GEAR NEW HEAD
 OF WESTERN LOOP

West Baden, Ind, Dec 2.- (UP)--Dale Gear has been re- elected president, secretary and treasurer of the Western league for Q twO.year term. Barney Burch of Omaha was reelected vice president for the same term.
 Johnny Butler, manager of the Denver Western league club last year, has be ennamed coach of the Chicago White S0x for next season. He formerly played with four major league clubs.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-12-02

The movement resulted from 8 meeting of club owners last night, termed by minor league leaders as the ''most important forward step taken in minor league history" z
 Milt l.. Anfenger, president of the Denver Western League Club, presided. All but two league pres- idents, J. Alvin Gardner of the Texas League and Dale Gear of the Western League were excluded from the session.
 Some New Ideas
 A resolution was adopted call- ing for a committee of three to appear before the national asso- citation meeting today and present the suggestions made at last nights session.
 These suggestions, briefly are: CD retirement of M. H. Sexton, present president of the national association, and the appointment of a committee to investigate minor league problems, with the power to act and with the author ity to spend a maximum budget each year.
 CD Rehabilitation of the pres- ent minor leagues.
 (3) Promotional work for the advancement of baseball.
 The committee to present the resolution is composed of Warren Giles, president of the Rochester International League Club, Homer H. Hammond, president of the San Antonio Texas League Club, and Charles Graham, vice-president of the San Francisco Pacific Coast League Club.
 One of the driving forces be- hind the preliminary action was Branch Hickey, vice-president of the St Louis Cardinals which con- trol nine minor league clubs and have $1,500,000 invested in minor league organizations.
 Speaks His Piece
 Hickey outlined the evils of minor league baseball as follows:
 CD Lack of application of good business methods.
 (2) Failure to market the en- tertainment acceptably to the pub- lie.
 (3) Failure of the machinery of baseball's upper strata to meet quickly and effectively the need of the smaller minors.
 (4) Failure of the majors to recognize distress here and there that exists in the minors.
 (5) Perhaps a breakdown in the system of the organization of the national association itself which has not been efficient in meeting the minors problems.
 Big Investment
 T am amazed that baseball has endured in spite of it's mismanage- ment," Hickey said. "The secre- tary of the national association has estimated that $21.000,000 is invested in minor league baseball and yet we have the utter stiffness to employ an executive head at $5,000 a year."
 Hickey said that the major league structure was threatened as soon as the minors passed out of existence and predicted unless inn mediate action was taken only Il of the 16 existing minor leagues, which have dwindled from 52 in the past 1s years, would answer the roll call next year.

BOOTHS ILLNESS
 STOPS PLANS FOR
 HIS JUNE WEDDING

Wailingford, Conn, Dec 2-(UP) |-Albie Booth entered the regiment of sanatorium existence to-day, de- termined to win back health in the soothing calm of the Gaylord Farms Sanatorium.
 It was boring for the dynamic little Yale halfback to have to re- main in bed in a fresh air pavilion all day long with nothing but radio, light reading or conversation with his ward mates for Advertisement, but fellow sufferers found his coming the most thrilling event in their hum-drum hospital existence.
 Taking It Easy
 Doctors had to caution them against exciting Booth or them selves by too much discussion, for complete rest is essential in the treatment of those suffering from lung ailments.
 Booth, suffering from pleurisy. which often develops into a more serious lung infection, was brought here from New Haven hospital yes- terday afternoon in an ambulance which sped over the nine miles of state road in IS minutes.
 Plans
 Dr David s. Lyman, eminent au- thority on lung disorders, who IS head of the institution, said he would be kept under close observa- ton in the main pavilion with about a dozen other patients un- til he is well on the road to recov- cry. After that he may be trans- ferred to one of the little cottages which dot the hill on which the sanatorium is located.
 Albie will be permitted to re- ceive his parents and his fiancee, Miss Marion Noble, infrequently. He was to have been married to Miss Noble after graduation next June, but marriage. like ath- letics and graduation, apparently is out of the question for some time.

NEW STORAGE BILL
OFFERED IN HOUSE
Farmers Union Proposal Would
Place Two State Agencies
in Competition

Creation Of a new farm storage &C.
is proposed in a measure introduced
by Representatives William Crockett
Of Cavalier and G. H. Morgan OF
Richland county in the house We'd
nesday.
The bill is sponsored by the Farm
ers' Union and has been favorably
commented on by Governor F. Shafer,
Crockett said. No provision is made
in 1t, however, to repeal the present
farm storage act. Should it pass
farmers would have the option OF two
different kinds of state farm storage,
Crockett said.
The purpose. Crockett said, Is to
reduce the cost of storing grain Oh
farms, which now is about 18 or 19
cents per bushel. This bill, In elimi-
mating certain bonding requirements
and officials, would reduce by one
half the present cost. Administration
of the act would be made by the state
railroad commission.
A weight and measure bill which
caused dissension between l.. l..
Twichell, I. v. A. leader, and E. p.
Bishop and Fred E. Mau, also I. v.
AS, was referred back to committee
for further consideration. In COM
mittee of the whole Bishop and Mau
objected to the rates which it is pro-
posed to charge for the inspection Of
gasoline pumps.
Bishop and Mau were confident
they had lined up enough votes to
defeat the majority leader when
Twichell asked that the bill be re-
turned to his committee.
