THE trouble among the maRnates over the
League schedule adopted last week is not at an
end. President Soden Of the Boston Club.
who cast Loulsville's proxy in favor Of the
document. SAYS he ia hot under the collar. He
contends that President Young erred 4 in wiring
20 Dreyfnss. and that the Louisville dates were
changed according to the request Of the mag
nates." Soden declares that he never gave his
consent TO tn. changes or voted his proxies
that way. The Boston man says he was
thrown OF his guard when Robson. in re-
Spouse TO a question about the changes. stated
that arrangements were being made to give to
Louisville moro Sunday games. Soden is at a
loss to understand why Young did not inform
him OF the nature OF the changes. Had he re-
ceived a tip as to what was up. Soden says that
he would have blocked the deal.
Il cannot understand ":.the Boston.President
remarks. why Brush. Hart and Robson
should dream OF making such a move. which
they must know was a foolish thing to do. and
detrimental to themsels yes a. much az TO others.
I viii! do my best to restore the original Louis
vile schedule to Dreyfuss."
Robson Is the first OF the alleged conspira-
tors to make . statement. and 1t teens with
sarcasm:
IT notice that Dreyfuss is greatly excited
over the schedule. A little calm consideration
will convince him that he has not been III
treated. There are plenty Of open SUNDAY
dates on which he can arrange games with
Pittsburg. Philadelphia and other Eastern
clubs. The schedule was not rs perfect as
might have been on account OF the haste with
which II was prepared. but there is plenty Of
time to understandable alterations. No objec-
ion is ever made to clubs altering the schedule
TO suit their own convenience. and Dreyfuss
will find. II he looks things over carefully. that
no has an opportunity for a great many Sunday
games"
RobIson's remarks are significant in view Of
the fact that Philadelphia and Pittsburg do not
play Sunday ball. President Young. when
asked about the trouble yesterday. said that
his skirts were clean.
Il was busy with other matters when the
schedule was altered said he. and l had no
inkllnR Of what was In the wind. l do not
care to be mixed.up In the.controversy at ALL"
1t turns out that Dreyfuss did not go to
Washington ON Wednesday. but PulIian is
there representing him. Young Is sounding
oil OF the League clubs as to the advisability
of restoring Louisville's slate and will make
an announcement In a few days. 1t looks as
