will Play All Games
In Hub City Except
One With Giants
By HUGH FULLERTON, Jr

NEW YORK, April 10 (P.-The
Brooklyn Tigers of the National
Football League merged with the
Boston Yanks today, with the COM
bination losing its Brooklyn identity
completely and playing all its home
games except one in the Hub city.
The one exception is the contest
with the New York Giants. which
will be played in the New York
Yankee Stadium, of which Capt.
Dan Topping is co-owner. He also
is the owner of the football Tigers.
Herb Kopf. coach of the Yanks
last season, will be head coach of
the combination this year.
The football moguls, now in the
fifth day of an annual meeting that
was originally scheduled for three
days, also passed resolution that
no National League club could sign
for an exhibition unless 1t received
permission from four -fifths of the
rival league owners.
An exception to this rule was that
no permission would be needed to
play teams from the American As
sociation and Dixie League, pro
circuits which have working agree
ments with the National.
The merger is for one year only.
Tom Gallery acting president of
the Tigers, said that the New York
Yankee baseball club wants team
in Yankee Stadium in 1916 and we
are going to play there, either as a
member of the National League or
one of the new ones"
He added the playing of the Bos-
ton Giant game in the stadium
should not be interpreted as an in
dication the Giants had waived their
territorial rights.

Marshall Loses Move
For 33-P|ayer Limit

B! Staff Correspondent OF The Star.
NEW YORK, April 10-George
Marshall's proposal to the National
Football League to increase the
player limit from % to 33 was de-
feated, but he won his point when
a rider Wasadopted permitting clubs
to add five discharged servicemen to
their rosters after their opening
games.
The only stipulation is that they
must have been on the clubs active
player list at the time of their in
duction. Lone exception to this pro-
vision is Boston, which entered the
league last session.
The Redskins are doing all right
They have been promised six home
games this season, and. if the league
goes to - teams next year, there
is a possibility they'll get seven
They want at least that many.
A Redskin sponsored proposal
giving the league final say in sale Of
individual clubs television and
movie rights also was passed This
will pave the way for compensation
for the visiting team, which, it was
argued, furnishes half the entertain
ment and is entitled to some of the
proceeds. Current radio contracts
were not affected, as most are strict
ly local hookups.
Another attempt to move the
leagues headquarters to New York
again was defeated The loop also
put up another barrier against op-
position by forbidding members to
play teams in any other league un-
less it is affiliated with the NFL.
The Redskin will list New York,
Philadelphia, Boston. Pittsburgh,
Green Bay or the Chicago Bears,
and Cleveland or the Chicago Car
dinals on the home lot, with the
Tribe travelling to New York, Phila-
delphia. Boston and Pittsburgh for
return games.
From a strictly nonpartisan view
point it appears that the Brooklyn
Boston business will end with
one-year merger. If the circuit
had its 18th member now. the own
ers could discuss schedules intelli-
gently and probably unravel the
New York problem, but the new club
will not be voted on for at least a
year.
