V By BRIAN BELL Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 11 (AP) A suggestion for the most radical change in the rules of baseball since foul balls IjWere made strike in 1901, was brought before the National j League at its annual meeting today. If the proposal, put for- ward by President John A. Heydler, is approved by the J American League and the rules committee, weak hitting pit- TChcrs will become non-hitting pitchers. President Heydler's proposal, -which met with the favor 6f the National League club presidents, probably will be .brought up at the joint meet- r il x ; 1 . (ng of the two major league? 7fn Chicago Thursday. If the American League falls in line, the rules committee could be C&lltd to meet and order thf ichanpes b'efore the next playlns raion. I . w-Jj. More than 60 pitchers were laken out of games in the Nation JLal League last season to permit 'other players to bat for them and VMr. Heydler thought it a sham- 4that pitchers who were girlng a fjcreditable 'exhibition should be K'forced from the gam to permit a u .. . tnnre ab e Datsman 10 nave a Xchance to hit.

Harder Work Foreseen ! On the face of tne suggestion ;J put forward by President Heydler -;Jt is a move In favor of the pitcher vvln that he can conserve his ener gies and fielding duties and will not be subjected to possible injurv while batting. However, there is ."another side. The average pltchei 'fe a weak batsman and in many f games . pitcher has to dispose of Z only eight hitters, his opponent oa ' the pitching mound not furnlsh Tng a very serious threat. If the new rule is put Into effect, pitch iUrs will find nine regular batsman ;j6ppoBing them every day. V- President Heydler waa re-elect- fd today for a term of four years. K fey a unanimous, rising vote. The president admitted after the meet vjg that he "got a little raise." i Vhe salary of the president, who also is the secretary and treasurer, i Is a National League secret, but Vvt le now believed to be thenelgh- feorhood of 130.000.

Because of the crowded condi tion of the statehouse it has bean necessary for a number of officials to oBfcJn offices elsewhere. Dr. V. H. Lytle. state veterin "arian, moved Monday from the second floor of the statehouse into rooms in the postofflce structure. The state prohibition department, vocational education department. and the engineering division of th state highway department, have moved fnto the Rogers building in the business district. It probably will bo necessary for other depart ments to vacate their rooms in the statehouse to accommodate the legislature. Virtually all of the rooms vacated recently will be used as committee rooms during the legislative session. A crew of painters arrived in baiem Monday from Portland to redecorate the interior of the ex ecutive department. Approximate ly a week will be required to com plete this work. It waa aaid that ome new 'furnishings would be installed. some or the stairways In the statehouse are being painted, and other Improvements are unHor way. Mr. Dunsford said the work of renovating the- various rooms probably would be completed ear ly in January;' ' Tlilfcllllllll , ..

ROBERTSON Associated Press Sports Writer CHICAGO. 111., Dec. 11 (AP) The sound of the auctioneer's gavel over the person of George Uhle, Cleveland's in and out slab ace, eclipsed the verbal barrage oi the club owners as the American League meeting opened today. Uhle, who has been awaiting his turn on the auction block since the close of the 192S season, went into the Indians' rebuilding hopper in exchange for Johnnio Tavenoer, flashy but light hitting shortstop. and Kenneth Hollo way, pitcher of the Detroit Tigers. The transaction between Roger Peckenpaugh of Cleveland, and Bucky Harris of Detroit, was the only Important , Heal of the day. The six other clubs figured in ru mored deals but none materialized. Harris showed he had no fear of .recking his infield when he sold first baseman Johnnie Neun out right to the Toledo club of the American Association, for an un announced sum. Neun was the sec ond first baseman released by the Detroit manager within a week, ffereeney having been "traded to Toronto in a deal that placed first baseman Dale Alexander in a inn UK m Tiger 'uniform.

ONG before the football son opened at Cornell University Coach Gil Dobie registered In with his annual wail of football woe. Of all the pessimistic football coaches and there are olentv who never see any silver linin to their football cloud, especially be- xore ue season opens Gil Dobie is probably the most consistent. ionff ago this became apparent .consequently ne was tagged "Gloomy GiV a nickname Which has dung to hint and will doubt less stick until he nasses out ef ue picture. LASt year Cornell checked In with three wins oat of ebrbt waicn MD i m record tend ing to chase any gloom away from the veteran handler ef gridiron warriors. It couldn't be said that last year's team, despite its showing- was not ably coached. While individual ability was sadly lack lag there was plenty of team har mony and named effort and that is always an indication of good coaching. The result of Dobie reaching waa especially noticeable la the gene wife Princeton gad the acerslesa tie with Columbia and it was alee apparent even la the gasses against Dartmouth and Pennsylvania. Dobie has plenty of material at Ithaca bat the fact that many of we canaMBios xsr ue team studying engineering and cannot get on the field until after five o'clock tends to make Gil's task a thorny one. Having stated that this year's team at -Cornell Is the worst he has ever .coached the gloomy guy has alibi-ed- himself all ovej the campus ana while loyal supporters ox tne rea machine feel that the present squad will make a better showing than that made bv the 1927 team. Dobie is still of the opinion that he hasn't what he would call a rood football team. In fact. If nnred. Gill will srloem Uy announce that he hasnt bad a good football team for a long wnne. Seventeen letter man rwunA back to Cornell this year and the rooters are hoDlnsr that' the red- jacketed machine will develop Into another outfit of the Kaw-Pfann type. But Dobie is net so optimistic "What rood are a hundred letter men." wails the dear sare of Cayuga's bills, "if there aren't any football players tmost 'em? ''George Pfann and Eddie Kaw were football players. continues Gloomy GIL They mastered the game and they loved nothing bet tor than to smash thronrh a line and drag a bunch of tacJders with them. We still have men who like to smash the line bat reeenthr I ha vent soon anv who ha the ability to master the elusive art of being a great fotball player." But Dobie, noted as the fa mous Gloom, would naturally feel ont ef place looking at things through rose-colored spectacles, so it is easy to take bis early prophecies with a grain of salt. Cornell may yet surprise the gloom dispenser. Dobie, an old timer in the foot ball business, has had a colorful career and, if for no other reason, he should be noted in th McftAr of the game for bis persistency in gioomy propneey at tne start of each new season. In his playinar days he was a rather so-so Quarterback and his first big coaching assignment came when he went to the University of Washington. While there he built up a reputation as a builder at football teams which never met de feat. Under his tntorine Wash. ington won every game played for the nine years he did the coach ing. He was coach of the Mm team for a while, following bia work at Washington, and has been on me yon at Cornell for several years. Never optimistic about .the rn- ture of any team he tutors, Dobie it yet pnu a conn and noma through with a wiAntng team. Given the material GO win tutor it into a string ef victories. Bat. even at that. Dobie with bia tear ducts dosed would not bo Dobie. , -J'- ' o COUPLE MARRIED DALLAS. Ore., Dec 11.
