| Carl L. Storck, who knows as much

| about professional football and eat- | ing candy as anyone in the world, ‘will rule the National Football|

.. league for another year.

| | Contrary to repo

Storck, who has been acting president of the circuit since the .death of Joe Carr last May, was elected unanimously to the presidency for one year at the final session of the league’s 21st annual meeting Sun-

day. “that he would

not accept the. office for such a

| | the term be no longer because of | his increasing business duties.

| opening session of the league Fri-

| day, the stocky Storck declared:

{ ®

“I will continue to carry on and give the league my best efforts. It is likely that I will retain the president’s office in my home at Dayton, O.” Election of Storck followed a vigorous pre-meeting campaign by George Preston Marshall, owner

and president of the Washington

Redskins, to clean house and install a new regime. . Marshall took the election of Storck gracefully, declaring, “As long as Storck is president, he has my whole-hearted support, but I do not think he is the man best suited to the job.” 3

- po Withheld : de Storck’s saJdry was withheld. He

received $10,000 last year as acting president, vice president and treasurer. It was assumed that he was given an increase. Dennis Shea; business manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, was elected for one year as vice president and treasurer, a Joint title that Storck enjoyed under Carr. The 44-year-old Storck also was named chairman of the executive

2 More Tilts for Tribe in Dixie (Continued From Page Eight)

His homer yesterday would have cleared the Perry Stadium wall. Jimmy Sharp finished out on the Tribe rubber against Montgomery and easily subdued the Rebels. Moore has moved in on Dick West for the No. 1 catching assignment -and is hustling like a rookie. West is another Indian who has found his batting eye and it will be interesting to watch the competition in the backstop department. Bob Latshaw took on a new lease of hustle yesterday and regained some prestige that he lost while in " Florida. He garnered two hits, drew ““three walks and -pilfered second twice. Thats more running than is his custom to put out in one day. The weather at Montgomery was ideal for baseball over the weekend and more than 1600 fans turned out for the Sabbath exhibition.
