What he saw pleased his instincts as a sportsman, since the 49 athletes doing their preliminary perspiring under Coach Carl Voyles seem to assure Biwklyn a stronger club in the All-America Conference this year. But what he feels about professional football keeps him from cheering too loudly. The business sense of the Mahatma of Montague St. is thoroughly appalled by the pro grid business. "Kach club must keep its books in the red to keep 33 football players in the pink." was his sombre observation.

The Mahatma has learned plenty about the facts of professional football life since Bill Cox gave up the ghost last Winter and the baseball organization took over the Conference franchise at Ebbets Field. SWELLING OVERHEAD It never was in Rickey's rnind that he had won a gold mine by default. Never for a moment did he suppose that the football club would Hart paying dividends this year. He knew that if he sold every ticket for every one of Brooklyn's seven home games, the venture would still lose money. But he was fooled, too.

by the prospective amounts of loss. Originallv, he guessed that the operation of the Dodgers In 104S would mean a loss of That estimate proved far too low. It's up around now "and every day I find that our previous estimates were far too low." comments Rickey with a slight shudder. Conservatively, the operation of the football team will rost half as much as the operation of the Brooklyn baseball team. Conservatively, too, the baseball team will draw five or six times as many dollars as football.

One doesn't need Rickey's shrewd sense of the value nf a dollar to sense something -Wrong with this picture.

CHANGES NEEDED Rickey indicates that he is prepared to carry on for a while. At any rate, he predicts a losing season next year as well as this, adding "if we're lucky we may break even in lOofl." But a good guess, too, is that Rickey and his associates Bren going too far down the line with the cash-and-carry grid industry unless efforts are taken to stabilize the business. Rickey has two pet schemes which he believes will establish the professional game on a sound business basis.

The first would cut down the overhead and the second would increase the gate receipts. Before anything else can be done the National Football League and the All-America Conference must remove their fingers from each other's throats. This, of course, is what the A. A. C.

has wanted all along But the N. V. Jealously fighting to regain the monopoly it once held in the football field, hasn't yet weakened in its determination to ruin the newcomers referred to sneeringly as upstarts. PEACE WOULD BE WONDERFUL The No. 1 benefit of peace, of course, would be a working agreement between the two leagues regarding the draft rights to outstanding college players.

That would do away with the necessity of paying telephone number bonuses to college plavors "untried in the professional games. "I figure we paid about more than necessary for new talent this season." says Rickey, "and 1 guess every other club in both leagues did the same. I'm going tn try to get the Conference and the National League to tome" to a working agreement before this season's over." Well, if he succeeds he'll do so where others have failed even though the overall benefits to be derived from football peace are evident. In addition to the savings made possible by the elimination of cut-throat bidding, the revenue from a real world championship game between 1he two league champions and sundry pre-season exhibitions should be considerable. TWO GAMES A WEEK His other project is more 'novel and revolutionary.

The Brooklyn boss wants to play twice as many championship games. That would mean a 2S-game schedule in the Conference instead of the double round robin of 14 games as at present. Rickey maintains that it is perfectly feasible for professional teams to play both Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons. "The coaches will tear their hair," says Rickey, "but it can be done with men on the squad and the amount of substituting they do anyway. If a boy attending college (lasses can play one game a week, more mature men in football as a profession surely should be able to play two." He could be right.
