The contract difficulties with the Cardinals began shortly before the season opened, when Marty Marion, shortstop and the 1944 moet valuable player, obtained an increase to $13,000 for the season, subject to wage stabilization ap- proval.

Talked Over Contracts

After awarding that contract, Breeden said he called to Morton Cooper, and his brother and bat- tery mate. Walker Cooper, for a renegotiation oi their contracts. He explained that he had prom- ised the brothers no player on the club would receive more pay than they this year.

But Walker Cooper said the new offer was rejected, explaining that they had signed ior $12,000 with the understanding that ltwas the ceiling salary ior the club 11n-
