YANK, BROOKLYN
M MERGER FINALLY
MEETS APPROVAL
Bickering Finally Ceases
With a Logical So
luton

NEW YORK, April 10.-(P)-Af.
ter four days of pickering. spiced
by Tom Gallery's gesture of with
drawing from the transaction, the
National Football League today
settled its most pressing problem
of 1945 just as planned from the
beginning.
That was by merging the Brook
Ign Tigers, almost to the point OF
obliteration, with the Boston Yanks.
This merger, expeced from the
start of the league meeting last
Friday, reduced the circuit to ten
teams for 1945. Club owners then
began drawing up the seasons
schedule
The Ii gers, already committed
to leaving Brooklyn, will virtually
lose their identity except that one
of the combine3 clubs home games
against the New York Giants
will be played in Yankee Stadium,
New York. All other home games
will be in Boston; business affairs
will be transacted by the Boston
organization and Herb Kopf of the
Yanks will coach the team.
Gallery, the Tigers business
manager who said yesterday that
he had withdrawn from the mcr-
ger, explained today that it was
just what we wanted all along"
He reiterated, however, that the
New York Yankees baseball club
intends to sponsor a football team
in Yankee Stadium in 1916, either
the Tigers or another team in an
other LEAGUE.
The league aimed another blow
at proposed new leagues by voting
that no National League club may
schedule exhibition games against
teams from other circuits, except
the affiliated American Association
and Dixie League, without the con-
sent of four-fifths of the league
members.

Inning, 'Quakes Were
Leading 40

After playing three innings in a
orlzzIlng rain, members of the
Goldsboro and Wildcat baseball
teams submitted to the weather
man and postponed their scheduled
game while the Earthquakes were
leading 40.
The Wildcats started off the
game IN fine style, sitting the first
three Goldsboro batters down in
rapid succession, only to have them
receive the same treatment from
the 'Quakes in the latter half of
the frame.
The Wayne County lads found the
range in the second canto. parlay-
ing three hits and two Hanoverian
errors into three runs. Jello Hal
low led off with single, Ellis

advance to third and Wilson to
reach first safely. David Stafford
doubled to right field, scoring Will
son and Hallow. Dali popped up,
and Donald Malpass, Goldsboro
hurler, doubled to left field, scor-
ing Stafford.
Pitcher Malpass continued to
hold the Cats in check, sitting
down Smith, Sharpe and Fennell
in the second.
The fourth Goldsboro run came
in the third when Davis bunt was
thrown over the first base.nan's
head by Vic James, allowing Davis
to advance to second. Davis scored
on two passed balls.
The Wildcats muffed their lone
chance to score in the third when
they collected two hits. Duncan

followed with a sharp Texas

Whitley Aud Making
Good With Many Club

Bill Whitley" Aud, three-sport
star and Christman Trophy winner
At New Hanover High School last
wear, is now cavorting about third
base for the Naval Air Station base
ball team at Corpus Christi, Texas.
The fiery blond has broken into
the Airmen lineup despite an abun-
dance of hold-over material from
their last years club.
Aulo COPIED the ChristIlian cup
while starring in football, baseball
and basketball at New Hanover
last year. The trophy is awarded
annually to the senior boy with the
best combined athletic and aca-
demic record.
A highly competitive athlete,
Aud has developed into one of the
most efficient of the Airmen in
fielders Fast afield and possessing
a good throwing arm, he is a main
stay in their strong inner defense.
The husky nineteen year-old, who
has rocketed up to 200 pounds since
entering the Navy last July %, is
also showing up well at the plate.
A righthanded batter who hits to
all fields, he has been clouting op-
posing pitching at a lusty clip.
A knee injury that hampered him
in the 1943 grid campaign has
cleared up, and the big blond is
running the bases with the same
dash that made him one of the top
sack thieves in the Eastern Con-
ference for two seasons.
The scrappy Wilmington boy is
regarded by Texas diamond men
as fine prospect for professional
baseball. Although planning to at
tend college, he repeatedly has a
definite eye toward entering the
play-forpay ranks after the war.
The Airmen will play a full sche-
dule, having carded tits with many
service teams. A host of ex-pros
stud the lineups for these clubs,
SO the 1945 season may we'll prove
a major test for the promising
youngSter

FROM PEACE TALK
Continued from Page One)

There were these other pre-
conference developments:
l. The question of Argentina S
attendance appeared to depend on
the attitude of Russia toward the
Argentine government which the
United States, Britain and many
other United Nations formally
recognized yesterday. Russ a
would have to pass upon an Argen-
tine request for admission to the
United Nations and also, if it were
made, any suggestion that Argen-
tina attend the West Coast parley.
2. Stettinius said he was still
hopeful that a new Polish govern
ment would be set up at Warsaw
in time to represent Poland. But
other officials were unable to sight
anything more than hope in sup
port of this possibility.
3 Forty-two labor, business, pro-
fessional, religious and similar
ganizations were invited to send
one representative and an assistant
each to the conference. This ad-
dition of "a persons made it GER
tain that American group dele
gates, advisors and consultants
would total many more than 100
persons.
The consultants from the various
private organizations will pay
tneir own expenses.
4. The meeting of international
jurists to provide for world
court within the framework of the
Dumbarton Oaks world organiza-
ton plan went into its second day
with attention still focused on or
ganizational problems.
