I Major League ' Stars Rush To s Sign Contracts k . ! New York, Jan. B—(UP)—Baseball’s gold rush of 1948 was on in full stampede today as star playk ers rushed to grab fat raises out of the bulging money bags of major league club owners. At first glance, it was hard to tell whether it was the players or the owners who were the most anxious • to get salary terms settled in quick order. But unless some serious cases developed later there are likely to be fewer holdouts than at any time since before the war. That the owners sense the trend seems apparent in the fact that such stars as home run king Johnny Mize of the Giants, Joe DiMaggio, George Stirnweiss, and Tommy Henrich of the Yankees, Ted Williams of the Red Sox, Ewell Blackwell of the Reds, and various others have been given raises without a whimper. There are, of course, some who still refuse to sign 1948 contracts In the American league, bullet Bobby Feller hasn't gotten to the pen and ink stage yet with his Cleveland Indians’ boss, Bill Veeck, but no great difficulty is anticipated. Feller said at a hunting lodge in Eagle River, Wis., that he wasn’t in any hurry to sign up. He said he was coming to Cleveland on business within 10 days, but that he didn’t think he would be ready to discuss his contract at that time. Also playing “hard to get” are such stars as Detroit pitcher Hal Newhauser, who had a mediocre season; outfielder Dixie Walker who has transferred his allegiance from Brooklyn to Pittsburgh, his brother, Harry Walker, who won the National league batting crown with a .362 figure-at Philadelphia and virtually all hands on both the St. Louis Cardinal and Brooklyn Dodger teams. 0
