Wills tops Babe Ruth class with salary talk
Maury Wills, the 31 year old Dodger speedster, drew attention as he nears entry into Babe Ruth’s class with talk of a big new contract. Bambino-like talk aside, Wills said he may seek up to 100000 while declaring he is not worth the three year 500000 figure discussed by Koufax and Crandall. Dodgers begin exhibition schedule as spring workouts continue in Florida and Los Angeles.
