"We can't just sit around and be left waiting on Oct. 1 if Wal ter O'Malley makes announce ment that Brooklyn is drafting the Los Angeles territory," PCL President Leslie O Connor told the press following the closed meeting. Indemnities Discussed O'Connor said the league di rectors discussed tentatively the indemnities the coast league would want if the major league clubs moved into the big cities.

That approval caused Hel- fand's announcement today of a letter to Floyd Stevens, presi dent of the National Boxing as sociation. Helfand, chairman of the New York State Athletic commission and president of the World Championship Boxing committee, said in his letter: Defiance Noted "It would seem to me that the NBA should immediately no tify the Washington commission that if it permits this contest to be held in defiance of your order that it should be expelled as a member of the NBA. "I believe, too, that they should be warned that in addi tion to expulsion, that the NBA would issue an. order prohibiting all NBA boxers from competing in the state of Washington," Hel fand wrote.
