BALTIMORE, Dec. Major
league clubs with stable invest
ments in young and, in many
cases, untested bonus players have
had their dubious assets frozen for
at least, another year.
The minor leagues annual con-
vention voted yesterday to retain
the bonus rule, affecting So bonus
players on major league rosters
representing a total outlay Of some
$500, 900. There also are 185
bonus-tagged minor league play
ers. increasing the total expend-
iture above the 81 .000. 900 mark.
. Bob Carpenter. president OF the
Philadelphia Phillies. led the un-
successful fight for repeal Of base
balls most controversial law. He
owns more bonus players than
any other club and became stuck
with them when, needing a three
fourths vote for repeal, the minors
balloted 1926 to shelve The rule.
Club Owners Well Divided.
The action means that the ma
jors probably will make no real
move in their joint meeting at
New York next week except mere
ly to discuss the situation. No
vote is anticipated, although a
canvass of major league club own
ers show them evenly divided.
Among the higher-priced play
ers frozen" in the big leagues
are Catcher Frank House of De-
troit ($72,000). Pitcher Johnny
Antonelli of the Boston Braves
($65, ,000), Pitcher Curt Simmons

Mats Release FerreH ;
Chriistman Doubtful
About 1850 Return
By Burton Hawkins

Mark Christman's 1850 status
with the Mats is undetermined by
President Clark Griffith and un-
inviting to Christman. 1T looks
as If I'd better be searching for
another job." Washington's third
base coach and utility infielder
said today when contacted by
phone at his home in Webster
Groves, Mo.
Christman has received no word
from Washington officials con-
corning his status, and takes a
dim view Of being retained. Right
now I'm selling insurance" Mark
said. land I guess I'd better start
selling lot more. 1t doesn't look
good for me-"
Named third-base coach last
season when Sam Dente inherited
the regular shortstop job. Christ
man was a prominent figure in
the Mats early season nine-game
winning streak. Although he had
smashed only three home runs In
three previous seasons, Mark
slammed three in three games and
pulled two successive games out
of the fire for Washington to
launch the string in Chicago.
The 35-year-old inflelder. who
starred for the st. Louis Browns
when they won the pennant in
1914. broke into the majors with
Detroit in 1888. shifted to the
Browns the following year and
was purchased by the Mats just
before the season opened in 1947.
Rick Ferrell, released by the
Mats yesterday to accept another
offer, may hook on with the De-
troit Tigers. He was In lengthy
huddle with Manager Red Rolfe
of Detroit Wednesday at Balti-
more. The Tigers have no bull
pen catcher and have promising
young receivers in Frank House
and Myron Ginsberg. who might
benefit by Ferrell's catching ex-
perience.
Ferrell, who with Coach Joe
Fitzgerald handled the Mats bull
pen chores, forced the issue with
Griffith At Baltimore by asking
about his future. He was told that
| if he had any other offers he
could accept one. ....
The veteran receiver, with the
Mats for q second term since 1914,
may be replaced by fiery George
Myatt, former Washington liz
fielder who has managed Mats
farm clubs at Chattanooga and
Orlando. I'VE need a holler guy
and Myatt is the type" declared
Manager Bucky Harris.
Griffith settled the status Of
Clyde Milan. first base coach, by
announcing the retention of the
former Washington outflelder.
