BROOKLYN OBJECTS
Don't Want New York Americans to
Play at Ridgewood Sundays.

ST don't know whether the New York
American League club playing Sunday
games at Ridgewood would conflict with the
terms Of the peace compact or not" said
President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club yes
ter1lay to New York Sun reporter. 'but
intend to look the matter up. I will bring
the question to the attention of the proper
base ball authorities, and 1t will also be laid
before the Brooklyn clubs counsel and
board of directors. II It is the opinion that
the move Is a violation Of the peace agree
ment. then. II necessary. the Brooklyn club
will take the matter to a court of law to
decide. The New York American League
club has not asked our consent to play
Sunday ball at Ridgewood, but. as I said,
don't know yet whether there Is anything
in the base ball agreement to prevent 1t go
ing there. For that matter. don't believe
either johnson or Farrell would insist on
the plan IL 1t be shown that the peace COM
pact forbids It,"
Mr.. Ebbets said that this years cham
pionship schedule of the National League
would probably provide for the eastern
teams going west first this year, that Is.
after the opening home and home series.
Last year the western teams came east
first. and the season closed with the east
ern teams west: whereas this year the sea-
son will close with the eastern teams at
home. So 1t is entirely probable that the
western teams of the American League will
come east HrSt tnlS year. Dali JOnuSon HES
been reported as saying that the American
League Will open It's season on April Ia.
The National League Is likely to open on
the same date Whether there will be a
conflict in opening dates here Is something
to be decided by the Joint meeting of the
schedule committees this month. but Ma
tional Lacquer said yesterday that his or
ganization would not be dictated to regard
Ing Its New York opening. and that the
thought of both leagues opening here on
the same day caused the National League
no apprehension. In any event. the ques-
ton of settling satisfactorily the question
of conflicting dates may call for some deli
cate diplomacy on the part Of the schedule
committees.
