PROPOSED MERGER
BETWEEN BOSTON,
BROOKLYN is OFF
National Football League
Prepares For Return
ing Servicemen

NEW YORK, April 9|RIThe
proposed Brooklyn Tigers-Boston
Yanks merger was declared OFT to,
day as the National Football
League went into the fourth day
of it's annual meeting. Whether
this declaration was final remains
to be seen, however, as Brooklyn
and the New York Giants contln-
ued to maneuver for a favorable
position on the plan to move the
Tigers into Yankee Stadium.
While the league as a whole con-
cerned itself with constitutional
changes and plans for taking care
of returning service men, repre-
sentatives of the three clubs in
volved engaged in private confer
ences. Finally Tom Gallery, gen.
eral manager of the Dodgers,
emerged to remark, We've with
drawn from the merger" He Of
ferad no explanation.
The league, however, took an
other step toward the 12-cluh cir
cult that was believed to- be one
stipulation under which the Giants
might permit the Tigers to use the
Bronx Ball Park. This was con-
stitutional change, effective in 1916
permitting no fewer than ten clubs
nor more than twelve to make up
the circuit. This ruled out any idea
of expanding to- 16 clubs and also
gave the league control over mer'
gers and suspensions.
After voting to keep the player
limit at % men, the club owners
decided that each club may take
on five discharged service men in
addition to these % after the club
first game of 1945 provided that
the men were on the clubs active
list at the time of their induction
and that they were discharged or
placed on inactive military status
after the clubs first game OF 1s45.
Boston, new club last year, was
expected from the first proviso.
No club, however, can use more
than % players in one game.
Other resolutions passed were to
make club liable to a fine if 1t
pays a fine imposed on a player,
to invest the right to sell motion
picture and televison rights on all
games in the league rather than
the individual clubs, and to forbid
players to appear in games minus
stockings. A suggestion that league
. headquarte be moved from
Chicago to New York was voted
down.

posed to giving more than a fair
share of it to a foreign country. II
the time comes when there is more

I am in favor of giving it to the
lower basin states"
Fer every acre of land irrigated
in Mexico, an acre OF land IN the
United States must remain forever
arid" he concluded. in summing up
the consensus of the meeting.
Nevada summed up its position by
relating that D the treaty effects
a surrender OF rightful control OF
the river and is further encroach-
ment on state rights by the federal
government: 90 the amount of
water proposed to be given Mexico is
in excess of the amount it has
moral right to; (3)) the govern
ment has no right to place in jeop-
ardv the contracts it signed with
the water users who signed these
contracts as American citizens in
good faith.
Colorado delegates ventured that
contrary to previous understanding
that it was that states duty to ratl-
fy. they were now entertaining
doubt.
California pointed cut that the
maximum use Mexico has ever made
of the river water was 10000 acre
feet. their minimum is 100000 and
average use about 100000, hence no
justification for inc ease.
Other points summed up by the
California delegation were, briefly:
The treaty would give away be-
yond recall powers which should
remain under the control of con-
gress.
1t would place the contents OF
three river systems under the veto
" Mexico.
It would invade the jurisdiction
of states and federalize irrigation
and power.
It would violate the sanctity OF
contracts under federal law.
It would violate the solemn prom
ise of the government that veterans
would be permitted to reclaim lands
under Boulder Dam.
It would guarantee more than
Just share of water to Mexico.
1t would permit Mexico to share
revenue of power developments on
the American canal, which be-
longs to u S. citizens.
It would subsidize water users in
Mexico at the expense of Americans.
