Wynn Quick
To Take Boost
To $4,000

TUCSON. Ariz., Feb. % P.-
For a change, Pitcher Early
Wynn has signed his Cleveland
contract early this year.
The perennial stubborn hold
out has agreed to a reported
$4,000 a year salary in a tele-
phone conversation with Hank
IGreenberg. general manager of
the Indians. Hank said at train
ing camp here today. The figure
represents a pay raise of an esti-
mated $4,000 over last season
when Wynn won 20 and lost
nine.
This will be the ninth season
with Cleveland for the right
handed ace. who is 81. He was
with Washington for eight con-
jsecutive seasons before coming
ito Cleveland. His record of 22l
victories and ITO losses makes
him the "winningest" pitcher in
the major leagues.
/ The $4,000 salary puts Wynn
about on a par with Bob Lemon
of Cleveland as the best paid
major league hurler. Lemon,
who had a 20-l4 mark last year
and has a lifetime record of
20l-ll6. signed his contract yes
terday.
Greenberg who has grown ac-
customed TO weeks-long spring
hassles with Wynn over pay,
said the burly knuckleballer was
readily agreeable. Only a week
ago Wynn had rejected a con-
tract that included an attend
ance bonus.
Although Greenberg did not
disclose any figures - the club
never does - he did say Wynn
got a substantial raise and was
given the best contract he ever
: has had.

Rudolf saSkin. piano. Constitution
hall. Program: Phantasie In d minor,
K. 397 Mozart; Sonata in D. K, al,
Opus So. seethoven; Variations and
FuGue on Theme Of Handel, Brahms.
Rudolf Serkin is one of the
finest pianists now before the
public, and his recital yesterday
in Constitution Hall showed him
at his very best. What is at
times the single flaw in his play
ing-a tendency to pound the
piano in an excess of enthusiasm
was completely absent, and his
readings Of the old favorites of
the classic and romantic litera-
ture were as authoritative and
sympathetic. and his technique
as fawleSs, as one could hope
for.
That it was to be an unusual
afternoon of music was presaged
by the Mozart D minor fantasy,
with which the program opened.
The andante was played very
evenly with gravity, not incon-
sequentially and with emphasis
on the triplet figures. as is often
the case. The adagio and quick
finale were superb. It may in
terest those who feel that the
last entrance Of the theme In
the tenor (the final 10 bars Of
the work. is somewhat perfume
tory, that the piece was left In
complete by Mozart-the ending
was added by A. E. Muller.
After the Mozart sonata in D,
K. 81. Mr.. Serkin revealed the
Waldstein sonata OF Beethoven
in its full glory. The dazzling
brilliance that is developed by
the end of the first page makes
the popular title the French
have for the sonata - 1.-THE
Dawn"-entirely applicable. The
finale was begun quite simply
and not too fast. and Beethoven's
intentional blurring Of tonic and
dominant harmony was pre-
served. The moderate tempo Of
the first part of the movement
made the final presto truly
electric.
After the sintermisSion, Mr..
Serktn turned to a piece remark
able because it is so seldom heard
in recital and because it often
seems rather uncharacteristic Of
Brahms, although it is unques-
tionably one of his finest works.
The variations Brahms wrote on
: o theme of Handel have more of
the fire and rhythmic inpetuos-
ity Of Schumann than the dreamy
introSpection of typical Brahms.
The entire work was a MASTER
piece of Interpretation and exc
cution under Serkin's hands.
What attracted my especial at
/ tention was the music box" var
iation. played quite slowly and
very quietly.
A large house gave the pianist
a warm ovation. and Mr.. Serkin
returned to play the Andante
and Rondo Capriccioso of Men,
delSSohn as an encore.
