Millions of dollars have been

I time that any team had gone that
I high for a tan prospect.
Juan Plzarro. the southpaw
hurler for the Milwaukee
Braves, was given about $35.-

signed him. Rut even player* of

inson, Willie Mays, Ernie Bank#

i received little money, M any,
I when big league scouts latch
j «d onto them or purchased
them from teams In the Negro
leagues.
Even ths Cincinnati Redlegtf Is
lest phenom—-Vada Pinson—-was
grabbed for peanuts. Some astute
baseball men say that in open mar
ket he’d be worth $250,000.
The reason Negro player* have
' been given pittances, of course, is
obvious. The color ot (heir skin
was regarded as tyimcthins? of a
handicap when they set down to
bargain
Some of them. lon. figured
that the opportunity sot chance
to make good In the major*
was good enough for them. Aa
ron now is making ?40 000 ii

It is doubtful now that they are
worried because they -didn't get a
1 fat sun-: when the started in or
i -aimed baseball.

■ ms Dave Ricketts, the former Du
•mesne University basketball and
'•■risebalJ star, said he would ac
lccept no more than $4,000. He
preferred regular playing in a mi
nor league to rusting on a big
ieague bench.
Earl Robison do "• not. fare that
■ prospect. The major leagues last
December threw out the rule
which required bonus playors to
sciy with s leapt twu full season &.
U is possible that this talented
young man, who captained Califor
r.ia s basketball team this year,
could rooks it right off the bat; with

Fred J. Saridy, NBA director of

over several other upset winners
during the month.
Robinson was chose** for 8*»
honor on the basis of his spectac
ular win over Carmen Basilio in
Chicago, March 25t.h. Tn the fight.
Ihe 37-year-old Robinson wrote
ring history anew by coming back
for an unprecedented fifth time to
win the middleweight title.
FuHmeji, tho No. 2 middleweight ,
contender, would have to ba reck
oned with in some way.
Gene, who was a ringside *pec
tator at the recent Robinson-Ba
ailio slugfest, said he was anxious
to meet Giardello for the privil
ege of fighting either Basilio or
Robinson. Fullmer is one of the j
three fighters to some in and lose ;
Walker was looking forward
