Chinese, Non-Nisei Barred from Play
In NOrth-SOuth Nisei Basketball Series

, SAN FRANCISCO Calf. Dec 16
Chinese and other nom isei will
be limited in the future to two for
any team in the Southern California
NAU but these non -Nisei will be
barred from competing in the
North-South series, it was an
nounced this week by the sc NAU
board of control.
1t was reported that this action,
according to the Nichi Bel Times
was taken following "tactful" pro-
Test from Northern California last
year after the visit north by the
Nisei Trading team which included
Jerry Chan, high-scoring forward.
The South team CNisei Trading) lost
the title match.
This new move will mean that
all-Chinese teams are now barred
from sc NAU competition Sew
eral years ago the Wah Kues won
the title and Travelled north for the
annual series as the Southland Nj
sci" champions.
sc NAU leaders said their lea
que has been carrying on with an
idea of affording athletes and
wOuld-be athletes of japanese an
cestry the opportunity of competi-
tive recreation and is basically a
closed league.
They said the Northern Califor-
mans held thai since the two lea
que winners we're meeting for the
state Nisei title, the game should be
limited to Nisei
After much elaboration the SC
NAU's decision was announced by
Hide Kunitomi of the groups board
of control in the following state
ment
ct was reluctantly decided in the
interest of the North South cage
series that the NAU exclude Chi
nese (Orientals of other than Japa-
nese ancestry from such playoffs.
II is with regret that the NAU takes
this action in view of the fact that
they have been allowed to partici-
pate in our program in the past on
equal footing
THE NAU feels that this is not a
matter of prejudice. but rather a
stand that it must take if NAU is
to continue the series on an AMIGA
BILE basis
ANY team in the league may use
two such players. but in the event
that such team wins the champ
iOnship these players will not be
permitted to take part in the Sc
ries."
At meetings held last month the
NC NAU managers voted to bar
non-Nisei from league competition
in the future with the exception of
those who have been playing with
member teams They will be per-
mitted to play in the "A" league

Plans for TV Gome-of-Duy

ST. LOUIS. Feb. IA dis
gruntled yet optimistic Bill Veeck
believes the Cleveland Indians
and New York Yankees are ''at-
tempting to coerce somebody"
with their latest radio television
edicts that keep his st. Louis
Browns under wraps when they
play the two clubs.
The latest st. Louis brownout
popped up yesterday when both
the Indians and Yankees an
nounced there would be no RAJ
dio or TV coverage of their games
with st. Louis-either at home or
on the road.
It was Veeck who opened the
Skirmish earlier with his an
nouncement that Browns games
would not be televised when they
were on the road unless they
were cut in on the TV receipts.
New York. Cleveland and Boston
vetoed Weeks plan and dropped
ST. Louis from their home night
schedules.
Boston already has made a
reciprocal agreement on radio
broadcasts with the Browns and
is not involved in the new squab-
BILE that will cancel A radio
descriptions of Brownie games.
Cleveland announced it felt
television and radio rights should
be handled the same way-if no
TV, then no radio.
Veeck. who says he thinks the
Indians and Yanks will Change
their minds before the season
opens" maintains radio and
television are separate mediums
and should be treated accord
ingly. He points out that the
National League recognizes the
difference.
To offset the st. Louis void,
Cleveland said it hopes to bring
it's fans at least II TV versions
OF Tribe games in other Ameri-
can League cities and substitute
other American League radio
broadcasts when they meet st.
Louis.

CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-An over
whelming majority of Newspaper
and radio sports reporters pick
Kid Gavilan to retain his crown
in tonight's welterweight title
bout with Chuck Davey at Chi
cago Stadium.
An Associated Press poll of 80
sportswriterS and sportscaSters
assigned to the bout shows 80
votes for Gavilan, only six for
the undefeated southpaw chal-
lenger.
Twenty -one of those favoring
Gavilan thought the Kid would
score a knockout or technical
knockout.
Chicago has been host to only
two welterweight title bouts in
the past. In 1882 Jackie Fields
defeated Lou Broulliard and in
1851 Johnny Bratton licked
Charlie FuSari. In each case,
the winner became the new
champion.
The Cuba kid weighed 70
pounds and was IL years old
when he had his first amateur
fight. He got the worst lick
ing Of his life-from his mother
when he returned home. In
one Of his early pro fights in
Cuba he walked miles to reach
the gym, carried his own ring
ropes and helped set up the ring.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-AS a
result Of Senator Edwin C. john

vision and the major leagues at
the New York baseball writer's
dinner last week, the teleyision

which had proposed a Nation

gram similar to radios game of

speech and because of the con-

Mahon said. 1--WE had a plan
which I personally thought would
be a great thing for baseball.

until we reconsider it,"

Two other major TV networks,
NBC and CHS, have shown little
interest in televising baseball on
a national scale and have not
offered any proposals. Spokes-
men said they might be Sin
terested" If the major leagues
sought to arrange such a pro-
gram. but pointed out the ire
mendous mechanical and pro-

The extent of the major league
clubs interest in such plan has
not been determined. The Bill
board, a newspaper devoted to
the amusement industry, re-
ported yesterday that several of
the most powerful club owners
have planned to meet informally
tomorrow to discuss their policy
toward TV and toward those
clubs, notably the st. Louis
Browns, which have demanded
a cut in the TV receipts.
Representatives of the New
York clubs said they had not
heard of such a meeting, al
though Yankee officials were to
meet today to discuss that clubs
television plans. In st. Louis
Veeck also professed ignorance.
Mcmahon also doubted" that
the club owners would meet at
