WILL PROTEST AGAINST
 SHORTENING OF SEASON
National League Big Chiefs Will Go To Joint Meeting With Bou-
 quetS and TomahaWks

New York. Dec. Rl-Big chiefs of ths National league will go to the joint meeting of the two major circuits in Chicago about two weeks hence with bouquet for Commis- sioner Landis in one hand and a to.aahawk in the other.
 Figuratively speaking. that Is the situation as seen bY John A. Heyd- Ter, president of the senior league, who forecasts a strong protest from owners against the commissioners proposal to further abbreviate the playing season.
 Although the league unanimously favors reelection of Landis to an- other seven-year term, the latter's plan for closing the season on the last Sunday in September would be unsatisfactory and unavoidable" says Heydler. Three non-playing Sunday teams In the league would compel too many double-headers. in tho opinion of the National league president.
 Heydler agrees with Col. Jacob Ruppert of the Yankees that a com mittee of three from each of the major circuits should be appointed to thresh out points of friction be. tween the two leagues"
 ''As things go now. the leagues are often at loggerheads just for want of proper understanding as to each others viewpoint" explained Heydler.

n many moons.

The question naturally arises as to whether Kaplan is burned out" or not. We question this until he has fought few more battles and has shown that he has started on the downward path. Kaplan, it is true. has taken great deal of punishment in his seven years in the ring and this may have had a bad effect on him.
 Still the windmill" from Meri- den has, been the greatest little fighter we have ever seen and we cant believe that he has started on downward grade. Rather we be- lieve, as We stated yesterday. that the former featherweight champion has received the best lesson any fighter could receive and he will be better for it.
 We draw our conclusion from the showing Kaplan made in Hartford against Billy Petrolle, called the Fargo. Express" In that battle, Kaplan had everything and Petrolle had nothing.
 Now If it is true that Petrolle is the logical contender for the light weight crown now being worn by Sammy Mandell. then it seems to us that kaplan could easily wade through the lightweight ranks to take the title from him. However, it is startling upsets such as hap pened the night before last in Cleve- land that make the fight game 50 uncertain and Kaplan will have a hard row to hoe before he again comes back to where he was before the fight with Bobby Wallace.
