If Tribe Has Unusual
Year, Week Says
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Jan. 20. - Bob
Feller started house hunting today
after signing a 1948 contract which
Cleveland Indians President Bill
Veeck maintained would continue
him as baseball's highest paid per-
former.
AS usual terms Of the agreepent
were not announced, but Veecksaid
the strikeout king could make as
much as last years $87 600, and
added that with phenomenal
year he can make couple of dol
lars more"
The Tribe president described a
phenomenal year" as a season that
would draw about 1,750,000 cash Gus
toners.
Feller's base pay is to remain
about the same" figure esti-
mated at $4,000, but his bonuses
are to begin at higher attendance
mark and, cover wider scale Of
total paid admissions.
Last year he more than doubled
his base pay with bonus money that
began at 750, 900 and ended at 1,250,-
900 paid admissions. The Indians
drew a total home paid attendance
Of 1921 1878 last year.
Feller Great Gate Magnet.
Veeck did not disclose at what
attendance figure Teller would begin
to draw a bonus, but was believed
to be 100000. The maximum figure
at which the ace hurler would rear
profits was estimated at 1,750,000,
The Tribe head man explained
that since Teller signed his contract
last year eve have Illustrated that
we can draw more people through
the turnstiles. Also our operating
expenses have gone up"
However, Veeck stoutly maintained
that Feller's total earnings would
exceed that of Ted Williams, the
Boston Red Sox slugger who was
reported to have signed for 100000
recently. Joe Di Maggie linked a
New York Yankee contract that was
said to call for $4,000.
even though Teller pitches on the
average Of every fourth day. Veeck
said, 1T believe he draws as many
people into the park as either Will
liams or Di Maggie and because he
draws that many people he should
be paid as we'll or better. It's hard
to break down the figures, but last
season he drew a tremendous num-
ber."
Will Top Ruth's Pay Mark
Assuming that the :29-year Old
fireballer exceeds an $4,000 salary
for the second year in a row, he will
have broken Babe Ruth's record
two-year agreement for $50 900 Per
annum with the New York Yankees
in 1930-3l. 4
Veeck also expressed the belief
that Feller's salary benefits all
players,
Actually, they all owe Teller a
vote Of thanks" he said. because
other salaries are based proportion
ately on his figure and as a result
have been increased"
Feller himself termed the contract
"as good as any" he signed in his
10 years with the Indians and when
asked If he were satisfied, he patted
his breast pocket and replied:
"Shucks, I signed it didn't II"
The hurler is looking for a fur
nished house of moderate size near
Cleveland to rent during the coming
baseball season. In the past, the
Fellers have stayed in hotel, but
he wants more room and particularly
a yard for his two sons, Steve, 2, and
Martin, 6 months old.

the Nevada football squad"
"The University of Tulsa will
abide by this contract. However,

of the traditional background of
inter collegiate athletics in the
state of Oklahoma, and the decis-
ion with regard to playing any
