MAGNATES
 AGAIN IN SESSION
Question Of Shortening Sched-
 u!es to Be Discussed

New York, Dee. II LP)-National and American league magnates as sembled at the Hotel Commodore
 today for the second session of the
 annual marathon talking contest
 with the question of shortening the
 schedules the most important bus
 mess before the two houses. The
 National league yesterday went on
 record as fayoring the shorter sea son, and a poll Of the rival circuit showed the Barnard magnatcs also
 ready to vote affirmatively upon a September 2S closing.
 Both leagues today were ready to take up the question of broadcast ing regular league games, but this issue. like the schedule matter, doubtless will be finally decided only at the joint session tomorrow.
 The chief item before the open ing session of tho two leagues yes terday was that of requiring clubs purchasing franchises in smaller cir cults 10 make q formal report of any such transaction to Commissioner Landis, 10 the two major leagues and 10 the National Association of Professional baseball league Con- missioner Landis put this question before the magnat"S. pointing out that since such reports now were made of individual player purchases, such action was even more necessary when an entire team of players was acquired.
 Commissioner Landiss plan is not retroactive, but steps doubtless will be taken 10 prepare record of in tcrlocking ownership interests now for the guidance of all base ball. The National lcague magnates acted faVorably upon the commis- sioncr's plan, but deferred definite decision until the joint meeting to- morrow. The American league be lievcd the question could better be solved by restoring the universal draft.
 The National league adopted q memorial resolution praising the work of the late Colonel A. G. Mills as president of the circuit in 1883 and 1884, Colonel Mills died at his summer home on Cape Cod last Au- gust.
 The National league elected q di- rcctoratc composed of Barney Drey- fus of Pittsburgh: Charles S. Stone ham of New York: William Neeck Of Chicago and Emil r.. Fuchs of Boston, Tho shift of American league directors provided for in the brought into office JH- cob Euppert of New York; Robert lluinn of Boston: Ava Bradley of -levcland and Charles Conskey of Chicago.
 The veNing deadlock among war ring factions of the Brooklyn club 0f the National league was broach- ,d only in President John =. Hoyd- cr'S report 10 the club owners. President Heydler merely said that he hoped the two faction would meet.' As matters stand, Wilbert Robinson cannot be busted as presi- lent by the MCkeevcr interests, but ean be deprived of his job as man. tger. Since Robertson himself could 'rcate a deadlock on the question of l new manager, it is unlikely that he will be moleStcd.

City Plan Commission to Await
 Council Committee Action

Members of the city plan com mission have decided to do nothing further 10 bring about cstablish- mcnt of an airport here until d special committee of the common council completes it's inquiry and reports to the common council.
 Officially, the airport movement had its beginning in the city plan commission meetings. A public hearing took place several months ago, at which many expressed a de sire to see a landing field laid out, but nothing was done at the time because of the lack of an appropria- ton.
 It had been the commissions plan to continue work along this line. but the council action in ap- pointing special committee alter ed tho program.
 A meeting of the board was held last night at the office Of the mayor, with Chairman George A, Quigley in the chair.
 The proposed new entrance 10 Willow Brook park from Kensing- ton avenue was considered. City Engineer Philip A. Merriam, present as clerk Of tho board. was instruct cd 10 have detailed maps drawn and presented 10 tho next meeting.
 Ii is proposed 10 extend Wolch a,onu" to the park grounds. This will require utilization Of privately owned property: but the holder of title to that land has offered to dood it without cost to the city for highway purposes.
 Chairman Quigley suggested con sidoratjon of the plot in the rear of HannaS block on Main street as d hus terminal. The land was for many years tho site Of the Elhu Burritt homestead, and has been considered as Fl means hy which Main street might he extended to Washington street. II was the opin- ion of board members, as express cd last night, that the cost of this work would h" excessive. since DOT tions of three buildings would be removed.
 IT q bus terminal is established cars of all lines will have their place of waiting off the highway Several suggestions for relieving traffic congestion. all having refer- "nce to the bus problem. have been considered by the commission. hut inc one contemplating usc of the Burritt plot is considered most feas- iblc.
 A statement Of probate costs in connection with extension of West Pearl street 10 Franklin square will he prepared for the next meeting. Removal of two houses is involved and highway work will add S6. GOO to the cost of purchasing this realty.

The Lutbcrans have four victories in q row to their credit and are hopeful Of complct- ing their schedule without bOvinp to an opponent, and they can point 10 their previous 45-22 win over the Bethany team as an indication that they arc superior. Tonight, however, they will be without the services of their kingpin, Ray Hoist, and they
 may find 1t a difficult task to replace this player Oscar Erickson may be used to fill the gap and, having play cd center for the Luthcrans before. should do a good job of it, so the loss may not be an irrcparablc one.
 The Bethany team has been hay ing one of those seasons in which It puts up terrific battle in every game and then is beaten al inc last minute. Tonight if hopes to throw off this jinX and turn in q win over its rival. The game will begin at 1:%o o'clock.
 In the second game of the eve ming the South Congregational and St. Marks Episcopal teams will play. The St. Marks are smarting under the 1922 score piled up against them by the South church three weeks ago, and they are de- termined 10 put up d fierce battle this evening.

A number of interested people have quoried us asking why it was we didn't rise up to defend sports writers in general against the at tacks of Bob Patterson. We have often felt that the estate of the sports writer was such that it nccd- ed no defense. Coaches kick against what the sports writers say about their football teams while, as a matter of fact, many of them would be out of job were it not for the "slush" that the sports writers write about them and their star products.
