Ray Flaherty was feeling so good
about the All-America Conferences
success in signing players for its
maiden season next fall that he said
yesterday:
l. We've beaten the National
League in the battle for big-name
players for 1896"
2. We'll have a world series of
professional football by 1948 similar
to that in big-league baseball"
The reddish -complexioned coach
of the New York Yankees of the new
league did not disclose whether he
corralled any more material in an
overnight stay here.
But he reeled off to an interviewer
an impressive list of players who
have jumped the National League to
perform for the All-America Con-
ference next season.
AS a starter he named Glenn
Dobbs, Paul Governali, Charley
IO'Rourke, Angelo Bertelli, Norman
Standlee, Otto Graham, Bob Steu-
ber, Lou Rymkus, Frankie Sinkwich,
Martin Ruby and Bill Daley.
Picks Off Young Fellows.
THE older league (NationaD still
will have its old stars like Sammy
Baugh and Sid Luckman, and a few
new headliners like Bob Waterfield
and Steve Van Buren, but we've
picked off the young fellows who will
be the big names in the postwar pc
riod," he said.
Most of these are on the National
Leagues reserve list-players who
were in the armed forces with one
or two years of professional ball be-
hind them or just now are ready to
start pro careers.
I'm two years, the National will
be glad to talk peace with us and
work out an overall draft and

Walt Olson and Andy Davis largely
