Buns Blast Hot Shots
In Detroit Mixed Loon

Ill VIIiVii FIACu LVVP
Detroit, Mich. - The Hot

The track was drying out from

"slow" but was expected to be
fast by post time.

TORONTO. Feb. 9.-The Ca
madam Big Four League today
shelved until next year any
effort to agree on a no-raiding
agreement with the National
Football League.
Last month the Big Four
voted, 81, to honor NFL player
contracts and options. Now the
league has decided to honor NFL
contracts but to make it an open
season on players merely under
option to NFL clubs.
The compromise kept peace in
the Big Four. Toronto, with
seven NFL players already under
contract, had objected to the
January decision after dropping
its 10 United States imports in
a shuttle to better its third-place
finish in 1854.
In changing its decision, the
Big Four let Toronto keep four
of the United States players al
ready signed. but confiscated the
other three for disposition. At
