John Ford Smith Ethiopian Clowns (1941)

This contract is between John Ford Smith and Ethiopian Clowns (Syd Pollock – owner). The contract is for the 1941 baseball season. It calls for Smith to be paid a percent sum of game revenues with a minimum of $ 150.00 as a salary. One of the interesting things about this player contract is that Pollock had his own one page contract form, rather than using a Standard Uniform Player’s Agreement Contract. The period of the contract was from June 16 to September 30, 1941.
