|2 GAME SERIES MAY BE CUT TO
 AID U. s. TRAVEL
American Loop Idea; Minor Leagues Face Tough
 Year; Ask No FavOrs

Chicago, Dec. 2.-(up)-Ellmlna- ton of two game series in mid.sea- son and late in the campaign was proposed by the American league today as 0 means of curtailing travel in compliance with a recent request by transportation director Joseph D. Eastman.
 The plan probably will result in cancellation of one visit by clubs like the Chicago White Sox and the St. Louis Browns to rival cities in the western half of the league, Cleveland and Detroit.
 Individual clubs reported that commitments already had been made for their spring training trips, but that the exhibition schedules would be cut to eliminate "side trius" to distant cities
 While not cited as reason for abandonment of basehall's greatest wartime innovation, the contest which pitted the major league All. Star game winner against Q selected team of players from army camps and navy stations, the travel prob- lem may have entered into the de- cision.

single wing attack and despite the criticism kept drilling his team in fundamentals. explaining:
 "I'd rather have my team master five plays until they know them backwards than drill them on a lot of fancy stuff that they don't know too we'll"
 Scouts Impressed
 Injuries added to his woes. Week after week he was forced to Use patched up lineupS because key backs or linemen were out. But scouts who saw Holy Cross play kept saying that team had possibilities and that probably one day would start clicking.
 That day came last Saturday
 "The same plays that we were using all season won for us." Scan- Ian said. The boys showed there is no substitute for good sound funda- mentals."
 Besides satisfying his professional critics, Scanlan has to satisfy his football-conscious family of four children. His eldest son. Michael. who has been on football field since he was old enough to toddle. finally admitted his dads team was good after 1t licked Temple in Phil adelphia before the whole family.
 Amazingly frank. football writers regard him as the most truthful coach they ever have interviewed. Scanlan doesn't like to lose. but he isn't a grumbler in defeat and he always can find something to praise his team about.

 Minor league baseball, facing its greatest crisis in a decade, opened It's annual convention today.
 Twenty -six minor leagues were in operation at the end of the l942 campaign. Theoretically all still are in existence, but less than half ex- pect to be functioning next spring.
 Looks ''Dark"
 Judge ". c. Bramham, president of the National Association of Pro- fessional Baseball leagues, govern- ing body of the minors, admitted that the war-time future of base balls little fellows" was extremely dark.
 i've seen the forecasts that only 10 or l2 of our minor leagues will operate" Bramhan said, but that's mere speculation. Nobody can know for sure until they've each held their annual meetings and decided on what they want to do and can do"
 'The clubs are obligated to post one-half of their monthly player salary total as a guarantee fund at the conclusion of their annual meet ing and by March i must file all their player contra ctS. It won't be until the deadline for meeting those two obligations that we know ex- actly where we stand.
 "The military draft of l8 and l9 year old boys and the transportation difficulties make the position of many minor leagues precarious We're not complaining, however. We're willing to do all we can to aid the war effort"
 He said it had been suggested that he go to Washington and appeal to the government for concessions.
 Ask No FavOrs
 Let me state emphatically, he said, that we'll adopt no such course. We'll ask no concessions in any form from the government"
 Bramham said he was opposed to the wholesale signing of players be- low the l8-year-old level or old timers above the 45 age bracket.
 One likely important move would breeze" territorial rights of clubs in leagues which diSband for the duration. A suggestion by the South Atlantic (Sally)) league that the contracts of players on clubs that fold be frozen" probably will be defeated.
 The American and National leagues ended their separate sessions yesterday. They hold joint meet. ing with Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis presiding, today.
 Since the two leagues split on the number of night games they will permit. LandiS vii least the deciding vote. The National voted for 6 maximum of seven, while the Ameri- can agred to permit l4 in all cities except Washington where 2S could be played.
 Both leagues voted yesterday to reduce travel mileage as much as possible.
