the magnates Of the American league
Tucceeded in breaking all records yes

sreasing the salary of their president,
amending the baseball laws governing
The claiming OF released players. and
deciding on a plan Of action In dealing
With the attempt Of the National league

The text Of the schedule shows that
Johnson has dealt fairly with every club
IN the circuit He has distributed the
''plums," or, in other words, the good
things" without fear or favor. Chi
cago. by Johnson's dispensation, gets
thirteen Sundays and eleven Saturdays
at home. Detroit receives a fair deal
on. the big dates. The Tigers play on
their home grounds on the Fourth of
July, with Buffalo as their opponent, and
on Decoration day with Indianapolis La
bor day the Detroit team is in Chicago,
and from a baseball point of view, La
Dor day is one of the best days in all
the year Milwaukee secures her share
of the choice dates both at home and
abroad, and Minneapolis has not
been forgotten, for Chicago, admittedly
one Of the strongest drawing cards in the
circuit. plays in that picturesque town
on the Fourth of July. Indianapolis has
a good, even schedule from statt to fin
ish, and as Sunday ball is not allowed
by law In the Hoosier metropolis, the
season in that city will begin on April 49,
PLUMS FOR MANNING.
The genial Jimmy Manning, who owns
the Kansas City plant, has not been for
gotten. He has been given his full quota
of Sunday games, and his holiday dates
will undoubtedly yield big money, for
he has strong attractions scheduled to
appear on these fete days The baby
member of the league. viz, Cleveland
has been well cared for; while Milwau-
kee has no cause to complain. Matt
Killilea, the owner Of the Cream City
aggregation, makes no secret Of the fact
that he wants to win the pennant this
year. and the best proof of his sincerity
is rough estimate of the money he has
spent in securing new material for the
team. When the Brewers make their
bow at the South side grounds on April
19 they will represent a cash investment
as regards new players purchased from
the National and minor leagues of over
$4,000. If the members of this team
j. play up to their last yeurIs form the club
that wins the American league pennant
VIII find Milwaukee a close second On
paper Milwaukee is strong enough to
make credftable showing in any league.
and the best proof that President John
son appreciates the enterprise of Killilea
and his associates is that he has given
them an evenly balanced and altogether
satisfactory allotment of dates.
Aid Franklin. who owns the Buffalo
club, and honestly believes that his team
has an even chance for first honors is
also satisfied with the schedule. In truth.
It Is safe to assert that the club owners
never before accepted a schedule as
quickly and without the usual protest
as the American leaguers did yesterday.
FRISBIE CASE
Then the case of Outhelder Frisbie was
taken up. Frisbie is the clever center
fielder who made his reputation as a
high class ball player in the Western
league He played with Tom Lotus In
Grand Rapids last year and he figured in
a deal with the Boston club by the terms
of which Frisbie was to be returned to
LOTUS under certain conditions When
LOTUS transferred the Grand RAPIDS
team to the new Cleveland club this year
Frisbie was numbered among the assets.
but Boston, or at least the eminently re-
spectacle president of the Boston club,
Mr.. Soden, ignored Lotus claim and
gave F'risbIe to New York. LOTUS i'm
