The one-day meeting of the Ma tional League doesn't open until tomorrow but rumors already are flying some of them are that the Yankees will trade Ben Chapman to the Chicago White Sox for Helnie Manush; the Giants will swap Hughie Critz for a shortstop, and that the Brooklyn Dodgers are willing to trade anybody If the deal strengthenes their lineup.
 Money Matters
 Despite the unprecedented num- Der of trades expected the sixteen baseba,, club representatives gath red here are more interested in financial problems. Both leagues are convinced that a drastic cut in operating expenses is necessary.
 Topics that will come up for plenty of discussion at the Na- tional League gathering to-mor- row, the American on Wednesday and at the joint meeting Thurs day are:
 i. Radio broadcasting. 2. Decrease in players salar- ies.
 3. Shortening of training sea- son.
 4. Decrease in the present play CT limit.
 5. Cooperative trading with an aim at strengthening the weak clubs and thus produce more sptr- ited pennant races. 6. Reduced admission prices. The magnate are expected to propose that the player limit be cut. Last year it was reduced from | 25 to 23 players. It is believed the maximum will be reduced to 22. Some clubs favor mandatory re- duction of players salaries. Others particularly the eastern teams, be- lieve the question of salaries should be left to each individual organiza- tion. Good Idea More cooperative trading will be urged to strengthen the weak sisters and produce a closer pen nant race. Also in conjunction with | this movement is a plan to create women and kids" days and to pre- vent players of opposing teams from fraternizing with one another l on the field.
 Anther proposal expected Thurs I day is one calling for a discard of the method in buying tickets for | the world series in sets of three. With the Yankees as leaders. this move is expected to win because 1 last years series fell short of a sellout in New York. Officers work CTS who could only get off single day were unable to buy one ticket.

 Los Angeles, Dec 12-(UP)-The football rules committee should take up the matter of a player los- ing his pants during a game and prescribe some course of proceed ure.
 Nicholas P. Lukats, Notre Dame halfback, parted with his during the Southern California contest and while the spectators enjoyed it., the incident proved highly embar- rassing to him.
 He started around end but Bob Erskine and Ray Sparling, South ern California tacklers, grabbed his trousers when they couldn't grab him. Lukats had travelled four yards and went another before he realized his predicament was seri- ous.

 Then he got glimpse of hi: bare knees. Lukats had plenty ol school spirit and would do almost anything for alma mater but ht made up his mind to stay with Frs Kline, Sparling and his pants.
 Having halted the Notre Dame halfback, Erskine and Sparline walked nonchalantly away.
 For the first time, Lukats heard the laughter of 100000 fans. He reckoned correctly that his quite bare anatomy was the cause. He quickly pulled his trousers to theil proper place.
 His humiliation was not com. lplete, however, for he discovered that in addition to partly undress. ing him in public, Erskine and Sparling had broken the string. that kept his brooches in position.
 Lukats figured he couldn't prop. erly attend his triple-threat du. ties if both hands were busy witf fhose faltering trousers. He rar to the sidelines beseeching aid.
