uled for formal discussion. 1--Radio broadcasting. 2--Reduction of the player limit from 26 to 21 or 22 players. 3--Readjustmert of the waiver rule and price.
 4--Curtailing of moving up games for synthetic doubleheaders. 5--Reduction of umpires from three to two for each game. While the National and Ameri- these important matters in separate executive sessions to-day and to- morrow and in joint session of the will attempt to strengthen their lineups for next season by trades. One of the first players expected home run king of the majors who ended the 1881 season in suspen- sion. The Chicago Cubs have deals pending forf him with Brooklyn and Boston Braves.
 Trade Winds Blow It was said that Brooklyn had offered Dazzy Vance for Wilson, but that the Cubs wanted Johnny Frederick, center fielder. To get Frederick the Cubs were ready to give wilson and considerable cash. The Cubs have given up hope of getting Chuck Klein, because of the large price tag attached to the Phillies outfielder. l.. C. Rush, owner of the Phillies,. has an- nounced that any club can have Klien-for $25O,000.
 The Chicago White sox, who al- ready have made trades with Washington and the Boston Red Sox. involving seven players, have 6 couple of other deals pending with the New York Yankees and St Louis Browns. Manager Lew Fonseca of the White Sox wants Tony Lazzeri, veteran infielder, but is unwilling to give up We E'rasier, young .r1ght-hander want ed by the Tanks.
 Another Battle
 The fight to bar radio broadcasts completely from major league parks is being led by the Western Union Telegraph company which has q yearly contract with the two majors for the sole privilege of sending all news and information tns DuIhos 1HC lC0b uOb also are against the broadcasting of big league games, particularly in the cast and midwest where 1t hurts the attendance at minor league games.
 Several steps toward economy will be considered by the magnates. chief among them reduction of the player limit from 25 to 22 as sug- gested by the American league and 21 as suggested by the Ma tional league. Another step to cut expenses includes reduction of the umpires at each game from three to two.
 Although the minor leagues last week adopted maximum salary limits the majors are not expected to take any action in that direc- ton but allow each club to slash salaries to suit its own pocketbook.

To-Day's Sport
 P ra d e
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent


 New York, Dec 8.-UP)-The jury system of deciding tie games having worked 50 satisfactorily in the various round robin football tournaments, there Is now some talk Of applying the system to reg ulation contests.
 If the rules committee does de- eide to settle deadlocked games by first downs. aggressiveness. color scheme of uniforms, spOrtsman- blocked punts, intercepted passes and quality of cheering, Pop War ner probably will get good laugh. For old Man Warner suggested such q thing several years ago and was given q polite but whole-heart- ed bowl of razzberrieS
 Personally, 1 think the idea Is q very elegant one for trick affairs such as round robins were the teams play for less than half an hour, but a trifle silly and cock eyed for regular. full-length games. After all. Bo long as a touchdown is the main object of the game (out- side of character building. of course) what goes on out there In the middle of the field is highly unimpor.ant unless 1t enables q runner to cross the goal line.
 With touchdowns the big thing, fail to see why team should be given q great deal of credit for rais- ing the devil out in midfeld or thereabouts. Of course, if touch downs didn't count for go much, then l could see more sense in the jury system.
 Furthermore, 1t Just knows ray sense of balance out of the window to read a headline: Yale beats Brown 0 to 0.
 The next thing you know they'll be telling you brunettes are better looking than blondes.
 Another thing cant understand is why a tie is so obnoxious to American sports fans. Is it be- cause of their almost fanatical de- sire to know what team, what in- dividual, is best in each sport. Lots of folks think this is true, and are able to offer you quite 4 bit Of evidence in support of their theory
 Right now, for example. tennis fans are clamoring for an open championship. Why? To prove once and for all who is the best player. professional or amateur. in all the world.
 Several years ago when Bot Jones and Walter Hagen were al the top of the amateur and pro- fessional golf heaps. the fans de- manded 10 know which was the better. The national open tourna- ment was not enough. A special match had to be arranged.
 In amateur boxing the boys fight three rounds, and then. if tho judges can't decide the winner. tho boys must step another round.
 Nearly every other sport y0l can name provides for extra play if the count is tied at the end oi the regulation time. There mus be no ties, if it is at all possibl' to avoid it.

Budapest, Hungary, July IT, (UP)-George Endres and Alexan- der Magyar, transatlantic flyers, were national heroes to-day.
 Joyful cheering throngs lauded the men who spanned the Atlantic in their monoplane, Justice for Hungary, and narrowly escaped death when they were forced down 15 miles outside Budapest, their goal, last night.
 Despite failure to land in Buda- pest with their propaganda plane -the daring flight was inspired by a desire to call world attention to purported injustices done to Hun gary after the World war-their pluck in flying it until the gaso- line tanks went dry and they cracked up, fired popular imagina- tion.
 Neither was injured, but the plane lost its propeller and one wheel of the landing gear in the perilous landing at Bicske, outside Budapest. They had pushed on to the last minute, although their motor was faltering and they knew their gasoline supply was low.
 In sight of Budapest, they heard their motor die, landed in a soft field. Emerging from the plane after 26 hours and 16 minutes of flying from Harbor Grace NED, Magyar went to a nearby railway station and telephoned the news of their landing to Budapest. A passenger plane was sent out and they were transported the final IS miles of their journey to a tumul- tuous reception at the Matyasfold airdrome in Budapest. r

The officers were given in- structions at police headquarters and armed with warrants and &C., cording to reports working under sealed orders" accomplished their purposes without advance notices being sent out.

 Tn addition to policy slips seven gambling machines worth at least $1,000 were seized. The machines are now at police headquarters awaiting destruction. The neces- sary waivers are expected to be signed when the defendants are ar- raigned tomorrow morning.
 Including the early morning raid of last Monday morning when a huge still was captured in a garage on Railroad Hill street and its two frequenters fined a total of s900, the present week has been an un- eventful one in police circles and for some of the boys" around town.
