Reg. U. s. Pat. Off, Sy JAMES H. CROWLEY Commissioner. All-America Football
 Conference
Written for the United Press)


 New Yorg. Aug. 28-(UP)-I have been asked how long I think it Will take before the new All-America Football Conference Is solid enough to rate recognition as a major league.
 It's fair question.
 In my mind, though. we were a einch to succeed long before I was appointed commissioner late in 1914 There had been problems, barriers, and disappointments be- fore then, there have been some since, and there will be still more.
 Test at Cleveland
 But, as OUT opening game ap- reaches. I am more convinced than ever that We have well-organized and permanent addition to the ma jor professional sports picture.
 The casual fan may take more convincing. since some of the basic things that make us sound haven [ been bla1oned across the nation s sport pages.
 The turnout for our Miami game at Cleveland the night of Sept. should provide the public with part Of the answer The Cleveland Browns in our opening game will practically equal the home attend ance mark of the National Football League championship Rams for an entire season.
 As a result of the postwar boom which has seen baseball attendance records shattered, advance ticket sales have also set new high marks, both in the NFL and in cities va ,ated by MEL teams and now oc- ,upied by our clubs Cleveland and Brooklyn are far ahead of their NFL counterparts for any given season n the past. New York and Chicago each has more than sl00000 in the bank right now.

Brosscos Blank Meriden by so

The Brasscos closed out their series with the Meriden Insilcos last night at Meriden with another overwhelming go victory before 1927 paying customers.
 Walt Gathman, the Yale Univer- sity star. blanked the Silver City combine with six hits while his mates collected Is of Big Jack Krauth and Vern Cornell The BrasscoS officially closed their home night season here week ago and will play their final are light con test Of the campaign next Monday night at Fuessenich Park. Torring- ton when they face the Torrington Mems Club. The team will play Sunday afternoon contests later in the season.
 Gathman, in addition to setting down the opposition without run, collected two hits, ore of which started a three-run rally in the third which proved enough for the triumph.
 Three Runs
 Gathman singled to center and hustled to second as Outfielder Jack Callahan momentarilly bobbled the ball Billy Moore then singled to deep short and both scored on Red Sheehans single. Al Cueeinelio lined a sharp single to left to score Shee- han with the third run of the frame
 Krauth, who started against Gathman, matched the young right handler until the seventh when again he was treated roughly. and three more tallies crossed the plate to hike the count to 6-0. Whitey Piurek's single accounted for tive Of the runs in the frame.
 Krauth gave way to Vern Con- nell in the following frame and the former Connecticut University finger gave ED the other pair of runs in the ninth

the MEL made some mistakes in the past 25 years. But we have the benefit of their experience, and are trying to avoid the same pitfalls.
 We have signed the best players We could get, by paying more than the MEL ever paid in the past.
 Rugged Coaching
 We have top coaches in Dr. Nal Stevens of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Red Dawson of the Buffalo Bisons, Dick Hanley of the Chicago Rockets, Paul Brown of the Cleveland Browns, Dudley Degroot of the Los Angeles Dons, Jack Meagher of the Miami Seahawks, Ray Flaherty of the New York Yankees, and Buck Shaw of the San Francisco 49'ers I'm glad I'm not coaching against that lineup; the competition will be ruggedi
 The spirit of cooperation between our clubs is best shown by our double round-robin schedule. which provides for each team to meet each other team home and home. Every city in the conference will get to see Sinkwich, Dobbs, Juzwilk. Hillen- brand, Hirsch, Standlee, Kimbrough. Koslowski, Graham. Special De livery Jones, and dozens of others Of top name stars.
 The MEL points out that only four or five of their clubs ever made money with any consistency. How could the others succeed when the schedule-makers kept the New York Giants in the East for all but one game over seven-year period, or when the Chicago Cardinals were allowed only two home games in one season?
 Another question that comes up a lot is which team do you like?'
 AS dutiful commissioner. I've checked with all of our enthusiastic owners, and I am able to report i that we'll have eight champions The sports world is soon to be privi- leged to witness the first eight-way tie in history

The Case of the Silent Noise" the mystery-thriller dramatization of the experimental aspects of the sciences of "supersonics," will be given during the Sunday, Sept 8 broadcast of Exploring the Un- known" at P, M, over MES. Pro- duced by Sherman H. Dryer, with background music composed by Ar den Cornwall and conducted by Don Bryan, this broadcast will deal with the higher sounds in the air which human cannot hear.
 One of the popular features of the Fred Waring Show these days is the special arrangement of Negro spirituals which the glee club offers on many of the broadcasts. Audi ence response to the singing of these spirituals indicates the tremendous appeal the music holds, and letters come into the Waring office in New York daily praising his treatment of the songs. Two such spirituals which have drawn forth great re- Sponse recently are Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" and Were You There When They Cru cif1ed My Lord?"

Sox slugger said he wasn't satisfied with the .406 he hit in l94l, added that 500 was his goal. When the San Diego kid steps up to the plate, his only thought is to get a base hit and to swat the ball as far as he can. He figures he has to hit the ball well every time up to bat 800, which is why he is hitting 355,
 There are fellows determined to bat 300, and somehow or other they manage to do it.
 "A mental hazard is a frightful handicap. That accounts for the 250 hitter, who always winds up with that figure regardless of how well he gets of in the Spring be- fore the pitchers catch up with him. He has his mind set at .250, and there he is.
 Another trick is leaving the games played behind you. Nothing

L.. QOlllS ally Vll4lIS that I haven't done since I settled into my present stance. which is just a plain ordinary one with both feet in line and facing the plate
 Someone pointed out that l wasn't choking the bat as did last season. Due to reporting late a year ago, I hadn't time to per feet my timing before the season started, so might have choked a little, but very little, assure you. I've always held the bat at the end. IN GROOVE ALL WAYS
 The potent hitter has to have that feeling at the plate. Only the other afternoon, Pee Wee Reese re- marked that he didn't feel natural up there. He's got to get back in the groove; that's 1.-the groove.
 That's where I'm fortunate enough to be at the moment in the groove and in all directions. Some hitters are in the groove when they are pulling the ball to right field, some get into it hitting the ball through the box, others pump ing 1t into left field.
 I'm hitting the ball where it happens to be. The pitch deter mines the direction. If it's outside, I poke the ball into left field If it's inside, I pull it to right.
 That makes them play me straightaway, which happens to be the way you had best have them play you. It scatters the defense, leaves more holes into which base hits may drop. Spraying your hits to all fields is the way to be lucky at bat.
 Mental attitude also plays big role in hitting.

Poland Settles War Debt
In Agreement With Britain
kY the Associated Press

LONDON, June "A British
Polish financial agreement setting
forth terms for settlement Of
Poland's war debt to Britain was
signed yesterday. The occasion was
marked by issuance of a Polish Of
ficials statement denying that
Poland was completely under Rus
sian domination.
THE opinion that Poland does
not wish to or cannot develop her
economic relations in Western
Europe, being too closely linked to
or dependent on the Soviet Union,
is just legend" said E. Drozniak,
chairman of the National Bank of
Poland.
The British Polish financial agree
ment. Mr.. Drozniak said, provides
for Poland to pay for the mainte-
nance. welfare and education of all
Poles in the British Commonwealth
up to June /, 1916. Mr.. Drozniak
explained that 'henceforth Poles
who do not want to return to Poland
will be supported by the British
treasury"
The pact also provides that sl2,-
900, 900 of Polish gold reserves in
Britain will be handed over to help
meet Polish. war debts.
