MAY CUT SUTE TO 140CLASHES New Schedule Drawn to Abide by ODT Wishes Eastman Heartily O.K.'s By Tommy Devlne United Press Correspondent Chicago. Jan. 1 U.R Major league baseball's first 140 game schedule since 1910 may be adopted here Tuesday when the American and National leagues meet in a special Joint session called by Commissioner Kene saw M. Landis. Landis summoned the club owners to meet here upon his re turn from Washington where he conferred with Defense Trans portation Joseph B. Eastman. The commissioner submitted a plan for curtailing baseball travel and Eastman gave mi "hearty approval" to the sug gestions. The key point of the Landis proposal was believed to be a 140 game schedule to replace the 184 game card which has been in vogue since 1920. The short ened schedule would permit set ting back the opening date two weeks and enable the clubs to train near at home without ser iously hampering their condition ing. April 24 Opening A 140 game schedule has been drawn up for submission to the magnates. If they adopt it the season likely would open on Sat urday, April 24, instead of April 13 as now scheduled. William Harridge, president of the American league, pointed out the late Saturday opening would give half the clubs in each league the same number of weekend dates at home at they now have under the 154 game schedule and would take away from the others only one such weekend. The American league It known to favor a delayed opening, but the National league hat stead fastly maintained that the season should open as scheduled. If they fail to agree on the matter at the Joint meeting, Landlt would cast the deciding vote. The government'! "work or fight" edict in 1918 caused the major league season that year to be terminated on Sept. 1 after approximately 123 contests. The following season a 140 game schedule formally was adopted, but after a one-year test it was abandoned. CAGE TITLE OF 91ST AT STAKE T CairtD White.

New Year Sports Start Is Heartening to By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspondent New York. Jan. 1. (IJ.PJ The dawn of a new year finds sports breaking from the barrier with a bowl games. It is a heartening start in mese war days, regard less of what the future may hold for our athletic competitions. Twelve months ago the patrl-1 arch of all post-season classics, the Rose Bowl fixture, had to be transferred from Pasadena, Calif., at Durham, N. C, for security reasons. Likewise the east-west Shrine game was shift ed from San Francisco to New Orleans. But today's Une-up of game sites Is back on a pre-war basis. However, the war has a minor bearing on the contests in that sale of tickets to the various games has been restricted as much as possible to purchasers living in the immediate areas of the games to cooperate in the transportation situation. This may be the last "bowl day" of the war, but we doubt It. We predict now that we'll have our bowl games next New Year's. They may be played on a modified scale among standout "neighborhood" elevens to elim inate the necessity of long hauls for intersectional clashes. But we're confident that, the bowl games will be staged. There are two major reasons for this confidence: (1) The re assuring statements of service officials at Thursday's national collegiate athletic association meeting in New York indicated that all branches of the armed services favor the continuance of competitive college sports In 1943, and (2) government offi cials unquestionably realize the value of these classics not only in contributing to civilian mo rale at home but also for propa ganda purposes in proving to the enemy axis that mighty America still is taking this war in stride. New Orleans, Jan. 1(U.R Ensign Fred Wolcott of the Georgia naval pre-flight school lowered the SugHr Bowl record for the 120-yard high hurdles to 14.1 seconds yesterday In the final mid-winter preliminary of me cane country football classic.

But Chicago, well the Windy City is today's gayest bright spot in this whole war-torn world. Each night an estimated throng of 100.000 men and wonv en stroll up and down famed State Street, criss-cross blazing Randolph, and window-shop the length of the colorful thorough fares of the entire Loop district.

U.R) Donko't tippling hat been seriously curtail edpossibly for all time. .,..,, The notorious beer-drinking Mountain Canary of thlt Arizona mining town fell off the wagon recently, but no longer will the be able to pose for movies in her favorite act taking a bottle of beer in her teeth, hoisting It in the air and swallowing the contents without the loss of a single drop. So many people bought beer for her she soon became a famil iar sight as the staggered un steadily toward home, a good ex ample of the effects of over indulgence. Then, much to the amazement of all, Donko went on the wagon. Donko Hat a Colt Shortly afterward, a burro colt wat born to Donko, tired by an unknown admirer, and the shaggy tippler still stayed on the wagon, leading to the name of "Surprise" being given to the colt. The call of the saloon was stronger than the maternal in stinct, however, and Donko fell off the wagon with a resounding crash and returned once again to frequent "Joe's" and other old haunts. Once more the unsteady fig ure of the long-eared drunkard became a familiar sight as she wandered the streets of town, successfully "mooching" drinks from one and all especially camera-fan tourists. This time little Surprise took a hand In the proceedings, altho to no avail. The colt wandered the streets with her mother, braying the burro version of naoiner, dear Mother, come home with me now." The liquor namt was too strong, however. and the tippling Donko paid no attention to the cries of her infant. War brought a curtailment to Donko's imbibing, but she artill oDtained enough beer to get thoroughly "high" when the least excuse was presented. But the other day the final blow dropped on Donko's heart although she didn't know It at the time. The Gila county board of supervisors.

At the same time, the division appealed to retailers and other merchants to sell such empty containers at a nominal price either to second-hand container dealers or to the growers them selves rather than turn 'the con tainers Into channels where they will be destroyed. By following this advice. growers, shippers and retailers not only will help relieve an ex pected heavy demand for new food containers, but also ease the strain on manpower and transportation during the 1943 harvest season. In order to conserve suoolles for such purposes, the containers division recommended that all types of second-hand wood con tainers be salvaged by e-rowere and shippers, even though it may mave Deen customary in the past in some localities or for some crops to use only one type of container.
