MAJOR LEAGUE SCHEDULES WILL
PROBABLY BE MADE SHORTER
Season of One Hundred and Fifty-four Games
DragS Along VninterestineIy

Shortening the major leagues sched-
ule to the OIL number-140-for next
season is being advocated by baseball
officials, and in all probability will be
adopted by the American and National
League schedule makers when they
get together to figure out the playing
calendar of 1905. Trial of the longer
schedule of 154 games this season has
convinced most of the magnates that
more than 40 games are both unde-
sirable and Improbable.
Besides costing the men behind the
clubs something in the way of money,
the fourteen extra games tackled on
this year are dragging the playing
season out to an undressing end. 1n-
stead of ending about Sept Is, the
1904 schedule will not be closed until
Oct. 2, and that means nearly a whole
month of pay in fan weather that kills
interest and patronage and makes the
players fell like letting things go to the
dogs.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-09-30

President Ban Johnson, of the Amer
lean League, has all along been an adj
Vocate of the 140-game schedule, and
will be on hand with a vigorous pro-
test against anything calling for a
longer period of play when the
schedule makers consider plans.
Opening about April IS, and clos
!. ing about Sept. Is, win be found a far
better arrangement, both from the
viewpoint of the public and players
and magnates," says Johnson. 1--WE
should not think of anything else for
1906.
The experiment with a longer
schedule this year will prove costly
in the end, especially to those clubs
which have not been making a great
deal of money and must keep up heavy
expenses during this end of the season,
a period that does not bring fat re-
ceipts i'm at'the gate.
Il am strictly in favor of the
shorter season for the regular
championship schedule for that rea-
son and because of the fact that
II will give time for extra games.
both before the opening and after
the close"

NEW STEWARD FOR
NEW ORLEANS TRACK

New Orleans, La. Sept. 29.-H. d.
Brown. manager of the New orleans
Jockey Club. I'm an interview yester-
day made known the rather startling
facts that Phil Dryer. the famous
track magnate and turfman Of Brook
Ign, had consented to serve as one OF
the stewards during the meeting of the
New orleans Jockey Club. and that
the services OF Francis Trevelyn had
been secured for the Office Of presiding
steward
Brown says that there will be no
trouble getting dates when the West
ern Jockey club shall meet. The last
OF the legal fight against the club hns
been seen. To-day the civil district
court refused 10 grant an injunction
stopping tho club from work. ~ WAS
alleged that the club had appropriated
certain ~ the city's streets, but the
Judge did not see that way.

the winter. This club was found to be
quite profitable to those who belonged
to it, and its public debates attracted
large audiences. The reading room is
well supplied with the papers of the
day and the library contains over 700
volumes which members have the priv
ilege of drawing out.
A feature of the work last year was
the interest shown in Bible study,
there being five shop Bible classes and
five group Bible classes attended each
week by $50 to $50 men. This season
the association proposes to increase
the number of classes and also the
attendance. There will be five shop
classes, six group classes, and a class
for training men to teach the Bible.
The Sunday afternoon meetings for
men will be made as interesting as
possible. The hour commencing with
the next Sunday will be changed to
5 o'clock on account of the Sunday
schools.
A series of addresses have been ar
ranged, for October, which promise to
be of practical nature and which
will prove attractive. Rev. o. B.
Chester, pastor of Wesley Church, will
take for his subjects for the five
Sundays of the month, The Young
Man and His Friends" Enemies, /"
Time" Influence" Hope" At each
service there will be special music. The
soloists will be heard i'm the following
order: Mr.. L. b. Fowler Wesley
Church choir, Mr.. w. r. L. Roberts.
Miss Eulalia Cox. Mr.. c. d. McCardel.
The young mems meeting conducted
by young men will be held Thursday
evenings at 10 o'clock, lasting lust
thirty minutes. Subjects bearing on
the daily lives OF men will be dis
cussed. This will take the place of the
meetings held on Monday evenings i'm
the past Other things win be planned
from time to time that will interest
young men.

kick. Managers aud owners also have their growl at you, and it is very un- pleasant, after a game. when you are dressing all alone, feeling that you are the most forlorn creature on earth, to have the home magnate send word to you by one of his hirelings that you were rotten, that he is much displeased with you and will have you transferred to some other town threat which he doesn't make good, now that league presidents stick up for their umpires.
 ''The umpires will make mistakes ot course. They know it and feel worse over the mistake than anybody else. Sometimes, too, an umpire gets careless or lazy and doesn't get around to see the decisions as he should. Then a lit tie roasting does him good and puts him on his mettle. But there's no use in bounding man. Poor blind Sny- der, is the way Philadelphia paper referred to Charley Snyder every day for whole season.
 s'The bumps that the umpire gets with the ball take the starch out of him sometimes. I got three raps on the wrist in quick succession one day in Brooklyn, and the last caused me such intense pain that l felt heartbrok- en. It simply took my nerve, unstrung me completely when you are i'll physi- cal and mental distress does not add to your omfort.'--F'rom the New York Sun.

THE TRIALS OF AN UMPIRE.
His is Me Most Thankless Job on
 Earth

His is the Most Thankless Job on
 Earth.
 Nobody who has not been through the mill can realize the tribulations of a professional baseball umpire" said a member of that long suffering clan the other day "Of all jobs on the face of the broad earth it is the most thank less and the least desirable. In the first place the umpire has got to keep by himself a good deal during the play ing season. His is 8 lonely and isolated existence a good part of the time. He can't afford to associate with the ball players because if he got friendly with any of the players 1t might create talk or influence his decision unconsciously.
 So the umpire holds aloof almost en- tirely from the players, stays at dif- ferent hotels from them and travels by different roads. I've seen the time, when I had my wife with me at a hotel, that I would not want to pass a group of ball players who might be standing near, lest one of them should say something insulting to me as we passed and there would be trouble. Some players are bitter enough to in suit you under just such circumstances.

ton baseball to me at all. I refused to think of it off the field. There's no getting away from the conditions of loneliness. It follows you from town to town, and in each place they have their grievances against the umpire. If you should happen to give decision against the home club the street car conductor, If he knows you, the wait CTS and everybody else with local af- filiations scowls on you. Many time you are entirely friendless.
 'Then there are the police. Some times there are not enough of them on hand to insure proper protection and sometimes when there are enough they'll scowl at you and swear a tyou under their breaths, grip their clubs as if they would like to use them on you and otherwise give you to under- stand that they are protecting you against theid inclination. I was once insulted by cop while on my way to dressingroom after the game. You know where dress, I replied. Perhaps you would like to come back there and and settle the argument But all he did was to call me incompetent blank ety blank, his fellow cops doing like wise. The cops are just as prejudiced rooters as anybody else
 As for the players, we'll you know how they make life miserable for an umpire. They are always ready to roast him, and seldom, if ever have a kind word for him. I believe some of the players would like to encourage the umpire one in while if it wouldn't seem so strange to them. On the other hand, there are players who. when you umpire your best game, are sore be- cause you didn't give them 9 chance to
