Local sportsmen have rallied to the suggestion voiced by a Canadian here last week for the deyelopment of a duck-breeding area across the northern border. George Fanset, chief engineer of Ducks Unlimited, a Canadian organization not affiliated with the Sc. Louis duck hunters' group, fired a challenge to outdoor men during Or Without Indians' BY JACK CUDDY.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3. (UP) Alva Bradley, president of the Cleveland Indians, apparently has borrowed for his personal wartime use the cry baby" bunting which swaddled 12 revolting Indian players in 1940. At least that's the impression one gets from major league reaction to Bradley's latest lament of pessimism about the future of baseball. Other major league magnates do Don Reece Going To Notre Dome As Nftvy Trainee his address before the Missouri Duck Hunters Association.

He said that $5,000 would be sufficient to finance construction of dikes, dams and diversion ditches for "Lakes St. Louis on a site near Hanna. Alberta.

All rieht, gentlemen, the clan needs $4,990. If the duck -breeding area is to become a reality it is up to other sportsmen to finance the deal Fanset found an enthusiastic response to his talk about a permanent fountain of duck production. In this instance, however, "money talks." You can't construct darns and dikes, purchase property up in Alberta, with applause at a banquet table. This Is where the Missouri Duck Hunters' Association enters the picture. It will be up to members of that organization to trump the initial $10 contribution until the toal of $3,000 is reached.

Acme Photo. Creadon Leaves For New York Plans Confab BY DONALD H. DREES. President Sam Breadon of the Cardinals took a train this afternoon for New York where he will take part in the meeting of Judge K. M.

Landis' Postwar Planning Commission Saturday. Breadon will be joined in the east by his two minor league supervisors, Eddie Dyer and Joe Mathes. President Donald L. Barnes of the Browns is already in New York for unofficial "cloakroom" meetings with other baseball officials. No member of the Browns, however, will take part directly' in the commission's meetings.

Geneial Manager William O. De-Witt and Jimmy Conzelman, the public relations director of the Browns will leave tomorrow noon to join in the sideline confabs and attend the annual Nev York Baseball Writers' Association dinner on Sunday. Breadon, before leaving, commented that he didn't expect much conclusive action at the meeting "because we won't have time in one day to more than spade up a few ideas and problems." Before completing plans for his departure, Breadon decided to put his player contracts in the mail, and this matter is being concluded' today at the Red Bird offices. The Cardinal prexy revealed that he is giving raises to a majority of the members of his second successive National League championship team. All except approximately three players must be signed, since there are no holdover contracts.

It is known that Stan Musial, league leading hitter and "Most Valuable Player" signed last fall for three years. At least two others have been signed for 1944. but Breadon, in keeping with his usual policy, declined to name them. DeWltt pointed out that all of the Browns contracts have been mailed out with the exception of one or two. No returns have been received, however.

Gloomy Alva suggested that the major leagues suspend operations, rather than present "a low form of comedy" due to manpower shortages during the 1944 season. Reply Is 'Nertz! The general reaction to this suggestion was an angry "nertz!" It was a reaction quite similar to that which greeted Bradley's depressing dissertation on November 25, 1942, when he said he would rather not open his ball park for the '43 season than to have the "wolves" asking his players, "why aren't you in the army, you big lug?" Commissioner Landis rebuked Bradley for that '42 statement. It could happen again. After Bradley made himself a target this week with his suspend-operations suggestion, the boys wound up and threw some fast ones. Secretary Eddie Brannick of the New York Giants emphasized that Bradley would have to surrender his American League franchise and declare his men free agents if he should attempt to withdraw from competition.

Brannick declared that baseball will carry on, "with or without the Indians." Warren C. Giles, general manager of the Cincinnati Reds, said. "We are planning to operate and not with any 'low form of If that Is all Cleveland can offer, or expect to offer, it should quit." "Baseball Can't Quit."

Vice-President Eddie Collins of the Boston Red Sox assured, "We feel here that we can continue and will make every effort to do so." President Bob Quinn of the Boston Braves said, "Bradley's statement comes from a mind disturbed by players being taken into service.

I can agree that the game will be inferior. We will go on, no matter what our losses, to do our bit for the morale of the lads in uniform." President William Benswanger of the Pirates added: "Pittsburgh has spent a lot to acquire players for the coming season and we expect to continue as usual." Griffith Not Alarmed.

It will not help any special consideration for any sport, except for the type of conslderatioas given to all businesses.

McMurphy said his duties will be to supply general policies for sports insofar as they do not interfere with other agencies such as the Office of Defense Transportation and War Manpower Commission; to see that an essential amount of recreation is provided for the public; to see that fair and proper consideration is given to any issue affecting recreation, and to determine and provide maintenance, repair and operating supplies for the continuance of proper recreation facilities. public relations of professional McMurphy revealed that at the time of President Roosevelt's proposal for a national service act the WPB was considering the appointment of a "co-ordinator of professional sports." The Idea was dropped after conversations with Landis and Layden, he said. "The WPB expects professional sports to continue and hopes they do," McMurphy said. -In our judgment, there ts no serious question that they will continue in 1914. "There are many club owners who are sincere persons and they seem to have a question in their minds about whether they are doing the right thing in permitting their clubs to operate In wartime.

After the encounter he said he hadn't learned much, but the manuscript under his arm seemed bulging with notes, facts, figures and secrets'.

Dehner is conducting a talent search among squad members to find a "fifth man" to round out his varsity. Gene Ferguson.

Jack Eaves, Jim Hess and Bill McFarlane are the leading candidates for the No. 5 spot. Dehner's success in fitting one of these players into his cage machine may mean the difference between victory and defeat, so Pick is giving each one a real workout. In these days of fire-wagon basketball it is a rare day, indeed, to talk about defense to a coach; but both Dehner and Placek seem to have nothing but defensive tactics in mind now. Dehner used a zone defense Tuesday.

This made Placek practice yesterday on ways to crack a zone. Meanwhile the Kahoks are cooking up some defensive tricks.
