Chisox Sign
Nellie Fox
For $40,000
By UNITED PRESS
The Chicago White Sox
and the Cleveland Indians
have adopted decidedly dif
ferent methods in dealing
with potential holdouts.
The White Sox seem to be
meeting all the demands of
their players by doling out
record salaries, but the Ind
ians have instituted a "get
tough" policy with six of their
"stragglers."
All - Star second baseman
Nellie Fox, no-hit pitcher Bob
Keegan and veteran south
paw Billy Pierce accepted
their 1953 contracts with the
White Sox Wednesday.
Fox became the highest
paid player in the history of
the club when he signed for
"over $40,000." Pierce, the
Sox's top-salaried pitcher in
history last year at about
$35,000, also was given a
slight pay boost while Ke
egan, who pitched the only
no-hit game in the majors
last season, received " a sub
stantial increase."
Lane Issues Warning
However, all was not so
serene in the Cleveland tepee,
where General Manager
Frank Lane warned six Ind
ians they may lose much
wampum if they don't sign
by March 1.
Lane said that $100 will be
deducted from the contract
offered to each holdout for
every day he fails to report
at the Indians' training camp
at Tucson, Ariz.
Veteran outfielder Gene
Woodling, one of the six un
signed Cleveland p I ayers,
answered Lane's threat with a
threat of his own.
"I won't hold still for any
thing like this," he declared
"It just means that my price
will go up $100 every day
after March 1. We have a
baseball commissioner and I
think he ought to step into a
situation like this.

that Portland was a labor
surplus area and that the area
has fine facilities for handling
defense work.'
