"Sharkey belongs in that list, Sports tfSA Briefs & Br Hugh Fullerton, Jr. By HUGH FULLERTON Jr. NEW YORK, March 1 (IP) ' The minor league threat of "re volt" which probably is just a threat unless they share in naming the new baseball com missioner brings up the ques tion of why they have two sep arate and often conflicting or- mnizations running baseball. Why not just one? . . . Under the chain system, the same men oDerate bis and little clubs. , . . The big minors probably are more closely related to me ma jors than to the class "D" cir cuits, but they're outvoted in their own group and separated from the big leagues by a bar rier they can't penetrate. ... A year ago the "AA" circuits pro posed a change In voting power within the National association but couldn't put it over. , . . The same thing might happen to any other proposed change, but now, with a new major-minor agree ment coming up and baseball in general at a low ebb, would be the logical time to revise the setup. ' SPORTS BEFORE YOUR EYES Willie Joyce, who will pick up a nice piece of change by fighting Ike Williams tomor row, once was sold for $300 by Jzzy Kline. ... In high school :at Gary, Ind., Willie used to be a pitcher and hurdler. He could cause lots of confusion if he re verted to those sports in the ring. . . . George Strickler fig ures that 51.5 per cent of the men on the National Football league's service roster are com missioned officers and' 58.8 per cent of the officers were line men.

Dempsey's list of the ten best was given to Russ Newland of the Associated Press before he left California yesterday on a four-to six-month tour of coast guard bases and ships which may take him as lar as innia. Omission of Sharkey's name annoyed Johnny Buckley, mtm- ager of Sharkey, who now is his partner in a Boston tavern. The addition of Sharkey will make the list 11 names long.
