Show R CE A A FTER the war there Is Certain to be a shift shUt in more than a few cities so far tar as baseball and football are arc concerned along major lines There will be a new tidal wave of ot sport a greater boom than sport I knew after the first World war In 1919 and 1920 It Is almost certain that Los Angeles Angeles Angeles An An- geles on its way to or population will nill be one of the is new v main centers In both baseball and football t With transportation transports transports- t 3 c ct stion tion so far advanced advanced ad ad- t. t and new improvements improvements im im- coming Los Angeles will be ft J i Jonly I only a few hours I II away from New NewYork NewYork I York Fork much less Detroit De De- Detroit tt troit and md Chicago Grantland nice I Los Angeles for some time has been one of ot the big I sporting centers of the country I Los Angeles has known football j crowds plus track and field crowds I above at the Olympic How many other cities can match this As a major league baseball city I doubt that any two other big league towns could outdraw this fast tast growIng growing grow grow- growing ing metropolis on the West coast Los Angeles isn't the only present minor league city eity now out to break I Into the big league show Baltimore Is another So is Buffalo Both fine prospects Baltimore has already proved tobe tobe to tobe be one of the best football spots inthe inthe in inthe the country where crowds from tram 40 to are willing to pay payout out money to see pro exhibition games and where Navy and Notre Dame pass St. St Louis is almost sure to lose I IDne one of Its major league teams Even pennant winners cant can't stir up the inhabitants inhabitants in- in inI inhabitants in in- I I habitants although both her teams have been setting the pace most of ot the present season San Francisco Is another time big spot in sport one of the best New Orleans can draw football crowds I above Rush to Pro Football The rush to professional football after the war ends will be on the i terrific side In addition to the present present pres pres- i ent pro football league I know of at least three other leagues that are under way or will be started soon These will range coast coast to coast to-coast from Irom rom Texas to the Canadian border There is hardly room enough for more mare than two football leagues So 50 the unsuccessful team will take a neat beating on the financial side Selections of cities that have spectator spectator spectator spec spec- accommodations will play a abig abig abig big part in naming the survivors Just where they will find enough talent to handle the proposed new leagues is another guess But there arc Bre more than a few willing to risk their cash eash along these lines In addition to the thc cities that make op the present major toot football ball league those under consideration Include Los Angeles Baltimore Buffalo Dallas San Francisco Atlanta and New Orleans with a second team In hi New York I I Inot One point to think about Is that I not all members of the present big league make any financial killing New York and Washington head hend the pack The Chicago Bears have done well Brooklyn had lost good money Cleveland was no mint mint and and the same goes for tor Detroit Green Bay Successful Green Bay with a serIes of ot great teams has made a fine showing for its size But I wouldn't know how much money Green Bay has hns made It will be Interesting to watch this rush to pro football when the fighting fight fight- ing ng ends It will at least be a big break for the players who can ean sit back ack and take the top offer But they will first have to be sure they will collect There should be room enough for two major leagues In football just justas as there is in baseball with the same samp world serIes arrangement for the wind But Dut the battle to establish the second league may easily be a I wild and woolly affair where the fur will be knee deep before the I finish I dont don't believe anyone can doubt there will be a large and active postwar postwar post post- I war boom in every form torm of sport There are arc too many reasons for tor I this to happen with some I veterans looking for excitement I Whether or not this boom can car I match the quality of the first post- post I World World war war boom that gave us Ruth Dempsey Bobby
