with a .341 average last season,
spent several days here in con-
fernce with Greenberg a few
weeks ago. At that time Avila
said ne and the general manager
were close to agreement on pay
at around $4,000.
Wynn was cut after winning
II games in 1853 and bounced
back with % victories last year.
He is believed to be after the
biggest raise. The report is that
burly Early intends to stay fish,
ing and boating near his Florida
home until he's offered about
$4,000.
Dolby, it is estimated, wants
a $4,000 boost to $4,000. He
led the league in homers and
slugging last season.
The other seven unsigned In
dians are Outfielders Dave
Philley and Wally Westlake;
Pitchers Bob Hooper, Bill Wight
and Hank Aguirre; Catcher
Hank Foiles and Infielder Rudy
Regaiado.
Philley and Hooper told
Greenberg they would be in
Tucson to continue discussion
of their contracts. With the
addition of Ralph Kiner in the
outfield and Herb Score to the
pitching staff, neither player is
in too good a position to put up a
long scrap.
Except for Kiner and Score,
the 1855 Indians may be just
about the same as the 1854 ball

CLEVELAND, Feb. 28.-"Some-
one is being unreasonable. and
I don't think it's me-" General
Manager Hank Greenberg said
as his Cleveland Indians headed
for Tucson today with one
fourth of the club roster still
unsigned to 1855 contracts.
Greenberg Is concerned pri-
marily about three stars who
will become holdouts unless they
come to terms before the first
practice session tomorrow morn
ing. The odds are that all
three-Pitcher Early Wynn, Sec
ond Baseman Bob Avila and
Centerf1elder Larry Doby-won't
be in uniform in Arizona for a
while.
Greenberg talked to the trio
by telephone over the week end.
and he flies to Tucson today still
wondering how soon he will meet
them there.
Wynn is almost sure to be a
holdout for the fourth straight
year. He was the last player to
sign last year. Avila never has
signed before start of spring
training and has been a holdout
for three years running. Dolby
was the first player to sign last
season, but held out in the two
previous years.
II would feel that was being
unfair if it were not for the fact
that these same players are the
last ones to sign every year."
Greenberg said. 1T seems to me
it is more than mere coincidence.
II have never had this trouble
with Feller or Lemon or Rosen.
We have always been able to sit
down and talk the matter out
intelligently, but I can't say the
same for Wynn, Avila and Dolby"
