Louder Voice Wanted
BY Smaller Circuits
In Running Game
BY JIMMY JORDAN,

| 8ASoSSAovCA ACeo ohoitS WAAtSIs
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Minor league
baseball, kicked around" more or
less by the majors for years, is
ready to stand on its own feet and
assert itself.
The smaller leagues, from Glass
AA down to nonoperative. but still
"alive" Glass D circuits, will take
the first step in that direction to-
day when a 10-man committee
meets here to make recommends
tions for revision of the major
minor agreement.
Among the proposals expected to
be offered in revision of the agree
ment which expires next January
are:
l. Greater self-government.
2. Guarantees against postwar
major league expansion.
3. A voice in selection of a COM
missioner to succeed the late Kene-
saw Mountain Lands.
4. Increase in the draft price,
which now is $500 for a Glass AA
iplayer.
Pact Vote Due in December.
Tommy Richardson, president of
the Eastern League and chairman
Of the committee, said no formal
proposals for changes had been re-
ceived and added that his group
merely will sift the proposals ex-
pected during the three-day meet
ing here and make recommended
tions which will be acted upon at
the December meeting of the Ma
tional Association.
Several leagues were interested in
having the new ma ajor- minor agree
ment include guarantees against
major league expansion because of
the probability postwar air travel
will make it possible for teams from
coast to coast and border to border
to compete on league basis.
Under the present setup, any
major league team can purchase a
minor league franchise by giving
the league $4,000 and making suit
able arrangements with the club
owner, without regard for the
ACo6uCc . otdblllIy. 1IidI WOulQ give
the majors an opportunity to place
teams in such cities as Los Angeles
and San Francisco of the Coast
League, Milwaukee of the American
Association, New orleans of the
Southern Association or Baltimore
of the International League.
Big Draft Raise Wanted.
The minors. at present, must bow
to the will of the high commissioner
yet they have no voice in his selec-
ton. He is elected by the presi-
dents of the 16 major league clubs.
Richardson says they want that
rule changed, too, when the new
agreement is reached.
However, Lands successor prob
ably will be named before the De-
cember meeting of the National
Association.
Clarence PANTS Rowland, presi-
dent of the Pacific Coast League,
has been outspoken in his demands
the prices of players drafted by
the majors be raised. He feels the
price should be hiked to $4,000
at least, because the draft price
of $500 often Is much lower than
the price a minor league club could
ask on the "open market"

Many dog show exhibitors are re-
lieved by the Office of Defense
Transportation's directive prohibit
ing long distance travelling to and
from dog shows. But it is doubtful
If there Is an exhibitor anywhere
who is not irked by the same Office S
dictum that dog shows are trade
convention" rather than sports
events.
How do they get that way any
how? How do they come to decide
that a field trial, the smaller half
of pure bred dog exhibitions, are
sports events and dog shows are
not?
Do they have the idea that breed
ers take -litters of pups to dog shows
and , ssion them off to the high
- Didders as they did in the old
days at the Fredericksburg dog
mart?
Or do they think that the highly
trained pointers and settlers at field
trials never are sold right at the
trial grounds, or that plans never
are made at these grounds for stud
and breeding services, just as they
are made at dog shows?
1t is true that dog shows have
become commercialized to the ex-
tent that a large proportion of the
big winners are handled by pro-
fessionals. But what makes them
think the same thing is not true
at field trials? Indeed, the proper
ton. is much larger.
Not Organized for Profit.
What is there about dog shows
that makes them trade conventions?
No kennel club is organized for
profit. If it were, it could not get
a charter from the American Ken
mel Club, ruling body of the sport
of dog breeding, showing, and
training. Few clubs make profit
on any dog show. When the club
does make a profit, it turns it over
to charity.
Since the beginning of the war
dog breeders and exhibitors have
turned over an estimated 1000, 600
worth of dogs and labor to the KS
Corps. Now that Dogs for Defense
is not functioning as a procurement
agency, the Coast Guard and Ma
rine Corps are not having such
smooth sailing in procuring the
valuable Doberman pinschers and
German shepherds they fancy for
their extremely vital work. Dogs
for Defense was a spontaneously
created organization of and by dog
fanciers.

BuiIdup Over, Cannon
Meets Reynolds in
Real Ring Test

That's no "stiff" young Joe Can

final tomorrow night at Turner's
Arena on the Colon Chaney-Clint
Conway card.
Matchmaker Gabe Menendez feels
that it's about time for the North
east 18-year-old to show what he's
got against faster company and has
matched him with Sparky Reynolds
Of Indianapolis, tough. expert
enced club fighter. It's a reversal
of the usual "build-up" technique of
matchmaking used for promising
youngsters such as Cannon.
Reynolds Is no world-beater, but
he's an entirely different type of
fighter from the five opponents
Cannon has whipped SO far in his
professional career. Sparky is the
sort of ringwise workman who SO
often has proved the nemesis of
clever but inexperienced stylists.
Reynolds Is awkward, slow, car
ries his hands down around his
waist, but he has a wicked bolo
punch and can soak up any amount
Of punishment. He fights rough,
and young Joe. whose punch is
negligible compared with his skill,
may run into trouble, but If he wins
he should be soundly established as
punch-for-pay battler.
