EASTERN CHARITY GRID CARD PROMISES REAL BATTLES

F our Teams in Tourney Atlantic Schools Hope to Pass $154,000 Raised by Big Ten. BY DIXON STEWART United Pi pis Staff CorreaDondent NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Charity find unemployment relief, which have secured little except advertising from benefit football games in the east, appear destined for more substantial benefits. With four charity affairs —N. Y. U. vs. Tennessee at Yankee Stadium, Dec. 5; Yale, Dartmouth, Holy Cross and Brown at Yale Bowl, Dec. 5; Princeton, Columbia, Cornell and Pennsylvania at Yankee Stadium, Dec. 9, and Army vs. Navy at Yankee Stadium, Dec. 12—remaining on the program, the east still has an opportunity to top the nation in football contributions to Owen D. Young’s relief committee. Early Games Failures To do so, the east must raise more than sls4,ooo—the amount produced by the Big Ten conference, which on its record is capable of conducting football, charity or otherwise, on a better and more business-like basis than any other group in the nation. Eastern charity games to date have been doomed to failure before they started. The games have not paired natural rivals. Outstanding examples were the Penn State-Lehigh game played in Philadelphia, where neither team has a following and the BostonHoly Cross game in which the committee- in charge over-estimated charity’s appeal and ended with a $21,000 loss. The Penn-Lehigh game drew only 2.500 spectators. The Boston col-legc-Holy Cross game grossed $75,COO, but the “expenses”—including SIB,OOO rental for Fenway park where the game was not played—were $96,000. Yanks Donate Stadium In the remaining benefits there will be no expense for stadium rental. Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the New York Yankees, has donated Yankee stadium for the three games in New York and Yale is giving its stadium for the Yale-Dartmouth-Brown-Holy Cross tourney. Then too, all of the charity promotions feature logical opponents. Army vs. Navy unquestionably is the finest attraction which could be arranged for charity, and is surrounded by all the glamour and color of service tilts of “before the war” days. An oversubscription of tickets appears probable. N. Y, U. and Tennessee are not natural rivals but Tennessee is one of the nation’s few unbeaten teams and promises to be a big drawing card in New York. N. Y. U., although beaten by Oregon and Georgia, rates as one of the East’s strongest clubs.

Minor Leagues Act on New Governing Body . - Executive Committee of Five Planned to Succeed President Mike Sexton in Effort to Rehabilitate Baseball in Smaller Circuits; Program Outlined. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Pres* Staff Corresnondent WEST BADEN, Ind., Dec. 3—The far-reaching proposal to retire Mike Sexton, president of the National Baseball Association for twentytwo years, and create anew governing body to rehabilitate minor league oaseball was to be acted on today after a night of deliberation. When the resolution was introduced at the opening session of the National Association Wednesday a motion to carry the matter over until today was put through by the minority group.

Leaders of the movement to make sweeping changes in minor league baseball predicted the resolution to create an executive committee of five, three from the Class AA and A leagues and two from the Class B, C and D leagues, would pass by an overwhelming majority. The salient points of the resolution provided for: 1. Contact with the ores*. mafor leagues and individuals in an effort to rehabilitate leagues and organize new leagues. 2. Make recommendations regarding wavs and means of increasing ance and making games more attractive to the public. 3. Creation of a central purchasing agency for baseball reauisites. 4. Outline new methods of dealing with vital minor league problems. 5. Make surveys of the present rules and regulations and major-minor agreement with a view toward making the necessary changes. The committee of five is to serve without pay. and shall have full power to act. Mike Sexton, president of the n? Tonal association, under the te.ms of the resolution, will be retired as honorary president for a year on his present salary of $5,000. The other officers of the association will remain the same for 1932. The three Class AA leagues, the American Association, Pacific Coast and International Leagues, have agreed to make a substantial reduction in all salaries for next season. It is admitted the monthly pay roll of each club will run between SII,OOO and $12,000, with individual players drawing from S4OO to SBOO. Last year some of the players in the In-

capped him in the outfield somewhat. “With accurate throwing, however,” Comiskey said, “we think he will make a fine catcher.” The decision apparently pht an end to Jolley’s hopes for a pitching career. While kept from playing as as outfielder last season by injuries, he spent much time in the bullpen in an attempt to convince the managers he would be a success at pitching. Meanwhile, the White Sox and New York Yankees continue to discuss possible trades. The Yanks announced Wednesday they were seeking Vic Frasier, the young Texan, instead of Ted Lyons, and it was said Tony Lazzeri and one other Yankee infielder they want would induce the Hose to turn the brilliant hurler over to the New Yorks. CATFISH SMITH BETTER By Times ' -il ATHENS, Ga., Dec. 3.—Condition of Vernon (Catfish) Smith, Georgia’s famous end who is suffering from a light touch of influenza, was reported better today and it is thought he will be able to play against Southern California at Los Angeles on Dec. 12.
