Pro Football Mergers Loom

New York, April 6-(UP)-The National League Professional Foot ball executives were expected today to approve transfer of the Brook lyn Tiger franchise from Ebbets field to the Yankee Stadium and permit one or two mergers to give the 11-team circuit balance for the sched lie makers.
 Although the annual player draft of top collegiate prospects normal ly would be the top item of busi- ness on the agenda, the fact that many of the stars will not be avail able for service because of military duty has shunted 1t into the back ground.
 It was understood that merger between the Brooklyn Club and the Boston Tanks would meet with the approval of the league owners II most of the home games of the combined eleven could be played at Yankee Stadium. Other possi- ble mergers included the amalga- nation of the two Chicago teams, the Bears and the Cardinals, and tie-in by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the Cleveland Rams, the De- troit Lions or the Philadelphla Eagles. However, each of the four owners has expressed at least pro- visional opposition to merger.

NELSON NUMbS ATLANTA FOES
 WITH GREAT 64
By BURNS BENNETT irniiad Prnss Stan C0rreGnOnda

Atlanta, Ga., April 6 - (UP) - Byron Nelson, the golfing marks man vith the red-hot "shootin' irons, threatened today to make 8 runaway of the $10,000 Atlanta iron lung tournament, taking a five stroke lead after his opening day round of GA.
 Nelson, the Ohio ace of the fair ways, had seven birdies yesterday in amassing his five under par card and there wasn't man in the field of more than 30 players who could even approach him.
 His most persistent winter rival, Sammy Snead of Hot Springs. Va, was tied for second with Harold (Jug) McSpaden, another consist ent shooter. They had even par sos over the rolling capital city course.
 Making allowance for a stiff wind, Nelson kept his drives low and down the middle of the tree-lined fairways. He got in trouble on only two holes, the second and the 18th taking bogeys on each. On all of the others he shot either par or birdies.
 Snead went out with two under par B on the front nine, but went two over on the back nine for a 36. He barely missed a hole in one on the 140-yard third hole when the ball stopped just in front of the cup. Nelson, battling for his eighth tournament victory of the season, became distinct favorite to win, while Snead. seeking his seventh triumph, was second choice.
 Other Scores
 Behind the three leaders were Big Ed Dudley of New York, the P. G. A. president, and Orville White of Winston-Salem, N. C., a rank outsider, who had 70's. Elmer Reed Of Atlanta had Il and George Low Of Clearwater. Fla, Ed Furgol of Detroit, an amateur, Joe Kirkwood of Philadelphia and Bobby Cruick- shank of Richmond, Va, were tied with 72'S.
 The B shooters were Jimmy Hines of Chicago. Joe Zarhardt of Norristown, Pa., Johnny Bulla oi Atlanta. Ed Oliver of Camp Miles Standish, Mass, and Dave Black ot Atlanta.

 Harwinton's grand old gent, Lou Cronan is anxious to form Vet erans' FOOTBALL L Association from the old timers of Waterbury, Thomaston, Naugatuck and other towns in the valley, who played football in the days of SOUP STEAMERS, and without head- guards. Charley Templeton and Tommy Lawlor right be interest," ed if they get to thinking about the good old days. <. Pat Slat- tery has the nucleus of a base- ball umpireS association that will be something to talk about after the BLIND TOMS organize at an April 10 meeting in the YMCA. Slattery is not easily discouraged and he has boundless energy. Waterbury chapter, American Red Cross is nearly $60 richer since the Mercantile Pin league finals last Tuesday; won by Metropolitan Cleaners. Sam Sena had the Red Cross idea; though tickets were not sold for the event; Jack Creedon passing the hat few times with excellent results. Those of you who were sportsmanlike enough to go for tickets for "a Sick Friend" recently, will be glad to know that he will benefit by more than $500 and you couldn't have kicked in'' for greater guy. Many, many thanks from those of us who got
 the ball rolling. New Britain and Bristol people are tickled since the announcement by Harry
