Se is going to attend the meetings -so he will-know our plans" he said. The All-America will blue print Its operational plans during the two-day meeting, plans which are expected to step on the toes of the 25-year-old National league. Admittance Ad-mittance of a N JPJa. man into the All-America's charter meeting strongly indicates that the double-A double-A circuit is prepared to challenge the N.FX. under Texas rules, no holds barred. Secession' of the Tigers from the NJJj. has been in the wind since that league's annual meeting in new York a weeK ago. During the New York meeting, Gallery asked that the Tigers be allowed to play their home games in Yankee stadium. The result was that Brooklyn merged with the Boston Yanks for the coming sea-eon sea-eon and was granted permission to play one game in Yankee sta dium. Capt.

Madsen Promises Better Fishing - Slightly more -than '.two months remain before the opening of the 1945 general trout fishing season in the state, but unless unforeseen obstacles occur at the last minute Utah should enjoy one of its best years.

Monroe Mon-roe Johnson, director of the of fice of defense transportation, who said the lifting of tne ban fay that date was under consid eration although "It is not quite decided." The official order to resume op- llrations must come from Fred M. Vinson, new head of the off ice of war- mobilization, tne agency which ordered the closedown of the tracks last Jan. 3. He is ex pected to make the announce, ment later this week. Johnson. In revealing that plans were being completed for the resumption, said that the ODT restrictions against the use of special cars or train to go to race tracks would oe conunueo. To conserve transportation fa cilities and to reduce absenteeism in certain heavily industrializes areas where the reasons for the shutdown imposed by James F. Byrnes, Vinson's predecessor as war' mobilization director. Johnson made it clear that these conditions were not greatly changed now, but that some mod' if ication was to be expected fol lowing the official ending of the war in Europe. Byrnes, in one of his last acts as war mobilizer, specified that racing could be resumed immediately after V-E dav. However, the need for race track operators to make extens ive. plans in advance for re sumption df operations, probably promoted setting of a tentative date, although there has been .no official word that an end to European Eur-opean hostilities can be expected by May 10. .

Golf became so popular there that it spread to service hospitals all over the land.- Under the direction direc-tion of Leo Diegel of Philadelphia, Philadel-phia, former PGA and open champion, the golfing group set up a section in every state to build putting greens and courses as near as possible to hospital grounds. Under the system, the money raised in any one state is used only in that state. Because it took on so fast. crying need has arisen for golf instructors. As. a result, the PGA will con tinue the program it followed during the winter Jtour when the leading pros, under the direction of Craig Wood, the duration open champion, spent three days week visiting hospitals. They gave driving and pitching demonstrations, demon-strations, held golf clinics and, with Fred Corcoran, PGA tour nament manager acting as master Of ceremonies, put on quiz programs.
