Turf Convention Gets
Proposal 10 SET Up
Board on Disputes
BY the Assoeiofed Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Jan. "a
The idea of a national board to
settle disputes in racing came up
quickly today as the National AS
sociation of State Racing Com
missioners met in it's most crucial
convention since World War II.
President A. S. Drew of Min
den, La, brought up the proposal
which grew out of the efforts of
Jockey Don Meade to get back in
the saddle after five years of exile
from the track.
This is. hot potato" Drew
said. Some people feel it's a
good thing. Others believe it is
crazy idea.
IT don't want to open up any
discussion of it today. I just want
to drop the thought here and
after you have had time to think
it over we'll take it up some time
during the convention.
Meade, suspended by the Mexico
Racing Commission, has an
nounced that he will appear be-
fore the convention some time
this week to appeal for reinstate-
ment.
| Against Appeals Board.
AS customary under present
racing rules. Meade's suspension
in Mexico after a dispute with
track officials was recognized by
all the State commissions affiliated
with the National Association.
Last month. Florida gave him
a probationary license, but the
action aroused such an uproar in
other States that Meade volun-
tarily surrendered it. Out Of this
situation arose the idea of ma
tional board to hear appeals from
such suspensions.
| Drew, in an -the-cuff talk
opening the f1ve-day convention,
indicated he was opposed to an
appeals board. He suggested that
there might be fact finding
board to consider disputes among
norsemen, jockeys and tracks and
make recommendations.
On request by parties involved
in disputes, he said, this board
could take charge and make the
final decisions. If such board is
created, he proposed that 1t be
composed of men who are in
racing for the love of it,
Tracks Could Finance Board.
To finance the board, he said
that each racing commission could
ask tracks in its State to donate
from one race each year the diff
ference between the purse and
the parimutuel take.
Today the convention planned
to elect officers and discuss such
topics as night racing, Off track
betting, nine-race programs and
State revenues. Racing commits
sioners from % States, Cuba, Mex
leo and Canada are attending the
convention, which will adjourn
here Thursday to meet again in
Havana Saturday and Sunday.
On today's program were an
address of welcome by Gov. Fuller
Warren of Florida.

In a statement issued after a

much a part of me that I felt I

He said one of the main factors
in his decision to stay was the

Would Avoid Split League.
Halas wants to continue the
Bears-Packer 31-year-old series,
and also wants to duck the West
Coast trip to play the Los Angeles
Rams and San Francisco Forty
Miners. His proposal. bracketing
the Bears and Packers with the
New York Giants. Redskins. Phila-
delphia Eagles and Pittsburgh
Steelers undoubtedly would be
popular with Eastern fans.
Halas said he didn't want the
NFL teams to jell into two perma-
nent leagues like the major base
ball leagues. He thinks the league,
emphasizing that all IL teams
belong to one and the same league,
should remain fluid in structure.
The Chicago Cardinals, who
would be grouped with the Browns,
Rams. Forty Miners. Detroit and
New York Yanks. are reported to
be opposed to Halas' proposals.
The Cardinals still had a motion
for a round-robin schedule up for
consideration when the meeting
adjourned early today. but Halas
thought he might persuade his
cross-town rivals to see things
his way.
Although accused Of maintain
ing "rule or ruin" attitude, Halas
pointed out that he had been in
pro football 81 years and had
vastly more experience than any
other club owner on such import
ant matters as schedules and pro-
motions.
Bears Need Eastern Contacts.
1.-THE Bears would wither on the
vine If we didn't return East and
maintain the contacts we have in
New York, washington and other
cities" he said.
Halas earlier suggested that the
present Conference memberships
be retained but that the Cardinals
and Browns play two games on
the Coast while the Bears and
Packers played two in the East.
He said he was willing to play
exhibition games on the Coast
and that any agreements made
this year would be only temporary
and any inequalities could be ad-
justed in SO.
Whatever action the owners
take must be approved by 10. For
this reason it seems doubtful that
a round-robin schedule will be
approved as at least three clubs,
including the Redskins, are known
to be opposed. A parliamentary
maneuver to take schedule-mak-
ing powers out of Bells hands,
which would have given round
robin proponents some bargaining
power. was defeated Saturday.
Sunday was not a day of COM
