PLAN BOND ISSUE

If authority is granted by the
taxpayers it is proposed that the
cost be raised by the issuance of
serial bonds. redeemable over a
period of 20 years with provision
for prior call. This would cost the
county 100000 annually at first,
decreasing TO slightly more than
S350,000 in later years, the letter
states.
The project would be county
financed because the city is now
unable to issue bonds.
while the expense of MAIN
tanning and operating such n
building would be substantial"
the letter states, "this cost
would be more than offset by
the estimated savings of annual
rental paid by the county and
by revenues from rental to be
paid by the City of Detroit"

brother, Sewell, being carried
from his Chicago plant by soldiers.

MANAGERS SIGN
new CONTRACTS

BOSTON, Aug. 80 -lR-Manag-
ers Joe Cronin of the Red Sox and
Bob Coleman of the Braves today
were resigned for three and two
years respectively.
Cronin, who has Diloted the
American leaguers here since 1885,
signed a new three-year contract
in owner Tom Yawkey's New York
office.
II feel satisfied with Cronin. des-
pite what various individuals say
or may say about his managerial
ability" Yawkey said after tender
ing his manager his third contract.
Crof1in signed for five-year terms
in 1885 and 1910, supposedly for
$25, 900 salary as player-manager.
During the current season, he has
appeared in the lineup frequently
as a first baseman or pinch-hit
ter.
Coleman, who succeeded Casey
Stengel during the past winter
had mis- contract extended through
the 1874 season after the Braves
pinned AZ victory over the New
York Giants.
The signing was announced by
President Bob Quinn after Coleman
was invited to sit in with the clubs
board of directors. which includes
Joe Nancy, Louis Perrin and G1ido
Rugo, all wealth Boston Contrac-
tors.
bob has done a fine job with
what he has had this season and
deserves another chance" one of
the directors explained and his col
leagues nodded agreement.
Yawkey indicated that no signi-
ficance was attached to limiting
Cronin's third contract to three
years. II expect when they are
up. I'll resign him again if he's
willing to stay on the owner ex
planned.
Neither Yawkey nor Cronin
would discuss the financial end of
their latest agreement but both
smiled when asked if it contained
salary boost.
"Just say I've been treated
spendidly again. Cronin advised.
1T certainly Is great to work for
fellows like Yawkey and Eddie Col
Inns (the clubs general manager),
who always are striving to make
the Red Sox the best club in base
ball. I certainly look forward with
pleasure to leading this club for
the next three years"
Since being purchased fro m
Washington for reputed $3.50, 900,
Cronin has seen his Red Seekers
finish second four times, twice in
fourth place and once each in fifth, |
sixth and seventh place.

Weiss of Pennsylvania urged that
this years game be staged in all
its pre-war glory. He argued that
a billion dollars worth Of wal
bonds could be sold at the game,
that both schools would get funds
needed for their sports programs
and the game would be a morale
builder.
There have been suggestions also
that it be staged in a big stadium
with the proceeds going to Army
and Navy relief.
Forrestal said the limitations
were imposed lin accordance with
the wartime necessity for eco
nomy."

The idea seems to be give the

NEW LEGAL PLAN
HEARD AT MEET

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Aug. 80
-lR-A plan to sign high school
athletes to collegiate contracts, as
binding and legal as those pre-
valent in organized baseball, was
adopted here today at a postwar
planning meeting of the southeast
ern conference, subject only to
final approval at the annual De-
cember meeting.
Heretofore, athletes were not
"sewed up until they actually had
participated in a contest. Under
the recommendation approved to-
day, they would become ineligible
to play at any other institution upon
signing the contract.
The contract, according to Secre-
tary W. D. Funkhouser of Ken
lucky, actually would be a legal
document, and parents or guar
dian Of the prospect, in cases of
minority, would be required to
sign the contract also. The docu-
ment would be binding on the
school so long as the student main
tanned his scolastic averages.
Agreement on policy involving

men who also receive aid under the
&c. I. Bill of Rights, "also was
under consideration at the meeting,
