Di Benedetto, Seeking
Election, Devotes His
Life to Athletics
By the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla, Dec. 8.-If
Lawrence Benny Di Benedetto is
elected president of the Amateur
Athletic Union when its 51st an
nual convention closes here Sunday
afternoon. it will be the realization
of a dream he's had for years.
Part of that dream already has
come true, but under circumstances
no one would have wished for. In
October an auto accident cost the
life of Judge Samuel E. Hoyt, who
was in his second term as head of
the A. A. u, and Benny, as first
vice president, stepped into this
tragedy vacancy.
Devotes Life to Sport.
A member of the New Orleans
Playground Commission when it
first was created, long-term man.
ager of the city's parks and play
grounds and chairman of some Of
the A. A. us most vital commit
tees, Benny has devoted most Of
his So years to the promotion and
betterment of amateur sports. He
has been a leader in raising the
annual Sugar Bowl track meet to
national Importance, and those are
the sort of things likely to swing
the balance of voting power his way.
Before the delegates get around
to the business of electing new Of
flcers, however, they first must wade
through the usual accumulation of
other business.
Talk Pan-American Games.
The opening order of the day was
for committee meetings, some 80
or more, Chief of these involved
discussion by the legislation, execu-
tive and foreign relations groups
of the report of a special Pan-Amer.
ican Games Committee. This re-
port, it was said, would include a
proposal to stage some sort Of
games to replace the 1910 Olympics,
and another to put pan-American
"Olympics" on a permanent basis,
with competition every four years,
but in non-Olympic years-1942,

Griffith Blocks
Yankee Trades
In Own Loop
League Adopts Curb
On Flag Winner, but
Rejects Farm Check
BY a stafr corresnondent Of The star.

BY q staff Correspondent of The Star.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. 8.-They
laughed when 70-year-old Clark
Griffith sat down to unfold his list
of baseball reforms at this winter
meeting, but the Old Fox saved the
show from being grade A wash
out.
Not only did Griffith make the
first American League trade when
he sent Taft Wright and Pete
Appleton to Chicago in exchange for
Gerald Walker, but the president of
the Nationals also fired the first
gun toward checking the power of
the world champion Yankees.
BY a unanimous vote, Griffith's
plan to bar the pennant winner
from trading for or otherwise ac-
quiring player from another club,
except by waiver, was accepted by
American League club owners yes
terday. The National League fatty
turned down the proposition, as ex-
pected, but Griffith professed to see
possibilities.
Yanks Support Plan.
The Yankees, who in 1887 ac-
quired Bill Knickerbocker from the
Browns for an infield post position
and who last year got Pitcher Oral
Hilderbrand from the same club by
trade, repeatedly were dickering for
First Baseman George McQuinn of
st. Louis at the time the plan was
adopted.
This does not jibe with the unani-
nous vote, which included that Of
the Yankees, but nevertheless it
will prevent the DYankees from
reaching out and either trading for
or purchasing key player from an
other American League team in the
event Of injury of a regular.
Most Of the managers did not
think highly of Griffith's plan and
these included pilots of teams who
have been chasing the Yanks for
four years.
Farm Plan Is Shelved.
Grlfnth withdrew his plan to have
night ball played on all week days
during July and August after his
fellow clubowners beat him to the
punch by refusing to play more than
seven games season at night.
Another Griffith panacea-limit.
ing the farm systems of the bis
league clubs-was not brought to 8
vote. Instead, committee was ap.
pointed to investigate a painless
method Of reducing, or at least lin
iting, the farm clubs run by major
league clubs.
Griffith would not say whether he
would install lights for night ball
In Washington in 1910, but those
