until the dates have been acted upon and the doci-

and TO see that all the newspaper men shouid get
the schedule at the same time
At the recent meeting the schedule was reached
about ! o'clock and President Young carefully I'M
rolled the printed copies and handed few OF them
10 the different delegates No action had been taken
whatever and the delegates sat back In their chafs
and started to look the document to see how
their respective clubs had been treated In the ar
rangement Of the games for the season.
An instant later there was a loud pounding at
the door of the meeting groom. and one OF the club
owners went the door to make Inquiries as to the
cause of the disturbance. The reporters asked for
the schedules and they were told that the arrange
ment OF games had not been agreed upon They
renIied that they knew better because three sched-
ules had been distributed to as many reporters In
the corridor within the last few minutes
This statement created some excitement IN the
rnceting and one Of the cub-owners demanded TO
know which one Of their number had left the room
II WAS soon found that the president or the New
York Club had been out OF the room only an IN
slant before and then the lveliest sort of debate
ensued. James Hart the president OF tho chicago
Club. arose and said that such an action was I'M
nrecedented. and ne made a motion that the next
meeting OF the National League should be held In
