secretary Of the Religious Liberty
Association, declared in an address
before the Potomac conference Of

Longacrs urged the inauguration
OF a new campaign Of opposition
against the five Sunday bills for

are now awaiting the re-convening
OF Congress.
Advocates Of Sunday legislation

acre declared, that they will resort
to crueIties similar to the cruel
ties on dissenters in the Dark
Ages in order to enforce the blue
laws.
'"The greatest religious contro-

the nation developed in connection
with these Sunday law hearings,

AMERICAN LEAGUE
 SEEKING PITCHERS
Annual Meeting of Junior Base ball Organization Opens Today

Chicago, Dec. 14.-fPl-A man. ager with a corps of high class pitchers to sell probably could make fortune at the gathering of Ameri- can league pilots and club owners opening today Virtually every man. ager here admits he could use de- peudable tosser.
 The prosaic business of tho league presidents today and tomorrow was little more than a stage setting. with the machinations of the managers having spotlight attention. Virtually all the league chiefs had before them was the perfunctory awarding of the 1926 pennant to the New York Yankees. selection of an um- pire to succeed George Moriarity, now manager of the Detroit Tigers, decision on the length of the league schedule and selection Of new board of directors.
 American league sentiment favors
 
 the long season, President Ban Johnson has felt in the past that baseball should be out of the way for football. but he now is ready to fall In with the general opinion that the season should run into October, to enable completion of the schedule without cluster of late double headers.
 Five new managers are hoping to obtain here the talent they need for the 1927 canfpaign.
 George Moriarity, Ty Cobb's sue cessor at Detroit. said he would take 19 pitchers south next spring. Of the quintet of new team leaders. Moriar- fly apparently has the least player worries, unlike the Cleveland h. dians, who find hole in centerfield because of Iris Speakers departure, the Tigers are well satisfied with their outfield. Cobb. like Speaker. was centerfielder. but he prepared against his departure by grooming a successor, whereas the Grey Eagle of the Indians left a gap which the new manager. Jack McAllester, ad- mits he is hard pressed to fill.
 Dan Howley, Of the St. Louis Browns, spent considerable time yesterday with Miller Huggins of the Yankees. Howley has said he would keep George Sislor, but there ere reports that Marty McManus may be traded. Higgins wants good pitcher.
 Ray Schalk, in his first attempt at managing the White SoX, seeks second baseman to replace Eddie Collins, who. the gossip strongly in- dicated today, will start next season as Connie Mack's aide at Philadel- phia.

Leaaue Standing

Tonight's play in the Industrial basketball league at the Y. NJ. c. A, gymnasium. will bring together four teams which will battle in two games for victory. The first game will bring together the Stanley Works and the Corbin Screw teams while the second will see the Stan ley Rule X Level team fighting 10 win it's second consecutive game at the expense of tho Landers' quintet,
 The Buttmakers have been show ing fine defensive game and now. under the tutelage of the veteran, Jack Pelletier. the team is devlop- ing an offnsive which is being counted on to sweep the Corbin Screw team off it's feet In the last encounter between the two, the Corbin Screw quintet came out vic- torious but only after a hard battle.
 The Screw shop team might bs handicapped tonight by the absence of its captain, Andy Yacobowicz, star forward. He has been suffers ing from an injured hand but at tho latest report, he was about ready to jump into the game again and he may take his place in the lineup to- night. He is the star of the team and in all the games so far, has been the heavy scoring ace.
 The Stanley Rule & Level team won its first game last Thursday night. In meeting. Landers tonight in the second game of the evening, the Rulers will be faced by a fight, ing bunch of basketballers who are tired of being on the losing end. This should be battle of battles in the league though neither team is yet within striking distance of the leadership.
 The Landers team has been putt ting in some stiff practice sessions and will be strong on both the of- fense and defense tonight Ths Rule Shop is expected to present the same strong lineup tonight that it had when 1t won It's first game last week and with Sloman in the game, the team is stronger now than 1t has been since 1t started.
 Dick Dillon will referee both con- tests the first of which will start promptly at o'clock.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
 MEETING SERENE
Bidding for Players Promises Only Excitement at Gathering

New York, Dec, 14.-IPi-Screnity marked the gathering of baseball magnates of the National league. here today for their annual meeting at the Waldorf-A storia. bidding for players on the auction block alone seemed destined to break the even trend of the gathering.
 After the two-day session, dupli- cate of the American league meeting in Chicago, both leagues will gather Thursday in the mid-western city for their joint assembly.
 Chief business before the base ball heads. aside from the eection of Commissioner Landis to a seven year term, which seems assured later in the week at Chicago, con- sisted of drafting a playing sched- ule for the coming year.
 The National league, already pledged to longer season, appears certain to decide to name the first week In in October as the closing date in 1927. The season ended the last week in September thls year. Commissioner Landis is said to favor the prolongation. after the short season failed to bring about an earlier date for the world series. Only one club completed the sched- ule on time.
 The National league magnates. said to oppose any increase in Con- missioner Landis' salary from $5O,- GOO to s6o,ooo. Also may take steps today to have him increase the use- fitness of the advisory council of the major leagues, which has functioned but rarely in the past few years.
 Today's session was slated to get under way at 1 D. m., while the gath ering tomorrow takes place at 10:30 in the morning to allow the mag mates to catch train for Chicaio.
 Not a single deal in players was known to have been completed be- fore the meeting.
 Bill Terry, first. baseman of the Giants, was said to be slated for the Boston Braves in exchange for Joe Genewich. star young pitcher. but 1,o definite arrangement had been made. Dave Bancroft. manager of the Braves. said he had heard the rumor." and sure, I'll swap" but that he doubted Manager McGraw of Giants would be interested. The Braves would like two infielders and catcher from Santa Claus, Ban croft said.
 Donie Bush, Pittsburg's new man. ager, seeks a pitcher, infielder. and utility outfielder. despite the asser- ton of his boss, Barney Dreyfuss, that he had nothing to buy and nothing to sell" Hal Rhyme will play second base regularly next season, Dreyfuss said.
 Manager Robinson of Brooklyn has both his veteran outfielder, Zach Wheat, and Burleigh Grimes, pitcher, on the block but their high salaries, rather than the price tag, are believed to be hindering nego- tiations.
 Aanother new pilot, Stuffy McIn- his, at Philadelphia, seeks & whole new team, he said, but would ba content with two infielders, twd pitchers, and an outfielder.

The attitude of the New Jersey boxing commission was made known yesterday by Platt Adams. a member of the body.
 Although Rosenberg recently fought Georgia Mack. q brother of Petie, in the same ring at the .fer sey City armory where the Decem- Der 2o bouts are scheduled, Adams explained that the match was a 'henefit affair."" To permit Rosen- bcrg's appearance in the Christmas fund show also, would be an "abusc of the privilege Adams said. Jack Delaney, light Heavyweight cham pion, meets Bud German, Wiscon- sins heavyweight, in the feature bout of the show.
 The bantamwcight champion is under suspension in Illinois for life, along with his manager, for failure to meet Bud Taylor Of Tcrre Haute, Ind. in a title bout this fall. Rosen bcrg's title was declared forfeited and given to Taylov by the Illinois authorities.
 The New Jersey boxing body has a working agreement with the lii rois commission and is member of the National boxing association, which concurred in the decision to bar Rosenberg.
