Wage Board Expected
10 Approve Flexible
Baseball Pay 5eiup
By Arthur Edison
Asseei1isd press Sports Writer

Baseball has won its argumen'
with the Salary Stabilizatior
Board and it may cost it som,
money.
John Kieran, former sports col,
|umnist and editor Of the Informa.
ton Please Almanac. has sided
with baseball In It's contention,
that:
l. The so-called bonus to /
|youngster to get him to sign hi.

decided, "is. ii effect. an outright
sale Of property" and not . salary
2, Baseball is . sport where ons
sees athe hazards Of competition
the fiuctuating fortunes Of teams
the varying skills Of players. tht
swift changes In the course D.
|pennant races" Because Of this
he said. the board should provide
'.fiexibility" in dealing with base.
ball finances.
Kieran's Recommendation.
Kieran's decision was made Ii
the form Of recommendations te
the board. He Is q member Of q
salary board panel on professional
sports. and listened to baseball's
arguments In special hearing In
New York on February s.
Kieran's suggestions were an
nounced yesterday by Fred e
Desmond, deputy executive di-
rector for the board. Desmond
said he Is certain the board will
adopt them.
They would be q modification
OF the original policy laid down
on January II. The board then
suggested two ways for q club te
figure its limit on 1852 payrolls:
|. It could take its 1851 payroll
and not exceed 1t.
2. II could take It's total salary
payroll for one year. 1916 through
1850. and use it. plus up to q 10
per cent increase.
Could Work Hardship.
Baseball lawyers argued thai
this might work q hardship on
clubs which had low payrolls In
the past but are now trying to
beat their way out of the depths
lThe St.. Louis Browns, under
new management. might be an ex-
ample.) 4
Kieran also said that any club
which sent out its contracts before
January II. and now finds it vio-
lates the salary policy, should be
given special consideration.
(The Brooklyn Dodgers re-
portediy are In this classification J
But even though baseball won
its argument, there's no reason to
suppose that 1t will be dingine
money around. Some clubs may
want to pay more money than the
formula allows; others undoubted-
~ will want to pay less.
For instance. Louis r. Carroll,
attorney for the National League,
told Kieran that in 1851. a year in
which payrolls were going up Ia
almost every industry, the National
League owners remained cool.
He said their increase over 1850
was only 2.6 per cent.
