Dec. 3.—(?)—The t) ebels” of the National Association «Professional Baseball Leagues, par- ‘ it body of America's 16 existing mi- : or leagues, apparently have won the ¢ uttle of West Baden, » Backed by an overwhelming major- y, they were in full charge of the irteenth annual convention Thurs- vy and ready to complete their plans . pa drastic reorganization of the i sociation—a reorganization which ould oust the present administration xdy and replace it with a committee * five club owners with absolute »wers of management and control. The showdown of their fight was ‘finitely set for today, and not one ember of the old regime, headed by sesident Mike Sexton, of Rock land, Til, had any hopes of retain- g his powers, Only because some ebel minded” owners wanted to get ore information about the reorgan- ation plan, was the movement post- med from yesterday. To Get Pension ‘Under the plan, Sexton, president r 22 years, would be retired with a il year’s salary, and the commit- e, three members from the Class AA ague and the other two from Class) ‘and D leagues, placed in full varee for a year, during which it onld make recommendations. The committee would be directed create a rental purchasing agency wr all minor leacue supplies, make mtracts for a general rehabilitation 1d to map campaigns to give minor ague baseball a wider appeal. So far the minor leagues have aged their own show without the ajors stealing the act with their portant trades. As the meeting zared the end Thursday, only one jor league deal had been an- sunced—the sale of third baseman ndy Bich, of the St. Louis Cardinals, 1 the Cincinnati Reds. All the ma- ws were represented and brewing; but none of any importance was sted to break until their own eeting next week in Chicago.

Manager Says Manassa Maul- er’s Ring Future Remains an Enigma Fargo, Dec. 3.—(?)—Jack Demp- sey’s fistic future is very much of an enigma. The former world’s heavyweight boxing champion probably will ap-| pear in two big shots during the coming outdoor season. That was the message brought to Fargo by Leonard Sacks, manager of the for- mer champion. Dempsey is sched- uled to headline a fistic program Fri- day against four opponents. Whether Max Schmeling will be one of Dempsey’s two opponents during the coming season, Sacks would not “Both Jacobs and Schmeling know Dempsey is the only fighter around capable of drawing a million dollar gate. And that itself should Prove incentive enough for the champion to sign.” “We are not angling for a match with Schmeling but will welcome a title fight with the champion if satis- factory terms and conditions are in’ evidence.” Dempsey is the only fighter who is Mable to dethrone him, due to the fact Dempsey’s ability to give and take never has been questioned. When the proper time presents it- self there will be no hesitancy on the part of Dempsey to sign a blanket contract, Jack to meet any opponent the promoter names.” “Of course, I cannot be concerned about anyone's int other than Dempsey’s, and by that I mean that we will sign with the promoter of- fering most satisfactory terms. If this same promoter can, satisfy Joe Jacobs and Max Schmeling, then a Dempsey-Schmeling match will be made. “Right now in my possession, I have two valid offers from reliable men neither of whom ever has promoted a fight, the names of whom I am not at liberty to disclose, but I will say that neither is an eastern man, but the status of both rates high in the fi- nancial world.” “Dempsey is holding off such sign- ing because he wishes to satisfy him- self as well as his thousands of sup- Dempsey went through a stiff work- out in the Fargo Y.

BOY WINS IN LONG FIGHT FOR GRID GLORY 31 Lives Majority of Fatalities Occurred in High School and ‘Sand Lot’ Games r | New York, Dec, 3.—(?)—While Fordham university paid its last tribute Thursday to Cornelius Mur- phy, Jr., 21-year-old football star who died yesterday of injuries suffered in his team’s closing game with Bucknell / ten days ago, the sport loving public wondered what would be the result of the unusual number of gridiron fatalities during the 1931 season. Murphy's death was the thirty-first recorded this season. In many quar- ters it was believed important steps would be taken to check the toll of football. Coaches, officials, ex-players and others connected with football rallied to the support of their game and pointed out few players had been killed or even seriously injured in major college games. Of the 31 deaths recorded so far only four have occurred at major colleges, one at a small college and one at a normal School. Others were a high schools He snagged it! ...
