PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1941, BASEBALL'S EAR TUNED TO MEET OF BIG Li National Sport's Place In War Picture May Be Set Forth Trading Slumps. By Judson Bailey Chicago. Dec. 11. (JP) Base ball had its ear tuned tor to day's joint meeting of the major leagues as the possible sound ing board tor a statement of the sport's war aims. The National and American leagues have been in separate and secret sessions for two days and much of the discussion of the owners has been concerning problems created by the war. Up till now Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis has remain ed virtually silent about base ball's place in the national ef fort but it was believed the Joint meeting would produce some expression irom organ ized baseball as to its plans. Trading Slumps Trading calmed down over night the only new deal being the Cleveland Indians' purchase of pitcher Vernon Kennedy from the Washington Senators for about the waiver price of $7,500. The one-time Detroit star won only three games and lost 11 last season while split ting his services between St. Louis and Washington. The absence of trades helped turn the full spotlight on the business sessions of the leagues, the owners wrangled all day long about the amendment to the major-minor rules ' which the minors adopted unanimous ly in an attempt to loosen the restrictions on the movement of players within farm systems. A Joint steering committee appointed from the two leagues was unable to agree on the amendment and It was under stood the magnates read no fewer than tour different mean ings into the rule. As a last device It was planned to have Landis Interpret the rule today before it came up for a vote in the joint session. There was a chance some final trades might be rushed through before the owners arid managers left town, but no new Indications were to be seen and the best tip continued to be the New York Yankees' dickering tor first baseman Dolph Cam 1111 of the Brooklyn Dodgers.

W) A prohibition of the sale of rub ber tires and tubes, effective until Dec. 22, went into effect today on order of the govern ment pending the formulation of "a more permanent" plan for controlling rubber distribution. Donald M. Nelson, OPM pri orities director, Issued the order banning the sale of tires to the public to curb what the OPM termed "a consumers' buying wave" which started quickly after the outbreak of war in the Pacific. Only persons or firms granted the high OPM priority prefer ence rating of A-3 may be sold tires or tubes, the announce ment said. The prohibition stipulated that without a preference rating now new tires or tubes for auto mobiles, trucks, buses, motor cycles, farm implements or other machines may be sold by anyone including wholesale or retail dealers. The restriction does not apply to the sale of used tires and tubes, re-treaded tires or to tires or tubes furnished with new or used automobiles. Under the OPM order, proces sors are prohibited for the time being from consuming or pro cessing any rubber except for defense needs approved by the OPM. CRANC I Alb.,-4 S. Ooaa of Washington, D.
