 New York, May 16. (UP)-While the various professional football organizations are jockeying for ter ritory and players so that they can cash in on the post war sports boom, we suggest that they pause in their maneuverings and turn their united attention toward Latrobe, Pa.
 Latrobe is 8 steel and coal town about 35 miles southeast of Pitts burgh. It is the cradle of pro foot ball. Also it is the home of the first pay-for-play grid performer, Dr.. John K. Brallier, Latrobe dentist. And this year happens to be the golden anniversary of the sport, which was born 50 years ago.
 Perhaps the master-minds of pro- < fessional football are less Senti- mental than the magnates of or ganized baseball If so, they can claim a new record for callouSness. Anyway, the baseball biggies went all-out in 1889 in celebrating the centennial of the horsehide game, meanwhile dedicating shrine-a museum and hall of fame-at Cooperstown, N. Y, birthplace of the national pastime.
 \ Pro football is now big-time sport. During its season it chal- 1enges the college grid game for national attention, although the collegiate sport had a long, running start in popular appeal. And if the commercial pigskin advertisement continues it's rapid advance, it may be able to challenge baseball for the title of national pastime," within the next decade. The stage is being set for a tremendous pro F. B. boom. Tn this connection. the ! pro-footballers would be boosting their own business by celebrating its golden anniversary in September .s--in some fashion, and by making plans for a shine at Latrobe. These plans could be carried out after the Japs are licked.
 < Perhaps the National Football League and other organizations have been considering such plans. 1f so, they have not been called to our attu.tion. We have learned, however, that the citizens of Lat xcbe and some other Pennsylvania { oCmmunities are desirious of having 1he anniversary observed They 11ye organized a committee to start ne bah downfield.

BROOKLYN 1945
 BABIES' SHOW
 SPLENDID FORM
BY CARL LUNDQUIST (Unietd Press Staff Correspondent


 New York, May 16.-UP)-They laughed when Boss Branch Rickey brought out his 1945 Brooklyn Dodg- CTS, but today, just one month la ter, the laughs have turned to cheers that reached crescendo when the team won it's 10th straight game last night.
 That's something that hasn't hap pened to Dodger club since Sep tember of 1943, which was before General Manager Hickey instituted his bobby sox' youth movement in full scale proportions. Hickey, long known as one o1 the top judges of baseball talent had the critics charging that he was slipping when he filled the Dodger wartime ranks with 'teen- aged kids, who had little or no pro- fessional experience.
 We're building for the future, he replied. We. may not win any pennants for a while, but we'll get better and when we do watch out"
 Kids Come Through
 Probably not even Rickey figured the youngsters would move into winning stride so quickly, since he emphasized he was building a postwar" team. Yet, sparked by the kids and steadied by the few oidsters on the club, they have the longest winning streak of tine | major league campaign, the last five games being taken against the tough western opposition. Pitchers Vic Lombardi, the win ner last night, Leroy Pfund, Tom Seats and Otho Nitcholas, none O. whom had been in the majors be- fore, have won four of the last six games and Manager Leo Ou- rocher still has some other aces on tap. His staff is working SC | well he has the starting assignments figured out as far ahead as next Sunday.
 Lombardi, gaining his third win | held the Pirates to five hits in the to 3 victory, getting off to a safe start when the Dodgers made four runs in he first inning. The Dodgers made 12 hits, all singles off starter Art Cuccurullo and Max Butcher, who took over before the inning ended. Fred (Dixie) Walker, last years major league batting champion, continued his hitting splurge with three hits in four times up.
 Giants Won 10 of II
 Despite their surge, the second place Dodgers still were unable to gain on the leading Giants, who won their 10th game in II by topping the visiting Chicago Cubs to 4. Phil Weintraubs sixth homer, which put him in 8 tie for the league lead with Manager Mel O.t, provided Van Lingle Mungo the mai gin he needed for his third vic- tory.
 The St. Louis Cardinals came out of hitting slump at Boston, beat ing the Braves to on Elvin (Bus- ter) Adams three run homer in the eighth. It was the second victory against four defeats for the world champions on their eastern trip. Sylvester (Blix) Donnelly saved tie game for rookie Jack Cree!. strik- ing out two men in the ninth after Phil Masi opened with a triple. Tommy Holmes of the Braves got three doubles and two singles in five times at bat.
 The Cincinnati Reds made seven unearned runs for all their scoring in a T to 3 victory in a night game at Philadelphia. Steve Mesner with double, three singles, drove in four runs to pace rookie Frank Dasso to victory.
 All American league games were rained out.

CHERRY C0NFERS
ON MEADOWS CASE

RALEIGH, April 10.-4R6State' S
attorneys and counsel for DR.. Leon
R. Meadows, former president of
East Carolina Teachers College,
agreed today to leave to Judge j.
Paul Frizzelle the matter of an
opening date for the second trial
of DR.. Meadows on embezzlement
and false pretense charges.
Attorneys interested in the case
conferred for two hours with Gov
ernor Cherry in an effort to ar
rive at a date for the beginning
of a special term of Pitt Superior
court which would be suitable to
both sides.
In the end, a tentative date of
April 80, set by Governor Cherry
last week, was allowed to stand
for the time being, the Governor
said. Any postponement from that
date must be made by Judge Fritz
zelle, who was named by the Gov
ernor to preside over the second
trial.
Governor Cherry said that each
of the attorneys concerned with
the case apparently was willing
and ready to try the case a second
time, and on the date he had ten
tatively set. However, Cherry
said, Meadows attorneys said sew
eral conflicting dates involving
other cases would have to be iron
ed out. Too, Meadows auditor,
E. M. Wall Of Greenville, had said
he had been called as witness in
another case scheduled to begin
May IA.
The first trial of DR.. Meadows,
charging embezzlement and false
pretense in connection with mis-
handling of funds while president
of E.C.TC., ended in a mistrial
last month after eight weeks du-
ration. Nine of the embezzlement
counts and part Of the false pre-
tense count were dismissed by
Judge Clawson Williams, who pre-
sided.

WITH THE, U. S. SEVENTH
ARMY Up -Rumors circulating
among prisoners Of war cast an
interesting light on the confusion
and CONSERVATION that must exist
in sections of Germany still under
Nazi rule.
The Seventh Army's prisoners
are fresh from battle and have
been in touch with German civil
ians very recently, either by cor
respondence or by actual contact
in towns and cities where they
were billeted.
No sooner do I begin to talk to
prisoners anywhere than they say
1--WE heard Hitler shot himself. Is
it true?'' or, 1--WE hear Goering
was killed during a bombing raid.
How about it," They almost seem
disappointed that I cannot give
confirmation.
Another stock question is "does
Goebbels still put out faxed Werh-
macht reports?" On one occasion
