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. Most of the new owners
believed they must pare trans
portation expenses to the bone
if they were to outbid the Na
tional league for players and
survive the first five years of
operations.

Chicago, Jan. 4 (U.R) Bob
