CONSIDER SALE OF BALL TEAM American League Magnates Discuss Sale Os Browns Chicago. Nov. 12.—(U.8 — Prospective purchasers of the St. Louis Browns spread their plans before American league club owners to-i day. seeking their approval of a <te#| swinging the baseball club from the estte of Phil Dec. Ball to a St. Louis syndicate beaded by i Donald L. Barnes, dapper invest-! meat house executive. Reportedly involved was a price of 1325.000 for the club, its players. and the San Antonio club of the Texas league. Sportsmans Park, home of the Browns, was to remain property of the Ball estate. According to American league law. new owners must be accept-1 able to all seven remaining operators in the league President Will Harrldge called this as a routine meeting, but indicated he would investigate any connection of the St. Louis Cardinals with the transaction. Barnes became interested in the Brown* on a chance remark by William O. DeWitt, vice president and treasurer of the Cardinals, who was expected to become general manager of the Browns. The American league will insist DeWitt sever all ties with the Cards before approving the sale. Disposal of his Cardinal stock likely will, be handled through owner Sam Breadon. No names but Barnes' and DeWitt's were linked with the deal' but repeated rumors brought in Branch Rickey, business manager of the Cards. The syndicate may be asked to explain his appearance in the negotitions. Also before the owners for consideration was a proposal to curb radio broadcasters from second guessing umpires, managers and piayers. Contracts between radio stations and American league teams permitting broadcasts may be asked. o Conservation Club Plans Trap Shoot The country conservation club will hold a trap and rifle shoot at Iloag'and on Sunday.

OZE SIMMONS BACK IN SUIT lowa Negro Star Withdraws “Resignation" From Grid Team lowa City, la.. Nov. 12. —<UJ?K~ : Oze Simmons, negro fullback. Today withdrew his second •'resignation” from the University of lowa football team. Simmons, frequently hailed as a "one-man team" to the dissatisfaction of other players, agreed to forget his quarrel with Coach Ossie Solem and report for practice as usual. • “I know we'll get along fine now,” Simmons said after a midnight conference with Solent and C. M. Updergraff. chairman of tfer board of athletics.' "Everything is settled satisfactorily.” Sports writers, however, doubted whether "everything" had been settled. When Simmons returns to practice, he will work with a squad wracked by dissension. lowa has won only two games—against Carleton and South Dakota. It tied Illinois, but lost to Northwestern and Indiana. The slump reached a climax last week when Minnesota climbed all over the Hawkeyes. 52 to 0. Players admittedly begrudged Simmons some of his considerable publicity. There were cries for Solem's scalp even before the Minnesota debacle. His retention of the coaching job was more than ever in doubt when the squad assembled Monday for a lecture on its faults against Minnesota and discussions of possibilities against the high-powered Purdue and Temple teams left on the schedule. Motion pictures of the Minnesota game were shown and Solem picked out faults of individual players. He turned to Simmons "Ozzie, you didn't head for the flat zone on that pass like you were supposed to,” Solem was quoted as saying. "You went off to the eide.” “I went right up the middle." Simmons argued. The picture was re-run and Simmons was shown at fault. The coach then accused Simmons of
