PHILADELPHIA (-American
League players Monday asked for
a raise in the minimum baseball
salary from $5,000 to $6,000
year.
Freddie H u t c hinson, retiring
spokesman for the Junior circuit
players, included the salary boost
among 11 demands made to the
owners.
Hutchinson, only last weekend
appointed manager of the Detroit
Tigers, said the salary increase
was necessary because of higher
living conditions, high taxes and
high prices. The $5,000 minimum
was instituted in 1947.
