Bob Feller Resisting Signing Contract

(Original Caption) 2/5/1949-New York, NY: President Bill Veeck (L) of the Cleveland Indians has pen and contract ready, but his ace hurler Bob Feller (R) isn't ready to do any inking yet. The two met at a party in New York, the day before the annual dinner of the New York Baseball Writers, but have not yet come to terms, although they are not far from agreement. Hank Greenberg (L, standing), vice president of the club, and Lou Boudreau, manager, appear amused at Feller's aloof attitude.
