1f Cleveland has another record smashing year at the gate, Bou dieau’s bonus will be hiked proJortionstety and he could surpass e $75,000 figure, He new contract makes him not only the highest paid player in the game today but puts him almost in the same financial bracket with the immortal Babe Ruth, who" drew $80,000 in his

prime. Select Circle Only Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox, Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees, Hal Newhouser of the Detroit Tigers and teammate Bob Feller of the Indians are in the select circle of fabulous money players now joined by Boudreau, Feller, last year the highest paid player in the-game with a total income of $82,000, will sign his new contract in a few days. But this year he will be only the highest paid pitcher in baseball. The fireball hurler is expected to receive about $65,000 through his bonus-salary arrangement. Boudreau earned his new highpriced contract by leading the Indians to the world championship last season, through his superb fielding, hitting and managing. Tried to Trade Him But at the end of the 1047 season, with the Indians in fourth place, President Bill Veeck tried desperately to trade him off and find himself another manager. Veeck almost closed a deal with the St. Louis Browns, but a public outcry from the irate Cleveland fans halted the deal. The sharp-eyed Frenchman received approximately $50,000 for his playing and managing last year that led to the first championship for Cleveland in 28 years. Williams and DiMaggio both received about $75,000 fast season and will earn about the same kind of money this year. Newhouser signed up recently for about

Rumors Hint Title

Bout in June MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 25 (UP)— While contradictory statefnents

flew back and forth regatding a June title fight offer made te Joe Louis, the heavyweight champion made ready to battle Elmer (Violent) Ray tonight in an exhibition bout at ¢he Orange Bowl. Ray, a hard-hitting Negro from Hastings, Fla., has long awaited the chance tonight's - six-round set-to offers him to prove his fitness for a championship bout. However, the much-debated title offer made to Louis by a Chicago Democrat for a fight there did not involve Ray, but rather the winner of the Feb. 28 bout at Cin-{" cinnati between Joey Maxim and Ezzard Charles. The offer was made by Joseph Plunkett, chairman of the special events committee of the Cook County, Illinois, Democratic Party. . ‘Accepted Verbally’ In Chicago, Plunkett stated Louis has already “accepted verbally” his proposition and that “it’s just about definite that Louis will defend his title in Chicago.” This statement was disputed here by Harry Mandel, manager of Louis’ exhibition tour, who said the champion was still awaiting Plunkett's reply to Louis’ proposed financial terms. Mandel said Louis asked for 50 per cent of the gate receipts with a guarantee of $400,000, plus 50 per cent of the motion picture and radio revenue and al of the television money.
