SPORTS PARADE

about possibilities of his becoming
sports co-ordinator, he said. Il
wouldn't want the job; because it
would tie me up for at least a cou-
pie of years"
BYRNES is VEXED
However, our Washington source
says that War Mobilization Director
Byrnes is considering seriously re-
questing the war department to as
sign MacPhail to the mobilization
office on February 10, so that
Byrnes can appoint him co-ordina-
tor to act as liaison officer between
sports and the war effort Our in
formant explained that Byrnes is
becoming increasingly vexed by the
lack of any definite policy toward
sports in general or toward indi-
vidual sports, among the various
civilian agencies under him. Mac
Phail, former president of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, could standard
ize policies IN manpoWer, transpor-
tation, equipment, etc.. meanwhile
MacPhail also could advise in the
formulation of directives and crack
down on owners, promoters or ath-
letesswhose transgressions were in
terfering with the war effort and
threatening the welfare of a sport.

Valley to Darken
Electric Signs,
.CurfaiI Lighting

Conservation of electricity will be
the keynote of the nationwide
"brownout" that will go into effect
February l, in an effort to save fuel
oil used in the generation of elec-
tricity, War Production board Off
cials announced Tuesday, according
to the Imperial Irrigation district.
Since the Imperial Valley is inter-
connected with a network that in
cludes Phoenix, which is now gener-
ating large part of its power in
steam plants, this district cannot
claim exemption from the order
The power saved in the valley,
which is hydro electric, will release
an equal amount of power to be
used in places, in this network,
where the source Of power is steam
generation, thus effecting a saving
of essential fuel oil.
Cities, under the order, will be re-
quired to curtail uses of lighting on
streets and alleys, to be determined
by the cities.

Benefit Payments
Yield, Fertility
To Increase Flax

The national flaXseed goal for,
1945 has been set at five million
acres, of which the California state
goal is 10000 acres, to meet the
estimated U. S. requirement of 36.8a
million bushels, Rudolph Miller, OF
the Ell Centro AAA, announced
Wednesday.
Under the program to increase
the production of flaxseed to fill
minimum U. S. requirements, pay
ments of five dollars will be made
TO farmers for each acre planted to
flaXseed up to the acreage set as the
farm goal. The planted acreage
will be set as the farm goal in the
Imperial Valley.
ADVOCATE FERTILIZING
Since it is too late in the season
to plant more flax in the valley, the
AAA is advocating a plan whereby
the money involved in this program
will be used to fertilize the flax al
ready planted in an effort to in
crease the acreage yield, Miller said.
The application of nitrogen to the
flax plant just before it blooms, he
said, will tend to cause the plants
fruiting branches to continue their
growth thereby increasing the num-
ber of pods per plant.
Linseed oil obtained from flax is
used in the manufacture of paint
and varnish, for coated fabrics, for
leather and textile processing, and
in the construction of ships and
weapons, and is therefore one of
the most essential crops in the ma
ton.

list OF stocks fractions TO around a point
today after a small early decline. Trading
wns light.
Wall Street viewed the pickup in de-
mand FOR railroad stocks as an indication
that recent heavy selling in the group may
have been overdone. The undertone of the
market. moreover, in the five previous
sessions of decline had been such that any
concentrated buying in any group of lead
ers would have provided the necessary
stimulus for fair recovery, analysts said.
During every one OF the previous five

By JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Jan. "a. (UP)-The
wartime sports situation attained
new heights of confusion today, due
to the following hodgepodge of fact
report and rumor:
Cd President Ford Frick of the
National league disclosed that ma
jor league club owners will decide
at their New York meeting, Feb
ruary 8, whether they will be able
to open the 1945 season. under eX-
isting conditions.
% A well-informed Washington
source tipped us that Col. Larry
MacPhail may be appointed ma
tional sports co-ordinator on Feb
ruary 10, when he obtains inactive
army status, although he does not
want the job.
90 A certain New York racketeer
is willing to bet even money that
racing will be resumed in non
critical labor areas before summer.
He says his inside info is straight
from the feedbox."
(4) A person who is closely ac-
OQd4llltu
velt and Jimmy Byrnes, director OF
war mobilization, insists that these
two gentlemen desire professional
sports to continue for the duration;
but that both are dead set against
participation by able-booied ath-
letes who have been masquerading
as 4-F's and medical discharges
through the laxity or sports
enthusiasm of examining ply
SicianS.
FIRST INTIMATION
Frick's disclosure about the op-
ening- closing decision to be
made at the February meeting ac-
centuates the gravity of the major
league situation. It was their first
intimation from any baseball Off
cial that the owners might find it
necessary to throw in the sponge
in advance OF the season.
The National league preXy made
this disclosure when questioned by
reporters about his Monday confer
ences at Washington with heads of
various war agencies, to whom he
had gone seeking "factual informa-
ton" He will turn this information
over to the owners meeting on Feb
ruary 3, he said, and let them de-
eide whether to open. Frick would
not hint at the nature of his in
formation.
MacPHAIL SAYS NIX
Meanwhile, Col. Larry MacPhail,
in New York last night, denied pub
lished reports that he had been
given an army discharge. He ex-
planned that he had requested an
inactive status so that he could
clear up some personal business
affairs in Michigan" These affairs
are pressing, he said, because of
the death a month ago of his
brother, H. w. MacPhail, with
whom Larry was a partner in an
investment house in Grand Rapids,
Michigan. His request for inactive
status has been granted, effective
February 10, he explained, although
he will still be in the army and
subject to call at any time. Asked

R-Horse racing at the Aqua Cal

of here, drew its usual Sunday
crowd-approximately 5000 per
sons-today despite the new obi
ban on use of vehicles to transport
passengers to horse races.
Customs officials reported the
usual number of vehicles crossing
the border today, but estimated
that only a small percentage OF
the cars were driven to the track.
Most motorists, it was reported,
used Tijuana taxis to reach the
track, three miles from the border.
There was no evidence, customs
officials said, of any OPA or ODT
inspectors checking license plates
of automobiles as they crossed in
to Mexico. Most of the travellers
are tourists on shopping or sight
seeing trips to Tijuana.
