Pro Cagers' Merger
Expected "Wednesday
Al New York Session
. BY the Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 1.-The
National Basket Ball League and
Basket Ball Association of Amer
lea today were reported near
agreement on a merger that would
end costly bidding for college
stars.
The big cities of the BAA and
the smaller communities of the
older NBL will meet in New York
Wednesday TO try to agree on de-
tails.
Ike Duffey, NBL president and
wealthy Anderson, Ind. meat
packer, said the oft-proposed mer-
ger was nearer reality than ever
before after an NBL meeting here
Saturday.
He said it had to come sooner
or later, or both leagues will be
ruined"
Hammond, md. of the NBL has
been conducting a civic campaign
to raise money to keep its team
going after a financially bad 1948-
40 season. Providence. R. l., of
the BAA has asked that its fran
chise be suspended temporarily.
Indianapolis of the BAA is in re-
ceivership.
NEGOTIATING More Than Year.
The leagues have fought each
other with increased bitterness
since Indianapolis, Minneapolis
and Fort Wayne bolted from the
NBL to BAA in May, 1948.
The scramble for college stars
reached a climax with bidding for
seniors from the University OF
Kentucky's NCAA champions last
spring. The NBL pulled a fast
one by putting the boys in business
for themselves as new Indiana
polls team, the Olympians. 1t also
snatched hugh Butler Fieldhouse
away from the lottery Indiana
polls BAA team.
There. were complications in
Olympian plans due to the fact
that All-America Center Alex
Groza of Kentucky had signed
contracts with both leagues.
Aside from the Indianapolis
situation, the leagues also had to
agree on the number of teams that
could be absorbed by one COM
bined loop, expected to be called
National Basket Ball Associa-
ton"
Podoloff May Head Coop.
President Maurice Podoloff OF
BAA has said he felt that the pres
ent 10 teams (not counting Provi-
dence and Hammond) would be
too unwieldly in one circuit. He
was not available last night, but
a BAA spokesman said the junior
loop thought IA teams would be
enough. The proposal repeatedly
was approved by NBL members
Tri- Cities, Anderson, indianapolis,
Oshkosh, Syracuse and Denver.

An NBL member VINE did not
want to be quoted said the plan
was to make Podoloff president of

He also was a member Of Pres

in the South. Because of his ef-
forts in behalf of minorities, he
recently received the first award
of the Sidney Hillman Memorial
