.DETRIMENTS To
NATIONAL CAME
To Be CHECKED
American League Club
Owners Want Home Run
Zones Established and
Pop Bottle Hurting Ended

New York, Dec. 13.--The Amer
lean league at its annual meeting
today took action to check what II
regarded as two detriments TO the
national game---home run hitting
and pop bottle throwing.
The club owners recommended
to the joint rules committee, rep
resenting both the American and
NationaI leagues, that home run
zones be established in all big
league parks to curb the abnormal
growth of circuit hitting, and
urged that steps be taken to regu-
late the sale of TT drinks so that
fans no longer would be tempted
to use the bottles as missiles,
The league, which closed its
1928 sessions late today also
voted to open the season on
wednesday, April Is. and decided
to establish a fund of $4,000 to
aid disabled ball players or their
families by setting aside $4,000
annually for five years beginning
in 1928, from the American
leagues share OF the world series
receipts.
Adjustment of opening dates
with the National league which
yesterday decided to start the 1928
campaign on Tuesday, April II,
was left to the joint schedule COM
mittee, with the understanding, 1t
was said. that the older organiza-
tion would agree to April is at a
joint date.
The action designed to curb
home run hitting was the result
of n decision of the majority of
club owners that the increased
heavy batting was n detriment to
the popularity of the game.
Col. Jacob Rupert, Yankee
owner, was understood TO have OPP
posed the zoning scheme, which
among others would have a mark
ed effect on the home run achieve
ments Of Babe Ruth, who estah-
lished the individual high mark
for all time in 1921 with fifty-nine
homers. The peak in league home
run records was reached last year
when batsmen in the two leagues
collected 1864 circuit blows, more
than 100 in excess of the best pre-
vious mark. 9S6. made in 1921.
Discussion of players deals
throughout the day in the Ameri-
can league centered around the
reported offer OF the New York
Yankees to trade Bob Meusel
Aaron Ward and a pitcher to the
Chicago White SoX for Eddie Col
Inns and Dick Kerr. but late in the
day officials of both clubs said the
deal was still in the air.

club a definite proposition for

contact through Assistant Attorney
General Cobb.
Mr.. Burns testified also that he
had seen James II. Finch, pardon
attorney in the department, who
was inquiring into the case, ana
had offered TO answer all ques-
tions. He declared he had been
amazed" by the effort to obtain
a pardon for Jones, adding that
in the seven years intervening since
the trial. there had been no sug-
gestion of any improper conduct in
connection with the prosecution of
the case.
With respect to the Mcnamara
arrests, Mr.. Burns charged that
Mr.. Gompers had sent an agent to
Los Angeles to prevent" the con-
fession of the Mcnamara brothers,
but that tho representatives had
arrived too late. Also he charged
that when the Mcnamara brothers
were arrested in Indianapolis Mr..

Gompers promptly had issued a
statement declaring the arrests to
be frame up"
Mr.. Gompers, in reply, denied
the statements and declared it was
untrue that he had "hounded' Mr..
Burns. The labor leader told the
committee it had never occurred
to him 'that this man hunter
should regard me as bounding
him." He declared that after the
Los Angeles explosion Burns went
over the country speaking at lun-
cheons and repeatedly stated that
he would "get Gompers, the man
