List Prices
On Player
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) The
value of Willie Brown, a goal
keeper (or Scotland's Dundee soc
cer team, is 15,000 pounds or
about $42,000.
-Thai's what it says, right here
m print, on a Brochure put out
by the club owners.
The brochure (or the team,
which plays an ail-star club here
today, also lists the exact value
placed on every member of the
squad.
The price of James Gabriel Is
listed at tso.OOO: of a lowly rookie
named Ally Hill, $7,400.
Man, what an interesting bro
chure the rosters of professional
oaseoau teams would make if the
owners listed the estimated value
of each player and how those
prices would fluctuate!
.MANTLE'S PRICE
For instance, Mickey Mantle of
the New York Yankees probably
would have been listed as a
$430,000 chattel after the conclu
sion of the 1938 campaign. After
the first month of 1959, the price
would have dropped to just a little
ever $1.98.
The Scottish brochure on the
Dundee players explains that the
prices listed are the "estimated
transfer value." For instance,
Leeds United offered $47,600 for
forward-center Alan Cousin re
cently, but this offer was declined
The estimated transfer value of
Cousin, according to the brochure,
is 20.000 pounds or $56,000.
Among the names on the bro
chure, right in with the profession
als, is a lad named Andy Penman,
aged 16. His value? None. He is
an amateur. But he plays with
the professionals. He makes his
living as a motor mechanic.
Now this we've got to see in
American sports.
It's just like a kid from the
neighborhood high school baseball
team signing with the Los Angeles
Dodgers, making good right away.
being uiserted in the lineup but
getting no pay.
PLAYERS MIGHT REBEL
If the major leagues would list
(he estimated value of each player
; there would be a great tearing at
ne nean wnen 11 tame iu naming
he value. For instance, the San
ranciscs Giants may list Willie
,Mays, jot irauing puipuM-a.
500.000 chattel. But if Willie sees
:1his, he might say:
"So how come I get only $80,000
year?"
But if the Giants put Willie
down as worth only $200,000 to the
;club, and other clubs went in for
a trade with Mays as bait, the
cwap could come out with two
broken-down pitchers worth only
.4100,000 each.
Don't know how the Scots get
"way with listing the valuation of
;the players unless they have
a much tighter control over them
"than the Americans.
But it would make interesting
'reading to see what baseball club
-owners think of their players.
Hank Aaron,
Haddix Tie
For Award
" CINCINNATI (UPI) Harvey
'Haddix, of Pittsburgh, who pitched
perfect ball for 12 innings and
-still lost, had to settle for a tie
-with Hank Aaron of Milwaukee
'today in the National League's
"Player of the Month" award for
Iay.
. Haddix polled 17 votes, the
-tame number as Aaron, from a
voting committee of 40 baseball
writers and broadcasters who par
ticipate in the NL's monthly bal
loting. -. Haddix and Aaron were far out
in front of their nearest comoe-
i'titors. Relief ace Elroy Face of
the Pirates collected four votes
.and shortstop Johnny Logan of
the Braves received two.
Aaron, the - leading hitter in
the majors, apparently was a
cinch to win the award for May
during which he batted .376. with
Jl runs batted in and eight hom
ers. Haddix swung much of the vot
ing his way, however, when he
had a perfect game for 12 innings
'against the Braves. May 28. then
lost in the 13th inning when Joe
Adcock's double produced the only
run of the game.
The Pirates' lefthander pitched
well during May even though he
won only two of five decisions.
Haddix completed four of his six
'Starts, allowed 34 hits in 52 in
jimgs, struck out 39 while walking
' only seven, and compiled an
.earned run average of 2.08.

Adrian and Gaston will meet for
Class B honors in the first and

of goat to hero with the single
blow.
The line-drive single scored Bob
Alford from third base. He was
one of two men walked. A third
made base on an error.
The Dalles had jumped into a
quick 3-0 lead in the contest in

Ted Takes
2,500th Hit
In His Stride
KANSAS CITY. Mo. (UPI)
Ted Williams, 40-year-old Boston
Red Sox star outfielder who last
night hit the 2.500th base hit of
his major league career, took the
occasion pretty much in his stride.
He might have been a little hap
pier had not' the Kansas City
Athletics triumphed over Boston,
5-3.
Williams hit was a ringing
double into left center field hi the
first inning off righthander Ray
Herbert. The game was halted
while the umpires presented the
ball to Williams.
After the game Williams said
he well remembered his first hit
"It was off Charlie Ruffing in
Yankee Stadium. It was a high,
fast ball and I hit it over a 407-
foot sign in right center field."
That first hit occurred April 20,
1939. Ted chuckled as he recalled
"After I made that first hit I
got to second base and Joe Gordon
mow manager of the Cleveland
Indians) said to me, 'Kid, are you
scared?
"And I said, "Yes I am scared
Gordon said to me, 'Kid, you got
nothing to worry about.
"I also remember that I struck
out the fh-st two times up in that
game. Williams said.
Vet KOs
Spokane
Youngster
SPOKANE (API Massive Ter
ry Lewis teetered off the threshold
of boxing fame Tuesday night in
the same manner he reached it
the knockout punch.
Lewis who had knocked out
16 opponents in 17 undefeated
fights took three solid left hooks
to his jaw from Pennsylvania
heavyweight Earl Atley. The blows
left him flat on his back at 1:07
of the first round of a scheduled
10-rounder. It was scored as a
TKO.
The Atley fight was supposed to
be a final tune up for the 237
pound Lewis before hitting the
fistic palaces in New York, Chi
cago and Miami Beach.
His manager, Tommy O Lough
lin, was also thinking terms of the
television circuit. After the fight
O'Loughlin was pounding his hand
on the dressing room table, pon
dering the sharp turn of events.
"I told Terry before the fight
that this guy's (Atley) a convert
ed southpaw, that he signed the
hotel register with his left hand.
I told my boy to keep his left
hand up. You saw what hap
pened."
Lewis just mumbled: What a
silly mistake."
Somebody asked Lewis if the
Atley fight would discourage him
and Terry replied, "I guess I'm
just going to have to work harder."
O'Loughlin said he'd like to get
a few more fights (or Terry ana
being Atley back here again for a
rematch. "We'll fill this place,"
he said.
The Coliseum was less than half
full for Atley. Some 3,000 persons
paid a gross of $4,300.
Atley, whose chief claim to fame
had been that he is a sparring
partner of heavyweight champion
Floyd Patterson, wasn t conceded
a chance against Lewis. He had
been signed as a last minute re
placement for Emil Brtko of Pitts
burgh.
Atley is a better fighter than
anybody ever gave him credit
for," said O'Loughlin. "He'd have
to be if he's getting paid to spar
with Patterson."
Nobody in Lewis' dressing room
argued the point.
The preliminaries:
Bob McKinncy. 175, Tacoma,
stopped Bobby Harris, 169, Los
Angeles. (1:45 of 4th).

To Testify Today
NEW YORK (AP) Swedish
heavyweight challenger Ingemar
Johansson and Edwin Ahlquist, a
promoter - manager in Sweden
were scheduled to testify today
whether there ever was a fighter-
manager relationship between the
two.
Johansson and Ahlquist were to
make their federal court appear
ance in answer to a charge by
California heavyweight Eddie
Machen that Johansson ran out of
a return bout with him after the
Swede had scored a first round
knockout over Machen last Sept.
14.
Machen is seeking an injunc
tion to prevent Johansson from
meeting Floyd Patterson for the
heavyweight title at Yankee Sta
dium. June 25. He contends Ahl
quist. acting as Johansson's man
ager, signed for a return bout on
Sept. 15, 1958.
