Musial Signs For Two Years With Cardinals

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 4—-(AP)—Stan (The Man) Muslal joined manager Eddie Dyer today in reaching a two-year agreement with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Stan signed the contract, which calls for “a substantial increase". after a 15-minute talk with Red- bird president Robert E. Harme-

gun.

Neither Muslal nor Hannegan would say what salary the new terms call for. but most sources estimated it. would bring the slug- ging Cardinal outfielder around 550.000 a year.

Dyer signed his tvm-year tract as manager last week.

Last year Musial didn't sign un- tll the training season was well along.

Following today's announcement Musial, 28, said he was "very satis- fied and quite happy." Asked if he felt he was at his peak, he de- clared. "no".

“A player's peak years are be- tween 28 and 32. Thattmeans my next five years should be my best and I think I'm getting better as I go along."

Opposes Idea 0f Wearing lied While llunting

By Rae Corelll

HALIFAX. Oct. 4 -tCP) - For itmumei-able years. hunting sea.- sons have opened across the coun- try. When they do. hunters —WhO are breed of people with infallibll faith in their own immortality- head for the woods bedecked in red, The brighter the red. the better.

Red is supposedly the hunters’ passport. It will prevent him from becoming ti target for an eagle-eyed. blrd-brained fellow Woodsman intent on taking home a prize. be ll. moose or squirrel. The bright flash of oolor will stay s. hunter's finger on the trigger.

‘These. then. are purportedly the life-saving powers of red, the color which lrifurlates s. bull. but re- turns ii fanatic hunter to sanity.

But there is one firm. immov- able. unshakable sportsman who believes all this bunk about wear- lng red in the woods -— is bunk. In a. letter to the Halifax Mail. Gordon Baker of Bcdford. N. 5.. says:

“The writer . . . is far from l.- lone in the opinion that the ‘wear red’ hunting season slogan is not only dangerous. but has actually been the indirect cause of serious. if not fatal, accidents in the woods." -

l-‘le continues: "No one has the right. to discharge a high-power- ed rifle st any dbiect. which he cannot identify positively, be it red. black or white. and no hunter has the right. to fire on a partial- ly screened defect simply because no red is showing."

Giving vent to a host. of pent. mp feelings on the ‘matter. Mr. Baker explodes: "So whv. then en- courage criminal negligence by giving some rattlebralris the idea they are sale if the object. doesn't wear red?”

They moved out of old Loagui Park. with a seating capacity o1 28.000, and leased mammoth Cleveland Stadium, which bulged with an all-time mslor league record crowd of 82.781 last. Juno 20.

Veeck brought in as coaches Bill McKechnle. who managed four pennant-winning National Mogul clubs. and Harold (Muddy) Ituel. former manager of the It. Louis Browns and coach for 11 your: with Chicago -Whil.e 50x.
