rMEDFORDITRIB' UNE A Yankees Complete Plans To Rebuild Baseball Empire New York, Jan. 8 4U.R) The old and the new in the New York Yankee baseball empire completed long range plans to day to blend their efforts toward restoration of the prestige they suffered when war depleted the rosters of all of its key clubs. Representing the old regime was bluff Joe McCarthy, the most successful manager in ma jor league history, who almost resigned last summer because of illness. Returning from the old guard to help him was Rob ert (Red) Rolfe, who leaves be hind him a brief but successful career as Yale baseball and bas ketball coach to take over the head Yankee coaching Job. New Order Ambitious The new order, which came In when Larry MacPhail took over bs president after he and associates purchased the club last year, is as ambitious as the old Yankee group was conserva tive. MacPhail announced that he had named Parke Carroll, for mer business manager of the Minneapolis club of the Amer ican Association as general man ager of the Newark farm club. Appointment of Carroll to the ivewarK post was a mild sur prise since he had been expect ed to head the Kansas City farm club because of his con nections there as sports editor of the old Kansas City Journal. The Yankees still have a field manager to select at Newark be cause Fred Fitzsimmons, former Brooklyn Dodger pitcher and manager of the Phillies through part of last season, turned down the job. He said he preferred to remain at his job as business manager of the Brooklyn entry in the All-America football con ference. Associate coaches under Rolfe will be Johnny Neun, Earl Coombs and John Schulte, hold overs in the Yankee organiza tion. Neun was former manager at Newark and Kansas City, while Schulte and Coombs have been coaches with New York for several years. Arcadia, Calif., Jan. 8 OI.R) Sirde, First Fiddle and Loubre, who ran in that order in the seven furlong San Carlos race on New Year's day, were among 23 three-year-olds nominated to day for the $50,000 San Pasqual handicap at Santa Anita. TOUGH TIME FOR "MEANIES" SEEN IN BATTLE ROYAL A six-man battle royal ushers in the 1946 professional wres tling season at Medford armory tomorrow night when Promoter Mack Lillard puts the cream of the crop now on the west coast in the squared circle. There will be approximately 1,000 pounds of human flesh in the ring at the same time as the behemothr square off in the melee at 8:30 p. m. Following the battle royal will be three regulation matches for three rounds or one fall each with pairings to be decided in order of elimination in the free-for-all. It is rarely that the mean- tempered participants will stick together during a battle royal and tomorrow night's go is ex pected to be no exception. Neither Pete Belcastro nor Jack Lipscomb trust each other and if they do team up, aren't ex pected to stick it out long. Earl Malone has not been in the ring with Belcastro or Lipscomb be fore but has heard enough about them that he probably will go it alone in his particular rough- house manner. Angelo Martlnelli, Gust John son, and Herb Parks, who keep their wrestling as clean as milk, probably will take advantage of the unfriendliness of the "meanies" by teaming up and administering a thorough beat Byron Nelson Shoots . Steady Golf To Cop Los Angeles Open Tourney Los Angeles, Jan. 8 (U.PJ Byron Nelson headed north for the San Francisco open today with $2,666 first money in his pocket from the Los Angeles open. Nelson so outdistanced the field it was almost "no con quest" in his winning yester day. The Toledo, O., salesman won with a 284 the highest winning score since 1935. His nearest competitor five strokes back was Ben Hogan, Hershcy, Pa., with a 289. Steady Gam Nelson played his usual steady game. He didn't get off any crowd-whooping drives, but always was down the middle; he didn't hit the pin with his approaches, but he always was on the green; and he sunk very few of those 20-foot putts, but he always was close. He put together scores 71-69-72-73 284 over the tricky Riviera Country Club course. There were a lot of 69s during the tournament, but only one score better the 68 compiled by Sammy Snead on opening day. Snead blew no yesterday, he took a 78, and finished In a tie for 10th place. Hogan's 289 paid $1,866.67 ing. Seldom In a battle royal are any of the toughies left when hostilities are over. First two eliminated will meet in the first regulation bout, next pair out will mix in the second match and the last couple left will tangle in the main event. and third place was split be tween Chandler Harper, Ports mouth, Va., Jimmy Demaret, Houston, Tex., and Jim Ferrier, Chicago, each with 290 and $1,111.11. Blaze Barns Hay At Santa Anita Arcadia, Cal., Jan. 8 U.R) A spectacular $50,000 blaze last night destroyed large stocks of hay and straw stored for Santa Anita's racing thoroughbreds and attracted hundreds of spec tators fearful for the safety of race horses stabled nearby. The barn in which the feed and bedding were stored was razed, but the horses stabled a quarter of a mile away were uninjured. The supplies com prised abojt 70 per cent of the racing stables' demands, Charles E. (Boots) Durness, owner, said. BASKETBALL By United Press Michigan State 49, Michigan 36. Minnesota 99, Indiana 48.

TO NCAA JOCKEY BURIED Arcadia, Calif., Jan. 8 (U.R) The racing fraternity turned out in force yesterday to pay a final tribute to Jockey George (Ice Man) Woolf, 36. "The kind of a guy who always gave you a Use Mall Tribune Want Ada. I "Look at i B Ml or Finger the He"? Which is the UAW-CIO really after? Is it seeking facts-or new economic power? Does it want to know things or run things? These questions concern you as well as General Motors. For years the facts about General Motors have been '' made public In spite of this, the UAW-CIO demands a chance to look at our books, with the hint that we could meet Union demands "if the truth were really known." We have firmly declined to recognize this as a basis for bargaining. 1 The Full Facts are Published How much General Motors takes in each year how much it pays employes how much it pays to stockholders how much it pays in taxes how much net profit we make and many other facts are plainly stated in annual reports and quarterly reports. These are broadcast to 425,000 stockholders from coast to coast sent to newspapers and libraries. Additional copies are free for the asking. All Figures are Thoroughly Checked Every General Motors Annual Statement is audited by outside auditors. Similar figures are filed with the Secur ities & Exchange Commission. Does the UAW-CIO honestly believe that General Motors would or could deceive these experts? 4 The Basis of Collective Bargaining Is Defined The Wagner Act lays down the rules for collective bar gaining. These cover such areas as rates of pay, hours of work, working conditions. No mention is made of earnings, prices, sales volume, taxes and the like. These are recognized as the problems of management. Something New has been Added The obvious fact is that the UAW-CIO has gone beyond its rights under the law and is reaching not for informa tion but for new power not for a look at past figures, but for the power to sit in on forecasting and planning the future. A "look at the books" is a clever catch phrase intended as an opening wedge whereby Unions hope to pry their way into the whole field of management. It leads surely to the day when Union bosses, under threat of strike, will demand the right to tell what we can make, when we can make it, where we can make it, and how much we must charge you all with an eye on what labor can take out of the business, rather than on the value that goes into the product. 5a This Threatens All Business If the Union can do this In the case of General Motors, it can do it to every business in this land of ours. Is this just imagination? Union spokesmen have said, "The Union has stated time after time that this issue is bigger than just an ordinary wage argument, that it is bigger than the Corporation and bigger than the Union." For Labor Unions to use the monopolistic power of their vast membership to extend the scope of wage negotiations to in clude more than wages, hours and working conditions is the first step toward handing the management of business over to the Union bosses. " We therefore reject the idea of a "look at the books" not becauso we have anything to hide but because the idea itself hides a threat to GM, to all business, and to you, the public. General Motors "MORE AND BETTER THINGS FOR MORE PEOPLE" St Louis, Jan. 8 (U.R) A showdown on Just how much schools under Jurisdiction of the National Collegiate Athletic As sociation can compensate ath letes was expected today to high light the annual convention of the body. Although no direct action may be taken, the matter is certain to come up in the executive ses sions of the meeting. In the past the association has acted as an advisory body, but because of the impending era of prosperity for college sports, it may be forced to take action. Policy Sought The association members range from the Eastren Ivy League group which recently took drastic steps to put football under stricter control and which specifically banned recruiting athletic scholarships, and other aspects of commercialization to the Southeastern C o n f e r e nee which openly pays scholarships to standout athletes. A number of delegates said they hoped that some sort of a standard policy for all sections of the country could be worked out by the N.C.A.A., but admit ted that it might take a long time to do such a job. A vigorous opponent of pro selyting, Dr. Arthur Holly Crompton, Washington univer sity chancellor and atom bomb scientist, may ask the colleges to take a stand against it when he addresses the executive coun cil dinner in a keynote speech to night.
