OPERATE CLUB
IN BUFFALO, n. y.
Kate Smith and Ted Col
Inns Also Interested in
Football Franchise
By TOMMY DEVINE
United Press Staff Correspondent

UnIUeu russ SVdH Correspondent
Chicago, June 17.-CUP)-Three
prospects bobbed up today with
franchise inquiries which might
help the National Professional Foot
ball League solve its wartime mem
bership headaches.
They were radio and screen stal
Don Ameche; Ted Collins, manager
of Kate Smith; and Arthur H. Ehl-
erS, president of the Interstate
Baseball League.
Ameche, Collins and Ehlers in
formed league President Elmer Lay
denden they were interested in the
operation of franchises for the 1943
campaign. Layden told them the
leagues executive committee would
consider their cases If full outlines
were submitted of their organiza-
ton plans, financial backing and
deposits posted. They we're asked to
send representatives to meeting
here Saturday and Sunday.
Big Help
The franchise inquiries we're of
immediate concern to Layden be-
cause the formation of new clubs
would provide a "shot in the arm"
to the league, which lost Cleveland
in April, and now faces the merger
of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
Much more tangible, however, was
the formal application for fran
chise in Boston latter the war"
made by Frank E. Mandel, Chicago
investment broker.
Mandel, member of the Illinois
racing commission and a former
member of the board of directors OF
the Detroit Lions, is serving as
spokesman for a group of Boston
sportsmen. His application was ac-
companied by certified check for
5000, which represents one-hali
the price of a new franchise.
Ameche named Buffalo, N. Y, as
probabl site of operations If he is
granted franchise. Ameche is on
location at Santa Rosa, Cal. but in
dictated he would have represen-
tative at this week-end'S league
sessions.
Collins, former owner of the Long
Island, N. Y. football team of thu
American Association, has dabbled
in professional sports on several
occasions. He and Miss Smith once
controlled the New York Celtics
basketball team.
Collins purportedly was an I'M
successful bidder for the suspended
Cleveland Rams franchise last
spring.
Ehlers is said to be acting for
group of Baltimore sportsmen.
