Hia|eah Opens Today

Tropical's handle Of $29, ,754, ,s37

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Although
there are few well-defined hold
outs as Of today in the major
leagues, advance indications
especially on the three New York
clubs-point to trouble ahead.
An Associated Press survey of
the 16 big league baseball teams
indicated the Yankees, Giants and
Dodgers probably face some fairly
serious holdout battles before
spring training gets underway
next month.
The champion Yankees thus far
have announced the signing only
Of Ritcher Ed Lopat and their 39-
year-old utility first baseman.
Johnny Mize.
The Giants. who went down
battling in the World Series, also
have only two regulars officially
within the fold. Outf1elders Monte
Irwin and Don Mueller.
Brooklyn, which refused to give
up until Bobby Thomson hit that
home run in the final inning Of
the National League playoff, has
signed seven players. But Of its
regulars. only Second Baseman
Jackie Robinson. its highest sal
aried man; Catcher Roy Campa-
nella and Outflelder Carl Furillo
have signed.
Dodgers Trying to Cut Pay.
Rumor has it the Dodgers are
asking several regulars, including
Andy Pafko, to take pay cuts and
that the dispute might run far
into February.
Ralph Branca, who pitched the
home run to Thomson, has re.
jected an offer calling for the
same salary he earned last year

This remarkable statement over long
distance telephone by the shy, mild-mannered
North Carolinian also may have significant
overtones. It may be rejecting the respect
and confidence held by American League
players for the front-ofice ability of Bill
Veeck
Coan even mentioned veeck in his con-
versation from Brevard, N. c. "I've got
couple of reasons for liking st. Louis" he
said. II always hit pretty good there and I
don't think it will be long before Mr.. veeck
builds up that club. II he did it at Cleveland.

Wage Policy Altered
For Players Caught
Under Old Ceiling
BY the Asseeioied Press

The Salary Sterilization Board
went into . hasty huddle today
and then announced q change In
the new policy for baseball sal
aries, making it retroactive to 1851
for individual players who were
caught under the previous salary
ceilings.
A spokesman said kilograms
would go Immediately to all 16
major league clubs explaining the
new 1851 setup, which goes this
way:
A club may take its highest
payroll from 1916 through 1850,
add 10 per cent to it, and dis
tribute the total to it's players in
any way it sees fit.
Musial Can Seek $35,0OO.
This means that Stan MuSial,
National League batting champion
last year. will have Government
sanction to negotiate for the diff
ference between the $4,000 he
collected from the st. Louis
Cardinals last year and the re-
ported $85, 900 he was offered.
Under the policy announced
yesterday, Musial could not have
collected that extra $35.000.
For 1852 salaries, each club has
a choice Of base payroll period
either its highest payroll from
1916 through 1850, plus 10 per
cent, or its 1851 payroll without
any 10 per cent.
Giants May Strike Snag.
The New York Giants, National
League pennant winners, may run
into some difficulties.
Pennant winners usually boost
salaries sharply the following year.
The new ruling doesn't cover this
and the Giants apparently will
not be able to spend more than
in 1851.
"1t'n hurt the Giants unless
they can get released as special
case from the salary board" CAL
win Grihth, vice president Of the
Mats. said after he heard about
the new policy.
Yankees In Clear.
The Yankees, last years World
Series winner, would seem to be
in the clear.
Joe DiMaggio has announced
his retirement. That means the
Yankees will have DiMaggio's re-
ported 100000 salary to appor-
tion.
And the Boston Red Sox may
come out very well indeed If Ted
Williams doesn't collect his re-
ported 100000 salary. He is
scheduled to rejoin the Marines.
3. But what about the Browns?
Bill Veeck. new owner, is out to
build up the traditionally tail-end
American League club. Can he
do it on a 10 per cent payroll
boost? Again, it's obvious that
here's another unusual circum-
stance" which the board will be
asked to study as a special case"
Griffith said he thinks $4,000
lis a fair estimate of the average
cubs payroll.
Have Only $4,000 Extra.
Ten per cent of that is only
$40.00 extra to pass out as raises.
The old policy. set last April, i'm
posed an individual player ceiling
equal to the highest salary paid
by club to one of its players
in 1850. In effect. this meant all
players could legally be raised to
the level Of the top-paid man in
their own club. That's why Musial
has been restricted to $4,000
