Don Newcombe refuses paltry 15000 offer to pitch
Los Angeles. Unemployed pitcher Alay-Don Newcombe would not take a season with the Los Angeles Angels for 15000 plus a 3000 bonus saying he earned 27000 last season and won’t work for nothing. He is training with the Dodgers as a free agent and may seek a Pirates job when they visit later this week. He was NL MVP in 1956 with 27 wins for Brooklyn and could not crack the Dodgers roster this spring.
