AMERICAN GRID LEAGUE BEGINS 3-DAY MEETING Chicago, Jan. 4 (U.R) The new all-America football confer ence, which has been warring with the National Football lea gue for the past year, was sched uled for a fight in Its own back yard today at the opening of its three-day winter meeting. Commissioner James H. (Sleepy Jim) Crowley and rep resentatives of the nine all America clubs, preparing for their major league debut next fall in direct competition with the 26-year-old N. F. L., will map a 1946 schedule which probably will create more fire works than their feud with the National league. New Orleans Farored Two important items top the agenda, (1) the schedule and (2) consideration of a 10th member. The northern division of the all America already was set with teams in New York, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago. But another franchise was need ed to round out the southern division, which Includes Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami and Baltimore. The double-A reportedly fav ored New Orleans as the 10th site with Dallas, Philadelphia and Kansas City also In the run ning. The schedule scrap was ex pected to grow hot as all teams tried to cut their cross-country travel.
