the only way the owners can change
his mind is by amending their con-
stitution. The constitution can be
amended only at a regular league
meeting or at special session. Only
Layden can call special meeting,
and the amendment can be made
only by unanimous consent of the
owners.
In but one instance has the league
an opportunity to question decision
that Commissioner Layden might
make. The leagues executive COM
mittee is granted the right to audit
his books.
However, it should be borne in
mind that Elmer is also chairman of
this committee.
Kenesaw Mountain Lands, COM
missioner of baseball, usually is con-
sidered dictator But his powers
more or less are limited to admin
istering baseball laws. Layden has
the authority to administer laws;
also he can make them.
Final Authority
Under the new constitution, Lay
den has the right to discipline any
person connected with the league. If,
in his opinion, the conduct of any
person or club is detrimental to the
game. he may levy fine up to
$4,000. In the event any club re-
fuses to pay the assessment, he can
step in and take over the club.
He is the final authority in all dis
putes arising between player and
coach.
That's hardly the beginning of his
authority. The annual championship
playoff will be under his complete
control. He can specify the prices
to be charged and when and where
the game is to be played. Every
contract for the broadcast of league
games will include clause giving
him complete charge over all radio
announcers who work the games.
Enlarged Domain
1t is very probable that at least
two minor leagues, the Dixie and the
American association, and possibly
more, will act to grant Layden SINH
lar authority over their destinies.
He has the authority to enter into
working agreements with these
leagues, or any other which meet
his requirements, on any basis
which does not entail financial obi
cations to the National league.
His budget has no stipulated limit.
The treasurer, Dennis J. Shea Of
Brooklyn, elected to q three-year
term, cannot pay bill without Lay
denis approval.
In giving the genial former Notre
Dame coach supreme power over
the league, team owners showed
amazingly good foresight. The fu-
ture of the game now is in the hands
Of a man who has shown himself fully
capable and eminently qualified.
One Of the greatest modern foot
ball strategists, 37-year-Old Elmer
Layden is much more than q foot
ball coach. He is a born leader Of
men. He will not abuse the dicta-
tOrial powers given him.
That professional football win be
an honest game is practically q Ger.
tainty. Layden is an honest man.

Billed
Measure Proposes
Canoe citation Of
Ship Restrictions

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.
tUP)-Sen. Kenneth Nickel
lar, d., Tenn, today intro
duced d bill to repeal the neu-
trality act, which he termed
mistake
McKellar told the senate he had
TWO chief reasons for seeking repeal
Of the law:
We made a mistake in passing
the law. as it has done US no good
and merely cluttered up a situation
that was already bad.
1t is indirect conflict with our
age old policy of freedom of the
seas which We have pursued for
more than 100 years and for which
we fought two wars
This was the. first bill to be in
trCGuced in congress bearing on
the administration imminent CAM
paign to repeal or modify the neu-
trality act SO that American mer-
chant ships can be armed and, per-
haps, can carry war cargoeS directly
tc the British Isles.
Mcclellan. speaking only briefly
on his bill. also contended that the
law has been adhered to in the
Atlantic and disregarded in the
Pacific. He apparently referred to
the United States government s
failure to invoke the act in the
conflict between Japan and China.
Disregard of a law on the statute
books is bad for a nation, Mcclellan
cortended, drawing an analogy with
the prohibition statute which
eventual" was repealed.
Besides he said, by retaining
the law we are indirectly consenting
tc Germanys claim that she con-
trolls a part of the Atlantic ocean" "
Sen. Styles Bridges, r., N. H.
recalled that he was one of six Re-
publican senators who opposed en-
actment of the neutrality statute.
He still feels it was a mistake, he
said.

NAZI CLAIMS DENY
The Soviet information issued a
formal denial of Nazi claims that

ships have been sunk or damaged

instead, that IA German warships

The British reported that a Ger

detached from the main Nazi drive
in the Ukraine to attack the narrow
land gateway which attaches the
Crimean peninsula TO the Russian

Berlin reported that squadrons
