Most of the youngsters in the game today are nuts on feature angles, weirdo stories and zany antics. Hard reporting has, to a great degree, gone by the boards. Today’s reporters seem to have lost their senses when it comes to ftnances--as have Congress and so many credit consumers. A recent UPI story loudly proclaimed that Ron Guidry was finally going to get what he deserved, a multi-million dollar contract.

made of the fact that just such deals have threatened to bankrupt some clubs, and could lead to the buying of pennants. Guidry deserves the big pay hike as much as anyone. But, realistically speaking, only a few clubs can pay only a few big gate attractions huge salaries. To imply that everyone else is underpaid is nonsense. Rusty Staub bought that line and turned his back on a $200,000 contract. He woke up in the nick of time. Those who think every very good player can break his contract at any time, and get a huge reward every time he'has a good year, are being dazzled by a few big show-biz attractions and silly sports writers.
