Paid at Mayer Sale
by the Associoted Press

INGLEWOOD, Calf, Jan. 25.-
With Honeys Sister bringing the
top price of $4,000, Movie-makeT
Louis B. Mayer is $685. 900 richer
today from the auction of 81 2-year-
olds in the fourth dispersal sale of

The full sister of the great mare
Honeymoon was purchased last

The bidding for Honeys Sister
was the longest of the night, with
Warner finally topping William G.

Fifty-tWo 2-year-olds were slated
to go on the block at Hollywood

because of an eye cataract. The

Conversion, full brother of the
California stakes winner, Solidar-
ity, drew the highest price for colts.
George w. Ring, Beverly Hills,
Calf, obtained him for $4,000.
Ring also bought Sybil, flly and
the first foal Of the stakes winning
Whirlabout, for $50,0OO-the second

Amputee Would HurI for 81 a Year

He was no sensation in those
days. Used principally as a re-
lever, he never won more than
three games, never lost more
than five. His last year was 1941.
1t was a year when Hal New
houser, now a star with the De-
troit Tigers, won nine games and
Shepard likes the parallel. I've
learned, too," he says.
Shepard, shot down while
straf1ng a train, didn't permit his
hopes to diminish in the dismal
surroundings of a German prison
camp. He became remarkably
agile, later, on an artificial leg.
His athletic ability was astound-
ing. his spirit unflinching, but
Shep never has been able to
convince d top baseball executive
that he could be a winning
pitcher.
He has coached for the Mats,
pitched sporadically for minor
league clubs and transformed
with major leaguers. Through
it all the 28-year-old left-hander
has retained the idea he could
win If presented a regular chance.
1t hasn't been beaten out of him
and until he gets that chance
he'll remain unimpressed by
chatter designed to sidetrack
him.
Bert's back at Walter Reed

willing to risk 81 a year?

Newcomers in Fight
To Escape School.
Series Basement

Bell and Chamberlain, newcomers
to District interhigh competition
this season, were to decide which
leaves the basket ball series cellar
in the opener of this afternoons
triple-header at the Armory. Al
though both are having difficulty
making their presence felt in the
series their game figured to be q
good one because it probably is the
only chance either has of winning
a series game this season.
In a pre-Christmas clash that
didn't count in the standings, Bell
took a 1890 victory over Chamber
lain.
Today's other series game paired
Wilson against Anacostia, and
Roosevelt against Coolidge.
Central became the first school to
beat both Chamberlain and Bell
when 1t romped to a 1921 triumph
over Chamberlain yesterday. The
Volts never were in contention as
the defending champions used every
player on the bench, with the ex-
ception of Ivan sinefferman, who is
nursing a sore wrist. Chamberlain

period production until the final
when it earned s. The Vikings were

Most of the scoring was done the

II points each.

North Carolina's Tar Heels were

Conference standings today after
they romped over Virginia Techs
Gobblers, 1859, at Chapel Hill, N. c.,

The Tar Heel triumph practically

Again, it was Coy Carson and
Hugo Happier who paced North

hind with 19.

It can't be done, they say. He's
heard it from the lips Of promi-
nent baseball men. He has seen
1t written-that an amputee
wouldn't have chance OF max
ing the grade in loftier baseball
circles-but Bert Shepard doesn't
believe it. He's willing to gamble,
on a salary of 81 year, that he
can click as a pitcher in triple-A

"All want is a chance to start

ard. whose right leg is missing
below the knee as the result OF
being shot down over Germany
nearly five years ago on his 34th

Group. I'D be willing to sign for
nothing, of course, just to get the
opportunity, but to make it legal
they'd have to give me dollar-a-
year contract.
Here's my proposition, con-
tinued Shepard. II want to
start every fifth day-none of
this business of holding me back
until Sunday to draw a crowd.
I don't want exploitation. want
q chance to prove can pitch
winning baseball.
"Okay, I sign for dollar year,
but for every game I win I want
$400. At the end of 10 decisions
I'll be satisfied-either I can
make the grade or I can't. BY
that time If the owner of the
team says I'm no good I won't
regret it. but I'm convinced I
can convince the skeptics I can
win. I want that chance.
"I1l be ready by mid March"
says Shepard, currently getting
about on aluminium crutches
while recuperating from another
of a series of amputations at
Walter Reed Hospital. Bert
submits to amputations with the
nonchalance that most men ease
into a BARRIERS chair for a shave,

Bowie. Winner in Fight
To Keep Traditional
Spring Race Dates.
By the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. 25.-The State
Racing Commission today settle0
the squabble among Maryland's four
major tracks for 1949 racing dates.
The commission decided in favor Of
Bowie when it granted its request
for meeting from March %
through April g. Havre De Grace
had asked for a meeting March 81
through April 28 which. if granted,
would have conflicted with Bowie's
traditional dates.
Bowie's fall meeting was moved
back few days so Havre De Grace
now can run a special four-day
meeting at Pimlico November 14-17
and compete with Garden State
Park on only two days of its spring
meeting in late April.
The dates announced today:
Bowie-March 28-April 9 and No
vember 19-December 3.
Havre de Grace-April l1-May 4
and November 14-l7 at Pimlico.
Pimlico-May 6-14 and October
25-N November u.
Laurel-September 24-October %.
The commission members retired
to make their decision after listen
ing to more than an hour Of debate.
They had under consideration three
proposals for splitting the 100 days
Of racing each spring and fall
among the four tracks.
The one adopted was presented at
the meeting by Harry A. Parr III,
president of the Maryland Jockey
Club. The Jockey Club operates
Pimlico and Laurel.
The main discord was between
Mai. Gen. Milton A. Reckord,
adjutant general of Maryland sand
president of Havre de Grace, and
John Farrell, president of Bowie.
The main problem was to arrange
dates for Havre de Grace which did
not conflict with Garden State Park
in nearby New Jersey.
I'VE cannot run against Garden
State and survive" Gen. Reckord
said.
Farrell pointed out that under one
schedule Havre de Grace would be
running against Garden State on
only three days and that was about
the minimum it could expect.
Garden State will open May 3.

Cleveland Pilot Gets
New 2-Year Pact on
|Straight-Pay'Basis
By the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Jan. 70. - Lou
Boudreau signed Cleveland Indian
contract today that placed him
among the. highest paid performers
in baseball
The handsome shortstop-manager
of the World Champion Indians
signed new two-year contract on
a straight pay basis-with no at
tendance bonuses involved.
In terms of cash it is hard to
determine what that will mean, but
President Bill Veeck, of the Indians
termed it one of the highest salaries
in the history of the game.
Estimates were that Boudreau
would make between $65,000 and
SIS, 900 a year.
That would put his pay not much
below Tribe Pitcher Bob Feller's re-
puted $82 900 and the $4,000 Babe
Ruth earned one season with the
New York Yankees.
No Bonuses Involved.
Boudreau has been working under
an old contract with one year to
run and it is estimated he earned
about $4,000 last season. However,
the old one was destroyed. and the
new one substituted.
This is a straight contract" said
Week. mo bonuses. 1t is by far
the largest straight salary ever
offered a player by the club. 1t
makes him one of the highest paid
players in baseball history"
Said Boudreau: I'm very well
satisfied"
At a press conference later, Veeck
refused to be pinned down on how
Boudreau's salary will compare with
Fellers. However, he already has
announced that Feller will have his
earnings cut this season.
Feller's contract last season was
on an attendance bonus basis and
Cleveland had whopping crowds all
year.
Tremendous Comeback.
For Boudreau, today's new con-
tract represented tremendous
comeback. Before last season start
ed Veeck was on the verge of get
ting rid of him.
The Indians boss made no secret
those days of his dissatisfaction with
Boudreau as a manager. Boudreau's
hitting and fielding, of course, have
been consistently beyond reproach.
There is no reopening clause in
Boudreaus new contract, Veeck said
this morning. Boudreau said the
omission of an attendance. bonus
was Weeks idea.
This represented the first Of a
critical series of salary talks for
Veeck. Tomorrow he plans to see
Feller. Gene Bearden, another star
pitcher, is expected to see him
while he is in town.
Bearden says he is not satisfied
with the offer he received.
