Marshall Says
Bell Exceeds
His Authority

George Marshall, president
of the Redskins, declared today
that Commissioner Bert Bel,
iof the National Football League
docs not have the authority
under the constitution to rec
ognize the NIL Players Asso-
ciation."
That's my opinion" Mar
shall said. II think that Mr.
Bell is exceeding his authority
I agree that the commissioner
door should be open to players
who want to air grievances but
that no collective bargaining
should be encouraged.
THE reason I say this is be-
cause football is a physical
contact sport and the minority
should be protected.
II don't think that very
many of the players want an
association or a union. which
is a pretty strong term. ]
think they are afraid that il
there is a minimum salary
there also will be a maximum. "
Marshall added that his un-
derstanding of the leagues
constitution makes it clear that
Bell would need the approval OF
10 OF the IL club owners to
recognize the association.
I am very fond of Mr.. Bell, -
he said. but commissioners
sometimes have a habit of talk
ing too much"

Hearing Is Told
BY the Associated Press

Commissioner Bert Bell Of
the National Football League
today recognized the NIL Play
ers Association as q bargain
ing unit for pro football
players.
Bell acted singlehandedly
where club owners had refused

Subcommittee that the league
constitution and bylaws give
him authority to take the step
on his own and he is doing 50.

out by questioning that it
would be possible for the club
owners to refuse to ratify Bells
decision. Bell said he thinks
they will accept it, although
he wants time to confer with
them.
George Halas, president Of
the Chicago Bears, said under
questioning that he is not
against any players association.
But he said he would not
bargain with what he called
outsiders and would not deal
with the association on indi-
vidual salaries.

Might Rescue
Griffs al Gate
BY BURTON HAWKINS

There's little left for the
Senators as a team this sea-
son, unless possible escape from
the cellar may be regarded as
an achievement. but individu-
ally Roy Sievers is striving
nightly to prevent an appreci-
able sag at the gate with his
home-run hinge.
The Senators have dropped
four in a row and this afternoon
are attempting to avoid a 14th
loss in II games with the White
Sox. However. Sievers, is still
as hot as a furnace. He
clouted his third home run in
three games last night as the
Senators succumbed, 6-5, before
5.25l customers.
Sievers has a chance to crack
one Of Lou Gehrig's major
league records at the expense of
the White Sox. He has belted
10 Of his 81 against Chicago,
nudging toward the mark Geh-
rig established in 1896 when he
cracked IA homers against
Cleveland.
Seven In IA Games
Roy has blasted seven homers
in his last IA games to vault
into strong contention for the
American League home run
title. never won by a Washing
ton player. He Is two back Of
Ted Williams and one behind
Mickey Mantle.
The Senator'S need help in
order to surpass last seasons
meager attendance, and Sievers
may provide 1t. At the mo-
ment, they're only Sc customers
behind last years attendance
figures for the same number
Of dates. but the gap may widen
before the Yankees return to
town.
Sievers could do something
about that. The Senators
never have had anybody as a
home-run contender since the
lively ball was introduced and
the novelty may induce fans to
come out and see what the
heck's going on.
Roy has six more games
against the White Sox, includ-
ing today's engagement in
which Chuck Stobbs will op-
pose Jack Harshman on the
mound.
For the ninth time in the
Senators last II games, one
run was the difference last
