Dec. 14 AI.R) A battle royal appeared to be In the making today oetween pro fessional football and major league baseball unless the latter curtails its season. The fight started yesterday when the maior leagues at their joint winter meeting voted to bar football from thier parks umu the home baseball season has been completed. For the most part, It leaves the national foot ball league teams without sta diums for their early season games. The only solution appeared to be for a shorter baseball season something which probably will come up for discussion when the major leagues next meet in reu- ruary. But wnue were is con siderable sentiment for a shorter season outside of baseball circles, there is very little, If any, among the men who own ana run tne game. It may develop that baseball men cut their own Incomes when they voted as they did. For pro football has become big business and the money which It turned over in rentals 'for ball parks means considerable to the base ball clubs involved. . IN FAKE MATCH Oakland. Calif..

U.S. tntmm Onuatat E MAIN EVENT CARD "Goreoeous" George Wagner, who has his collection of beauti ful ring robes insured for $5000, will return to Medford Armory tonight to mix with Jack Kiser, coast champion, In one half of the double main event. Wagner has been seeking a title go with Kiser, in an attempt to regain laurels he lost to Paavo Kato- nen, and will be In position to demand a shot at the crown If he can get past the clever Van couver grappler.

HANDCRAFTED GLASSWARE SATINTOHE- With Its soft, satiny finish and delicately tJ UACQTDft- ;Ti If HASTY WARTIME MARRIAGES' ARE DOOMED FAILURE Boston. Dec. 14 The hasty wartime marriage is like ly to be a failure, a majority of 10 "golden wedding" couples whose married lives span three wars and total 836 years agreed today. In a poll conducted by tne United Press, these New Eng land couples who have been wed more than half a century voiced these views: . There's no need to hurry and become a war bride because there'll be plenty of men avail able after the war. The courtship should last from two to three years. The best age for a girl to marry is 23. The best age for a man to wed Is 26. The way to a man's heart la very definitely through his stomach. There's no truth to the adage "the first hundred years are the hardest." If they .need the advice of these oldsters, girls who want a happy home will don their aprons and get out their cook books as soon as the honey moon Is over. They'll establish a home of their own, have chil dren, "share responsibility un selfishly and make the neces sary adjustments pleasantly." Above all, the oldsters advise, don't give your husband the idea that "you think you're per fect" GEM STILWELX PLEA Washington, Dec. 14 (U.R) Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell, former commander of U.
