Yankees Star Sees $80000 Salary, Sees A's Challenge
S Peters burg March 18 Signing my new contract I have received hundreds of letters from fans across the country. I admit eighty thousand dollars a year is a lot of money and I pinch myself to believe it. The Yankees are strong this year and with pitching we’ll be in the race from start to finish. The Athletics have the spirit of champions and will be tough to beat. The pennant fight in the American League will likely be between the Athletics and the Yankees again this year.
