EAsTERN LEAGUE DATEsy;

sh3 EASTERN LEAGUE DATES95t Toronto, Ont, April 9.-4Owing to- The impossibility of getting the Toronto base ball grounds ready, the opening games with Buffalo and Rochester have been transferred to those cities. Rochester instead of playing here on May 6, and 8, will come to Toronto on July 24, 9 and 27. Buffalo dates here have been changed to September 4, , and 6.
 Jimmy McJa1fes. the former Brnok- lyn twirler who retired in '99 to prac- tice medicine at his home in South Carolina, has been induced to return to the game and Saturday he signed contract with Brooklyn. The acqui- sition of McJames gives Hanlon five seasoned twirlers in Kennedy, Hughes, Kitson and AIcCann and it is very probable that Willie Donayan and Steelman willsbe returned to Hartford providing they consent to the change.
 This year each of the Giants will be supplied with two uniforms, white and gray. Tn addition, there will be added to his wardrobe a handsome military coat of black broadcloth, in which he will be attired when roam ing around the coaching lines. or am- bling to and fro in front of grand stand or bleachers. Yesterday there were measurers and markers in the club house on Manhattan field, and one by one the New York players were fitted for their new togs.
 The New Works will meet Yale on Wednesday and Princeton on Satul. day. Notwithstanding the fact that President Soden of Boston cancelled the game with the Yale team at Nor, folk, ,AVa, on Saturday, because Yale had played on Friday with an Ameri can league club, the New York man. agement has decided that the college teams do not come within the agree ment between National league clubs not to meet any teams that play games with the teams of the American | league.
 The Toronto Mail and Empire makes strong protest against the schedule recently adopted by -the Eastern league. and commenting on the docu ment says: The schedule adopted by the | league is not by any means satisfac | tory to President Mack of, the Toronto club, and he left Saturday night fol | New York to interview President Pow | CTS in ordersto secure a revision of the | dates if possible. The home team is scheduled to open the season on May ? with Buffalo. which Is altogether l too early to suit the convenience of the | Toronto club. The grounds cannol 1 possibly be ready by that time, and unless some arrangement is arrived al whereby the Barrowites are kept or the circuit until the middle of ths month there is sure to he all sorts o1 confusion. No wonder the local clul l objected. May is not q suitable montl for ball in Toronto. Manager Barrow dates were. being discussed. Toronto Globe.
