 New York, Jan. IS - (UP) - Bunts and puntS on the sports scene:
 The tickliSh situation faced by professional football as result of the player salary war between the Ma tional League and All-America Conference is voiced unhappily by Coach Greasy Neale of the Phila- delphia Eagles.
 Greasy was forced to okay re- ported $l5,OO0 salary to hold Steve Van Buren, the Eagles league leading ground gainer, who had re. ceived such an offer from an AA eleven. .,
 And that's more than I make" groaned Greasy, who pulls down a measly $l2,5O0.
 Can You Spare . Dime
 And with that club to hold over the owners heads, all the salaries are going up. The Eagles reportedly had to raise the ante to keep Tackle Al Wistart and Halfback Jack Hin- kle brother, can you spare @ dime
 None of which seems to bother old Tim Mara of the Giants, the white haired former gambling man who still likes a battle.
 Back in the old days we had football opposition and there was team playing in Yankee Stadium" :" Mara explained about his red-ink years. well, I'd climb up in the Polo Grounds tower and look over at Yankee Stadium with a pair ot binoculars. Then I'd tell Charley Stoneham: They ain't drawing anybody over there - either Mara seems to think this brawl is

 Oh, Poor Mack
 Bulletin - The PhillieS have a fan. He is Sgt. Victor L. (Mack) McGinnis, currently sweating it out at Camp Atterbury, Ind. Mack writes that 'by the 1950's the lowly PhilS are going to be known as the Mighty Phils, and the champion PhilS when they go to work in a coming world series" I should live So long, Mack but oh how Herb Pennock must love that man.
 The deacon of Flatbush, old Bre'r Branch Hickey, announces in his usual few thousand well-chosen words today that the Brooklyn Dodgers will have 150 players in their Sanford, Fla, training camp during February. There will be 30 on the faculty
 The professor also announced that Bill Killefer, the old time Phillies and Cubs catcher, has been signed as a coach.
 NyIOn Grid Pants
 Due to the flood of key players returning from service in time for Spring training, the Boston Red Sox are beginning to crowd the Yankees as American League favorites. With such aces as Ted Williams, Tex Hughson, Bobby Doerr and Johnny Pesky returned, the Bosox might well make Tom Yawkey's dreams come true but
 They're also saying that Dave Ferris, 22-game winner for the Sox in l94S, may be the Bill Voiselle of 1946, Bill you'll remember, was a 20-game winner as rookie the year before, and got plenty of Jumps last season observers point out the trouble Ferriss had late in the year and figure maybe he's due for bruises
 And listen, girls, this nylon situ- ation looks worse all the time. The football fashion plates are crowd ing you now. The latest thing in gridiron finery will be lightweight nylon football pants and jersies. The pants weigh six ounces compared with the old pants that bulked to two pounds worth lay that pis- tol down, babe"

BIeachers for Arm0ry Requested by COstigan

Plans for professional basketball to be played in waterhury's State Armory on Field street were given some optimism yesterday with the decision of the Park Board to name committee Go review the request.
 A request to rent the bleachers from the city was entered today by Major J. Peter Costisan in behalf of the State Guard Association and Thomas J. Wagner, promoter of the basketball plans with the Board. Names to the committee are Park Supt. James J. Curtin, Atty. James M. Lynch and Thomas r. Moore.
 Profits from these games will be rendered to the State Guards rec- reational fund, Mir. Wagner said. The YMCA also is interested in using the Armory three nights Q week.
 It has not been permisSive here- tofoHe for the city to rent its bleachers out to private interests. The request for the present rental having been forwarded through the State Guard may offset this prohi- bition. The bleachers are those now in use at the Municipal Stadium. They will again be used by the city on April 1. Both Major Costigan and MT. Wagner assured Park ofti. cials yesterday that the basketball season would be ended by that time.
 Major Costigan pointed out that a military organization can rent the Armory for $40 a night while civ- ilian unit would have to pay Sl50 plus insurance.
 Attendance at the arnlory is now limited to about 1000 because of regulations made after the Hart for circus fire. MT. Costigan said. He said that it is planned to install four new exits soon which will lift the attendance limit to $500.
