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.

Use Mall Tribune Want Ada.
I "Look at i B
Ml

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.

"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
