Brnmham, en-year old prealdont of tlio National Association of Professional Baseball leagues to day declared his basebnll house to be In order. Hero for the annual meeting of the association which ends this aft ernoon, he said In an Interview, the cash registers are working, olub owners are behaving, players are pro tected, and baseball Is on a business basis. "And everybody's happy," contrib uted L. H. Adclington, publicity man for the organization, "the owners, the playors and the public." 37 l.eugues Now When Brnmham, whose annual salary Is $20,000, was made czar of the minor leagues In 1032 thore were only 1 1 of them. Now there are 37. In 1B3B there were 16,600,000 paid admissions to minor league games, said Bramhnm, a Jump of two mil lion over the previous year, and about five million more than the jnnjor league accounted for. "There 1 no enterprise In the country," said Bramham, "which showed such a remarkable comeback as baseball." He said the Increasing attendance figures are proof the public knows baseball Is a legitimate business run "by honest men. , When tho bssoball men gathered artier this week for the annual con tention of the National Association Of Bnsohall leagues, things , looked rey for big league swapping. Glant-ruh Deal Tops But today, with only a few con cluding remarks needed to end the convention, the deal which Manager Bill Terry of the Now York Giants and Manager Gabby Hartnett of the Chicago Cubs organized headed the list. Terry traded outfielder Hank Lie ber, catcher Qua Mancuso and flhortstop Dick Dartell to Hartnett for shortstop Billy Jurges, catcher Ken O Den and outfielder Frank Demaree. The 8t, Louis Cardinals revived In terest temporarily by selling pitcher Ray Hnrroll to the Cuba and ex changing outfielder Frenohy Borda garay for outfielder Dusty Cooko of the Cincinnati Reds, hut that was About all. SPOKANE HOCKEY TEAM UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP By tho AflNftelntffl Press The real news In Pacific Coast league hotkey circles wasn't the fact the Pnrllnmt Hucknmos won an other Inst night, beating the Van couver Lions 8 to 0, but the sale of the Spokane Clippers.

The morning paper's comment would Indicate it has not been as constant a reader of the M-T as It should have been to entitle It to crltlrlw, or thst, having read, It did not understand what It resd. It Is true ths M-T has been an ardent supporter of the new deal, and equally tnie that It hns slipped sway from unswerving support, but the Oregonian grievously errs and does a rank luhistlre when It Infers the attitude of the M-T la one that has been acquired aince the recent vote was counted. So far as support of republican winners Is concerned, the M-T Is not one of Ob West's Johnny-come-latelys to which the morning paper referred In lighter vein. THIS writer chanced to be a vis itor In southern Oregon during the late campaign and was at some pains to learn political trends in the ten-itory where circulates th Mall Tribune. Too often to be con sidered lightly was the comment that until hern Oregon would give a ma jority to men and measures sup ported by the Mall Tribune. That influence was reported even In Jose phine county. Election returns proved the truth of such comment.

(AP) Orefion State collrge's football team, vastly improved sines Its last ap pearance In Los Angeles when it lost to Southern California, comes back to town today for the final Pacific coast conference game of the season tomorrow agnlnst the U.C.L.A. Bruins. Conch Lon Stlner planned to send the northern Ben vers through a light workout thts afternoon, while the UCLANS go though similar duties on the Weswood pnctlce field. The beefy Bruins, hot one week and cold another, hope to stop the invaders, but few of their hackers were over-supplied with confidence. Pour of the starting Bruin players bid farewell to Memorial Coliseum In this game. They are co-captalns Hot Hlrshon and George Pfelffer, Pull back Johnny Balda and Johnny Ry land. the Bruins' all-Coaet and all America center candidate. Balda was accorded tho starting honor for the first time this year as a tribute to three-year effort on the UCLAN squad. the M-T carried aonthem Oregon handily.

JONES BOYS TO FEUD WITH BRITT BROTHERS The three Jones boys, who scored such a tremendous "hit" with local grappling fans last Monday night will have a chance to further their popularity next Monday evening In the MedTord armory. Two of them, Tony and Tuffy, collide with Floyd ond Alvln Britt, and if the House of Jones comes out of tho weekly scuffle victorious In thow two bouts the key to tho city will probably be theirs. Floyd and Alvln are liked by nobody. Tony, the 200-pound "barrel" clashes with Floyd In tho one-hour main event, and the affair Is an honest-to-goodn ess grudge match. Af ter beating Little Brother Mike Jones last Monday, Floyd received a thun derous clout on the back of the neck by Big Brother Tony, and thus was born a definite hatred between the two. Brother Tuffy tangles with Brother Alvln In the middle event, and the family feuding Is expected to show no signs of lessening. In the opener. Little Brother Mike takes on Spider Kelly of Oakland.

LAST CHANCE FOR NEW YORK, Dec. 9, ( AP) Gunnar Bsrlund, the much enduring Finn, will get what may bo his last shot at the boxing big time against Roscoe Toles,- the big Detroit negro, In the Hippodrome tonight. The Onnnar, after beating Buddy Bner and Alberto Lovell, was on the way up until Lou Nova stopped him a couple of months ago. Now he must beat Toles In tonight'a ten rounder to hold his place as & rank ing heavy. Toles Is far from a soft touch. He a tough fellow who never has fought In New York because, the gossips say, the boys are afrold of him. This Is unlikely, but he Is a thunderous hitter. He fought Jimmy Adamtck and gave that over-rated fighter such a beating he hsd to go to the hospital. 4 Fights Last Night Br Tha Associated Press PITTSBURO PrltrJe Zlvlo.

Billy Hulen says: District Teams Should Have Big Basketball Party With basketball almost ready to crowd King Football completely out of the sports picture for another year, this depart- v- - V. t1 menc toaay gives Dirch to an idea, Although the brain -cb lid Is not exactly or iginal, having: been put Into effect with much success In other 1 . .ys& parts of the country many times, It Is new to this territory. We belleVe It could be devol- Hly Hti lea, oped and pro duced here abouts with as much success. In a nutshell, the Idea Is this: why don't the district 9 maple court teams eft Ashland, O rants Pass' and Medford stoge a big, combined bas ketball Jamboree shortly before they open league action-, with all quin tets nppenrlng in the same gymnas ium tho same night? Other basket ball circuits have been doing that for years, and the result has been a booming getaway from the bar rier for the remainder of the season, a nice piece of money for the par tlcipntlng schools, and a shot of ca saba Juice In the arms of fans, who have a hard time shifting their en thusiasm from football to the win ter Bport. The three teams, who will fight It out In this district for the honor of entering the state tournament, could all swing into action at the Jamboree. And. to add another quin tet to the party so that all would ploy an equal amount of time, the Central Point high school Pointers, two-time class B county champions, could be Invited. Thus, you would have the three -class A teams of the district and the best class B quin tet of the post two years, all dis playing their stuff before undoubted ly a capacity crowd, no matter where the thing was held. Our Idea would be to slate each of the four teams to play two quar ters, opponents to be determined by a draw. For instnnce, If the names of Ashlond and Medford were drawn from a hat, they would oppose each other tho first quarter. Central Point and Granta Pass would take the floor for tho second period. For the third quarter, A-ihlaud or Medford would ngaln cut loose against either Central Point or Grants Pass. The final stanza would see the two re maining teams In action. In that maimer, each of the four teams would play two quarters of the game against two different opponents. Attempts were made by Coach Bill Bowermnn this fall to arrange a similar Jamboree for the Southern Oregon conference football teams, but at that time Klamath Falls and Ashland already had games sched uled on tho only open date available to Medford and Grants Pass. The plan fell through. However, regard ing this hasketbnll Jamboree Idea. If negotiations wero opened Immediate ly It probably could be arranged, aa no teem has completed It schedule aa yet. Bowerman's plan for the football ehlndWt was to spilt the gate receipts exactly four ways, with a quarter share going to each of the four schools. The asms thing could be done with the four bosketbsll clubs, and If we have ony Idea of what con stitutes a great sport attraction, the slice of dough going to the quintets would be considerable. MeiHonl, with Its central loca tion and the Inrgcr seating ra pacity of Its high school gym nasium, wniild he the logical n rntlnn for ttie .lamhoree. Travel hy the competing teams would he cut to a minimum; Grants Pass would he forced to come only 3i utile. Ashland 13 miles and Central I'olnt merely a stone's throw. And. nlth those tennis noulri come basketball fans, highly Important In the scheme uf things. Tf such a caaaba carnival won't pull an absolute capacity crowd through the portals, we will gladly 10 ft vipry eat this typewriter. It would b the most colorful one-night basketball show ever seen In the county, and couldn't help but product Increased Interest among the el tl sens. At this point, we will turn all further de tails over to Coach Russ Acheson or Principal O. O. Smith of Medford high, end sincerely trust they will carry on. Tomorrow, like lest Saturday, will be slim plckln'i for the great t. Pickem. With only the Oregon State-UCLA brawl In Los Angeles on the football slate, the prognostics tor will have an easy time of it. Even If he misses he won't be disgraced, because you can't belittle a guy who Mils to correctly call only one game a week. Here It Is: x UCLA -Oregon State: Despite re ports from Corvallls to the effect that Lon Stlner's Beavers are getting blg-hesded end taking this bait game too lightly, Mr. Pickem can't see anything but an Oregon State victory. Only hope for the Bruins Is Kenny Washington, who might taka a notion to run wild on the ground and fly high, wide and handsome through the air. Anyway, Oregon State 6, UCLA 0.

(UP) Jack Dempsey, the old "Manaas mauler," was voted the first annual Edward J. Nell memorial award last night by tha New York Boxing Writers' association for having dona the most for th betterment of boring during 1938. Dempsey was selected for the trophy during the most unusual meeting tn the association's history banquet at which Dempsey and his former arch rival. Gene Tunney, joined forces In putting the blast on Manager Bay Carlen for allegedly try ing to boost young Lou Nova up to the heavyweight ladder too rapidly. Manager Carlen made a spirited de fense. Armstrong Second Dempsey won the award by 20 votes to 11 over "Two-Crown" Henry Armstrong. Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis received but one ballot. The plaque will be presented to Dempsey later at the association's annual dinner. The award Is a me morial to the late Edward J. Nell, the Associated Press boxing writer and war correspondent who died from shell wounds In Spain on Jan. 3. It will be given annually to the' active or former boxer who contributes most to the sport each year. Dempsey waft selected because he campaigned constantly In various sections dulng '38 for the Improve ment of boxing. The vote was taken after Dempsey, Tunney, Manager Carlen and heavy weight Nova adjourned from tho meeting in Dempsey's tavern. Tun ney. the first speaker, said he doubted Carlen's good Judgment in matching the young California heavy for 15 rounds with Tommy Farr of Wales at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 18. Where Will He Be? Tunney continued, "Nova may beat Parr. But If he does, where will he be? He'll be close to the top before he's ready for a fight with Chamo!on Joe Louis." Dempsey echoed Tunneys senti ments and asked Nova, "How many fights have you had?" Handsome young Nova replied, "I've had 38 professional and 15 ama teur fights." Dempsey chuckled and said, "Why, you're Just a baby In this business." Manager Csrlen, surprised and Irri tated, told the gathering, "I've cer tainly been put on the spot here today. But I don't feel that I'm a greedy manager, like Tunney and Dempsey are trying to make out. I gave up my business in California and put all my eggs into one basket Nova. He'll make me or break me."
