"TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1036 BIG FOUR OF BASEBALL SIGN CONTRACTS FOR 1936 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON GEHRIG WILL DRAW $30,000 FOR SERVICES New York. Jan. 21 (LP) Four of baseball's highest salaried players Lou Gehrig and Lefty Gomes of the Yankees, Carl Hubbell of the Giants and Jimmy Poxx ol tne Red Sox have signed 1936 con tracts. Gehrig, highest paid player out side the manager-player group, will receive $30,000. He signed his 1838 contract early In 1935 after return in from a world tour. He demand' ed a 2-year contract at that time at $35,000 per season, but signed two one-year contracts for $30,000 each. Gomez will complete the second year of his two-year oontract for $40,000, which he signed before the 1935 season. But for this contract Gomez, who won only 12 games ana lost 15 last season, would have to take a pay cut. Hubbell's 1936 signed contract was received yesterday by the Giants. In 1934 Hubbell, according to ornciai figures, was baseball's highest paid pitcher. He received $15,500 that year. It la believed that he drew about $19,000 last season, and prob ably was raised to $20,000 for 1936 Poxx signed his 1936 contract hortly after he was traded to the Bed Sox. He drew $16,666 with the Athletics last season, but made ad ditional money from a radio broad cast. Tom Yawkey, Red Sox owner, tore up Foxx's old contract which carried over to 1396 and gave him a new one believed to call for !2t, 000. Only a few players outside the player-managers will be in tne $zu -000 class. Hank Greenberg, Tigers' first baseman who drew about $7, 500 last season, Is talking about de manding a $40,000 salary, based on his record of driving In 170 runs. He probably will get around $15,000, a 100 per cent Increase. Dizzy Dean, who drew about $20,' 000 last season, probably will be the highest paid pitcher In the major, in 1936. He wants a 2-year contract for $70,000, but is likely to settle for a figure nearer $25,000 a season. COX COMES BACK AFTER BAD START Sacramento, Jan. 21 VP) Wlffy Cox proved today a seven on a par four hole should never discourage a golfer. . Cox had such a hole yesterday and still beat Wild Bill Hehlhorn of Louisville, Ky In a play-off for $750 first money In the Sacramento open golf tournament but he had to shoot an eagle three to do it. The Bethesda, Md professional, suffered a seven on the 431-yard fourth hole after hooking his sec ond shot Into a hedge. He came back on the 545-yard thirteenth to hole a 75-yard approach for his eagle. Mchlhorn, tied with Cox at 266 strokes at the end of 72 holes Sun day, struggled along almost even with the former gob to that point and although he tried gallantly thereafter, doing his best to sink an ace at the short eighteenth, he never caught up.

ELLIOTT PLANS STOP CHAMBERS Harry Elliott, University of Ore gon wrestler, does not believe Cliff Chambers, mcanie type grappler, can make it three in a row. The two men will meet In the main event of tonight's wrestling show at the armory. On two previous occasions Chambers has forced El liott into defeat, largely through his boisterous, manner. A week ago Otis Clingman tamed the "hobo" much to the delight of the capacity crowd. A repetition of that affair would displease no body with the possible exception of Chambers. Booked for the 45 minute special event, JackCurtls and Bud Lips comb will trade forearm blows and holds. Dick Costello and Otis Clingman will start the fireworks at 8:30.

The young German who started today at the head of the pack going "round and round" here, says he always does. "I weighed 155 pounds Sun day afternoon before the start." he said. "At the end of the race I'll weigh 160 or 162. My face will be drawn but my legs and arms will be thicker. The muscular development accounts for the gain. "Some other riders gain weight. Those who are high strung lose because of nervous exhaustion." It's not the legs that get tired, Duelberg insists, but the neck and back. cnberry 35; 25 targets J. McKce 24, R. Welty, A. Keene 20 W.
