BASEBALL AIDS 'RECONVERSION' IDEASOF VETS

Chicago, Jan. i6- CUP) = Big league baseball mapped the biggest spring training schedule of its his- tory today, designed to give return. Ing servieemen all the time they want to get the feel of bat and ball again. .
 The first postwar grapefruit circuit will include ls5 games be- tween National and American league teams as the l6 clubs return to their Florida and California training sites for the first timo since l942.
 The American League Service Bureau reported that the eight ju- nior circuit teams would play 8 total of 274 springtime exhibitions, almost POO more than Q year ago and approximately 70 more than the prewar average.
 57 Exhibitions
 In addition to games against Na- tional League teams, the A. L. clubs will play 32 lntra-league contests and 57 exhibitions with mino, leagues, of mostly triple-A ratings, and all-star teams.
 American League teams will swing the entire length of southern states as well as dip into Cuba and Panama. Both Washington and the Boston Red Sox have scheduled games in Havana while the New York Yankees tentatively have ar- ranged a nine game tour of Panama.
 All teams have pointed their schedules to meet the "reconversion" problems of veterans who will be returning to the diamond after ser- vice inactivity.
 The Yankees probably have map ped the most elaborate training programs, splitting their large New York squad into two camps. Mana ger Joe Mccarthy will take charge of the St. Petersburg site, devoted principally to returning veterans, while the Yankees No. 2 camp will be at Bradenton.

Trailing at the end of the first period by eight points and at in- termission by two points meant nothing to the U. s.

In the final stanza the Leemen threw up points against 2 for the visitors.
 Both Petteway and Kuzmenko were brilliant for the locals, toss- ing in eight and six points, re- spectively. Synott. Girdzauskas. and Creedon showed well on the defense while Mike Anastasio, Frank Win- field, Al Ielpi, and Joe Anastasio worked in unison to give the West Haveners a well earned victory.
 The West Haven reserves nipped the Crosby seconds in the preiim, g to IS, with Joe O'Bymachaw tossing in nine points as high scor- CT for the victors.

that the MEL has only the A to buck, while the A has to fight both the MEL and the PCL.
 This fall will be tolfgh on us" said Sullivan. thinking of easing of when the MEL is in town and tack ling the free-spending A the rest of the time.
 But" he admitted, i've don't have to worry too much. The MEL has guaranteed to make up any de- ticit which we suffer"
 That, and the promise of the first two cracks at MEL franchises prom ises plenty of reward. San Francisco would get the first bid and. Sulli- van explained, the Los Angeles and Hollywood franchises of the PCL would be merged to form a MEL Hollywood entry.
 No, We aren't worried" Sullivan said. But what We want to do is start taking in money by the wheel barrow full instead of the bucket full"
 Whether this is another nursery tale. of course. remains to be seen.

NATIONAL HOOP TEAMS TO PLAY. 13-CAME SLATE
By WILLIAM TUCKER United Press Sports Writer

OmAbcu EKcS8 DpOEts WEAtNE
 New York, Jan. i0-CUPD-The marathon meeting of the National football league which threatens to go on and on like the Broadway run of 'Life With Father" found tha worried and weary moguls still try ing to work out a lole schedule to- day-without too much luck.
 The meeting, now in its seventh day, has been extended because of added caution in every move that is made, lest the opportunistlc rivals from the new All-America league capitalize on any mistake.
 That was the principal reason for the complications in drawing up . schedule. Transfer of the champion. ship Cleveland Ram franchise to Los Angeles was not accomplished with out difficulties. The Atlantic Sea- board clubs cannot hope to make the jump to the west coast for less than SSO,0OO ard unless the games draw bumper gate receipts 1t will be c losing proposition.
 For that reason, the owners were attempting to arrange the most ate tractive slate of games possible. hopeful not only of drawing capacity crowds but of outshining the rival Los Angeles club in the All-America loop.
 Skins In Exhibition
 The MEL bosses also stood by anx. iously awaiting word from Los AHi- geles as to whether their request for five Sunday playing dates in the mammoth memorial coliseum had been accepted. The coliseum com mission tabled the application of the Los Angeles club until later meet- ing on Jan. %. The club asked for use of the 103, 1000 seat bowl on Sept 29, Oct. 20, Nov. 10 and 17 and Dee. 8, and revealed that 1t already had a permit to use the stadium on Sept. 6 for an exhibition game against the Washington Redskins.
 At the same time, Lloyd Wright, en attorney representing the All-Amer- ica. Los Angeles club owner, movie actor Don Ameche, asked the Col- iseum commission for five dates when that leagues schedule is prepared. He said he hoped the commission would take no action to give the Ma. tional league exclusive use of the stadium.
 Although National league club owners emphasized that the slate was tentative, 1t appeared that the Los Angeles opponents for the five proposed games would be the Chi. cago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Cni- cago Cardinals, Philadelphia Eagles, and Detroit Lions.
 The Los Angeles National leaguers also sought to sew up the Coliseum for Sunday dates through I9l0, re- questing their choice of five each year between Sept. 1 and Dec. Sl, The commission also tabled action on that request.
 The National league owners had little else left on their agenda and hoped. to adjourn after today,s meets ing, provided the schedule bugs can be smoothed out. Another major complication is the increase to ii games per team per season without extending the playing time which now spreads from early September until mid-December.
