I q o! Today's Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley | (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) 1° "j New York, Jan. 12 - (UP) —I George P. Marshall, owner of the. national leagut* skins, was branded today as the I "stumbling block" preventing setItlement of the pro football war but! indications were that pressure! would force a quick merger with, i the rival all-America conference. Dan Topping, owner of the AAC ; I New York Yankees, put the finger ion the Washington magnate as the leagues prepared for a Jan. 19 j meeting at which the axe finally j was expected to be buried with i these results: 1. Formation of one !l-team lea- ; gue, separated into two divisions. 2. Cancellation of the New York ' Yankee, Brooklyn Dodger and Chi- { ago Rocket franchises of the AAC. 3. Movement of the Boston Yanks into New York’s Yankee stadium on 1 a lease. 4. Merging of the NL Los Angeles Rams and the AAC Los Angeles Dons. "We are willing — but please don't say we are anxious — to become a landlord if it means peace in pro football,'' Topping said. "I would like to stay in the game and if peace doesn’t come 1 will operate a team."

It was then that Topping, handI some tin-plate heir, blamed iMarI shall for holding up peace negotiations at the recent inter-league meeting in Philadelphia. After that session it was reported that the NFL, which needs a unanimous vote on such matters, I had beaten the peace proposal by a 9 to 1 vote. The vote was Marshall's, who fought against retaining the Baltimore franchise because | it infringed on what he claims are . his territorial rights. Hut Topping disclosed that the , AAC will insist on Baltimore’s rights. "Pressure will have th be brought to bear kin Marshall," he said. The NFL could do that by repealing the unanimous vote amendment. H. S. Basketbail Jeffersonville 56, Madison 52. Terre Haute Gerstmeyer 37, Terre Haute Wiley 22.

That's the law as laid down by principal Paul Oaklief, of the Kenlon, 0., high school. He says Kenton will play behind locked doors if the fans don't improve their behavior. The directive was the outgrowth of a riot Friday night during the Ada-Kenton game. After a couple of opposing players had exchanged unkind words the place went wild, and only the police could quell the stampede. Ada won, 42-38. SUGGEST LIMIT (Cont. From Page One) porters have notified U. S. manga nese and chrome importers that when new contracts are signed this year, supplies will be “substantially" reduced. The United States gets from 23 to 31 percent of her manganese and 55 percent of her metallurgical chrome from Russia. While chrome stockpiles are in good shape, manganese stockpiles are said to be low. Government officials who favor relaxation of export restrictions, want to do one or both of the following: permit increased shipment of goods to Russia, and let Russia use more U. S. dollars in western Europe. These officials point out that Russia gets little benefit out of U. S. dollars from manganese and chrome shipments because she can spend relatively few of them here and in western Europe. Meanwhile, manganese and 'hrome importers are known to be bargaining with other countries including South Africa, India and Brazil for larger supplies. The commerce department yesterday announced a voluntary allocation of steel to a Canadian railroad car builder to make tnanganese-hauling cars for a south African railroad. This move is designed to increase manganese production there. M e do a tu:ng once from choice; ■text because we did it before; inally because we can’t help doing it.
