BONUS PAYS OEE

United Press Correspondent
New York, Aug. 23 (U.R)
Cannon-mouthed Leo Durocher,
whose histrionics on the ball
field have brought him stage
and screen offers, will have a
hard time trying to find a Job
that will pay him more money
than he gets for managing the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
Durocher comes a long way
from being Brooklyn Boss
Branch Rickey's favorite mana
ger, but before the 1945 season
ends he may become the most
high-priced pilot in major league
history.
Writers Cry
Rickey, who has more angles
than a geometry text-book, heard
the hue and cry of the baseball
writers this spring when they
came to the Dodger training
camp and described the club be
ing assembled as "the worst ever
to represent the National
league.
Not even the most rabid Dod
ger supporter among the scribes
could foresee a higher finish
than the second division for the
babes In the major league woods
that Rickey had assembled at
the camp.
Unperturbod, Rickey left the
burden of proof as to whether
the writers were right or wrong
to Durocher, who in many v ays
has become the Dodger "Whip
ping Boy."
Bonus Pays Off
If what the writers 'said was
true, the Dodgers were in for a
terrific financial beating at the
gate. But if the team could make
a race of It, there was a strong
possibility that It might have its
most profitable year. Hence
Rickey offered Durocher a one-
year contract on a bonus basis.
His base salary was reduced
from the previous year but Rick
ey stipulated that when the Eb
bets field attendance reached
500,000 Durocher was to get an
extra $5,000. From then on.
whenever the attendance went
up another 100,000 Durocher re
ceived another $5,000. With the
receipts now past tha 900,000
mark, Durocher has cashed $25,-
000 in bonuses already and gets
double feature" $10,000 bonus
when the turnstiles hit one mil
lion.
Since his base pay reportedly
was $20,000, he Is almost certain
to make a flat $55,000 for the
year, which would make him the
highest salaried manager ot all
time.
Moscow, Ida., Aug. 23 U.R
The day of the four-minute mile
is not "Just around the corner"
as most track big-wigs are say
ing these days. It's already here
says Irish Mike Ryan, University
of Idaho trach coach, who be
lieves there are today at least
three runners who can and per
haps will crack the dream mark.
Irish Mike, whose word packs
a lot of weight In big-time cin
der coaching circles, doesn't con
tend it's all a matter of psychol
ogy but thinks the "Just around
the corner" talk Isn't helping
any.
"Gunder Hagg. Arne Ander
son and Rune Persson, all Scan
dinavians, today are capable of
a four-minute mile," Ryan says,
"but they're running the wrong
kind of a race."
Oddly enough, Ryan points to
the fastest mile today to prove
his point.
"Hagg's 4:01.1 effort was
poorly timed," Mike says. "His
first quarter was the fastest,
:58.8, and his final lap next to
the slowest, :61.7. (Hagg's sec
ond lap was :61.9, and his thifd
was :61.2).
The three-time Olympic train
er believes that If he were hand
ling him, the "Swift Swede"
could do a 3:57.5 mile. Here's
how he would set Hagg's pace:
First quarter 59 seconds.
Second and third quarters 61
seconds. Final quarter within
the 56-59 second range.
Ryan backs up his faith in
the finish with the results ob
tained with Phil Leibowitz who
in 1941 as an Idaho collegian set
a Pacific coast mile mark of
4:09.3 which still stands. The
Idaho runner's quarters were 60,
85, 65 and 59.3 for an aggregate
time he had never approached
in other races when setting a
blistering early pace.
Leibowitz's time was excep
tional in 1941 in that at that time
lt was only two and nine-tenths
seconds off the world record of
4:06.6 held by Sidney Wooder-son.
Concerning the massacre of
American boys in France by the
Germans. Maj Durno said,
'Everything you have heard or
read about it is true. Our boys
were lined up and shot, some
once, some two or three times."
Maj. Durno said he heard first
hand accounts of the atrocity
from survivors under his care.
