HANLoN HOT OVER SCHEDULE.
Mad Clear Through Over This Bit
of League Legislation.

Baltimore March 4.-President Hanlon
arrived here from ST Louis this after
noon. He was in good bodily health, but
his mind was much wrought up over the
schedule He is mad clear through over
this bit of League legislation. Under its
provisions. he affirms, the Baltimore club
will not make a red cent this year. and
the annoyances to which both its owners
and players will be subjected during the
coming season are unparalleled in the
history of the game. Mr.. Hanlon did not
vote for the schedule In talking of the
matter, he said:
I'VE have no Sunday or Saturday game
in Chicago, one of the big money-makins
cities of the West, and but one Sunday
in Cincinnati. There is no doubt in my
mind that others club owners have been
given what they wanted. All the money
making dates have been distributed
among the other eleven cities and Balti-
more iammed into the dates left. There
is not a single trip West upon which we
can possibly clear expenses, and we must
depend entirely upon what business we
can do at home. Last year all the money
we did make was gained from out-of-town
attendance The Baltimore team is the
best attraction the League has. and that
body has simply used us as a tool this
year to help along the weaker clubs.
