Both the national and American leagues were said to have instructed in-structed their presidents to vote for the proposals, but a move to bar the clubs from renting their parks to professional football teams before the close of the baseball season was reported headed for defeat. Unlimited night ball first was voted last summer when the 'Washington Senators and the St. Louis Browns and Cardinals led the movement No opposition was expressed to a continuance of the policy, but it was possible the joint meeting may adopt resolution reso-lution calling for a return to the old seven-game limit in post-war period. In order to make room tor returning re-turning service men on their ros- ters, some clubs championed a measure which would permit an increase of the number of players play-ers on their reserve list from 40 to 50, providing the extra 10 are ex-service men. The measure also al-so would permit the clubs to increase in-crease their active player limit from 25 to 30. Both leagues expressed ex-pressed sentiment, prior to their final separate meetings yesterday, for the increases. No announcement was made of the action taken at those meeting, meet-ing, but. word of the proceedings leaked out. The pro football proposal, ad vanced by Edward G. Barrow, president of the New York Yankees, seemed doomed to defeat de-feat because the rentals involved mean too much for the ball clubs who rent out their parks. Clark Griffith of the Washington Senators Sen-ators was said to have led the opposition to the measure. The Joint meeting today will wind up the three - day annual winter meeting. There still was some trade talk in the air, but the new draft regulations led club owners, for the most part, to hold on to what they have. Buckeye Coach Yins Top Honors NEW YORK, Dec. 13 OI.R) Carroll Curtis Widdoes, who directed di-rected Ohio State's All-Civilian football team to a perfect record season in his first year at the helm, has been selected "coach of 'tile year" by a vote of 138 head coaches in the annual poll by the New York World - Telegram, the newspaper announced today.

Jim Lookabaugh of Oklahoma A. & M. was next with six first place votes. Howard Odell, head of Yale's unbeaten eleven, and Jeff ' Cravath of the unbeaten but twice - tied Southern California team, each received five votes, and John Barnhill of Tennessee got four.

Unless capable Judges are wrong, however, Gunder the Wonder will make up for lost time when he starts attacking world indoor records in his ini tial appearance indoors in late January. The greatest distance runner who ever lived arrives in this country for his second visit immediately following the first of the year. Provided he can run on boards. and he appears built for that pur pose, Hagg should sweep seven indoor records to swell his total of world marks to 13. The MaHno haberdasher now holds every world outdoor mark from 1500 to 5000 meters, with the exception excep-tion of the mile. His best mile is 4:04.6, but he chased countryman Arne Anderson to a 4:02.6 and then a 4:01.6 the past summer. Anderson Would Help It's too bad Anderson isn't ac-com ac-com Dan vine him.

Hagg's 3:43 1500 meters is com parable to Anderson's 4:01.6 mile and the indoor record, 3:48.4, was established by Prof. Glenn Cunningham Cun-ningham in 1938. Gilbert Dodds lowered the indoor mile to 4:06.4 in Chicago in nis final appearance of the last indoor campaign. Two records at whicn Hagg is expected to shoot were hung up by Paavo Nurmi as far back as 1925 5:22.4 for 2000 meters and 8:26.4 for 3000. The Swift Swede has negotiated these distances in the exnilarating fresh air of his native land in 5:11.8 and 8:01.2. Hagg figures to wipe out J. Gregory Rice's 8:51 and 13.45.7 for two and three miles, which he has traveled in the open air in 8:42.8 and 13:22.4.

Dec. 13 0JJ9 Slammin' Sammy Snead, Byron Nelson and Sgt Jim Ferrier today to-day led a field of top-flight golf tars in the opening of the four-day four-day $7500 Richmond open. The last PGA match to be played play-ed in the San Francisco Bay re gion during this season, the tournament takes place on the 6209-yard course of the Richmond Country club. Par for the course is 71. The Oakland open last week was played on a 5932 yard course with a par 70. All of which means that the boys with the long hits and those capable of playing wind shots with a low trajectory that escape the playful breezes, will have the best chance. Leading in these respects re-spects are Sne?d, winner of the Portland open, Byron Nelson, San Francisco champ, Craig Wood and Denny Shute, former British open champion. Ferrier, however, is the man to watch. Winner over Nelson by one stroke in the Oakland match, he played an outstanding game and for the first time gave some competition to more established and well-known golfers. Challfnsing the favorites will be Jug McSoaden, leader at Oakland Oak-land until Ferrier's finnish; Ky Laffoon of Chicago, second by a stroke in the same event; Willie Goggin, third at S?n Francisco with Snesd: George Schneiter, Fifth at Oakland, John Gee risen and George F"zio.
