Mickey Mantle Dissatisfied At Yank Pact By FRED DOWN : United Press International Mickey Mantle, the Yankees’ famed long-range bomber, fired a hot potato from Dallas, Tex., to New York today—and dropped it right in the middle of General Manager George Weiss' lap. , “Just say I’m dissatisfied, period," growled the 27-year old home run king after announcing that he has returned his unsigned Contract to the Yankees. ~'You can add that I'll never take a pay cut. I’m planning on a raise.” - — The size of the pay eut offered Mantle, who earned an estimated $75,000 last season, ranged from a “token cut’’ of $3,000 to a huge bite of $15,000. Weiss did not say whether Mantle would be offered a cut in his press conference Tuesday but he did say a few of the world champions would be unpleasantly surprised when they saw their contracts. Averages Fall Off Mantle's average in 1958 fell off to .304 compared to his .365 of 1957 but he led the league with 42 homers, knocked in 97 runs and can argue he is the American League’s No. 1 drawing card both at home and on the road. It is still too early to tell whether Mahtie and Weiss are about to carry on one of those old- time disputes in the tradition of Babe Ruth and Ed Barrow, but it is possible that they are as much as $27,000 apart at present. Until recently it was believed Mantle was hoping for a $15,000 raise to $90,000.

' From a tactical point of view, offering Mantle a slice is a dou-ble-edged sword. The Yankees obviously wotild gain the upper-hand with every other player on the club if they can get Mickey to agree to acwt. On the other hand, it is unlikely that many other Yankee stars will come to terms until they have a fair idea how Mantie fared.

Pro Gridders Seek Pension From Owners PHILADELPHIA (UPI) — The National Football League, its draft of 360 stars completed, met with the Players Association today to discuss the pension plan asked of the league by the pro gridders. The players, headed by end Billy Howton of Green Bay and attorney Creighton Miller, hailed the meeting as their “first direct contact” with the owners in their campaign which began in 1956 to provide a pension with health, accident, hospitalization and allowl--for permanent injury. The players represent all teams but the Chicago Bears. Commissioner Bert Bell announced that “all of the owners said they would attend the meeting.” The players said they hoped tar the appointment by Bell of a committee of owners “with the authority to act.” The plan had considerable opposition among the owners with the pertinent question “who will pay for it?" Bell Cites Losses Bell’s earlier opinion was “not the owners” as he cited that despite a record attendance of more than three-million fans this year, two of the clubs lost money, one was a border line case and two were saved by big gates at the end of the season. Notre Dame passed the exacting tests of the prq critics mqst successfully Wednesday when 10 Irish gridders were tapped during the 26 round, 13-hour-long session. The Washington Redskins selected four, San Francisco took a pair of tackles, while New York Philadelphia, the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh all helped themselves from the Irish bench. Dick Loncar, choice of Pi 11 s b urgh, played freshman ball at South Bend, is now in the Marine Corps and has three years of eligibility left. Fifth Round Picks .. First round selections—actually the fifth round in that four picks were made last December—found Washington taking end Bob Wetoska of Notre Dame; the Chicago Cardinals getting Maury Schleicher of Penn State and tackle Ted Bates of Oregon; Philadelphia tackle Nick Mumley of Purdue; San Francisco getting tackle Frank Geremia of Notre Dame; Cleveland getting guard John Wooten of Colorado and back Dick Le Beau of Ohio State; Los Angeles end John Lands of Montana; tire Bears fullback John ! Adams of Los Angeles State; NewYork guard Ellison Kelly of Michigan State; Baltimore guard Hanson Churchwell of Mississippi, and Green Bay guard Andy Cvdrcko of Northwestern. Purdue of the Big Ten and Auburn each were tapped for six players, and Syracuse was reached for five but the Irish fell like leaves once the coaches warmed up. Other Irish Selections In addition to Wetoska and Geremia as the first round choices, Notre Darners tapped included tackle Don Lawrence, fullback Ron Toth and halfback Norm Odyniec to Washington; guard Al Ecuyer to New York; tackle Bronco Nagurski Jr., to San Francisco; tackle Angelo Mosca to Philadelphia; quarterback Bob Williams to the Bears and Dick Lon Car, a tackle in the Marines to Pittsburgh. Nick Pietrosante went to Detroit in the December draft. In keeping with custom,, the pros turned their backs on many of the highlighted stars. Joe Kapp, California back highly regarded on the West Coast, was the 209th player drafted when Washington took him on the 18th round. Ecuyer went in the same round. Billy Austin of Rutgers didn’t go until the 28th round, largely because he isn’t interested in pro ball, and Army’s fabulous Pete Dawkins, consigned to Rhodes scholarship and military service, didn’t go at all.
