New York, Dec. 6--(AP)--Since television is one subject that will bé somewhat hotter than the wea- ther (Br-r-r-r) at this week's mi- nor league baseball meetings in Minneapolis, these remarks from a big 'league executive with more than passing interest in the subject may be of some interest: "I think | television gets as many patrons as it diverts." If baseball people could say failure to televise baseball games would eliminate television entirely, then permission should not be given. This is impossible, since there will be television wheth- er the stations televise baseball or something else. All of us know baseball is the bset possible attrac- tion Video can offer, but I believe television people are enterprising enough to substitute shows inter- esting enough to hold plenty of at- tention.

A.H.L. HOCKEY CHIPS By The Canadian Press Providence Reds and St. Louis Flyers today continue to dominate their respective Eastern and West- ern sections of the American Hockey League after scoring decisive vic- 0| tories Sunday night. The high-powered Reds whipped Philadelphia Rockets 8-1 to stretch their lead 10 points with Jack McGill, veteran centre, and Billy Arcand, defenceman, pacing the at- tack with two goals each. Ray LaPlante, Jack Ham!Kon, Carl Liscombe and Jack Stoddard got the other counters while John Mahaffy notched the lone Rocket marker, Paul Gladu, Flyer, wingman, scor- ed his 100th and 101st goals since he joined the team four seasons ago as the Flyers downed New Haven Ramblers 7-3. The teams battled on near even terms for two periods but the Fly- ers found the range in the third stanza and battéd in four goals. John Mariucci, Barry Sullivan, Steve Black, Lloyd Doran and Billy McComb blinked the red light for the victors. Ramblers counters were scored by Jack Gordon, Gino Roz- zini and Jean Denis. ' Buffalo Bisons extended their un- beaten 'home streak to 11 straight, nine wins and two ties, by trounc- ing Hershey Bears 5-2. Bison snipers were Floyd Curry, who tallied twice, Doug Lewis, George Pargeter and George Agar. Herb Cain and Arnold Kullman shared the Bears' scoring honors. Sid Smith's Effort Cleveland Barons and Pittsburgh Hornets fought to a 3-3 draw with Sid Smith getting two Hornets goals. The other Hornet counter was made by Dcn Metz while Gordon Davidson, Ab Demarco and Roy Kelly got the Cleveland goals. In Saturday night games, Buffa- lo defeated Hershey 3-1, Springfield Indians and Indianapolis Capitals battled to a 2-2 stalemate, Proyid- ence and Philadelphia also 'played to a 2-2 tie and Cleveland shaded New Haven 4-3. Louis Will Fight Suitable Opponent Chicago, Dec. 6--(AP)--The ma- jority of his fans want Joe Louis to retire as undefeated heavyweight champion. But the Brown Bomber will put his title on the line next summer if a suitable opponent is found and if a $500,000 purse is guaranteed him. The 34-year-old Louis, in train- ing for his six-round exhibition against Billy Conn here Friday night, seems uncertain about who can be classed as a suitable oppon- ent. But on the subject of money, he is quite specific. Explains Joe: "I could fight exhibitions for two more years if I wanted. You get more money fighting exhibitions. In a big fight, it costs about $60,000 just for training, and then you've got to pay your manager, "This way all you pay is your trainer. If they get a boy that's go- ing to draw some money, I'll fight. | If the public thinks the boy's got a chance." Trainer Manny Seamon thinks Joe's "loyalty" to Mike Jacobs, the New York fistic major domo, may get him back in the ring for a title defence next June. "Joe personally thinks he owes Mike Jacobs a fight or two," said Seamon. --_---- Citation Named "Horse of Year" New York, Dec. 6--(AP)--To the surprise of no one who follows horse racing, Citation today was named "horse of the year" in the annual poll conducted by the Baltimore racing publication, Turf and Sports Digest.
