NEW YORK, Jan. 20 (AP)
Abe Saperstein, commissioner

"Sure. we've got problems.
But every professional league
in the history of the country
has had its problems. Ours will
be Strengthened out" he said
shortly after returning from a
20-day trip to Europe.
Saperstein, who also heads
the Chicago Majors of the ABL,
said a meeting scheduled in
Chicago to discuss the future of
the league has been Cancelled
because the alarming conditions
that prompted it (the meeting)
have disappeared"
He declined to elaborate on
what the conditions may have
been and said he would call
the league, now in it's first sea-
son, generally healthy"
There have been recurring,
unconfirmed reports Of finan-
cial difficulties in several league
cities. The Los Angeles entry
withdrew two days ago and the
league Is now operating with
seven teams.

tors involved in the Los Angeles

Pro football the national

Nothing that pro football

ems of lesser instances.

ment' of pro football overshad-
,ows the World Series"

late in December, in what had
been overplayed as the sports
clash Of the century between
the Giants and Packers, I found
some excuse to slip away from
the television set when the
Packers made it 24-0 over the
Giants before halftime.

game. All week the stories

where the two-minute warning,

Baseball, not pro football,
must have been considered the
national pastime by Jake Gibbs,
the All-American quarterback
and star infielder at the Uni

Gibbs repeatedly signed for

that he would make the grade.
His top pro football offer

ter Of that sum, in a sport
where he figured to produce.
There was something incon-
sistent about the poll, and its
followups.
Baseball Commissioner Ford
Frick, taking note of the re-
suit, said that, among other
things, baseball needed fewer
home runs. The same sports
pages that printed the result
Of the poll carried stories re-
Gently that Baltimore and De-
troit had shortened their parks,
setting up more home runs.
Here's hoping for great sue
cess for both baseball and pro

pastime, there's only room for
one at the top. It's there, and
will stay.
