Bramham president of the National Association of minor leagues) for the next five years. The opposition, which hoped to elect Frank J. Shaugnessy, president of the International League, ate crow last night. They took their troubles to Landis, the man they're sniping at at the control of major league owners who own or control major league farm systems.

Landis does not care for baseball farm systems. Ironic Climax Strangely enough, their main blast was an appeall to Landis to declare the action Bramham, presiding over yestewiay's meeting, "detrimental to the best interests of baseball." That's ironic, because 24 hours ago thev were airaM that, Landis would rule their own actions "det LANOIS OVERRULES MINOR LEAGUE 'REBELS' High commissioner of baseball Judge Kenesaw M. Landis overruled revolting minor league executives today, disaiiowing their 'protest that yesterday's re-election of William G. Bramham as president of the National Associa- tion of Professional Baseball Leagues, was invalid. After conferring in a closed session with representatives of the "rump" group, Landis announced that the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues would continue in session with Bramham presiding.

DeMarco Rejoins Rangers for 3 Road Games A squad of optimistic Rangers will board tne train tomorrow-night for a three game road trip which will take them to Toronto, Chicago and Boston before returning to play the Boston Bruins in Madison Square Garden Dec. 12. Sunday's tie game with the league-leading Montreal Canadiens was just what the Blue Shirts needed to give them confidence. The showing of big Bucko McDonald and the new forwards. Ozzie Au- I HEARD YOU CRIED LAST NIGHT! We are asked to hed a tear for the gallant Rangers, beaten as flat as as a doormat, but carrying on gamely, etc.

This is akin to beseeching sympathy for a landlord who upped your rent when things were tough. And now that you mention it, the Rangers were the leering landlords who squeezed Red Dutton's Americans who had brought hockey to Broadway right out of the Garden and outof existence, weren't they? The hockey" barons have always been pretty good squeezers, whether they were clamping onto hockey teams or nickels and dimes. They ran their ice game in the manner of the Thr.ee-I League, never let it grow in big-league style. All this is not said with any bitterness. Frank Boucher and Lest Patrick are fine fellows; and they are only following, perforce, a pinchpenny pattern that was set many years ago.

For instance THE MINISTER IN THE NETS The hockey player most vulnerable to injury is the goaler. Like the catcher on a big-league team, he is well padded, but the payoff plays swirl around him. He is slammed against his net-posts and mile-a-minute pucks, often deflected, whiz at him all during the game, same p.s foul tips threaten a catcher. But big-league hockey teams carry no spare goalers 09 percent of the time. Even in the lush days they never did saving salaries and carfare so you can't say it's a wartime restriction.

Can you imagine the Dodgers going into St. Louis for a-game with the Cardinals, having Mickey Owen come down with the flu and looking for somebody, anybody, to fill in the most important position on their team? That happened in Toronto last Saturday night. Bruins' goaler took sick, and they picked up a goaler named Abbott to fill in. Abbott is an ordained minister, so his honesty is granted although he was an employe of the Toronto team that was trying to fire shots past him. He was really a mystery man, for nobody even knew his first name; and until a fortnight before he was shanghaied into action, he had been off the ice for three years! His efforts were rather gauche for a big-league game, and seven goals flew past him, as was to be expected.

MAKING IT TOUGH ON THE PLAYER The hockey barons' determination to hold onto all their lucrative Is also a source of wonder. Big-league baseball has made every concession to the Jammed travel lanes, inserting two off days, instead of the customary one, when an Eastern team goes West, or vice versa. Yet with the added hazard of immigration authorities because of a border crossing, the hockey barons continue to have the same two teams play on successive nights Saturday in Montreal or Toronto, Sunday in New York. This has rather bizarre developments. The Rangers, a ter a bruising game in Montreal Saturday night, shed their skates, and are whisked from the battleground to the station In stocking feet and steaming, sweaty uniforms.

On the train, the battered warriors peel off their trappings, and climb into berths to stew in their sleep without ehowers and dream of another battle the next night. Pneumonia and the loss of a few stars might make the tycoons sacrifice a Juicy gate date, but a mere war couldn't! THE GRAB-ALLS And now that we're on the subject, how about a little laugh like Les Canadiens are having? In the lush days, rich hockey teams in the Stages wouldn't share any of the bonanzas they were raking out of a Canadian game using Canadian stars.

Faculty and athletic directors Indicated that the university will carry on football next year if at all possible. Bill Corum of the Journal-American and Nicholas McKnight, assistant dean of Columbia College, were among the speakers. Joe Barata, representing the student body, was toastmaster.

By HAROLD C. BURR tmory nix is an primea to try the mighty pitching arm of Giant chucker wasn't heaving 'em at the Fort Worth university when Sammy was in flower, but he hade a successful pursuit race of it when he did show up. In 1941 Nix surpassed one of Baugh's overhead records, passing for 333 yards in one game.

He came up to the pro game after a third TCU llingcr, Davey Brien, had been all but rashed into the ground by the huskies of the National Football League. Nix has upheld the Texas tradition, but still has been left far in arrears by Sammy. If he starts catching up Sunday it couldn't happen on a better day. Tuffy'll Pitch Also Stout Steve Owen, coach of the Giants, isn't going to put all his footballs in one pair of hands. Tuffy Leemans will alo be in their pitching for good old Tim Mara, Inc.

Leemans holds the edge on Baugh in these Giant-Redskin imbrogliosif you don't delve deeper than touchdown passes. In the battle of right arms, that began in 1937, Tuffy has tossed five TD passes against four for Sammy. It looks as if Stout Steve was going to try and outnumber Slingin' Sam. Unless the Redskin strike-thrower plays 60-minute football, Nix or Leemans will still be in there while Baugh seeks his blanket at intervals. Will Walls and Frank Liebel will be on the receiving end of the Giant aerials or so Owen hopes.

Looks Like Aerial Display The ball is going to be in the air most of the afternoon, providing there isn't a soggy, heavy, rain-soaked leather. But the skie.s always smile on the Maras on these big capacity Sundays. Tim has made the luck of the come true so often in the past that you can safely leave your macintosh at home. A game without flying footballs with Baugh in the lineup is unthinkable and Owen must counter with a like attack to hold the score close. He wasn't satisfied with the Giant blocking in the Dodger game was kept by Rangers, under the weird rule that the home team kept its own gates.

In Montreal's Forum, a sellout crowd means about one-third of New York's total in cash-limited capacity, lower price scale. So Rangers, Detroit Wings and Boston Bruins and Chi-Hawks got richer while Canadian teams starved. The barons remained stone-faced while Ottawa and Montreal Maroons died under this strange rule, which would throttle baseball's big leagues in no time, were they to adopt it. A LAUGH WITH DUTTON! So Rangers raked in the cash, got richer while Les Canadiens got glummer. Now Rangers cannot win a game, and Les Canadiens have not lost one yet.

And Rangers have just had to shell out $50,000 for four players who are not good enough to pay north of the border. So, one way or another, the golden stream of shekels is evening up, a fair share of it flowing uphill again. So why shed a tear for recumbent Rangers? A chuckle is more in order. And that's a thought how League President Red Dutton. kicked around as an Amerk player, manager and owner for years by Rangers, must get a guffaw out of looking down at the bottom of the league and seeing ha! the Rangers.

Dry your tears, pals, an' cry no more! will be taken on tne trip, Frank Boucher, who will not play unless injury forces him to don a uniform again, rates DeMarco one of the best stickhandlers in hockey and plans on returning him to center. McDonald is beginning to loosen up. The big fellow had done con- ur ame and not in top form. At that, Bucko seems to hold some visit, to the Garden in a Toronto' uniform, he body-checked Jack Mc Donald so hard that he hud the big Ranger wing expectoraring blocd for several hours after the game. On Sunday night he bounced into Toe Blalce and Toe was assisted from the ice and did not come back again.

The beauty of Bucko's checking is that it is perfectly legal. He does not have to take a running jump in order to deliver a hard body-check as some defensemen do. In fact, he can be standing still and If some intrepid forward stumbles into him the results seem to be the same. Billy Warwick's abscessed ears continue to keep him in hospital and he will not leave with the team. Billy has been in considerable pain lately, but it is not expected that it will be necessary to operate.

Bivins Extended By Lee Murray Cleveland, Dec. 2 ru.ff Jimmy Bivins, Cleveland's unofficial duration world heavyweight champion, turned back the savage challenge of Lee Q. Murray, Norwalk. Negro, last night bv taking the decision In a bloody 10-round bout before more than 14.000 persons in the Cleveland Arena. A capacity crowd paid more than $56,000 to the annual Christmas toy fund sponsored by the Cleveland News.

Murray at 200 outweighed Bivins by 12 pounds. It was Jimmy's 14th coasecutive victory since he dropped a close decision to Bob Pastor here in April. 1942. but it was the hardest triumph he has earned in his three-year professional ring career. The decision was unanimous, but was greeted with catcalls and boos.

Bivins appeared to be coasting to an easy decision over his taller and heavier opponent through the first rounds, but in the sixth. Murray landed a terrific right upper-cut that ripped open Jimmy's left eye. After that Jimmy was an easy target for a jabbing right hand, which Lee used as he reverted to his natural southpaw stance. Despite the cut Bivins fought furiously although he looked helpless in the seventh and eighth rounds. The only thing that saved him from a knockout was Murray's lack of boxing skill.

'Corpses' Vote Derided The brief session of the National Association strongly suggested the last act of "Arsenfic and Old Lace." in which a dozen, corpses, hitherto unseen by the audience, troop before the footlighls.

Only in this case the "corpses'1' representing 16 nonoperating miner leagues upset the apple cart of the anti-Landis forces by springing to life and voting to retain Judge Bramham. It was a delightful exhibition of thv. body politic in action. Hardly had Judge Bramham's gavel hit the table when a geDt sprang to his feet and declared that he was representing the leagues which had suspended. He demanded the right to vote and said that the suspended leagues would appeal to Commi sioner Landis or, to the courts if refused that ptinlege.

Outfoxed Dissenfters Bramham prevfcnisly had declared that the suspended leagues were ineligible under 8. Neatly he now perpetrated a naked reverse and said that he had reconsidered his decision under Article 25. He now. ruled that the 16 leagues might vote. When the Shaughnessy forces screamed he quietly pointed out that the screamers had the same right of appeal as the 16 "corpses." Namely, that they might take up the matter with Landis or in the courts of law.

Neither prospect, of course, was appetizing to the insurrectionists. Fat chance they'd have of getting redress from Landis. the man they are trying to un-czar. Court action would take months, if not years. Eefore the stunned anti-Bramham brigade could recover a vote was taken and the stout character from Durham, N.

re-elected for a five-year term. Then came a motion to adjourn until today. The Shaugnessy forces still appeared dazed as they stood out on the cold sidewalk hours later.

Thus, in Marcy Hessel's first year as soccer coach, Cleveland won the title. He replaced Joe Singer, a chief petty officer in th? navy.

Nix and Lee-mans must have blocking protection Sunday to get their passes away Once the defense roughing the passer, the air attack is a dud. The Giant's have always got good results smothering Slingin' Sam. craftily building up their defense. Another angle that favors the Maramen staying in the race is that this team is made up of op- portunists. Let the Slinger have one of his heaves intercepted and Ward Cuff, Leemans or some other aiert secondary mignt easily run it back for a damaging touchdown Still and not withstanding, as the feller said, the Maramen will need all the luck of the Irish to win this one.

On paper, the Skins are the best team aloft. The Giant line should hold iUs own and their running game is quite as good as anything Washington can set in motion along the ground. But. Sid Luckman riddled their pass defense three weeks ago. Perhaps Stout Steve has soldered it up in the interim.
