Expects No Difficulty
On Salary Agreement,
Comedies Poor Year
BY the Associated Press

VAN METER, Iowa, Dec. 28-Bob
Teller said today there probably
will be some different arrangements
in his 1949 contract with the Cleve-
land Indians.
He conceded he may be in line for
a cut in pay.
The Indians pitcher said he
planned to discuss the terms with
Bill Veeck club president, at Cleve-
land next month.
Feller didn't seem too concerned
with earlier statements by Veeck
that the former farm boy would take
a salary cut next year.
Bob was the highest-paid hlr,er
in baseball last season with a con-
tract of around $4,000.
Calls Statement Gag.
Commenting on Weeks statement
in Oklahoma City that I'D like to
make as much myself next year as
Feller's cut in pay will be-" Feller
said:
That's one of Bills standard BAN
quet gags and always gets a good
laugh"
Teller remarked that it was no Sc
cret his 1913 season wasn't as good
as his 1947 pitching record and add
ed:
obviously. may be in line for a
cut but at the same time the club
had great year and any changes
in my contract shouldn't put me out
of business. I think my contract ar
rangement, which is keyed to a slid
ing scale based partly on attend
ance, is as fair an arrangement as
there could be. If have a better
year in 1919. for example, III expect
an upward readjustment for $780,
Gets Along Wot Week.
Feller said he got along with
Veeck and he didn't think they
would have any difficulty in reach
ing an agreement when they confer
in Cleveland next month.
According to the Cleveland News,
Veeck. now in California on a BAN
quest tour, said:
Il plan to offer Bob a contract
under which his attendance bonuses
will start at a higher figure, so
naturally, If we draw the same num-
Der of people we drew last season,
he'll collect less money.
But I guess he'll still be able to
get by"
