Minor Leagues To i Have Great Post War Expansion I SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23 (U.B Eddie Mulligan, present owner of the Salt Lake City baseoau 'team in the Pioneer league, pre- : dieted that the minor leagues will have a postwar expansion unprecedented in the history of . the game. "I expect to see the game ex- pand with no bounds," Mulligan said. "There will be minor lea gues springing up like mushrooms mush-rooms all over the country and the best part of it all is that for . once, the minors will be on a sound financial basis.- - - - Mulligan, 50, was with the Chicago Cubs, White Sox and ' Pittsburgh Pirates before and : after the last war. Since the start of this war, he has been working in a San Francisco defense de-fense plant that makes precision parts for 153 mm Howitzers. In the four years the Pioneer - loop operated. Mulligan is re-! re-! puted to have netted himself $80,- 000. When he acquired the Salt - ltke City franchise, he drew 180,000 paid attendance one . season an all time record for a dass-C team. Salt Lake had a population of around 150,000, at that time. His team disbanded in 1942. He said major league clubs ' would continue to back the minors with a farm system, but added thai the days of the vast chains, "such as the SL- Louis : Cardinals operated, are past." "Furthermore. I believe there i will be more good baseball talent after tne war is over tnan ever before in the history of the sport," he added. "Men in service tell me that : baseball is becoming more and - more popular as a participant sport.

NephL Tintic Tilt Rated As Even Tossup NEPHI Followers of Nebo division basketball are conjecturing conject-uring on the outcome of the game tonight between Juab and Tintic high school, both tied for second place, and the winner as sured a tie with Spanish Fork for the top rung. Tintic defeated Nephl at Eureka earlier in the season, but it is pointed out that American Fork was dropped twice by the Juab quint Scores, however, mean lit tle when the two Juab county fives meet. From previous scores, and the number of points each team has chalked up against other teams of the division, the game is a toss-up. Fans from Eureka have indicated indi-cated that they will back their team 100 per cent to take the game. Rooters from Nephl are equally sure that their team will take the game, and have the long green that says so. Which ever team is hottest, that team will emerge the winner. On paper they are a tossup. Payson goes to Springville in the other game of the division. Spanish Fork is taking a rest cure just sitting back and watching the fun. Springville has not won a game this season. The Red Devils are out to win one. But the improved Payson club giant killer of the Nebo division, is expected to come out the winner after a" hard-fcugtit hard-fcugtit session.

People of Polish descent were adopted. Names like Dancewicz and Tocz-ylowskl Tocz-ylowskl are very popular on the Irish roster. With such wide-spread eligibility, eligi-bility, Notre Dame finds it easy to muster a legion of loyalists wherever it goes. In Los Angeles, 2400 miles from home, the Irish rallied as many backers as did Southern California during their great peace-time football series. In New York. Notre Dame football foot-ball squads are so soundly supported sup-ported that you would suspect Yankee Stadium was on the South Bend campus.

"I can't understand thai ilnt and I don't like it I know for sure that other National league ciuds wanted me, so there's something some-thing fishy about the Cubs not trading me to a major league club. "I've been sold down the river. but that doesn t mean I have to take it and like it," the fence- ousting Russian snorted. Stewart said he conferred brief ly with the former Angel star yesterday, but that "we didn't get down to real business." "However, I think Lou will show up for spring training Monday Mon-day at Anaheim, Calif.," Stewart saia., But Lou thou eh t otherwise. "I've got a good Job right now, so I don't have to go back. But my heart's in baseball and I know I could make the grade if they'd J usx let me piay more or deal me to somebody who would. "I happen to know for sure that me uiams wanted me and that Horace Stoneham and Mel Ott talked to the Cubs about it Yet here I am, back in the minors. I don't get it," the squat slugger ventured. Novikoff said he never had received re-ceived a 1945 contract from the Cubs, although the deadline for their issuance is Feb. 15. Players Play-ers not offered pacts by that time are eligible to become free agents. But Chicago General Manager Jimmy Gallagher said in Chicago that the contract was nlaced in the mail before the deadline. Baseball's "Mad Russian" left the Angels in 1940 after chalking up a pnenomenai .263 batting average and poling out 41 home runs. He was named most valu. able player of the year in the Pa- cuic toast league in 1940. But when he joined the Cubs his batting average slumped and he was traded to Milwaukee. S Provo Steelers Beat Ft.

Feb. 23 GUT) Ma jor league baseball is still un comfortably worried about manpower man-power uncertainties about whether the game will have enough players left to last the season. This worry has not been relieved re-lieved by a hodgepodge of invisible invis-ible "green lights," by settlement of its transportation problem, nor by repeated statements of hope irom tne sports Drass nats. Even the most hopeful owners or officials admit that the game must have about 400 men to carry on. Of these, about 300 must be men with previous big-time experience ex-perience whether they are 4-F's, dischargees or over-agers. It is becoming apparent that a nucleus of 300 experienced performers per-formers may not be left The army is reaching rapidly for previously pre-viously rejected players, carrying out the recent request of War Mobilizer Byrnes. For example, the cases of Ben Chapman, Dodg ers, and George McQuinn, Browns, are now being considered. consid-ered.

Bachman suggests a sound physical fitness program. The old Notre Darner coaching Michi-I gan State opposes placing boys; in military camps for the year: following graduation from high school or upon attainment of the age of 18. To him, that sounds a bit like "too little and too late." Bachman points out that peri odic- physical examinations stem ming from early grade school level would provide for the development de-velopment of strength and stam ina detecting physical deficien cies at early ages. He would have calisthenics for the development of strength, tap dancing to teach coordination and competitive athletics to teach quick thinking, team work and to stimulate the will to win. As for military training, properly pro-perly conditioned youth, begin ning in summer vacation pre ceding the senior year in high school or during the comparable age, could be enrolled in camps for the first of a series of four consecutive summer training programs of three months each In this way, the study of the latest in military science would span a greater number of years. mUMPGTGI IA0GL a small thing to ...a big thing to lit. . . .is only in clothing tailored "by HART SCHAPPNER & MARX prices start at $40.00 SHR Harry Gumbert and catcher Ray Mueller.

So it goes. , League Presidents Ford Frick and Will Harridge went to Washington Wash-ington and reportedly conferred with Mobilized Byrnes about baseball's manpower. They were quoted as saying that they had inside in-side "info" which they could relay re-lay only to the club owners. Apparently Ap-parently some of the owners haven't received their feedbox special yet Because they're worrying trenches across their foreheads. If Frick and Harridge did actually act-ually confer with Byrnes, it is our guess that the mobilizer told them something like this: "Hold tight boys, and maybe something can be done to help you after congress con-gress passes the impending labor-control labor-control legislation." Such legislation regardless of its final form is expected to require re-quire nearly two more weeks. It will be designed to end the "manpower "man-power shortage." At present, the house and the senate, are approaching ap-proaching the problems from different dif-ferent angles. The May bill, which originated in the house and passed pass-ed the house on Feb. !, is the "work-or-Jall" decum?:.'. -Mch would affect all civilian males between 18 and 45, who have not been deferred legally from military mili-tary service.

The brand ' new Kilgore bill wag approved only yesterday by the senate military mil-itary affairs committee. This bill applies to all workers, regardless of age or sex. It applies to women, wo-men, as well as men. This bill would control the distribution of labor by cracking down upon the employers rather than the workers. work-ers. Under it, for example, the labor la-bor needs of plants would be investigated in-vestigated essential plants and non-essential plants and limits would be set for the number of workers skilled and unskilled - they could use. Employer violators vio-lators would be penalized; worker work-er violators might be, too. There'll be a lot of bickering before the Kilgore bill passes the senate; and a whole lot more be-, fore the contents of the two bills can be batted around and merged into one document acceptable to ' both houses. How will this legislation benefit bene-fit baseball? It may not benefit it at all. But it could benefit it in this fashion: Mobilizer Byrnes, confident that' the "manpower shortage" has been ended by the legislation, could suggest that baseball players play-ers be one of the classes exempt from labor control, for the pub-, lie's benefit He could whisper this suggestion into the ear of manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt. In connection with the "manpower "man-power shortage," a close friend of Senator Harley M. Gilgore of West Virginia Co-author of the Kilgore bill told us last night: "Senator Kilgore says there is no manpower shortage in this country coun-try merely an improper distribution distri-bution of workers." If Senator Kilgore is right, it seems that the war effort will not be slowed up in the least if a couple hundred ball players are permitted to continue entertain ing millions. j ATTENTION, TRAPPERS! 1 ,We pay highest prices for Muskrat Come in and see us before you sell.
