Speeiol pispoteh to The Stor

NEW YORK. April 3O.-Having
disposed of their 1946 schedule,
National Football League owners
were able to turn a full and in
dignant glare on the rival All-Ameri-
can Conference today in winding up
their latest confab.
Item No. l, was a new, iron-clad
player contract proposed by George
Marshall, Washington Redskin presi-
dent, guaranteed to prevent anybody
from crawling, much less jumping,
to the rival organization. 1t is a
radical departure from the standard
document, which won't hold water
in court, and when a player puts
his John Henry on it he practically
agrees "'till death de we part"
The new contract is modelled after
those to which Marshall signed
Sammy Baugh, Steve Bagarus and
other top-fight stars. These papers
more or less amount to personal
agreements. 1t was drawn up by
one of the country's outstanding
legal minds, redrafted after a con-
ference with other attorneys, and is
guaranteed to be foolproof and
alright. Marshall has sold most
Of the owners on the idea and it is
expected to be adopted with little

A review OF the 1856 indoor
boxing season in Washington gives
evidence aplenty that as soon as the
expected postwar boom in boxing ar
rives the customers are ready to give
it cash-on-the line support. The
boom in customers already is on, in
fact, it remains only for the caliber
of fights and fighters to catch up
with it.
Promoter Joe Turner and Match
maker Gabe Menendez put on the
last fight of the indoor season last
night with the Jimmy McGriff-
Tommy Mills card and now can look
back on what Menendez unqualifi-
edly calls "the best season in arena
history" And it was just that for
the Turner plant. The other club
operating here. Liberty A. c. at
Uline Arena, didn't do as we'll as
hoped for, being beset with picket
ing troubles much of the time, but
the hackers of this outfit didn't
starve.
wv A~SSo ~A6 hAssA 0NshOns
As a sample of how willing the
customers are to lay it on the line
for boxing, there were six turnaway
shows at Turner's this winter with
every nook and Granny packed with
cash customers and more outside
waving greenbacks in futile efforts
to get in. Bee Bee Washington was
the big drawing card, being respon-
sible for five OF the six sellouts.
The other was credited to Archie
Moore, Jimmy Johnston's undepend-
able, but exceptionally talented
light-heavyweight, who drew the
Turner's Arena all-time high of
$500 customers for $6,43o.32 gross
gate. He put on one of the shortest
fights of the winter, too, stopping
Georgia Parks in 2:20 of the first
round.
Smallest gate at Turner's was for
the McGriff Domingo Russell fight
on a cold, windy and rainy night.
And the biggest disappointment for
fight fans here was the poor show
ing of AL Hoosman, who won I'M
Madison Square Garden and got a
terrific buildup for fight here, then
got cuffed around while hardly rails
ing his hands against Colon CLANCY

Public Links Easy on Golfers
Pocketbook Planned by Vet

FeSSenden was a salesman before
entering the service and he feels he
has something to sell in golf course
for persons of small income. Here
are some of the innovations he
would incorporate in his layout:
l. Surplus Army vehicles to trans
port players from the end of the
public transportation line to his
course.
2. No elaborate clubhouse facl-
tiles. Fessenden says he could "get
along with a shack or even lean
to" while the membership is growing
3. A small monthly membership
fee that would be no larger than
the average gas or light BILL
4. Provisions for selling equipment
on a cooperative basis at little more
than cost.
5. A "child-minding" service run
by Mrs. Fessenden that would enable
members to park the offspring anG
enjoy their game without worry.
These are just a few of the ad-
vantages of this "everyman's" links.
FeSSenden has been storming the
town trying to put over his ideas and
isn't worried about the discourage
ment he receives from conservative
sources. He knows he has thousands
OF frustrated local golfers backing
him up and sooner or later will sell
his plan.

Stainback, Ex-Yankee
.0utfieIder, May GET
Bid From Griffmen
By Burton Howkins

Snap back with Stainback" may
be the Mats slogan, although Presi-
dent Clark Griffith confesses that
George (Tuck) Stainback, uncondi-
tionally released by the Yankees
represents no cure for the Mats
headaches. The right-handed hit
ting outf1elder may be offered a
Washington contract and if he ac-
cepts it he will be used principally
as pinch hitter.
A veteran OF IL years in the mai jor
leagues with the Chicago Cubs,
Brooklyn, st. Louis Cards, Philadel-
phia Phillies, Detroit and the Yam
KEGS, Stainback is 80 years old and
batted .257 last season. He can t
break into our outfleld," says Griffith
although we possibly could use him
occasionally against right-handed
pitching"
Griff to Consult BIuegS.
Griffith was to huddle with Man.
ager Ossie Bluege today concerning
the advisability of obtaining Stain
back. Bluege previously had ex-
pressed interest in Stainback chiefly
because he swings a bat right
handed and in him Ossie visions a
more acceptable pinch-hitter than
the Mats currently have at their
command.
Johnny Lindell, powerful Yankee
reserve outflelder, has been the OBJ
ject of Grif1th's affections but thus
far New York officials have been re-
luctant to include him in trade talks.
They want to talk me out of a
pitcher" admits Griffith, but I've
told them when they're willing to
talk about Lindell we'll get serious" ="
Still sought by the Mats, too, is
Third Baseman Bill johnson and
when he emerges from the service
discussions will be intensified, but
Griffith processes there is little hope
of landing Shortstop Vernon Steph-
ems of the st. Louis Browns.
Would Step on Chisox.
Meanwhile the Mats were hoping
to climb at the expense of the
White Sox, with the immediate am
bition of creating a sixth place tie
today with a victory over Chicago.
Bluege was to dispatch Ray Scar
borough to the mound, with the
White Sox expected to counter with
Bill Dietrich.
The return of Mickey Vernon to
first base has bolstered the Mats,
but Griffith says Washington still
is unsettled in pitching and catch
ing departments and that left field
still constitutes a problem. George
Binks currently is established as the
Mats left fielder, but should he COL
lapse Bluege plans to insert Rookie
Gil Coan in right field and shift
Buddy Lewis to left.
At Griffith Stadium for single
games today and tomorrow, the
White Sox will be followed here by
st. Louis, Cleveland and Detroit.

Griff Denies Baseball Union
Charge of Coercinq Players

Denying he has attempted to 'in-
timidate and coerce players from
exercising their rights of self or
ganization," President Clark Grif-
fifth OF the Washington baseball
club today said, II never have
talked to my players one way or the
other about a baseball union, and
won't"
Griffith branded as ridiculous"
the charges of the American Base
ball Guild that he had attempted
to counsel and urge" his players
against joining the guild. IF a
player wants to go into that sort
of thing that's his business" said
Griffith. Il haven't talked to any
players about joining a union"
MY only comments on the guild
were in news interview, in which
I defended the reserve clause that
prevents players from jumping from
one team to another. 1 still defend
it as the only way baseball can
operate successfully"
Fact Finding Probe Set.
Meanwhile Ross M. Madden, di-
rector of the Fifth Region National
Labor Relations Board, said that an
investigation had been ordered ito
find out the facts" in the American
Baseball Guild charges of unfair
labor practices against the Wash
1ngton club, the Associated Press
reported from Baltimore, where
charges were filed.
Action of the guild, announced
at Boston yesterday by Director Rob-
ert Murphy, was the first move
against any club to unionize pro-
fessional baseball players. The case
was filed in Baltimore, Mr.. Madden
said, and added that he was uncer-
tain when the investigation would
begin, or how long it would con-
tinue. He said the progress of the
probe would not be disclosed until
the board was ready to make its
decision.

door against a football world series
with the all-America by reaffirming
their stand against postSeason games
and a blunt, fortnight blast at the
new circuit was expected to come
out of today's session.
It was bruited about, but not
confirmed, of course, that plan
is afoot to WOO at least one fran
chise away from the al-America-
one of its bulwarks, and to kill
interest in the Arch Ward-inspired
loop by playing so much football in
another city the customers will get
weary of it. The latter could be only
Los Angeles, where no less than
five pro teams will operate this year,
counting Pacific Coast League
elevenS.
Rufus Klawans, Pacific Coast
prexy and a driving force behind
the move to set up football with
Commissioner Bert Bell occupying
the same position in the grid world
that Happy Chandler has in the dia-
mond game, was heard last night
but action was deferred. The Ma
tional League owners are sympa-
thetic with the idea but want the
minors more completely organized
before making any move. The Ma
tional already has a working agree
ment with the Pacific Coast, Dixie
and American Leagues and big
league teams have a dozen or more
farms scattered among them.
Title Game in East.
The championship playoff game
will be staged December IS on the
Eastern representatives field and in
case of a tie the sudden death" sys-
tenn will be invoked to determine the
winner. That means the team
scoring first after the regulation go
minutes will get the crown.
The Los Angeles formerly Cleve-
land) Rams will play f1ve games on
their home lot and hit the road for
their remaining six, coming East to
duel Boston and New York. The
New York-Boston game on Septem-
Der 80 will be a night affair, while
the Boston-Detroit game at Detroit
will be played Thanksgiving morning.
Washington will open its regular
season against the Pittsburgh Steel
ers at Griffith Stadium on Septem-
ber 20. Detroit and New York visit

F|oundering As Buy
Derry From Yankees
By the Associated Pr.ss


PHILADELPHIA, April 30
Eighty -three-year-old Connie Mack
admits disappointment in his 1916
edition of the. Athletics and an
nounces. I'm willing to buy good
players but I want to be sure they
are better than what I have now
Meantime, the AS announced pur-
chase of Outfelders Russ Derry from
the Yankees for $500.
The AS have won only two of this
seasons IL starts.
Mack, manager of the AS for the
past 40 years, says he's still hopeful
the team will get out of the dumps
There isn't player on my team
who shouldn't be batting over $50
Yet most of them aren't even close
to that mark" he said.
Evening star., 1946-04-30

If there has been a violation and
we have the jurisdiction, we will try
to settle the case" Mr.. Madden
said in explaining the NLRB pro-
cedure. IF we can't settle the case,
it will go to hearing. If the case
has no merit, we will try to get the
union to withdraw the charges, and
If it doesn't We will dismiss the
case"
Earle X. Shaw. regional NLRB
attorney in Baltimore, told the As
ISOLATED Press that the question of
jurisdiction must be determined.
"The board must determine" he
said, whether the Washington base
ball club is in commerce within
the meaning of the NLRB Act"
Informed of Griffith's statement
in Boston, Mr.. Murphy told the
Associated Press, I'm not in the
least interested in what Griffith has
to say. He now has the opportunity
to be heard at a National Labor
Relations Board hearing. If Grifflth
wasn't accustomed to popping off
we'd have no reason for such a
hearing"
The Charges As Filed.
The charges filed by Mr.. Murphy,
listed as Case No. 5C-208l" asserted:
"On or about April, 1916, the
Washington American League Base
ball Club, Inc, did, by its officers,
agents and servants, and more par
ticularly by Clark C. Griffith, its
president, make statements derog-
atory to the American Baseball
Guild, labor organization within
the meaning of section 2, subsection
5, OF the National Labor Relations
Act: did counsel and urge the play
ers of said club against joining the
guild and, further, did make state
ments calculated to intimidate and
coerce the players on the club from
exercising their rights to self-organ-
ization. to join or assist the guild or
any other labor organization.
