BROOKLYN TEAM
AWAITS ACTION
BY GRID GIANTS
No Decision Reached Re.
garding Tigers Terri
torial Rights
by HAROLD CLAASSEN

NEW YORK, Jan. 29-tR-Tom
Gallery, general manager Of the
Brooklyn Tiger football team, said
today he had conferred with John
V. Mara, president OF the New
York football Giants, but that no
decision was reached regarding the
latter clubs territorial rights.
The Tigers, who have been Of
fered a one-year lease of Ebbets
Field by Branch Rickty, are owned
by Capt. Daniel r. Topping, who
last weekend became one of the
new owners of the New York
Yankee baseball dynasty.
However, Topping can not move
his football Tigers to his own sta.
dunn without consent of the foot
ball Giants, who play their games
in the polo grounds. Topping, heir
to tin-plate fortune and husband
Of Sonia Henie, now is believed tc
be in the Pacific.
1t was also learned that Chick
Meehan, head of the trans-Ameri.
ca league which hopes to start after
the war, is pressing Col. Larry
MacPhail, general manager of the
Yankees in the new setup, to honor
the verbal contract given j. Basil
Mcclure by the old Yankee Of
ficers.
Mcclure, husband of one of the
heirs of the late Col. Jacob Rupert
holds the New York franchise in
the Meehan loop and is said tc
have been promised the stadium
for his club.
Should the Brooklyn grid fran.
chise be moved to the stadium,
Meehan probably will attempt tc
fashion the eastern hub of his loor
around Brooklyn; Boston, where
the Boston Braves are said to be
interested and possible Philadel-
phia with the franchise going to
the Philadelphia PPhillies.
Other reports had Brooklyn com.
bining with the Pittsburgh Steel.
ers for the 1945 grid campaign and
the Cleveland Rams moving to Eb.
bets Field if Topping transfers
his gridders to the stadium.
Gallery made the only positive
statement of the day. He said that
LIT. Comdr. Jock B. Sutherland is
under contract to the Brooklyn club
ana we expect him to coach our
club when he gets out of the serv.
ice" There have been reports that
Sutherland, formerly at Pittsburgh,
university, might join the Steelers,
where Coach Walt Kiesling resign
ed Friday.

TAR HEELS SET
FOR WEEKEND
OF HARD GOING

CHAPEL HILL, Jan. Bylaw
ing five days devoid of competition
with the exception Of a basket
ball game with William and Mary
here Thursday night, North Caro-

to review their mistakes OF the

the swimmers, boxers, and White

with a burst Of torrid perfor-

Woollen Gymnasium and Bow

Of plenty of activity Saturday
night. In the afternoon the Geor-
sia Tech Engineers engage the
swimmers in a return meet, and
the Carolinas and National Junior
A. A. U. meet will be run off that
night. The boxers are Bracing
themselves for an invasion by the
Virginia Cavaliers in Woollen

The Tar Heel swimmers have
one victory over the Engineers to
their credit so far this season, and

conquest Of the Atlanta boys. In
the A. A. U. meet that night the
Tar Heel varsity will be defend

a talented group of swimmers
from other schools. The Carolina
varsity has won the team title
every year but one, since swim

Support Sought
On Proposed
Health Statutes

Support of three amendments to
the state health and safety code
recently introduced in the legis-
lature is sought by the Imperial
County tuberculosis and Health
association. it was announced Thurs
day by Keith Nets. president.
The three amendments were in
troduced as Senate Bills Nos. 25,
309 and 308 The first would in
crease the state subsidy paid to
counties for hospital care of the
tuberculous from So to 81 per week,
the second make counties not haV-
ing hospital facilities eligible for the
subsidy for patients sent elsewhere
and the third would definitely auth
orize health officers to quarantine
or isolate tuberculous persons who
had refused necessary treatment.
Nets said that he knew of no
organized opposition TO any OF the
measures. He pointed out that the
original subsidy statute was passed
nearly 80 years ago when the pur-
chasing power of So was more than
the equivalent OF the 81 now pro-
posed. The second measure, ac-
cording to Nets, would encourage
small counties not having quail
fled facilities of their own to send
patients to Sanatoria and hospitals
where they would receive adequate
treatment.
In the past various interpreta-
tions have been placed on the iso-
lation and quarantine law by su-
perior courts when efforts have
been made to apply it to persons
suffering from tuberculosis, Nets
explained With more patients
leaving sanatoria against medical
advice by the lure of high wages,
it is important that this statute be
clarified"
