Kiner National League home run king for the past seven years Paul in New York to attend the Baseball Writers dinner said he made the offer to Branch Rickey last night and the Pirates' gen eral manager had assured him he would give the proposition Paul estimated the five players he offered were worth in the neighborhood of $300000 No actual cash was offered All players cur rently are full fledged members of the Reds according to Paul Paul declined to identify the players but deemred they were all highly regarded and could play regularly for Pittsburgh Paul said Kiner's large salary reported to be as much as $90000 last year did not worry him at all "Any investment that pays a dividend is a good he said would more than make up for his salary by bis ability to draw people in at the gate realize Kiner has had trouble hitting in Cincinnati If Crosley ield proves a mental roadblock to him and he is not going to hit there the thing to do would be to deal him to some other club Kiner doesn't pan out with our club he still a good enough commodity for another club that can use his talents After all he has led the league in home runs every season since he came up seven years ago You can't beat that He is definitely worth a gamble" Kiner who was 30 years old last May suffered his poorest season in 1952 batting only 244 with only 87 runs batted in While his 37 homers tied him with
