He may sign a rnaJor league bonus contr~ct for close to $150,000 within a fo1 tnight "Three clubs alrP,ady have bid $100,000 for him, or better," reports Dan (Private Eye) Crow- ley, onetime home run slugger for the Hollywood Stars and more recently, a candidate for Sheriff.

Hornung is the National Foot• ball League's all-time top scorer for a single season. Since m~st of his points were acrumulaled via field goals and extra pomts, this was qu1ta a feat for Perkowski.
