never seen Joe look better in spring
training games. That he looks
ready to play at top form from
the opening day of the season
should make big difference.
In one game at Sarasota, Di
Maggie did two things that i'm
pressed me considerably. AS I re-
call it, the score was tied at 3 to 8
going into the seventh inning.
Big Joe opened the Yanks' half
Of the inning with a single. Yogi
Berra pulled a sharp single to
right.
Likes Joe's Regained Speed.
Di Maggie wasn't running with
the pitch. It wasn't q hit-and-
run play. But when he saw Berra's
single going into right field he
set sail for third. And with a
beautiful slide he beat a perfect
throw by Al zarilla into third
base.

NBA May Cut League e
To 10 or Z Teams;
Anderson Drops Out
By the Assoeioisd Press

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE
Anderson Packers have dropped
out Of the National Basketball AS
sociation. which may be stream
lined next year into a two-division
circuit of 10 or IL teams.
President Maurice Podoloff, an
nouncing an important meeting
in Chicago, April "a, termed the
17-team league that operated dur
ing the past season, "unwieldy"
and impractical"
The spraWling professional cir
cult. which year ago incorpo-
rated the Basketball Association
OF America and the National
League. had three divisions during
the past campaign.
Anderson got out after asking
the NBA to give the Packers the
same number Of games with each
member Of the league.
Clubs Must Post Guarantees.
The NBA Executive Committee,
which met here yesterday, said it
was impossible to meet these con-
ditions. So the league bought
the Anderson franchise and then
tunked it.
Ike Duffey, owner, had offered
the franchise to the Anderson
Packers Civic Association and this
group was in the process of SELL
ing season tickets for the 1901
season when the rug was yanked.
The Executive Committee ruled
that each team in the NBA which
plans to 60 to the barrier next
season must post $4,000 within
a week.
This order OF cash on the line
may, in itself. reduce the circuit
to more commodious proportions.
ing.
Podolon, however. refused to
discuss possible cutbacks. Out
side Of Anderson. none Of the
other teams showed an inclina-
ton to pull out.
College Draft to Be Held.
Syracuse and Minneapolis are
now engaged in the championship
playon series. best -of-seven set
tied at ii. The next game is
Friday at st. Paul.
Podolon said the annual college
draft would be held at the Chi
cago meeting and some DISPOSE
tion would be made OF Anderson
players.
Among the leading players who
will be dealt other members are
Frank Brian. Bill Gloss. Charlie
Black, John Hargis and Milo Ko-

these days. Organized labor has
protested for years that the In
dex did not truly reflect living
costs.
On April 5, BIS announced
it was collecting retail price data
on about 110 food items now
absent from the index. The prices
will be collected as part of a
Congressionally directed revi-
sion of the index, the bureau ex-
planned.
Among the new items BIS
will include are frozen foods,

C anne d baby foods, prepared
flour mixes, perishable fruits and
vegetables, beer, wine and whis-
key. The bure will watch
prices on these items for the
next 18 months to see how they
affect the cost of living. The
Index is being revised so that
it will reflect more clearly what
consumers are buying today"
Present index items include
meats, poultry, fish, dairy pro-
ducts, sugar, fruits, vegetables,
bakery products, cereals, fats and
oils. They are priced periodical
ly in 56 large cities. Also in the
index are apparel, housefurnish-
ings, rent, fuel and miscellaneous
goods and services.
The Cpl currently bases itsI
findings on goods and services
