Attendance this year fell off where television took over on a laree scale. The testing ground was the metropolitan Los Angeles area where there were, at last count, 302,000 television sets an audi ence of half a million. The cross town rivals, USC and UCLA, had cferv came tele vised this year. Their annual grudge game, usually a sell-out. was off in attendance by many thousands.

Wed., Dee. 14, 1949 Strickland-Davidson Bout Set Saturday For Armory George Strickland, the popular and talented wrestler from Den ver, hopes to score a victory over Buck Davidson, the Texas villain, without the aid of a referee's decision when the two mat rivals clash in the headliner at the Roseburg armory Saturday. It will be a grudge re-match, to settle a bloody dispute in which Davidson charged that Referee Elton Owen "robbed me." Davidson, the ex-Texas cow poke, at first demanded that an other referee be assigned before he would agree to a return en gagement, but the villain changed his mind especially after the lo cal commission told him to wrestle, or else. Strickland made a couple of requests the commis sion agreed to that the foes post a $100 side wager; that the no-time-limit skirmosh be without disqualification. The latter was qualified, however, by restricting the use of the strangle, finger laces, eye gouging and low blows. And Owen will enforce these regulations. Both men were rather badly cut In the last brawl, and even Owen's white togs were smeared Bowling Scores WOMEN! I.EAOllE Taam Standing!

UP) The drowsy winter baseball meet ings were slow waking up but when the shot came It was a corker a deal between the St. Louis Browns and Philadelphia Athletics involving 5100,000 and six players. Connie Mack's pennant-anxious Athletics shelled out the $100,000 plus iour players to the Browns to get one of the American league's top infielders, Third baseman Bob Dillinger, and a good outfielder, Paul Lehner. The $100,000 was the wel come part of the deal for the Browns whose President, Bill DeWitt, said, "I can't make any money at the gate. I've got to make it selling my best players." But the Browns also receive veteran Third Baseman Frank Gustine and three rookies Shortstop Billy Demars and Out fielders Ray Coleman and Rocco Ippolitto.

Chandler's dinner for the baseball moguls at a midtown night club. Two other transactions earlier In the day involving the Boston Braves Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs were tossed into a subordinate category by this fancy American league swap. The Braves disposed of . two players, sending Pitcher Bill Voiselle to the Cubs for infielder Gene Mauch and cash and hand ing over Outfielder Marv Rickert to the Pirates for "more than $10,000" plus a minor leaguer to be named later. Several other deals-in-the mak ing, considered red-hot, cooled off considerably. Red Patterson, New York Yankee publicist, announced that "a matter of a 23-year-old rookie pitcher" stood between the Yankees and Washington com pleting a deal Involving Second Baseman George Stirnweiss of New York and First Baseman Eddie Robinson of Washington. "Clark Griffith (Washington president) insisted no deal unless we threw in Don Johnson, one of our most promising young pitchers," Patterson said. "We couldn't see it, so he called the whole thing off. I'd say the deal was dead." Red Rolfe. Detroit skipper', aid he would sound out the Yankees on Stirnweiss, now that the New York-Washington deal appeared to have fallen through. In a secret meeting yesterday the National league decided to uphold the minor leagues whe voted to retain the bonus rule. The American league, on the other hand, voted to repeal the controversial rule. It was under stood that Chandler, who does not like the rule, will appoint a com mittee to study the matter further. The minors may be asked to vote again via a mail ballot. Rayon for draperies and furni ture covering is made from wood pulp.
