MUSIAL AWAITS
BREADON ANSWER
First Baseman Sits Tight AT
St.. Louis Train
ing Base.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Feb.
21.-P)-Stan Musial, a likable
young family man with a growing
interest in high finance, is sitting
tight in the St. Louis Cardinals
training base, waiting for owner
Sam Breadon to loosen the rubber
band on his bullying billfold.
Although reports say Stan is
asking anywhere from $28, 900 to
$40, 900, a good guess would be
$50, 600. Breadon's best offer is
believed to be at least $4,000 shy.
Because the Cards home at.
tendance passed the million mark
and team won both the pennant
and a seven-game world series,
Musial at 26 thinks it is now or
never for him in the higher salary
brackets.
when Mr.. Breadon made me
his Offer" Musial relates, II call
ed all those things to his attention.
I asked him if this was the best
salary I eve could hope for in St.
Louis because if it was I definitely
was not satisfied. So far he hasn't
told me the answer. Pm not a
holdout officially until March 1,
but when a. man isn't satisfied I
guess you'd call him a holdout."
Nobody expects Musial's pay
fight to reach the point where he
won't be in the opening day lineup.
He is not yet financially indepen-
dent and the Red Birds need first
baseman Musial if they hope tc
repeat as National league pennant
winners and world champions. The
club isn't due to report until March
1 and he won't get together with
Breadon before Sam visits st.
Petersburg around March 10.
There always remains the posi-
bility that the st. Louis owner
might decide to unload his star
player whose current market value
is conservatively placed at $780,
900. At least two National league
SidOo VOolo 1uSu IOl Wdlo Will
check book in hand if they we're
informed Musial could be had.
Normally a self-effacing charact-
er who asks nothing more than a
bat to swing and a pitcher to
swing at, Musical has become
most practical in the vicinity of
dollar bills.
He thinks he should be the high
est paid player in the National
league and there are few who
would dispute him, because he
won the batting championship in
1916 with a 1865 average and led
in most everything except homers
and runs batted in.
AFTER ALL" he says, "a fellow
has to watch out for himself when
he gets along in years"
