Too bad that budgets and book

Hair Care-Pour a little of your

you dance with boys who are taller

hair with little perfume before
you roll it up in curriers' at night.
Sweeter Sweaters-A few drops
of your favorite perfume in your
last sweater rinsing will keep you

today on his attitude as War Mobi-

signed as head of the Office OF

Byrnes recently said the ban on
racing will be lifted on We Day.
Such action now apparently will

BROOKLYN TIGERS
SEEKING MERGER
WITH B0ST0NIANS
Decision On Yankee Stad-
ium To Be Reached
Today

NEW YORK, April 3 -lR- Th=
Brooklyn Tigers, currently the Or
phans of the National Football
League, would be willing to merge
with the Boston Yanks for the 1915
season, acting President Tom Gal
lery said today on the eve of an
important league meeting.
1--WE will do it if it will help the
league" Gallery said. 1--WE don't
have coach and they have darn
good o1a.' Gallery. who runs the
club for Capt. Dan Topping, who is
on duty with the Marines in the
Pacific, might also have said that
the Tigers won't have home park
unless a favorable decision on their
use of the Yankee Stadium is
reached at tomorrow's executive
committee meeting or during the
general league meeting which
starts Friday.
The Tigers announced they no
longer would play their games at
Ebbets Field after the Dodgers
Branch Hickey refused long-tern
lease. Before they can play in the
Yankee Stadium, now owned by
Topping. Larry MacPhail and Del
Webb, the New York Giants must
waive. their territorial rights. So
far President Jack Mara of the
Giants has refused to give any in
dication of his clubs attitude.
Mara and Gallery both are men,
bers of the executive committee,
along with Curly Lambeau of the
Green Bay Packers and Charles
Bidwill of the Chicago Cardinals.
Gallery also said that he planned
to discuss the matter by telephone
tonight with owner Topping, who
definitely will have something to
say about the fate of his club.
The proposed one-year merger
with Boston would not delay a de-
cision., since the teams home
games would be divided between
Boston and New York.
Also depending on the stadium
decision is the fate of at least one
of two proposed postwar profess
sional leagues. Chick Meehan, or
ganizer of the Trans-America
League, indicated today that he
would abandon his pland it he was
unable to place a team in New
York. Until the Yankees were sold,
Meehan had the inside track on a
stadium lease, and since the sale
MacPhail has indicated that the
Tigers might jump to either the
Trans-America or the All American
Conference if they could not play
National League games in the Sta
dunn.
: Meehan's latest proposal, which
has drawn no comment from Ma
tional League officials, is that the
five strongest cities in his circuit
should be Joined to the National
League to form one powerful group
which would operate as two eight
club leagues.

YANKS INVADE
TAWlTAWI isle

The 41st Division, which has Ia
ken part in more than a dozen in
vasion operations in the Pacific,
began its move toward the Sulu
archipelago when it, invaded Pala-
wan February 28. After a quick
cleanup on that island, units Of the
division landed on Mindanao,
near Zamboanga, March 10.
Zamboanga was captured two
days later in a quick campaign that
caught the enemy completely by
surprise.
Macarthur said the invasion OF
Mindanao gave control of the ZEN
tire length of western shores OF the
Philippine islands, distance OF
approximately 800 miles"
On March %, the 41st Division
completed three years Of overseas
service. twenty-five months of this
was in actual combat. 1t had seen
more service than any other di-
vision in the Pacific theater.
On southeastern Luzon, invaded
at the big port of Legaspi Easter
morning, one column OF the l4th
Corps drove q miles northwest
along the Bicol peninsula while
other columns moving eastward
seized San Pablo city, capital OF

Macarthur reported his 40th Di-

tured Bubug and was approaching

The America Division on Cebu is

Macarthur said the Americans
have all the Negros except the
northwestern tip from SHAY to Fa-
brica, and the town of Damasuete
on the southeast coast; Panay IS
land is now practically cleared

Yank control except for the foot

PRO F0OTBALLERS|
HEAR SUGGESTION
FOR new PLAYERS
Redskin President Saw,
Grid Squad. Should
Be Increased

WASHINGTON, April s. B -
Professional football has no acute
manpower problems, and instead
OF thinking about team mergers 1t
should increase the size OF squads
to accommodate discharged serv-
icemen.
George Preston Marshall, Presi-
dent of the Washington Redskins,
made that suggestion today for Ma
tlonal Professional Football league
members to consider at their meet
ing in New York Friday and Satur-
day.
Marshall also said that the
sports transportation difficulties
probably will be negligible by next
October, eff gas rationing is eased'
after the defeat of Germany, as the
Office of War Mobilization indicat-
ed over the weekend. Game trips
then could be taken in private
cars.
League officials have disclosed
that mergers of teams may be ef-
fected to reduce the circuit to eight
teams next season.
Arthur Sampson, general man
ager of the Boston Yankees, men,
toned among teams that might
merge with other clubs, seconded
Marshalls remarks about man
power.
We're lot better off today
than we were year ago." Samp-
son said, adding that 1--WE didn' t
have man last May, and we now
have 3d." Last season was the first
in the league for the Yankees.
1--WE ought to increase the player
limit from % to the prewar total
of 50 per team" Marshall said, "to
take care of players who may be
discharged from service before
next season. They certainly will
be entitled to their old job back"
The entire professional football
season including exhibitions games
can be played by using no more
transportation than one major
league baseball team requires,
Marshall said.
I'VE play on Sundays, nonwork-
ing days; our players work in war
plants, and we serve as a substan-
tial travel deterrent by keeping
thousands of flush week-enders off
trains, buses and the highways"
Marshall said.
