American Turns Thumbs Down on Heydler's i I I TEN-MAN LINEUP IDEA VOTED DOWN Altho Defeated, Provides Only Spark of Life in Major Meetings. Dec.

American league club owners, at their session here Wednesday, voted unanimously against the proposal. The junior loop owners apparently were agreed that any changes in rodf unnecessary, and, except for several minor amendments suggested by the Xa-O BARRED BY BIG TEN, MAY JOIN PROS tional Advisory Council, it is unlikely that the joint session will transact much business. The 1928 sessions will go down in history as thp most tranquil and unimportant ot rfcent years.

Wednesday's American league bublness session resulted in the rejection of an invitation from the minor leagues to participate in a conlereucs on the player draft at West Baden, and the refusal support for the Heydier "ten player" proposal. The ouly othei business was the i ol Frank J. Navin, of Uetioit. as vice president of the league and the election of the presidents of the St. Louis, Detroit, Philadelphia and Washington clubs as league directors for 1928.

"For the last ten years all rule changes have been in favor of the batsman," Miller Huggins of New York said concerning the tenth player, "Heydler's idea would make things still tougher for pitchers. Of course it would be pretty nice for us if Ruth's legs went bad and could save him to bat for the pitcher three or four times a game, but it would mean that every club would have to pick up sluggers of little use in other departments of the game." Like To Hit "Lena" Blackburne, i a White Sox manager, pointed out that the average pitcher regards himself as a good batsmen and enjoys hitting. According to rumor, a deal between the Athletics and Yankees, whereby Ben Paschal, outfielder, will be traded to the Macks for Eddie Rommell. pitcher, is likely to be completed.

Re-entry had been recommended bj all but one high school athletic director. The city tournament, which is participated in only by Omaha and Council Bluffs schools will be played as usual, it was decided.

FOOTBALL'S GREATEST MARTYR Some of Press Pests, in Between-Halves Conversation, Discover Greatest Hero of All--He Makes Supreme Sacrifice. BY JOHN W.

KEYS. (In Chicago Daily Kens.) A BUNCH of boys -were Tvhooping it up in a bulling session between rv halves in the press bos at a recent football game. The talk swung to martyrism in the game. "My idea of the real martyr is the lineman," said one of the mysterious unidentified non-working gentlemen who clutter up press boxes in such large and enthusiastic numbers. "He does the work and.

takes ths smacks and the backfield guys get the glory." "What about the bird who always runs as interference for a ball carrier?" inquired another. "HeO throws himself at a tackier so the other guy can go on for a touchdown and get the ballyhoo." Braden Speaks. And then up spoke Jim Braden, who used to be fullback for dear old Yale. "Now," says ilr. Braden, "if you're all thru I'm going to tell you of the greatest martyr that ever walked off, or rather got carried off a gridiron.

He was a sub guard for one of the big eastern teams. He was such a sub I can't recall his name now. "Well, about ten years ago this team was playing W. and J. At that tune Britt Patterson was playing guard for W.

and and when I say playing guard I mean playing guard. Britt wasn't so tall, but he weighed about 260 and looked like a box car approaching sideways. He just leaned against one side of the line and it elL If he saw a guy sneak- Leila Brooks Breaks Mile Skating DETKO1T. Dec. --Leila Brooks of Toronto broke the world's indoor record at the Mardi Gras last night by skating a mile in 3:13 4-3 cutting more than five seconds off the old mark held by Eleie Mueller.

She also made new state records of 46 seconds and 1:36 2-5 in the 440 and 880 yard dashes. ing around end he'd stick out a fln- ger and down him. "This day the other side was running into disaster every time they tried to get thru Britt's side of the line. It was obvious something had to be done about it. So along in the last half came this sub into the game.

Good Old Glare "Now Britt and the who'd been playing oposite him had a habit of rising in their tracks just before signals were called and glaring at each other, their noses about a foot apart. Just stand there and glare, then down they'd go and bam! "Well, as I said, came this sub and he and Britt began glaring at each other. It was growing dark. About the third plaj while they're standing there glaring, this sub hauls off very unobtrusively and expectorates squarely in Britt's face. It was one of those fine streams between the teeth, you know.

Now, as I said, it was dark and none of the officials saw the spitting. "But they did see Britt hit him. Everybody saw that Nearly everybody felt it. Britt bounced one off his jaw and the fullback caught the guy. They carried him away ana laid him down gently.

And Britt, of course, Trent out for the rest of the game That, gentlemen, is what I'd call martyrism."
