JENNINGS IN FAVOR
OF CONSOLIDATION
Manager of Baltimore Club Expects
Eastern League and American As
ISOLATION to Unite.

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec 29.-Hugh
Jennings. manager of the Baltimore
Baseball Club. of the Eastern League,
had a conference with Ned Hanlon con-
corning the makeup OF next season s
team. Jennings wants a youngster
named Sammon, OF Philadelphia, for
pitcher. Hanlon has secured two Ma
tional League pitchers for Baltimore.
Jennings expects a consolidation OF the
American Association and Eastern
League. as he thinks the two organiza-
tons could furnish a circuit of good
paying cites which would come close TO
rivaling the big leagues. At present 1t
is necessary to handicap both the Amer
lean Association and Eastern League
with smaller towns IN order 10 complete
their circuits.
In addition TO this Jennings declares
that the large cities now in the smaller
leagues, like Baltimore. rather resent
the idea of being placed in a league with
second-rate places, aad, in addition.
think that they are compelled to stand
sponsor for the deficiehc ies Of the small
er towns. He predicts important changes
in baseball associations before next sea
son.

the man preferred by the captain. IL is
believed that Bowditch will be chosen.
Bowditch was graduated from Har-
ward last June. During his four years
In college he played in four games
against Yale. His position was right
end. and in the opinion of many athletic
writer's he was the best right end on
the college gridiron. 1t is also an
nounced that Bowditch has expressed
his willingness to serve. with the stipu-
lation that his judgment should be final.
and that no matters should be taken
from his Jurisdiction and placed before
the other coaches for comment or crit1-
cism.

said Manager Barrows. of the Detroit
club, the other day. And, more than
that, l want to say that the trade

at any time. Practically, one may say
that the exchange OF players has al
ready been made. but the deal cannot
be closed up untiF the machinery for
reimbursing Washington for Coughlin is
set in motion by President johnson.
The league must make concessions
to Washington for the loss of such a
player as Coughlin, and II the plan TO
send Lave Cross, of Philadelphia. to
manage the Senators succeeds. why the
trade is accomplished. II there is any
trouble in putting the scheme through

NATIONAL is READY
TO COMPARE DATES
Does Not Want Conflicting Baseball
Schedule With the Ameri-
can League.

Barney Dreyfuss, chairman of the Ma
tonal League schedule committee, who,
It appears, has been intrusted with the
sole making up of the schedule for 1904
took a day off from holding the chair
of President Harry G. Pulliam during
that worthy's absence in Tennessee, and
in New York. said: Il have almost fin
ished the schedule for 1904. and when
we get through we will ask confer
ence with the American League schedule
committee to compare notes. The Ma
tonal League does not wish any con-
ficting dates. nor do we believe that the
American wants anything of the kind.
We VIII get together and arrange a
non-conflicting schedule The American
League has made this possible by ar
ranging for a 154-game schedule, the
same as we adopted. Had they stood
for 40 games. as they threatened. it
would not have been so easy, but now
IL will be better.
Il have tried in doping out dates for
everybody to minimize the length and
number of jumps as much as possible,
for there Is nothing which eats into the
club bank roll so fast and far as those
seemingly senseless jumps. I am salts
fed that we will be ready within the
next week to present a schedule to the
American League committee which will
meet with its appreciation
Speaking OF the coming season, so far
as the champion Pittsburg team is con-
cerned. Mr.. Dreyfuss said:
Anyone who thinks that Pittsburg
will not win the Dennant next season

there is not a change in the present
makeup Of the team. But / will have
