Bonus Is Eliminated
New Figure Actually
Suggested by HurIer
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associoted Press
CLEVELAND, Jan. 1S.-Pitcher
Bobby Feller. once the highest
paid player in baseball history,
came to terms with the Cleveland
Indians today for an estimated
$45, 900.
Hank Greenberg, the Tribes
new general manager, declined
to disclose the contracts actual
terms, but said it represented a
very drastic pay cut"
Feller himself grinned, as usual:
I'm very we'll satisfied"
The contract has no attendance
bonuses, which i7etted the flreball
hurler large sums in the past.
Feller last year received around
$4,000 in base pay and bonuses
estimated at about $4,000.
Greenberg said the new pay
figure actually had been suggested
by Feller himself. The cut was
described as the largest the pitcher
has ever taken.
The contract is Feller's first
without attendance bonuses since
1898.
In 1947. when he won 20 and
lost IL games, Feller was believed
to have received close to $85, 900.
He won 19 and lost is in 1948
and earned an estimated 100000
He started slowly last season
and won only IS games while
losing IA.
Greenberg said it was obvious
that the club could not continue
to keep his pay in the higher
brackets.
"If he returns to winning like
he used to we will be delighted
to put his pay back on top again, :"
he added.
