloodworth, whose
contract was transferred from
Washington in the winter deal.
Manager Del Baker and Coaches
Mervyn Shea and Charley Gehrin-
ger are in the fold, however.
