Commissioner Ford Prick and

muddled situation.

Territorial Rights Involved
There we're broad hints from
Cincinnati last week end that
Owner Powell Crosley. jr.. was
thinking Of moving his Red
legs. Crosley said the opinion
among National League owners
seemed TO be unanimous that
the league should maintain a
team in New York.
The job Of Prick and his
four-man committee will be to
spell out in positive terms the
territorial rights situation for
all time and for all cities. It
is believed they will work out
some deal so a large city can
have two teams without vio-
lating the rights Of the club
already operating in the city.
