XEW YORK CITY fCXS)—Xothinp is eoustant but (‘haiigp. We rt'CfUtly weif listening to tiisfussious re(farding certain news excerpts in the New York dailies reffardinif .lackie Ilobinson seek ing more pay from Brancli Rickey. We also glanced twice at piecemeals in two New York columnists’ works sayinp that “ Uob- bie” should have his old contract torn up and be paid wliat lie is actually worth. When you have ably been a newshawk youmdf, for some time, yoli take tiiese thing's wilh a grain of salt, so to speak, be- caiist' \ ou never know wliicli way the wind blows unless you hap- |)eu to Ix' on th‘ ‘inside.’ It re minds ns of the reviews appear- pearing in the papers when .loe Ix>uis was at tlie French Lick Springs, hid., training for the secontl Milly Coini battle. This and that and the other was said. We, very politely, journeyed over . 10 the id'oreni(*ntioned “Iloosier” town anil tlid our selves a frenniiie first-hand story, 'i’alking to .Joe and bis trainer, Mannie Seamon, S(‘ttled a lot of lie-sjiid; you-said ; they- •said. So one learas. AVhile calndy perusing our daily jmt-porrage of ncnvs, we came acros.s an amazing item. It made us think twice about the Kobiilson remarks in the news, and even 1 hough we had )>artial- ly d.“ciled that maybe .laekie shi^dd take it half-way easy, we came to an old adage, niention- ^ed in tlie opening lines. Yes, NOTHING IS CONSTANT BT’T CHANGE. The interesting item culled from our meanderings through the tabloid sheets is a story by Ml'RBAY emanating out of f’liicago, as regards the transfer ring from the Chicago Cubs to the minor leaguejiof oue Frankie Gustine. I will quote the story, verbatim, and then let you de cide. Maybe JacVie isn’t so far wrong at that. I5y golly, accord ing to this story he should have been paid $50,000 a rear when he first came up and if he don’t sret $r)0.(KK) sckui he neds to have Rickey’s head, feet and hands i-xainined. The story follows: “They aren’t siiying much, but the f'ubs are still seething over the shabby treatment given to Frankie Oustine. one of the National Ijeague’s most popular players, over the week-end. Sat urday he played a double-liead- er agaiiih/t the Pliils. here, and that iiifjlit he was hi*aded for Ii(s Angeles aiul llic minor lea gues. * “That Gnstine was over the hill was no secret. That waK one of the rea'srms why the l‘irates Iff him go to the Cubs in the le«l for Cliff Clunubers and Clyde .McCnllongh last Deceui- bir. lint he has been playing regularly for the Cubs and the •(iliek IxMit lie g(»t — shocked his mates. “I think its mighty siirnifi- ejMit,” said one of thenj. “tha* he was a few «lays short of heinir n ten-year maii. .\fter that, he eonid dicker for his own serv- _ (Editor’s Note; GET THAT!—FEW DAYS SHORT OF BEING A, TEN-YEAR MAN!) “Rut the front office made snre they'd (jret some use out of hirn 'themselves. It was a lousy deji: anvway you look at it.” , That Ik the end of the quotes, but -arnesfly direst what Mur ray. a competent sports writer, addsj. himself as a matter of factual I'cporliug. Murray’s piece folhrtvs: “(lustine sp(‘ut almost nine years, with the Pirates and he was one of the most popular players that town has had in the last deeadi'. Hut the Pirate nninagement knew lit; was near the end of the road and unload ed him before he I'caidied it. 'I’hc Cnbs, realizing that they’d lic'en mulcted, af>parently decided to take it out on Gustiu('. “It woidd be different if Frankie were a playboy or a listless guy who Mould not hus tie. He has always been the fin est type of athlete, lie had no bad habits and he lU'ver stop ped hustling. And the way he was sent away left his mates in slow burn. “The club expUination is tliat Gustiiu* had faili'd to deliver and that they had to make room for a youngster named Wayne Ter willinger, a slick-fielding 23 year ohl with less than 130 arames of pro ball behind him. ‘When you are rebuilding yon can’t let sentiment interfere,’ said a club official last night. “Gustine loses the ten year pension of $100 a month by thi. move. Now, unless' he comes back for another 30 days, he’ll get only the $50 a month that goes to five-year men when they are 50.” That ends Murray’s (piotes. DID YOU BASEBALL FAITHFULS READ THAT! Can you remember when you thought it was a crime that play ers were going to organize and fight to protect themselves for the families they had to sup port when they had been played out by thi'ir various manage ments .■ REMEMBER? Well, remember, also, .lackie I{*)binson plays hall very, very hard. Very conscientiously. If he gets trans- ferreti, a few da.vs short of be ing a teu-vear nmn, THE SAME THING ‘that HAPPENED TO GUSTINE HAPPENS TO HIM! The National licague isn't go- ijig to do anything about it. Ford Frick’s check reads Ford Frick — not Fran'Kie Gustine— and ,von ean bet it doesir’t read $50 nor ever will. Wrigley isn’t going to do anythnig about it. Fri.sch isn’t going to do any thing about if. Frisch wan part ly resi»onsible for having him go barely short of pension re- (juiri'ments. 'I’he tans better not voice too nnieh opinion or they will be barred ont of the base ball parks. Some of these organizations think they have soaked away so ,so infli'h of \oni‘ money in the past—they are at the point jiow ilint theyconld almost manage by pa\ing oil' the ofl'iee help and living from the accrnecl in terest on tlieir »longh in the hankn, That is, all those that art'n't hroki’ iw in lioek to a lo cal bank. 'I'lie whole thing boilw down Id one fact. The baseball fan, himself, is a sucker to ever be on the side of hast'ball iinniage- m^nt. At anytime - for any cause. l>aseball is now a coni- merieal business. As such it is not interested in “snudl fry” pi'ol)l«nm;. {’layers are small fry. riie\' come; tjiey j'o; they play; Ihey fall by the wayside; they put in nine an/l seveii-eightjis years and they go back to tin* minors; they g> on the $50 five- year men jjlan (if they do finish the ten-vear period out) and evervbodv'BUT THE GUY WHO SWEATED UNDER THE SUN WHEN YOU WERE IN THE BLEACHERS SPORTING YOURSELF TO BEER, PEANUTS AND A GOOD BALL GAME, is happy. JACKIE never was so d7-d right. Rickey ought to pay him $50,(MK) hack salary plus that little courtesy gesture he has b*en doling out. Anytime you play wHh a team like the Dodg ers,' |)la.v ball the way Robbie can play; take the he('kling th(> Chicago and St. I»nis crowds hand out ,ju_sf because; then yon are i>ntitled to double indemnity on general ))i inciples and triple indenniity because of the eir- eumstances involved. BROTHER RICKEY, CAN YOU SPARE $50,000?

(micl^) Neilson, Gideon Smith, and Sjdvions Moore. lie is due to find in the group of 65 players around 50 who were on the squad last year Such familiar names as these are included in the list of tho.se due to be back: Captain Bill Corbin at tackle; All-CIAA “8eap’’ Ix’wis and Malachi Al len, oi\e of 1948’s most promis ing freshmen, at endi}; another All-Star, Luther Gomlall, at .guard along with such .men as l)(>ive.V W^ilson, Horace Savage, and John Parson; “U*‘d”AVil- liams, Clyde Reed, and John Cunningham at center; and in the backfield, Jim Dillard, Khaki” Carroll, Richard WTl- liams, James Brjson, Lloyd PiM)le, Arnold Thurnumd, and several other veteran perform ers. Mis.sing from the ranks, how ever, will l)p Uay Stiles and James Ijcwis, a fine pair of ends; powerful Tom Kiah and hig Charles Stafford, tackle mainstays; several replacements at guai'd ; the team’s two leading ground-gainers. Halfbacks Bill Lovett and Corky Payton; and Captain Bill Christian, fullback. Two of the big^gest question marks are who will fill Tom Kiah’s shoes at tackle and who will blos,som into, a consistent offensive threat. Several new' men arc to report for practice, but Coach Jefferson is not pre dicting that they will make • a great difference in the team.
