the next 10 days to discuss changes

Schedule
Problem

Possible Encouragement Of the
schedule to provide for Parisclean's
inability to keep out-of-town en-
gagementS is one step the Michi-
gan-Ontario Hockey League may
take at next Mondays meeting OF
officials here prior to the Sched-
uled doubleheader at Olympia.
Another move is to play out the
schedule with Paris as a strictly
home team. There is also the
prospect of cutting short the
season and shutting up shop until
after the war when better ar
rangements can be made.
Parisclean players were told
yesterday that no pay increases
were possible until their ability
to play interesting hockey drew
bigger crowds TO the regular
doubleheaderS. A sharp decline
in attendance is believed due to
the patrons dissatisfaction with
the brand of game offered.
General Manager Fred Haner
of Olympia told the players that
every effort would be made to
provide for suitable practice Pc

CHICAGO. Jan. % INS) The
feud between Chicago's American
League White SoX and National

over the question Of where. if any

Apparently without consulting

since TIER own Wrigley Field is
not equipped for night baseball.
Cool 10 the proposal, the Sox
came back with a statement de-
claring they were ready to do any,
thing President Roosevelt asked,
but adding:
IF the government favOrs ex-

We will increase our own. Well

a masterful, eloquent tribute to
Louis and now it was time for
Joe to arise and accept the
plaques. One. for having done the
most for boxing during 1871 and
the other for having been voted
the outstanding fighter of the year
