THE
Grid Leaguers
Decide to Wait
Federal Action
By Walter Byers
(United Freea Staff Correspondent)
Chicago, Jan. 11 (IP) The Na
tional football league marked
time along with other profession
al sports today to wait until the
government definitely decides the
future of wartime professional
athletics.
Despite the vigorous protests of
owner George P. Marshall of the
Washington Redskins, the rest of
the league's 10 clubs and officials
voted yesterday to sit tight and
not discuss 1945 plans until the
White House or congress clarifies
its wishes regarding the continu
ance of sports.
In taking its position In sports
dom's "watch and wait" line, the
N. F. L. joined baseball, pro bas
ketball and intercollegiate athletic
conferences s porting groups
which have told the government
they are awaiting orders, i
Meeting Adjourned
The pro football leaders abrupt
ly adjourned their annual meeting
yesterday after less than three
hours, the owners explaining
"there is little sense in laying
plans for a football season nine
months away when we don't even
know what will happen from day
to day."
Action on the player draft, 1945
schedule, franchise applications,
rule suggestions and other busi
ness was deferred until April,
when the league owners will gath
er In New York.
However, there was a strong un
dercurrent of optimism, indicat
ing most owners expect to operate
next fall due to the belief that
servicemen want sports. Coach
Curly Lambeau of the world's
champion Green Bav Packers re
vealed the trend of thought when
he told of tentative training plans
in connection with the all-star
game, annual August grid classic
involving the Dro league titlist.
One Voice Heard
One voice wailed against the
league's'delaylng action. It belong
ed to Marshall, the always active
and verbose, leader .of the Red
skins' football antics, who claimed
the adjournment "is in violation
of the league's constitution and
by-laws."
When he learned his fellow own
ers were going to vote adjourn
ment, Marshall stormed out of the
closed session.
"It takes a unanimous vote to
call off a meeting once it is
scheduled and I was not there,"
he said afterwards.
The league had scheduled the
meeting with the intent to draft
330 college grid stars and discuss
admittance of a 12th team for
next fall and Marshall wanted
something done.
Commissioner Elmer Layden re
fused to comment on the league's
move, although he revealed that
the action had been recommended
by the league's executive commit
tee Tuesday night and endorsed
by the owners and officials.
EARLY WAR PAINT
South Dartmouth, Mass. IP
Beside the well-preserved. 500-year-old
skeleton of an Indian
found under a dwelling here was
perhaps America's earliest make
up kit a clam shell containing a
small mass of war paint that re
gained distinct red, yellow, green
and blue hues on exposure to air.

Coasting Along in the Sport World
By Hal Wood
. (United Press Staff Correspondent)
San Francisco, Jan. 11 (IPWe
hate to say this again, but it fits
here as in no place else: It's an
ill wind, that blows nobody good.
We're talking this time about the
4-F draft request and its possible
effect on the world of baseball.
There is talk' that if the non
essential 4-Fers get "greetings"
from the president, or if there is a
strict "work or fight" order from
Jimmy Byrnes, that professional
baseball,' as an organization will
fold its tent for the duration.
.However, looking at it from the
worst possible angle that the
majors and the other leagues
close down it might be a break
for the fans of the Pacific coast in
that they would get to see the
finest brand of baseball in the
history of the game.
This would come about by or
ganization of four-team regional
leagues, wherein there would be
no travel, the players holding
down regular defense jobs, etc.
Such a program easily could be
worked out in the metropolitan
areas of Los Angeles, Seattle,
San Francisco bay region and
possibly Portland and San Diego.
Using the bay region as an ex
ample, how would the fans go
for a four-team league with names
like these in the lineup: Tiny Bon
ham, N. Y. Yanks; Em met t
O'Neill, Boston Red Sox; Eddie
Lake, Red Sox; Eddie Joost, Bos
ton Braves; Joe Orengo, Chicago
White Sox; Augie Galan, Brook
lyn, Gus Suhr, San Francisco
Seals; Tom Seats, Brooklyn; Ray
Harrell, N. Y. Giants; Del Young,
Seals; Manny Salvo, Phillies;
Dolph Camilli, Bill Raimondi, Oak
land; Jim Tobln, Boston Braves;
Arky Vaughn, Brooklyn; Hugh
Luby, Giants, just to mention a
few.
All these men are working In
defense industries right in the
bay region and, coupled with
other talent owned by the Seals
and Oaks, the finest baseball In
the history of the coast would be
presented. ,
The same situation holds true
in other major cities of the coast
so the baseball picture isn't
exactly black, even if the game
could be played only a couple
nights per week, plus Sundays.
P.S. We still think there will
be regulation league baseball.
Ray Robinson

Washington, Jan.-11 U" Ray

weights, put his 46th victory in 47
starts into the books today, with
Billy Furrone of Philadelphia nis
latest victim in two rounds of
their scheduled 10-round bout
here last night.
Robinson, a 5 to 1 favorite, con
nected with the knockout punch
after two minutes and 28 seconds

Snead Is Seeking
New Golf Honors
Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 11 IP
Slammin' Sammy Snead set his
sights today on an honor he never
has been able to attain victory
in the $7,500 Phoenix open, which
starts tomorrow. -
The White Sulphur Springs,
Va., professional finished in the
money on previous occasions
here, but was never quite able to
cop the crown. In practice rounds
he showed signs of retaining the
sharp edge" that gave him ' top
honors in last week end's Los
Angeles open, finishing the warm
up in 66, two off the record on
the 71-par course.
Snead, who has won three of
five tournaments in which he has
participated since his discharge
after a two-year hitch in the navy,
is out to increase his string. He
already has pocketed the top pur
ses in the Portland, Ore., Rich
mond, Calif., and' Los Angeles
opens.
Keveuge Sought
But he is not up against Duf
fers. Harold (Jug) McSpaden, of
Sanford, Me., and Byron Nelson,
Toledo, O., golfdom's "gold dust
twins," are out to avenge the one
stroke margin by which Snead
heat them at Los Angeles. Nelson
also is anxious to hang onto the
Phoenix crown, winch he won
last year in a playoff with Mc
Spaden.
Most of the other top contend
ers In the winter tournament cir
cuit have turned out to see that
the money doesn't go by default.
Among the top hands are Craig
Wood, duration national open
champ; Bob Hamilton, PGA
champion of Evansville, Ind., Sam
Byrd, Detroit, major league ball
player turned pro golfer; Jimmy
Gauntt, Ardmore, Okla.; Herman
Barron, White Planes, N. Y., win
ner of the 1912 Phoenix open;
Leonard Ott, Den'ver; Tony Pen
na, Dayton, O., and Willie Goggin,
White Plains, N. Y.
