American association isn't going to roll over and play dead just because some of its club owners have visions of a third major league--at the expense of dis- membeiing the association. Thomas J.

Hickey, president of the association, so declared to the United Press tonight. Hickey said he was aware of reports that three or tour club owneis contemplated withdrawing trom the cucuit and joining with International league club owners in the formation oi new league, but that he knew nothing: of it "officially." "If such a maneuver is attempted, we will be ready for them," declared Hickey. "We don't contemplate any such "trouble, but if it comes, the league will fight." Hickey refused to divulge his PUn of battle, saying that to do so would leave the association open to any contemplated offensive. The four teams expected are reported to be Indianapolis. Louisville, Toledo and Columbus.

They are said to be considering uniting with Baltimore, Montreal, Toronto and Buffalo, -with the Baltimore franchise probablv transferred to Chicago. Hickey declaied specifically that he knew Columbus, of which Joe Tinker, former Cub and Chicago federal league manager, is piesident, will "remain loyal." g- ths merits of their victory. st TV amors twice planted the behind the Nebraska goal, Trinity All Stars Play Tie With Beatrice Eleven The Trinity Stars football team went FABER TAKES HIS PLACE AMONG SELECT FEW OF BASEBALL CHRISTY COOX1J33. to Beatrice Saturday and played a with Harmon's Beatrice team, resulting in a tie of 19 to 19.

Feeling that Norfolk gave them; tho hardest tussle of tho season. Coach Miller's aggregation last night were confident that only defeat at tho hands of the Omaha athletes would prevent them from copping another champion- bin pennant. The G9 to 0 score which the Mulligan proteges piled up against the Beatrice youths last Fiiday indicates that Omaha has a powerful scoring machine and Lincoln is well aware of the fact that it will be no easy task to triumph over the pupils of the former Lincoln coach.

Tho "Lincoln team took the Jump right nt the btart in Saturday's game but after registering two touchdowns, one teach In the first two periods, the scrappy visitors held the Red and Black scoreless for tho remainder of the g-ame. Several times during the seeond half the Lincoln team took tho ball to within easy scoring distance, but in each instance Norfolk put up a wonderful stone wall and the local boys lost the ball on downs. Both teams fumbled, more or less, during the third and fourth quarters and penalties were Some members of tho ILncolh team resorted to slugging but this of poor sportsmanship xvas overlooked by tho officials and penalties inflicted. Lincoln had the advantage over the visitors in weight Two successful forward passes, which netted good gains, figured prominently in the Lincoln team's march to the touchdowns. During tho second half both teams tried tho open game freely, but there was no "outclassing" in this department.

Captain Verne Moore, of Lincoln, won tho toss and chose to defend the west goal. Hight halfback Lamb made a fifty yard return of Slmpkln's kick- oft and tho ball was carried to Nor- folks' 30-yard line. A few lino plunges brought tho oval to the 23-yaid line, whiere Mockett attempted a drop kick. Noi folk blocked the kick and recovered the ball. RoscnthaU Norfolk's star halfback, lived up -to his reputation and started the visitors' offensive with an end run that was good for nine yards.

A series of line smashes, in which Rosenthal took the principal role, was followed by an attempted forward pass. Cypreansoii intercepted and Lincoln took possession of the ball in the center of the field.

Score: Lincoln, 12; Norfolk. 0. Captain Moore was injured shortly before the touchdown, was made and he was forced to leave his team. Girard was substituted.

The oval was exchanged by both teams in line plunges and at the close of the first half, Lincoln was in possession of the ball on the Red and Black, 40-yard line.
