NEW YORK, Aug. 9-R-Prs
football seems to be suffering from
growing pains, and it is to be hoped
it comes through them as happily
as did the malor baseball leagues
The current ache involves the
question of whether or not Dear
McAdams, a haifback, signed 8
contract with the Seattle club Of
the new west coast American
league while still the property Of
the Washington Redskins of the Ma
tional league.
Regardless of the merits or de-
merits of this case, it gives clue
to what might happen through toe
sudden expansion and cut-throa..
thics-be-darned attitude toward
the signing of athletes.
The National league, firmly es-
tabished and with corner on the
name players currently available,
naturally woj.ld resent any lamp
ering with its signed and sealed
performers. and its rules provide
stern punishment for any guilty
patries.
This puts the new coast organiZa-
ton in 1atf er tough spot, since,
unless, it Can make contact with
returned servicemen who have no
bro league affiliations before the
National league clubs get around to
it, and can offer proper financial
inducements, it must be content
with the scrapings of the bin.
However, the west COAST group,
possibly resenting the self-appoint-
ed authority of the older circuit,
defying the National league. In
such a case it would feel no qualms
about approaching players under
contract to National league teams
and offering them more juicy
terms. And if the players were
convinced the new league was
sound and would provide steady
employment for the duration Of
their playing careers they might
unshift their loyalty. 1t might be a
outlaw league so far as the Ma
tional league was concerned, but
the money would be inlaw, you
might say.
The American baseball league
was founded in much the same
manner. Proceeding under the
theory that star players were more
important from the gate standpoint
that well-balanced, starless teams
the American league clubs raided
the National league, Turing away
stars so that the new clubs would
have two or three name players
In their lineups, even If the rest
of the lineups were made up of
guys named Gus.
The American league prospered
and forced the recognition of the
National Whether or not the west
coast football league could use the
same methods and force recogni-
ton is problematical. Aside from
the player angle, there is no con-

SPORTS TRAIL

Iflict since at least for the present
there is no territory infringement
In normal times a league sucf
as the west coast circuit might be
organized and start with a wallol
with no help from National league
PLAYERS, because it could grab
fresh college stars while their rep
utations still were ripe. Right now
the colleges are fresh out of stars
so the forming Of a new league has
it's problems. ~

The size of the task, Miss Perkins

Expect Showdown
In Word Co. Case
Company Refuses To Ex-
tend Contract Pend
ing Negotiations

Chicago (FP)-ThS city is looking
| for the first hpad-on collision of union
ism and open Shoppery during the war
period if United Retail Wholesale K
Dept. Store Employees (CIO) reaches
The end of its hopes of forcing Mont
gOmeryWard To abide by the Wagner
Act.
International President Samuel VOL
chok and Vice President Leonard Levy
have been trying to get the National
War Labor Board to enforce its direc-
tive ordering the huge mail order
house to extend its contract pending
negotiation of Il new contract.
Before the NLRB the union eXecu-
tiyeS are trying TO get certitcation of
the Ward local representing 1000
workers.
In the meantime Ward has fired
union shop stewards, denoted and re-
classified hundreds of active union
lists, has refused to listen to griev-
ances. to check off dues or to comply
with WLB directivcS.
Dozens of other UWRE locals in
Ward stores and warehouses through
out the country are meeting similar
Stonewall opposition from the com
pany, which is headed by Scweil
Avery. described by Ward local of
ticcrs as "Ehicago'S No. | fascist
Ward agreed 80 recognize the union
Il year ago only when President RooSe-
Welt bad used his powers as comman-
der-in-chief. When the contract eX
pirCd i'm December the firm refused to
negotiate Il new contract, claiming
that the union did not represent Il ma
jori1y of its employees.
According to Levy, midwest director
for the union, the Ward tactic is 10
force the union into an election each
year, to rake advantage of the delays
of labor board action and to wear out
the union.
I'VE hope the WLB and the NLRB
will have nerve enough to stand up to
Sewell Avery and force him to abide
by the law of the land,' Levy said. "If
that does not happen, the union will
have to take steps TO preserve its in
tegrity.'
