This convention developed into a
free-for-all over the troublesome
microphone just as soon as the first
gavels dropped at the steering COM
mittee meetings on Monday.
We're right where we started on
this broadcasting business" said
President William Harridge of the
American League, land it looks like
plenty of fireworks Thursday
John Heydler, National League
prexy, confessed that his circuit
likewise was deadlocked.
Seek Attendance Boost
Owners faced with diminishing
attendance proposed that broad
casting of regular seasonal games
at ball parks be abolished in an
effort to force fans to enjoy the
games at the parks rather than in
their parlors.
The majority of club owners
seem to favor the ban. The strong
minority Of die hards" are fight
ing so robustly that the proposal
probably will die violent death at
Thursdays meeting. This minor
ity claims that the radio creates
new fans.
The National League magnates
battled over broadcasting during
most Of their six and one half-hour
session Tuesday, after which a test
vote showed five clubs favoring abo-
lition of radio and three clubs which
declined 70 vote
Two Favor Radio
Chicago and Boston, strong sup
porterS, declined to ballot. and
Brooklyn, although opposed to ra-
dlo, did likewise, because Dodger
officials didn't care to take the posi-
ton of debating to other clubs"
The American League didn't re-
veal the result Of its test vote.
Both leagues voted separately to
move forward the 23-player limit
from June Is to May Is, and the
Shift is expected to be carried au-
tomatically at Thursdays meeting.
This move will save one months
salary on about seventeen players
for each club.
Heydler Takes "Cut"
President Heydler, who was re-
elected for a four-year term, set an
example in economy by requesting
that his salary be reduced. His re-
quest was granted.
otherwise, it was the feeling of
both leagues that the reduction of
operating costs was a problem to be
met by the individual clubs, rather
than by any concerted league ac-
ton.

find It more amusing than awful
] don't imagine it means a great
deal to the Babe herself and it
serves to emphasize anew the
absurdity of organized amateurism.
The Babe will be just as great
as a professional as she ever was
an amateur and she has repeatedly
said that when the proper time
comes she will be ready to listen
to the lure of the box office. 1t
seems that the time merely came
sooner than she expected Or cared
for it.
1 heard some months ago that
the promoters wanted Babe to join
out with a circus and race a white
horse around the big tent at
matinee and evening performances.
This would have been exciting. And
it probably would have sold more
white horses than the endorsement
will sell automobiles.
l realize that this does not make
sense but then very few things in
connection with the conduct of
amateur sport make sense, either.
Of course, the vital consideration
here is: "Was the Babe given the
works?"
From the standpoint of her con-,
tributions to track and field and
the insigniticance of her offense, she
was.
TINE Babe wanted to retain her
Il amateur status-or purity as
1t is so whimsically phrased by the
A. A. U. until spring at least. She
wanted to play basketball on her
home town team during the winter.
That seemed little enough to ask

Lefty her exploits brought the or

That's the trouble with the A. A.
U. and amateuriSm-the rules. Some
Of them are cock-eyed and most of
them are unnecessary. More than
that, they all bend easily. A shrewd
amateur can get around them and
make fair sort of living out of
sports. The real indictment against
the Babe seems TO be that she
lacked cunning.

ism go to fanatical lengths to keep
their brood clean behind the ears.
Only to them is this a matter of

1t is my notion that the Babe would
be enthusiastically welcomed back
to any track and field meet she
cared to enter next summer.
