| With Cleveland
| As Base Coach
By the Assoeiatsd Press

CLEVELAND, Jan. 20.-Al
Simmons. former slugging out
fielder for the Philadelphia
Athletics. was signed as coach
today by the Cleveland Indians.
President Ellis w. Ryan of
the Tribe said I'VE believe that
AL may supply the spark which
the team lacked last season.
Hes a fine third base coach
and also may be able to help
our hitters. He certainly did
pretty well in that department
himself"
Simmons, who was released
as coach by the Athletics at the
end of last season, is spending
the winter In Hot Springs, Ark.
He will report when the Indians
open training at Tucson, Ariz.,
on March l..
Ryan said the contract was
for one year. He added that it
was uncertain whether Manager
Lou Boudreau would use him as
first base or third base coach.
He will increase the Tribes
coaching staff to four. The other
members are Mel Harder. Oscar
Melillo and Muddy Ruel.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 90
Track fans should get a fairly
good idea tonight whether foreign
runners are going to dominate
the middle distance events in the
winter indoor meets as they did
a year ago.
A pair of Swedes-Erik Ahlden
and Ingvar Bengtsson-and Cas-
ton Reiff of Belgium had things
pretty much their own way in the
1948 banked board competition.
Now it is Ireland's John Barry
and Sweden's ALT Holmberg. They
are the headliners in the featured
mile race of the Inquirer's sixth
annual meet at Convention Hall
tonight.
Both came through with vic
tories in their American debuts.

It'll be their first start on the

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20.-The
National = American Football
League will operate as a 13-team
organization, the club owners de-
cided today.
A full session of the league here
defeated by a voice vote motion
to increase the number of fran
chiseS to IA. The motion was Of
fered by George P. Marshall,
president of the Washington Red
skins, and seconded by Abe Wat
ner, head of the Baltimore Colts
A unanimous vote would have
been necessary for it's passage.
Can't Agree on Schedule.
BY it's action, the sessions turned
down the applications of Buffalo
N. Y; Houston, Tex, and Oakland
Calf, for membership.
Bert Bell, commissioner of the
NAIL, said the club owners were
unable to agree on a 14-team
schedule.
The league still plans to operate
in Eastern and Western divisions
with Baltimore the swing team
Grouping in divisions was to be
discussed again this afternoon
He expressed doubt that the
owners would reach an agreement
at this session. He feels he even
tually will have to make the de-
cision.
Action Comes as Surprise.
The announcement came as q
surprise. Yesterday after eight
hours of deliberation, the owners
through the commissioner-in-
dicated strong desire to include
Buffalo in the new league.
Bell said that nobody was op-
posed to Buffalo. providing a salts
factory schedule could be worked
out"
Apparently that wasn't possible
and as a result Buffalo didn't
make the grade.
The meeting adjourned shortly
after the commissioner initia
announcement. Then Bell held g
lengthy press conference.
"It's pretty hard to get unani-
nous vote of 13 members on any
thing" he said.
Houston Plea Presented.
The problem of divisional align
ments, plus the fact that few own
ers apparently know how the
swing team would fare financially,
brought on yesterdays drawn-out
discussion. Bell emphasized that
it was one of the most pleasant
pro football meetings he ever hac
presided over, but that none o1
the owners wanted to vote on tht
14th team until sure of theh

Brothers, After Title
Scrap, Will Be Tested
By Weinberg Tonight

Heavyweight Elkins Brothers of
Washington takes on another
giant killing job tonight when he
boxes Big Bill Weinberg of Chel-
sea-, Mass, in the Liberty A. C.s
10-round main event battle at
Uline Arena. The District Negro
will weigh in at around 1875 against
215 for Weinberg. but Brothers
gives no indication the 20-pound
weigh difference is bothering him.
Brothers is counting on his
speed and boxing skill to cut the
big Massachusetts, heavyweight
down to size. The Washington
boy just doesn't intend to lose
this one. He wants a title fight
with Ezzard Charles, thinks he
has as much right to it as any
body and his manager, John
Carter. Is willing to put up a $685.
900 guarantee to prove 1t.
First, though, Brothers must
win couple of fights and he in
tends to start with Weinberg to-
night. For his part the Washington
boys aims to make an interesting
battle of it anyway. He doesn't
mind mixing freely with the big
boys as he showed by taking on
Pat Comisky and Arturo Godoy
last summer. He drew against Co.
minsky and lost a split to Godoy.
Weinberg has fair recent rec
ord. He knocked out Joe Muscato
last year, boxed draw against
Abel Cestac and stuck around for
10 rounds in a no-decision ex-
hibition against Joe, Louis.
The six-round senifinal brings
together Julian Keene, District
middleweight, and Chief Red Ar
row of Oklahoma City. Another
six has Garland Edwards and Wal
ter Rowan in another middle
weight fuss, while the opening
four at $3.50 pm. is between Heavy
weights Ben Harrison and James

plea for a franchise in that
city, but Buffalo's enthusiasm and
cash on hand evidently carried
more weight. Mccarthy, however,
gave out reams of vital statistics
to bolster his argument for a
Houston franchise, and also ex-
hibited an architects drawing of
a 110,000-capacity covered stadi-
um which he planned to build if
Houston had admitted to the
league. He departed for New York
Immediately after addressing the
club owner.
The plan which the owners
worked on looked like this:
A team would play home and
home series with four teams in
it's own division one game with
fifth team in its own division;
two contests against a pair Of
swing teams, and one meeting
with traditional rival.
A swing team is one that plays
every other team in both divisions
once.
Before last nights session,
when sentiment developed strong
ly for Buffalo, Bell had an
nounced the owners were discuss
ing the possibility of a league
with ID or even Is teams.
One of Buffalo's staunchest
supporters was Jim Breuil, presi-
dent of the Bills last year and
who joined forces with Arthur
McBride's Cleveland Browns. Glenn
Grove, who left the Bills to as
sumo the head coaching job with
the Baltimore Colts when it
seemed Buffalo had no chance Of
getting into the league, also sup
ported his old club.
