Senators Sign Williams To Five Year Contract
Washington Senators appoint Hall of Famer Red Williams manager with a five year deal that may make him the richest paid pilot in baseball. Williams will be part owner and vice president, with estimates placing pay around 100000 dollars a year and ownership at about 10 percent. The deal comes as the club, long in the American League cellar, seeks a turnaround under Williams and owner Hubert Short.
