Third Major Loop Discussed
By National, American Heads
Coast Has. Possibilities In
10 Years But Not Now
Says Observers

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3.-R-
bosses, from top to bot
tom, milled and milled in hotel
lobbies or holed up in meetings
Tuesday preliminary to the big ma
tional gathering Thursday when an
historical chapter may be added
to the sport but more likely will
not.
Whether the National and Ameri-
can league executives will accede
to the demand of the Pacific Coast
league for recognition as a third
major circuit appeared impossible.
Coast loop directors, renewing a
request made a year ago, were
prepare to press for action. They
passed a resolution Monday fol-
presentation to the heads of the
two big leagues.
Parity is sought by the present
Triple "a" league in an effort
to eliminate the draft by which
many of It's star hired hands are
vulnerable. As a partial conces-
sion, the majors boosted the draft
price from $500 to $10,0 900 at the
last meeting. The Coast people
also consider themselves grown to
major league stature now in view
of the population migration to the
West.
Opinions on this matter were al
variance, however. The general
sentiment indicated the belief the
Coast loop eventually will become
a third major league-within the
next ten years. Doubt was ex
pressed the time is ripe now.
It was held likely that the
majors, in view of requested recog-
milton, would offer such concessions
as overhauling of the major-minol
leagues and agreement to give the
Coast circuit iron clad territorial
rights. At present, a big league
team can invade the coast area by
payment of $4,000, plus certain
other indemnities to the league
proper.
The major-minor leagues agree
ment as we'll as the rules govern
ing baseball conduct are up fol
renewal at this meeting, importan
items on the agenda. A numb,1
of amendments and proposed rules
changes will be offered for con
sideration.
Speculation centered on thu
anticipated retirement of w. G
Bramham, of Durham, N. c., presl
dent of the National association o
Professional Baseball leagues.
Not yet officially announced
Bramham's decision to vacate tn
most he has held since 1882 wa
looked for momentarily. He wa
honored at a testimonial Dime
Tuesday night.
The veteran baseball man, as
sociated with the sport for SO years
has confirmed his desire to go OF
the retired list, although his tern
still has two years to run. Th'
state of his health is the sole rea
! son.
While not publicly a candidat
for the important position, Georg
kaufman, executive vice presl
dent of the Detroit Tigers, gener
ally was conceded to have tn
inside track. He has the announce
support Of the American associa
ton and through major league con
nections probably would influenc
the vote of many other mlno
leagues.

MELODY LANE
By Roland C. Irving

Hi, Folks: Before starting down
 Melody Lane," I want to stop by the office and extend my con- gratulations to George Goodman, on his appointment as editor of cur popular and fast growing weekly, The Hartford CHRON- ICLE. Finding him and Johnny Stewart, associate editor, busy at typewriters and telephones, so l just say hello, shake hands, grab my press card and cut-out to nose in on "Anna Lucasta" and her family troubles at Bushnell Mem oria1. My press card puts me Orchestra F, just six rows from the stage, and what view = what a show! Typical life of a family, having a daughter with a typical 'Fine Brown Frame" " My column will hardly permit me to carry on too far, so I'll cut here, saying Ruby Dee as "An- na," did fine job, fully backed with the cooperation of the en- tire cast. All were new to me ex- cept Laura Bowman and Frank Wilson, the mamma and pappa of the Iucasta family. Among those enjoying the performance, I spotted MT. and Mrs. Sidney M. Johnson, Mrs. Jessie Washington, Freddie (Chappy) Chappelle, home on leave from the Navy; Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Register, Mrs. Foote, Mrs. Gene Richards, and Tom (Specks) Woods. A very mixed audience was on hand to welcome Anna"
 Clyde Board and his orchestra travelled to Meriden the other mite to swing out at the City Hall I am told that Clyde has nice outfit. Good luck, fel- lers!
 James (Esquire) Perkins, bet ter known to Hartford's young futtering hearts as "Perk," is slowly making up his mind to brush up on the tenor sax, so he can join one of our brass bands around town. That is, if the f1uttering hearts will permit him to do so. If you get what l mean.

 He has been adjutant five years and service officer two years, and is well informed as to what aid can be secured for veterans, their families and dependents.

Ex-Wife's $4,000 Suit
For DAMAGES Given Jury

The suit in which Mrs. Mary P
Sisson, IS, beauty shop employe,
is asking for $4,000 damages on a
charge that her former husband
Roy L. Wilson, 48. Veterans Ad-
ministration finance officer station
ed in California, falsely represented
to her that previous marriage of
his had been dissolved, went to a
jury today in District Court.
Mrs. Sisson in her testimony yes
terday for the second time denied
that she had kicked Mr.. Wilson, as
he previously had testified at the
trial.
In May, 1915, Mrs. Sisson was
awarded an annulment of her 1899
marriage to Mr.. Wilson. At that
time the court permitted her to
resume her former name of Mrs.
Sisson. Mr.. Wilson had married
Mrs. Sisson after obtaining only a
limited divorce from a former wife.
At the time, he thought he obtained
an absolute divorce and was free to
marry again, he testified. Mrs.
Sisson lives in the 1900 block of
Kilbourne place NV.

6. |. Berry, President
0fPressmen, Charged
With Tax Evasion
By the Assoe;oted Pres.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 49,
George L. Berry, former Senator
from Tennessee and for the last 80
years president of the international
Printing Pressmen's Union, was
charged yesterday with owing the
Federal Government more than
$500 in income taxes for the years
1882 40-4l.
In a three-count indictment made
public by United States Attorney
Horace Frierson, Mr.. Berry was ac-
cused of attempting to defeat and
evade" a large part of the income
tax due the Government by filing
false and fraudulent" returns for
those years.
The district attorney said Mr.
Berry, who lives at the pressmens
home headquarters of the union
posted 5000 bond yesterday with
United States Commissioner H. M.
Barnett at Knoxville pending his
appearance here for trial at the term
OF court opening next September.
Denies He Committed Error.
In a telegram last night to a
Chattanooga member of the Press
mems Union, Mr.. Berry said that
with references to the Nashville in
cident there is nothing substantial
about it except perhaps some news
paper comment which will, of course,
be embarrassing. Nothing will be
done in connection with the matter
until November"
Il wish to assure you that an er-
ror has been committed and not by
me-" he asserted. The amount in
volved is for 1889 in the insignifi-
cant amount of $2,700 and it relates
solely to an expense account that is
perhaps conservative as any reason
able man could expect.
Moreover, be sure there are no
union funds involved in the matter.
l may say, too, am confident this
matter would have been settled ex-
cept for the attitude of a combina =
ton columnist and radio COM
mentator in Washington"

ing after the death of Nathan L
Bachman. He served until the 1895
election, losing his seat to Senator
Stewart.
In addition to the Senate, Mr.
Berry served on a number of Federal
