However, a Fighting French spokesman denied reports that De Gaulle already had received a reply from Giraud, who had suggested a meeting on French soil.

A Madrid dispatch from Algiers said Giraud was considering inviting De Gaulle to meet with him, preferably in Algiers, and all of French military and civil administration in North and Wes; Africa. Madrid reported without confirmation that De Gaulle preferred Gibraltar as a place for discussions. This report said a conference there was imminent, which was said possibly to explain the presence at Gibraltar of Viscount Lord Gort, governor-general of Malta, and Sir Samuel Hoare, British minister to Spain. The conference, it was believed, may result in a compromise uc- tu'oon thn Giraud and De.

Paced by Al Celento who shot a three-game total of 54 the Dukes swept through Fordham, 1,046, 988, and 1,024 to 974, 985, and 968. "Huck" Zimak's 563 total was unable to check the determined Dukes. Zimak also hit the high single game of 218 for the afternoon.

Dropping the opening game to the Notre Dame unit, 645 to 611, the Gaels of St. Mary's swept the final two games, 690 and 691 to 621 and 662, to move into the lead position by one game. Augie Fetcko paced the new leaders with a total of 546 while Steve Kartik's 564 which was the high total for the afternoon, to check the Gaels.

Landis meets the 16 club owners and managers in an emergency session following his confab with Joseph Eastman, director of the Office of Defense Transportation, last week. A five-point plan which was reported acceptable to Eastman is expected to be submitted to the owners by Landis at this meeting, an authortative spokesman for baseball said early today.

This meeting is expected to be the showdown and end the confusion which has clouded the baseball world ever since the annual meeting early in December when the owners returned to their respective headquarters without setting a definite course for the 1943 season. Despite the fact that nothing has been learned of Landis' interview with Eastman, some of tha club owners are confident that baseball will continue as usual during 1943, it was said. To Clear Problem It is also believed that the problem of selecting a spring training site will be cleared at this meet following a month of discussions which took place with the banning of the California and Florida sites by Eastman because of the travel involved. Only two clubs arc reported to have choseu their bases near their homes while the others decided to adopt a waiting game until a definite course was selected. Should the clubs decide to adopt home training bases, it is almost certain that the opening date will be delayed to give the players an opportunity to prepare properly for the strenuous season-Five Points Proposed The following are the five points which are believed to be acceptable to Eastman and which Landis will present to the club owners tomorrow: 1.

i A reduction in the major league schedule from 151 games to 140. 2. Selection of April 27 as the season's opening day instead of April 13. 3. Longer series so as to reduce intersectional trips from the currently planned three to two (the clubs made four cast-west swings last year.) 4.

Open dates between long "jumps" so us to make use of Pullmans unnecessary. 5. Reduction of the size of traveling squads from 25 to 20 players. San Francisco's Montgomery Street, the "Wall Streey.if the WiW," now Ijalf a dozen up-tovW was le-titf ci' manding lead and place the fa vored Gunners "behind the proverbial eightball. The Buccos played the locals right off their feet and before the Simsmen knew what is was all about, they watched the Buccos pile up a substantial lead which appeared to be as dusive as the jamous corner ot the 1932 presidential election.

Ahead At the Half Drawing the first blood with a long shot, the Buccos flashed speed and form as they kept the ball away from the Gunners for the most part of the first quarter and with the whistle ending hostilities at the end of the initial period, Coach Namit's Buccaneers held a commanding 10-4 lead and appeared to be a cinch to win. While the Gunners picked up speed in their second quarter attack somewhat, it was not sufficient to overhaul the spirited Buccos who were out to win at all cost and better than matched the Gunners in swishing the cords Chartiers added nine points in the sfcond period while the Gunners taljied eight to hold a 19-12 advantage at the halftime intermission. Strnisa and Donaldson were the big guns for the Buccos in the first half as both cagers registered six points, Strnisa's coming on two goals and two free tosses while Donaldson sunk three buckets. Mazza, Costello and Beppler each counted for four points for the Gunners' 12. Gunners Apply Pressure Following tbe first half whistle, the Gunners applied the pressure in the third period and with Cap tain Jim Mazza heading the seor ing parade while his mates fed him the ball, the Gunners outscored the gallant Buccaneers 10-7 to trim three points off the lead: mar gin.

With the game moving into the final period, the Gunners still trailed the Bucs on the short end of a 26-22 count but the ranginess and stability ot the Gunners prov ed to aid in the victory as the Gunner defense held the Buccos scoreless from the field and allowed them just one point scored ou the foul line. Uchal Breaks Tic The Gunner offensive went on the move and tallied four points in rapid succession to knot the score at 2-all. From this point on, a hot battle waged as the two teams attempted to break the ice. Uchal was successful as he took a pass down in the far corner and shot a beauty into the hoop to place the Gunners in the lead. Mazza's foul followed to give the Gunners a three-point lead which was cut to two points as the Buccos added a foul shot.

The game ended with the Buccos trying desperately to regain the victory which was snatched, i'roua within their grasps in the final moments of the game. 27 Fouls Called Captain Jim Mazza headed the Individual scoring' parade by sinking five goals and live fouls to tally 15 points. Strnisa headed the losers with 10 coming on three goals and four fouls. That both units were out to win will be noted in the fact that 27 fouls were called on the two teams by Referee Grovcr and Gregg Peterson and Jack Hopper were lost to the Gunners in the fourth period and Donaldson was ejected from the game for the Buccos for tour fouls.

WAR MANPOWER BOARD TO TRY MODEST PLANS Critical Period Will Deter mine Whether Voluntary Stailization is Sufficient Jan.

4. (U.R The War Manpower Commission today entered a critical 90-day period which may determine whether voluntary forms of manpower controls can wipe out specific labor shortages. Voluntary controls, called job stabilization programs by WMC officials and "freezes" by the laymen, have been put into effect in the lumber industry of the Pacific Northwest and in non-ferrous miu-ing on an industry basis, and in Detroit and Baltimore, among others, on an area basis. The lumber and non-ferrous mining programs come up for WMC review this month. Representatives of management and labor are coming here to discuss them.

War Manpower Commission Chairman Paul V. McXutt has been optimistic concerning these programs but administration sources have said that the problems of shortages can be solved only by legislation permitting "drafting" of labor. Such legislation, they said, will be asked early this year. Meantime, WMC published a re-Hed list of its shortage-surplus areas, umeiais are predicting that some form of job stabilization agreement will be in effect iu.all 272 by the end of March.
