Russ J. Cowans'
Sport Chatter

Dissatisfied with conditions in
the Negro American and Negro
National leagues, number OF
owners will pull out and join a
new league which is now in the
making. This was learned last
week following talk with one Of
the moguls.
Talk OF a third league has been
heard since the middle Of the past
season. However. there was MOTH
ing definite about the proposed
league.
In the talk last week the owner
said that there is much dissstiS-
faction on the part Of some Of
the owners. and as result of this
dissatisfaction, one or more will
pull out and join the new league
which will be organized.
Accordingto present plans. the
new league will include Detroit,
a city which has been barred by
the Negro American league. not
withstanding the fact that IL is the
best baseball city in the country.
This is illustrated in the crowds
which attended the double-headers
at Briggs Stadium last summer,
crowds larger than for any game
other than the East-West game in
Chicago.
