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. What was that, about
strong backs and weak minds?

the onetime world heavyweight
champ told newsmen yesterday.
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.
Dempsey failed to scratch any
of his previous selections.
