CHICAGO, April 2.-The National
Pro Football League likely will re-
model it's structure on baseball
basis" this week end.
Circuit club owners, at an annual
session opening tomorrow and
running through Sunday, formally
will induct Elmer Layden as the
leagues first commissioner. And
the owners probably will act favor
ably on a petition which would bring
the American Pro League under
Layden's supervision and give pro-
fessional football a setup similar to
that under which Kenesaw Noun
tain Lands rules organized baseball.
May Abolish Storck's Job.
The league. at its executive session
Friday, may abolish the office of
president, Allied for the last two sea-
sons by Carl Storck. Regardless of
what action Is taken on this ques-
ton, however, it is reported reliably
that even should Storck be retained
Layden will be the No. / man in the
pro picture.
The American Association, made
up Of clubs at Newark, Paterson,
Jersey City, N. j.; Providence. r. l.;
Wilmington, Del, and Long Island,
N. Y, has asked to be taken into
the National League setup under
Layden's supervision. Should this
be done the National League may
work out plans whereby those minor
league clubs would receive player
and monetary support from the Ma
tional League teams. The American
Association president is Joseph
Rosentover Of Clifton, N. j.
There Is no chance now that the
American League will affiliate with
the National League for the rea-
son that the circuits are at odds
over territorial rights.
The retention or abolition OF
Storcks position, the term for which
expires this week end, may result
in a battle, for his regime has been
stormy. Some months ago he did
not attend a meeting here to select
q league commissioner, a post which
Layden accepted on five-year con-
tract calling for 100000.

the Earle beginning July 81, critics
picked up an anecdote or two.
This visitors favorite had to do
with the first meeting of Margaret
Wycherly, who plays his mother in
the picture, and Gary Cooper. Miss
Wycherly's first scene with Cooper
was that In which she. an angry
parent, douses him with a bucket
of cold water to shock him out of
his drunkenness.
The scene was all set. Miss
Wycherly picked up the bucket,
Cooper walked through the door.
Instead of dousing him, however,
Miss Wycherly suddenly set down
the pail. walked over to Cooper,
stuck out her hand and remarked:
Mr.. Cooper l presume
They had never met and she, be-
ing proper English actress did not
think it right to douse cold water
on a man she didn't even know.
If Schrafs won't get angry and
throw a bucket of water on us, we
could also tell the one about the
typical mountain family which
Warmers took to New York as
promotion stunt in connection with
the picture.
Among the various spots on the
agenda Of the family, neighbors of
Sergt. Alvin York in Tennessee, was

Schraffts turned out to be much

guests happy, insisted upon showing
them what Schrafft's could do when

Just ask for anything" our man
said she said. Well have it."
The family was not very co-opera-

allowed that he would like a piece

thing Schrafft's didn't have at the
moment.
